THE FOURTH AT EVANSVILLE.
The day was celebrated at Grants
vile by an immense gathering of
people of all ages, at Folks sugar
grove. There were on the grounds
over one thousand persons, conveyed
thither by one hundred and ten We
hicles, a number of them being
drawn by four horses. The wagons
and carriages were gaily decorated
with flags and banners, and filled
with the healthy, blooming lasses of
that famous region. The participants
embraced the Sunday-schools of
Grantsville Salisbury and Wilhelm's
and also many persons of the Amish
and Mennonite communities. The
exercises at the stand consisted of
speeches by Messrs. VIM. Hay, and
Baltz. Welfley, Rev. c. Heilman,
Rev. Krozer and Rev. Young. A
number of songs were sung by the
respective schools and glee club
and the Grantsyille brass band dis
coursed at short intervals inspiriting
music. Refreshments, provisions of
all kinds, and lemmonade by the
hogshead, were most beautifully
furnished. The weather was delight:
full, and the picnic in every way the
greatest success of the kind ever
known in that section of the coun-
try Cumberland Nea0s.
