The Fourth in Fennimore

Mr.. COVER The Fourth came to
Fennimore in all the beauty of a
bright and lovely morning A salute
was fired at SUNRISE and by 10 o'clock
hosts of people from this and many
neighboring towns were on the
ground. In an hour the procession
was formed and marched to the grove.
After singing by the Fennimore
choir, headed by the Burchards and
assisted by others, our chaplain, the
Rev. Mr.. Cook. arose, and in a spirit
of patriotic and christian devotion,
offered prayer most appropriate to
the occasion. Mr.. Il. N. Jones now
read the Declaration of Indepen-
dence. Then the orator of the day,
Col. j G.. Clark of Lancaster, was
introduced to the vast assembly by
the Hon II. w. MeNair of Fenni-
more. From this able and eloquent
gentleman we heard as good and
pithy an Grafton as we have ever lis
tened to on similar occasions. 1t was
certainly very appropriate, and re-
fected great credit on it's author
Another song, and then all adjourn
ed for dinner to meet again at 2 P.
NJ. At the appointed hour, all as
semble again in the grove. There is
now some fine music, and Mr. j.
Smoker of Wingville makes a neat
and patriotic speech. The Raga-
mullins parade the streets, after
which the people quietly depart for
their homes. S. n. ].

Iowa CoUNTY.-It will be remem-
bered that in March last Mr.. Geo.
W. Cobb made u proposition to the
people Of Iowa TO extend the Min.
eral Point r. r. north through the
county, and TO cancel the old rail-
road bonds, to the amount of $500,
600, provided that amount of local
aid would be subscribed to the new
road. The papers in that county
have since teemed with arguments
for and against the proposition. Pub.
lie meetings have been held in all
parts Of the county to discuss the
matter, and the people have thor.
oughly posted themselves as to
whether the fulillment of contrac,
rs proposed by Mr.. Cobb would les.
sen their debt or further embarass
them. The latter conclusion it seems
has prevailed, the County Board
having at recent meeting resolved
to eight out the bond debt ques,
ton on the old line" This will prob
ably prevent any acceptance of tn,
proposition by the people. Mr.. Cobb
upon this action of tho County Board
has withdrawn his proposition, anC

The Fourth at Georgetown.

Mr.. EDIToR.-One of the most sue
cessful and satisfactory celebrations
ever held in the southern part of the
county came off in the beautiful
grove short distance north of the
village of Georgetown. The atten-
dance was large. and the crowd well
behaved. Mr.. Hiram Gilmore, who
was also toast master, read the Dec
laraticn of Independence. The or
ator of the day was Mr.. Thomas
Robertson, of Platteville, and his
Grafton was in all respects a capital
effort. Impromptu speeches were
made by Mr.. Morgan Smith of Fair
play, and Mr. James Sheffield, of
jamestown. Mr.. S. made some shin
ing remarks. and distinguished him
self in way that gratified every
body. But the climax Of all was the
dinner. This was brought by parties
attending, and was served on tables
enclosing plot of ground 25ft. wide
and 75ft. long, filled with all manner
of eatables that you can name,as well
as with ar active corps of the best
looking and most efficient walters
that you have ever heard of. (Young
men will please make note of this }
There was brilliant display of fire
works in the evening: The only mis-
hap was the bursting of the cannon,
but as nobody had his head blown
off thereby or his person otherwise
mutilated, the accident was not
counted very serious.

The Fourth at Boscobel.

