Schu? macher will give free open air con? certs during the entire week. "The Sumter Baad," as it is popu? larly known, will not be welcomed by the Carnival Show Companies, for whenever the strains of its sweet mu? sic? burst forth and mingle with the fes? tivity of the holiday-bedecked city, it allures the crowd and holds it spell? bound, while the spillers cry out the wonders of their performances to un listening ears. The Band is known far beyond the borders of our own state as one of the best bands in the south, and there is never a carnival or a fair in the State that it is not sought after, and when secured adver? tised as the principle attraction. It is the best organization in oux city, and is deserving of unbounded praise and of enthusiastic support and encour? agement. Bureau of Information.
