H. U. Cable, W. W. Kimball, E. G. Keith,
Gen. Fitz Simons, C. H. McDonald, and
H. H. Aldxich. Those who acted as pall-
bearers were E. J. Harkness, R. E. Jen-

B. L. Curtiss, who has been connected

R. C. Hull, of the Brockport Piano Man-

and undoubted business ability he cannot

Braumuller is a bright, wide-awake New
Yorker, who is going to make a "hit" in
due time as a piano man. He is a good
talker, and better than all, knows what he
is talking about.
Among the recent visitors to this city
were the Messrs. Bailey, of Shelbina, Mo.;
S. B. Waggoner, Knoxville, Tenn.; W. H.

for an active fall business, which is bound
to come their way, if there is any business

are especially attractive, and they cannot
fail to be effective trade winners.

Elkhart, Ind. The organization celebrated
its first anniversary Friday of last week,

who made the most manly appearance;
the most regular attendant, and the best
drummer. It was a great evening for the
C. G. Conn drum corps.
