A Pagoda for Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY
Bainbridge Republican, May 21, 1880
Now that the cornet band has been reorganized, and have commenced practicing again, with the determination of perfecting a permanent organization, why will not some of our public-spirited citizens make up a purse for the erection of a pagoda on the village green? We are authorized by several members of the band to state, that if a pagoda will be built they will give weekly concerts therein, or oftener on special occasions. This will add much enjoyment to the long summer evenings upon us, and drive away many an attack of "blues" which would otherwise spoil a night's rest, and leave the victim turning and twisting, and perspiringly praying for the dawn; while on the other hand, the sweet strains of Mozart or Beethoven would lull the tired mind to rest, and float it off into dreamland; and, refreshed and invigorated by "Nature's sweet restorer," the happy soul would awaken with renewed energy for the day's toil. Let us have a pagoda, by all means.
