The Fourth.-Elsewhcrc we publish pro.
gramme our citizens have adopted for the
celebration of the coming Fourth of July
The various committees are enterprisingly at
work, and are meeting with hearty co-opera-
| ton from the citizens. The funds necessary
have been raised, which is the most essential
thing to the success Of the undertaking. In
the evening, in connection with the display
Of fireworks, there will be Union speech,
when jubilant proceedings of patriotic ma,
turc, hard to describe, are to be the order OF
the hour.
Terpsichorcan disciples will be glad to
learn that in the evening there will be a first
class ball, in Overmans Hail. The hall has
just been finished up in good style, and is
now the best room in the whole country for
a gathering Of this kind. Wilcox, of the
Carter House, has this thing under his own
supervision, and that is sufficient to warrant
its being a complete success
An orator of more than ordinary ability
has been invited to be present, and this part
Of the programme it is intended shall be one
of the most interesting features of the occa-
sion. Arrangements have been made for an
extensive and beautiful collection Of fire works,
which for quantity and variety, shall far sur
pass any similar exhibition ever had in the
Cedar Valley. 1t is intended to have Main
Street beautifully decorated, and there will
be no lack Of music, patriotic thunder and
all the usual manifestations people empty to
show their appreciation of the good old day
and its timc-hallowed memories. During the
day company Of" fantasies will 90 thro'
some startling cvolutions not laid down
in lIarlce's tactics.
In a few days bills will be issued giving full
particulars. The late day in which our citi
zens have aroused to their duty in this mat.
ter render it necessary to hurry the prelimi.
na,ics as much as possible, and we hope that
all will feel it duty incumbent upon them
to aid in every way possible. Let us have a
celebration that we as town may be proud
of; one worthy of the day and time This
is what we expect to have. The matter is in
the hands Of committee of arrangements
who will succeed. Let every citizen do some
thing to add to the celebration. Hurrah for
the Eighty-Sixth Anniversary of our Ma.
tional Independence Be up and doing
everybody!

Horticultural Erhibition-In our opinion
it would be well to postpone the Exhibition
planned by tho Horticultural Society for the
evening of the 4th of July until some other
