Visitor at the Madison county
basketball ; toprnament, which was
held in the high school gymnasium
at Walnut last Thursday, Friday, and
Saturday, were greeted not only with
thrilling ffames (between contending
teams and enthusiastic cheering from
fans and refreshments sold for bene
fits by the school, but they; were
given entertainments between- games
by recently formed band of young
people under the leadership . of the
Rev. James L. Hyde, of Walnut, This
is rather unique band,' in that the
oldest person in the band, except the
director, ia thirteen years of age, and
their age run down aa low aa nine.
Of all the twelve participants only
thre are boy, and, their skiU' witb 4
their . instruments is remarkable waen , I
one conaidem their - age and the4
length oftime they have been in train
ing. Most of the instruments are the
property of the Rev. Mr. Hyde who
has trained a number of bands in the
past. At the request of the publisher
of this paper, the director furnished
us with the names the ages, the
grades, and the instrument of the
members of this band. . They are as
follows: picilo, Marie Meadowv age

Despite the fact that the highway
left Walnut off to one side, this eom
