to erect a two story brick. The
Woodmen of the World will very
probably accept a proposition offered
by Mr. Fox for two lots on the east
side of and fronting the hotel, upon
which lots they will erect a three
story building. Other buildings on
those two blocks are also in contem-
plation. It is understood that dirt
will be moving for these buildings
within the next thirty days. Turn
Hereford loose, and if she wants to
spread herself, let her go.
Band Boys Dress Up.
Last Saturday the members of the
Hereford Concert Band received
their new suits. They are swell af-
fairs and adds a commendable mili-
tary aire to the company of young
men. While the boys may net be
able to blow out any better music,
they will, at least, feel the good ef-
fects of having suitable uniforms
and will work harder. Their efforts
should be appreciated by the public
as the members give their time and
expend their own money for the
pleasure of the Hereford folks. Any
assistance given them wiU be return-
ed in the proper key. The band
will lead the Woodmen line of march
from the hall to the cemetery next
Sunday afternoon and participate in
the unveiling exercises.

tree will give a piano recital at the

ginning at 8 :30 p. m. An evening,

The above was the topic of a dis-
cussion at a meeting of the pastors
and some of the laymen of the dif-
ferent churches Thursday afternoon.
The hat obstruction at some of the
churches has become so disturbing
that a move was put on foot to see
if by some means the ladies could be
prevailed upon to remove their hats
during the preaching services.
All agreed that the hats were in
the way of the congregation getting
the full benefit of the services. After
a discussion of the many difficulties
and hinderances in the way of the
pastor preaching and the people
hearing under present conditions it
was decided that each pastor should
take the matter up with bis congre-
gation in his own way on next Sab-
bath and make whatever request he
might see fit. Some of the ladies of
the different churches have express-
ed themselves as decidedly in favor
of the move and express a willing-
ness to remove a bat that keeps some
other persons from seeing the preach-
er and the preacher from seeing his
congregation.
The Brand considers this a worthy
move on the part of the pastors and
laymen and hopes the day is at hand
when a person may go to church in
Hereford and really see the preach-
er and have some interest in the
services, without having to sit on
the front row.
There is no question that the size
of the uew hats prevents many from
enjoying their church service, but it
must be also admitted that for
beauty and attractiveness the hat
creations excell all previous at-
tempts in the art. But however
tunning their hats may be, the
idies can be depended upon to do
the proper thing. They remove
their hats at the opera house, at
Chautauqua gatherings, at special
summer revivals and at all other
places where the crowns of beauty
obstruct the view of their friends, or
when requested by the proper person
' in charge.
