LOCAL CENTENNIAL HIsToRIEs.-lt
seems proper that the local celebrations
of the Fourth of July, 1876, which will
be held throughout the land, should be
made to contribute to a permanent his
torical memorial of the celebration. In
each county provision should be made
for the delivery of an address tracing the
history of that particular community for
the past century, or from the time of Its
settlement, and including a sketch of
lis growth, its resources, industries
prospects, etc. These addresses
should be published in uniform
size-that OF the Congressional docu-
ments for instancc-in order that they
may be bound together by States. To
competent persons the preparation Of
such addresses would not be an unduly
burdensome task; but in the aggregate
they would constitute an invaluable his
torical repository such as no nation has
ever had the opportunity to collect. De-
signations Of the historians ought to be
made wi.hour delay, IN order that they
may have time to accomplish their work
II is to be hoped that the press will give
general circulation to the project, and
that each journal will see to its consum.
nation in its own locality, and that the
Slight expense involved be assumed by
the county or town authoritles.-Grcular
from. Centennial Commission.
