EDS. HERALD:-
The Fourth of July has, ever since the
establishment of American Independence,
been observed as a National Holiday. 1t
is certainly very appropriate that this Ma
tional day should be perpetuated, and the
custom of its observance be transmitted
from generation to generation. Not only
patriotism, but respect for the memory Of
our honored dead, demands appropriate
observance of the Fourth of July. With
this spirit an agreement to close up the
dry goods stores Of this place was drawn
up and unhesitatingly signed by all the
Merchants ofthe place, except ], L. Van
Deman & Co.. who refused to sign. It
seems their love of paltry profit exceeds
their patriotism. Our Dry Goods buyers
should understand this: We have a Dry
Goods firm that loves its lucre better than
its land. Buyers, Of course, can patronize
whom they please. but as the other firms
of the place will close, notwithstanding
the fact that VanDeman & Co, remain open,
it is hoped that their profits upon the pa
triotisn of others will, in the generosity
of their hearts, be applied to the National
Debt.
Olives there a man with soul so dead,
Who never tU himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land3' "
Echo answers, J. L. VanDeman & Co.
Yours till next Fourth Of July,
