The 74 Regimental Band from Camp Wadsworth was here Saturday; and furnished splendid music on the occasion of Dr. Beaven's speech. This band is one of the very best in the country and is composed of as fine fellows as one could wish to meet. They are, withal, very accommodating. This was their second visit to

union. 1 ney are scneouied for another visit, and we certainly feel sure they will always meet a very hearty reception on' the part of the Union people. The music they render is superb, and their behavior is excellent. We hope they will come often and stay as long as possible. Calls Pastor of Full Time. Padgett's Creek church has called Rev. E. A.
