Full Text

A New Band is about starting at Bossardsville, in this county. This will make five bands in a county, which two years ago had to go abroad whenever music was needed for political or other public occasions. We learn that the leader is not yet chosen, but we think there is no need of trouble on this score. The experience of Brodheadsville, Fennersville and our Stroudsburg Cornet band clearly demonstrates that Prof. Moran is just the person to draw music even from sources where the existence of music was never suspected before, though we do not by any means, wish to be understood as placing our Bossardsville friends in that category. Professor Moran is both a skilful performer and a successful teacher, and is withal a genial gentleman, who makes fast friends of pupils and all others with whom he comes in acquaintance. Don't go farther boys, and fare worse, in searching for a proper teacher for your band. It is at the beginning that the foundation for a good band is always laid, and Prof. Moran knows just how to make that beginning.
