The development, by the coop- erative work of the board and school patrons, of a modern country school, will powerfully stimulate the educational spirit in all directions, for miles around.

Example is a powerful teacher. The concert given by the Sontag. Military Band Friday of last. week was a decided success musically and financially. A large crowd was present and enjoyed their delightful music greatly, and by their generous applause testified to the high character of the music.

Lafayette certainly has cause to be proud of having such a fine musical organization. Mr. Emile Hauptman, an experienced piano tuner, will be in Lafayette to-day. Those whose pianos are. in want of attention, should take advantage of Mr.
