The Celebration at Fremont.

sFRrxSD EDfroR:-We desire To give you
short account of the celebration OF The
Fourth Of July at Fremont.
At an early hour the hardy and intelii-
gent settlers began TO arrive, some on foot,
some in OK wagons, some in horse wagons,
and some in carriages.
About 10 O'Clock the procession was put
in motion by w. B. Davis, Marshal of the
Day, and marched in good style to Glover's
grove, about quarter of mile from town,
where good seats and plenty of excellent
water were provided for those assembled.
The President of the Day. Joseph w.
Miller, called the meeting to order. and af-
ter an impressive prayer by Rev. Geo. w.
Perkins, Chaplain, the Declaration of IN
dependence was read BY 2. H. Lewis
Then came the Grafton. by DR.. NeWland-
The Doctor being little physically disa-
bled did not speak long. We did not hear
the address, but learned it was ''short and
sweet"
After the Oration dinner was announced;
and such feast of fat things we have not
enjoyed in a long time Every one seemed
to do his best, but still there was plenty
left. Indeed. we presume not half of what
was provided was eaten on the ground
Those who supelied that table. and the
managers who put the thing through. de-
serve many thanks from those wio partiei-
pated in the Celebration, for the excellent
manner in which they performed their re-
spective duties.

more especeially-were addressed by Rev.
