WILL WE CELEBRATE THE GLORIOUS FOURTH?

Band Boys Have Offer to Go Away But Would Sooner Play at Home Celebration. It Is time to start if we intend to celebrate the Glorious Fourth. Already other towns have started arrangements and the Rensselaer band has been offered other engagements. They would, however, prefer playing at home if their services are needed, and a 4th of July celebration certainly, needs a band. The boys’ band has a reputation not limited to home and they would be able to take their choice of several places. It is a good idea for Rensselaer to celebrate the 4th every year -and the past successes assure big crowds. Let us get busy and give a hummer this year and keep the band at home.
