"The Mineral Point Driving Park
association are making extensive
preparations for special feature of
entertainment at the grand Fourth
Of July celebration to be held in
that city this year 1t is expected
that many of the noted fast horses
of the state will be entered upon the
track, which will certainly attract
many visitors to the place. Inas-
much at there will be no celebration
at Albany the coming 4th, wouldn't
it be a good idea for the people of
this place to have an excursion over
the new railroad to Mineral Point
on that day. Albany, in accordance
with the time hCuored custom of
new railroad towns, has never been
treated to an excursion train, and
now is the time to have one. Who
will start the thing? - Albany
Journal. Yes, it would be a good
idea to come over and celebrate with
us on July 4th. Come and we will
treat you the best we know how, and
thank you for the visit Come over,
bring your neighbors with you and
let US have big, booming celebra-
ton together.
1t ought to be a source of just
pride to every person in Mineral
Point that we have amongst us 50
many excellent musicians and that
an entertainment gotten up by our
home talent wins the applause not
only of those most skilled in music
but of all who are moved with con-
cord ofsweet sounds" aud the person
who could not appreciate the fine
singing and playing at the band
concert on Tuesday evening is in
very truth aft for treasons, strata
gems, and spoils." The entertain
ment was highly meritorious, and
those who took part in it are deserv-
ing of the fullest mead of praise for
the skillful manner in which they
executed their several parts. The
band boys appreciate the kindness
of those who assisted them in
making the concert success; and
all who listened to the fine playing
of the band are unanimous in the
opinion that the assistance was well
bestowed About $65 was melted,
and will be used i'll the purchase of
uniforms for the members of the
band, in which they will appear for
the first time at our celebration on
July 4th.
