The Fourth in Somerset.

The celebration of the Fourth was the
most enioyrble one we have ever witnessed
The morning WAS bright and warm, and
people from the surrounding country came
early. At 10 O'Clock the Somerset Band
played several lively heirs and proceeded
to the grounds AS the day grew on the
crowd increased. At the appointed time
the Declation of Independence was
read and the orations delivered after which
the eight footed and GRACEFUL" enjoyed
themselves in pic mic style to the music
of the string band.
During the later part of the afternoon @
light shower warned the crowd that they
had better disperse, as in all probability
that they would get ducking if they re
mained, which they proceeded to do.
In the evening it had again cleared ~
and the atmosphere was somewhat cooler
Preparations were being made for the ball
which was the prominent feature of the
celebration, and which was a complete sue
cess. There were between seventy ant
eighty couples present, and the order wa
remarkably good.
The day passed off quietly and ther
was very little drunkenness and not sin
gle disturbance.

The above quotation might be very fit-
tingly applied to the lady(O who wrote
the article in last week Press signed

disregard for the truth or has a superla
lively narrow mind. A person must have
an unlimited amount of pure unadulterated
cheek, to take it upon herself to express to
the people at large, that 'the citizens of
Somerset are under obligations to the Som
erset Brass Band for changing the Drsmat-
ic entertainment into a grand ball" Of
course the "citizens" have no right to think
for themselves, and will highly appreciate
the generous kindness of "Miss Dodger" in
expressing their sentiments for them. Miss
D. is no doubt very smart. She must be
80 to write such mashing article, but she
shows very dirty, mean disposition when
she takes the cowardly advantage of stri-
king one behind their backs.
