Band work is one thing at which the young folks may times become peeved at, or things may not just go to suit them and all sorts of disagreeable things may happen, but laying nsir'e all jokes to have a band takes good honest hard practice, and that is work. The people of Lost Springs and community should feel the honor of having a band composed of young folks who have accomplished as much as they have with great credit to themselves and those who have assisted, in being priviliged to have such a musical organization in the town.
