to have a brass band with seventeen pieces. Since it will be
composed almost entirely old band boys, we expect them to be ready
for service before many weeks. Walter Mullins is the leader and he
is certainly a good man for the place. If you want the town to
have a good band, show your interest by helping out on the expense
of getting started. It is no small expense to buy horns, music,
etc. To say yes I want to see the town have a band, but not able
to help is not much encouragement. – Mr. Barbee McAfee, former
cashier of the Pine Knot Banking Company, but now in charge of a
bank in Ohio, and Miss Uta Hutcheson, of Owenton, sister of J. W.

married at the home of the bride in Owenton on Wednesday. Both are
well known here and have many admiring friends who extend to them
their heartiest congratulations. –  Next week will be the closing
of the Brown Memorial school. A splendid program has been arranged
for the week, which appears elsewhere in this issue. This has been
a most successful year under the guidance of Miss McCord, the
principal, ably assisted by her corps of teachers. Miss McCord
seems in every particular to be the right one for the place, as is
most forcefully demonstrated by the unusual satisfaction of both
patrons and pupils.
