Celebration at Sitter.

At 10 a. m. the NJ. f. Sunday school as
sion was soon formed headed by two young
ladies', one bearing our dear old flag and the
other carried the banner Of liberty. A march
of quarter of mile brought us to shady
grove. Sufficient seats were provided to
seat our party which numbered considerably
over one hundred persons. The exercises
were opened with singing by the Sunday
school with Miss Smith of Platteville at the
organ. Rev. H. Sauer, pastor Of the NJ. E.
church offered an earnest prayer which was
followed by singing Miss Kluckhohn read
che Declaration of Independence. Miss NJ.
Sitter had defamation which was render.
ed in very pleasing manner. Singing fol-
lowed and Rev. Fl. Sauer favored US with
reading. Mr.. Fl. Henkel delivered the ora
ton. The exercises we're closed with singing.
Next in order was dinner; the people show
ing rather an aristocratic spirit BY separating
titul repast. The afte rnoen was spent in
pleasant conversation, singing, playing games
and swinging. At p. m. most of the peos
pie left the ground leaving the young man
with the "ice cold lemonade made in the
shade, &C. with few kindred spirits.
The day from morn till eve was one Of un>
clouded happiness with the exception that
one man was seriously burned with powder.
Long may the Fourth be celebrated with such
unity of spirit is the sincere wish Of

July 18th at North Lancaster.

FRIEND Pollock: Whilst celebrations
are the order Of the day it would be unfair
for the North Lancaster celebration to be
missing in the catalogue Of past celebrations
of that notable day, July 4th, which gIaddens
the heart Of every patriot. Arriving at Hall
ferty's Grove we found q frst-class stand
which had been erected by Ralph Place &
Co., where old and young could obtain all
that was desired TO appease thirst or appe-
lite. Adjoining the stand was platform
where the mirthful were led by the Fitzger-
aid string band. At about ten o'clock the
Orator of the day put in an appearance. The
assembly was then called TO order and the
exercises were opened by the reading OF the
Declaration Of Independence by E. s. Walk

then introduced, and right well did he dis
play his powers Of oratory. He is full OF pa
triotism, and knows how to express his senti-

The Celebrate On at Potosi.

Fourth of July, 1879, Is past and all who
anticipated good time haye had it, or else
have been disappointed; for surely those who
came to Potosi were not disappointed, unless
it was their own fault, for the entertainment
provided passed off very nicely and to the
satisfaction of every one. The day was
opened by the usual salute at sunrise. AT
an early hour the people began to assemble,
and at ten o'clock the procession formed,
passed through the principal streets and then
to the grove. First in the procession was
cavalry commanded by Capt. d. L. Greene,
which made a splendid appearance. General
and lady Washington who were nicely repre-
sented, rode first in the cavalry. The young
ladies', or rather misses, who rode, looked
nice also. Their costumes we're uniforms
consisting Of black riding habit, pale blue
sash and black hat with white plume. The
gentlemen had elegant costumes and rode
we'll Uncle Sam with his suit of stars and
stripes looked as happy as though he wore a
more elegant one. His suit is worth having;
it never wears out and always remains the
same. Next in the procession was the band
and then the Car of Liberty and next, citi-
zens in general. Right here word about
the Car of Liberty. The Goddess looked
splendid, and those representing the States
are no less deserving of that adjective. A
person remarked that he had seen this fea-
ture represented number of times but new
er as nicely as here. Reaching the grove
the exercises commenced. The band played
several pieces, and the choir sang America, y
"Star Spangled Banner" "Coming By and
By" and the old original yankee Doodle. y
DR.. Stephens read the Declaration of Inde-
pendence very distinctly and in an excellent
manner The orators, Messrs. Seaton and
Foster each made an appropriate and elo-
quent speech. After the exercises it was
proclaimed ''dlnner time" and the crowd
scattered in various directions to partake Of
the repast which they had prepared. At one
o'clock there was very imposing street par
ade by the cavalry which lasted nearly an
hour; and at o'clock those horrid looking
things that always make their appearance at
Fourth of July celebrations paraded the
streets. They did well their parts. After
this there were various smussments At
dusk the fireworks commenced and we're
quite good. The piece, Washington ilumi-
mated" was not as good as it should have
been for the price. After this the dance
commenced and continued all night and till
very near daylight. Remarkable good order
prevailed throughout the day for such a
crowd which is estimated at nearly three
thousand If not over that number. Right
here will say that every one thinks Mr.. d.
L. Greene is just the right person to collect
and command a force Of cavalry, and that
Potosi can get mp as nice celebration as
any town in Grant county, Notwithstanding
the hints thrown out against il. Readers OF
this paper, if you don't believe this come and
see for yourselves next time.
