WHICH DAr.-During the week large
mass meeting was held by the pious peo.
pie of Bristol, for the purpose Of discuss
ing and deciding which was the most ap-
propriate day to postpone, the Fourth Of
July or Sunday. There was some heated
discussion pro and con, the members of
the Bristol Company being in favor Of
postponing the day ON which We cele-
brate, while the loyal boys Of the Hill
side Company were in favor of postpon-
ing the day on which we pray. The war
between loyalty and piety waxed hot
and heavy for time. 1t was pull saint
pull devil, and several times there came
near being a riot between the factions.
The debate was wound up by one of the
Hillside men, who calmly and feelingly
informed the men of the Bristol Company
that it was solely out Of consideration for
them that the Hillside boys wanted Sun.
day postponed. He stated that the
Hillside boys were old hands at the ''busi.
ness" and that they never were troubled
with headaches after day of celebration,
but that the Bristol boys would be in
need of rest. Such logic a. this acted
as an "eye-opener to the Bristol boys,
and upon a vote being taken, it was
unanimously voted to postpone Sunday
and celebrate the Glorious Fourth upon
the 4th.
