Music Hath Charms

The Manvers Main miners are to be credited with keen heads for plotting, and to this may be attributed the presence of the Denaby Main men in the procession of last Monday.

They did not take the village of Denaby by storm or post a hundred men at the entrance to the shaft to prevent the workmen from descending the mine, but simply commissioned a band to visit Denaby at an early hour in the morning.

The music was too much for them, and the Denaby men wavered and finally gave way, and those who had determined to work returned home with only one idea in their minds, and that to join in the procession. The scene in the village while the band was playing baffles description. I counted fifteen different varieties of night cap, and a hundred human heads peering from bedroom windows.

Who after this will deny that “music hath charms?”