Mr.. EDITOR :-Independence Day
opened beautiful and continued so
during the day and evening. A
National salute was fired at 4 o'clock
in tho morning, and firing continued
at intervals during the day. People
began to fill up the town at an early
hour, coming from every direction.
The Officers of the Day, Ed. Palmer,
Capt. q. w. Limbocker and Frank
Mufiiey, formed procession at the
foot of Wisconsin Avenue at 81
O'Clock. and marched 10 the grounds,
near Mrs. A. Palmer's residence,
which had been arranged for the oc-
casion. The procession was full a
half mile long. After the people had
been seated Mr.. A. McFall was intro
duced who read the Declaration of
Independence. Elder Hackney then
addressed the multitude with q very
appropriate and telling speech-one
which was soul-stirring-one which
would fill the heart Of every true
patriot with devotion to his country
and of every American with love for
his native land. Hon. G.. G. Hazelton
was then called upon This ever
ready, accommodating gentlem
arose and addressed the audience
with one of those short, every-word-
to-the-point speeches which he is ca
pable of making. Both orators and
reader were greeted with round af-
ter round Of applause. The BoscobeI
Brass Band furnished music for the
occasion. One word should be said
here in regard to this band Six
months ago they secured, with con-
siderable difficulty, their instruments.
They have been practicing ever since
with unfailing perseverance,, and to-
day they furnish music for our cele-
bration, which two years ago cost
the town $3.50.
At q o'clock the "Hiopenbopenga-
silshef" made their appearance on
the streets. 1t was an entire success
throughout, and so pronounced by
all who witnessed the sight.

The Fourth in Patch Grove.

MIR. EDITOR Since the eye of the
public has been recently directed
through the medium Of your paper
to this little corner of the mundane
sphere" allow me through the col
umns of the same TO report the 4th
at Patch Grove not ga failure" The
day in itself was all that could be de-
sired. True, the jolly old sun looked
at us through cloud, yet none seem.
ed displeased even when he chose
to hide his face for a season.
The exercises of the day were in
troduced by prayer by the chaplain,
Rev. Mr.. Tracy of Bloomington,
whose coming among us evinced the
catholic spirit of true Christianity.
The Grafton Of Prof Clarke, unlike
many given on similar occasions,
soaring upon flights of fancy into re-
gions of imagination, was truthful,
suggestive, practical, presenting the
evils as we'll as portraying the advan-
tages of our Government. 1t seemed
especially suited to the exigencies OF
the times, for as it stirred the noble
impulses of the soul, it urged every
J citizen to individual actioa to make
this Government in deed and truth
the government for the millions. AS
proof of its fitness copy was re-
quested for publication.
After most excellent dinner, pre-
pared by the ladies for the benefit of
the Cornet Band, we returned to our
seats to listen to the "toasts" suited
to the occasion. Among the re-
sponses none seemed more full of 10y
al sentiment and love for the good OF
mankind, than that of Rev. Mr.
Tracy. Coming from the lips of q
veteran in this service, it went from
heart to heart.
Tho general expression was, "This
is the best 4th of July | ever attend
ed" and doubtless a pleasant feature
to the band was the addition of near
ly $3.50 to the funds in their treasu-
ry.
The evening was devoted to "trip
ping the light fantastic toe" in the
new hall of the Bidwell Hotel.
The many present and the pros
tracted festivities evinced the reluc-
lance Of lovers of pleasure to let go
their, hold on the 4th of July, 1871.

The Fourth at Hazel Green.

Mr. EDIToR.-Hazel Green knows
how to get up as good Fourth of
July celebration as any other place
to be found on the new map of Grant
county. This year her enterprising
people made an effort, and were re-
warded with the best time ever en-
ioyed in all the lead mine regions. A
flag hoated over Crawford Mills q
Cos store, and another, mammoth
in proportions, was suspended across
the street, from the Empire House TO
the aforesaid business edifice. The
celebrating was done on the fair
grounds, where the Declaration was
read, stirring Grafton delivered by
Mr.. Louis Shiseler Of Galena, and
many other patriotic things accom-
plished. The different Sunday schools
of the village had pic-nics in the
groves, and the amount of genuine
enjoyment that fell to the lot of each
party, as well as to the very hum
blest individual present, is of course
to be envied by all who were un-
fortunate enough not to be there.
In the evening there was a well
attended NJ. E. Church festival in
Crawford's Hall. B. Cornelison had
a dance which was very pleasant
affair. Mr.. G. Cent? had one also
which was likewise a pleasant affair
at least so said those who had the
presence of mind to invest in ga dick
erts" before entering the ball room.
