THE CENTENNIAL FOURTH.

THE CENTENNIAL FOURTH.
We have on several occasions called
attention to the dilatoriness of our citi
zens in providing for a proper celebra-
ton OF the approaching Fourth. We
have never attributed this neglect to
lack Of patriotism, but solely to apathy.
We are glad to see that one association
in Eureka has risen equal 10 the occa.
sion. We are glad to see that there is
a body Of men i'll our midst who have
rebuked the prevailing indifference
We allude to the Eureka Hook aud
Ladder Company, and we refer our
readers TO their advertisement in an
other column. We believe that The
thanks OF the entire community are
due to the company, and we hope thai
every other organization and every in
dividual in town will hasten t 0 respond
to the call for the meeting on Saturday.
There should be no jealousy in this
matter. The call has been sounded.
1t behooves us all to answer. Why,
one hundred years ago, our fathers
proclaimed liberty to all the world; de-
clared Il existence as people, and
founded What promises to be the great
est empire of history; and Shall we
not With purse and hand do all honor
to the day commemorative of our birth
as a nation? We hope on Saturday
evening to see every man in Eureka
present at the Courl-house, rta " with
furtherance OF the proper celebration
Of the centennial anniversary Of the
Declaration Of Independence.

larly adopted 10 this section whore
there is so much dust in the summer
