THE FOURTH.
CowANTowN, June 2Sth, 1871

COWANTOWN, June SStn, 1911.
EDITOR Wing The celebration of the
4th of July, for which preparation is being
made at Jackson Hall, near here, and to
which The Wig Office and everybody else
are invited, promises to be an affair of no
ordinary character. 1t is not got up in the
interests Of any party, sect, or class, but
nifty and liberty. Persons having axes to
grind will please leave them behind, for
they will not find our people of a turning
turn of mind. We want all to come
together as one great happy family, forget
ting that we are anything else but Ameri-
cans.
Arrangements are making to crafty
every diversity of taste. The lovers of
music will find rare feast of harmony,
both vocal and instrumental the Declara-
ton of Independence will be read by
competent gentleman speakers Of emf
nence have been invited from distance :;
and as call work and no play makes Jack
adult boy" the young folks will be allowed
to enjoy themselves in games of different
kinds-for which purpose several sets of
croquet implements will be on the ground
and good time generally is expected
There is some doubt if out Of doors will
hold all that will be in attendance, and the
Committee are in trouble, for they have
not the means of enarging it. So "come
away to the bowers" and let us have a
pleasant time under the shade of the green
trees. Good water is abundant. Whisky
is discarded. Come in the morning.

FOURTH DISTRICT ITEMS.

Fourth Of J@Iy OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
preparations are being made by the people
of this vicinity for celebrating the Fourth
OF July in a proper manner. A committee
consisting of ID. Scott, S. T. kimblc, Jas.
/ Mckane, T. J. Scott and others, have been
appointed to make the necessary arrange
mcnts. Mr.. VIM. Gracy, has very kindly
given his grove, at the Jackson School
house, for that purpose. Mr.. John Perkins,
of Elllton, has promised to be present and
read the Declaration of Independence,
after which several addresses will be made
by prominent speakers, who have been
engaged. Kimble's Cornet Band, of Cow
antown, has been engaged for the occasion,
and will enliven the day with some of their
choice music. 1t is proposed to assemble
in the woods at 10 o'clock, A. NJ, those
who can make it convenient, will take
their dinner with them, and share it with
their friends who come from distance. A
cordial invitation is extended to all to be
present.
Repairing -Messrs. Brewster & Son, who
recently purchased from Mr.. Baldwin, the
Homestead Mill, have commenced making
repairs, they intend putting in new
machinery, and expect to begin manufac-
turing in about three months. Their goods
will consist of Ginghams, Ticking, Shirt
ing, &C., and will be the means of giving
employment to a great number of people.
Htrgest.-With the close of the present
week the greater part Of the harvest
will be done. With few exceptions, the
are now hauling it into their barns, and
cutting late grass. The wheat will make
an average crop, while there will be little
more than half crop of hay, oats are
looking better since the late rains
TIE Pulpn.-Parson McIntirc, of Elk
ton, filled an appointment last Sabbath
morning, at the Jackson Hall. In the
evening there was large turnout to hear
Professor Mackey, of Newark. From
some cause he failed to make his appear
ance. Rev. VIM. Kershaw being present
he was called upon, and made very appro-
pirate address on the subject of Religion"
Weather and Crops.-The weather has
been very fine this week or two past, Civ
ing the farmers very fair chance at the
the harvest, which we are about through
with, in this vicinity, excepting the oats
which is fully two weeks late.
IMusical.-The Manayunk Brass Band
paid their annual visit to Mr.. Arbuckle's
on Saturday last. They had an upset on
their way from the Depot, but we hear of
no damage being done except the smashing
up of one or two horns.
Fan.-The grand fair, which has been
in contemplation, at the Rock Presbyterian
Church, has been fixed upon for the 10th,
18th, and 18th of August. They have been
making quite extensive arrangements and
preparations, and we presume it will be a
success. The object is to repair the old
Church. which has been standing since
1860.
Accident'-Mrs. Jos. Taylor fell down
fight of stairs, on Saturday night last,
receiving severe injuries, from which she is
slowly recovering.

Quarterly Meeting in the village of Como

gent, and commenced to demolish chignons
and white dresses. One of the combatants
had three of her front teeth knocked out !;
both lost their clothes, and neither could
come to time and had to be carried off by
their friends. By this time, their friends
had become excited, ard a general me1se
commenced, in which razors and stones
were freely used. Several were more or
less injured. The Trustees of the church
had the whole party arrested.
HothLun Rash.-The Rothlan Rash has
been prevalent among children in this
1,eighborI.ood, for some time. There have
been but two deaths, that have heard of,
from the disease.

about the failure of the wheat crop are
quite elated since the crop has been secured,
and find it the best for several years. A
number of steam power threshing machines

The late rains have proved so benef-

bid fair to make full crop.
