A dinner will be provided in the hall
OF the G. A: R. for all the invited Posts
and such other invited guests as the COM
mlttee may beside to ask. The proposed
dinner in the Methodist Church and the
one in the hall will be heavy tax upon
the ladies of our town, but it is hoped
that the exerlions of the committee will
meet with all the success that they need.
little from every one will help a great
deal. and it is hoped that arrangements
can be made for feeding all the invited
us celebrate, and then leave them without
provision for their dinner, would indeed
be shabby affair. The large hearted
ness of our town should nObly respond
to this call.
The Painesville Cornet Band have been
making vigorous efforts to make a good
showing on that day; Mr.. Miller OF Will
oughby has been hired to lead them, and
rehearses every other night. Our band
will not be behind the others.
1t is hoped that all merchants and
house holders will decorate their build
lngs and houses with as much color and
bunting as can be raked and scraped to-
gether. The committee not having met
nothing definite has been decided upon
in regard to the general decorations.
Nothing can be predicted about the
weather, but the Probability Gods" will
be invoked for fine weather, and nothing
but rain will prevent one of the largest
crowds coming that has ever been here
to celebration. A meeting of the Deco
ration Committee Will be held on Satur-
day evening, and all the members are
urged to attend.
