The daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1873-1877, 1875-06-25

The Gazette man wriggles and squirms
like snake on pitch fork He says he
won't answer it! then he tries and fails.
He had best leave legal questions alone.
The young lawyer is not seen upon
the street as much as usual now, but from
his closed Office comes sounds as when the
gorilla beats its breast and roars. It's that.
Fourth of July Grafton for Paptown.
The papers state that the Republican
lieut.. gov. of Michigan (Holtl will sail for
Europe in July. He wants to get out of
the range Of Mr.. Trott's shot gun. 1t is
not announced whether Mrs. Trott sails
with him or not.
Coal Valley will hold Union Sunday
school celebration on Monday 5th, 6. A.
Kramer will be marshal of the day; DR..
Martin, president; I. G. Furguson, of
Monmouth College, orator, and J. NJ.
Warnock, reader of the declaration,
There will be grand union stand, where
refreshments can be had at the usual
charge.
The prospect for three days of Fourth
of July this year is good. A number of
people have made arrangements for coun-
try trips on the Sd. the Germans will prob
ably celebrate the 4th in their own way,
and many persons will 60 in for patriotic
enjoyment on the 5th. The best way to
celebrate is to hold neighborhood parties
in the groves, have no banging of drums,
or blowing Of horns, or firing of cannon.
Read the Declaration, have little patrio-
tic talk, and a good dinner-then devote
the balance of the day to festivities.
