The band boys’ box social, given Saturday night, was indeed a success, in spite of the bad weather. People turned out well and the gross receipts were $42, with perhaps only a couple of dollars expense. The boys wish to thank all for the kind support and most especially the young ladies who had boxes. A box of candy put up for the most popular young lady was voted to Dora Phillips, which all told brought nearly nineteen dollars.
