WATTS MILLS RAND GIVES CONCERT PRIDAY Will Play on the Public Squate Frid'py Afternoon at 2:80 O'cloek. (Contributed.) The question of "What ha become of the Watts Milla Concert Bland?" is about to bp answered, as this organiza tion will give a concert on tbe steps of the court house in Laurens onFri clay afternoon, December 24th, at 2:30 o'clock. The process of geting into shape to give a public performance ha., been necessarily slow, (ue to the fact that none of the members were familiar with the first principles of music and naturally -had to begin at the first. In addition to this handicap,' it w found necessary to increase the num ber of instrungents, -and this set the banyd back sewbat in order for the new members to become proficient. it was also necessary to make a change in -thie directorship, but it is; believed tha thue change was made fa .the bet ter as the present director hA c, in 'the short time he hias had charge of the band, made excellent p1)rogress;. The :band now has oan Iia rumenta tion of 26 pIeces as follows: - Corneta-W. 'M. Wod,,sohoist; - I. Kir by, soloist; GOh Waidrop, first cor net, rW. M. Kirby, sud cor et; E.~ M. Moore, third cornet.
