IS Morris to celebrate? She GER
tainly ought to. A great deal OF
money will be spent on the Fourth by

business men should see to it that
there is something to attract it here.
Morris has an excellent band, good
oarsmen, good base ball club, good
horses and an infinite amount of
material which could be used in get
ting up a rousing programme for the
day we celebrate. We suggest that
there be shooting of glass balls in the
morning, procession, an GRAFTON,
music etc later in the forenoon, and
boat race, trotting and running races
and game of base ball for the after
noon with as many other things as
possible. The Phoenix Fire Company
are now making arrangements for a
grand ball in the evening. We have
spoken to numbers of business men
AMI find them all in favor of some
thing of this sort. All that is needed
is organization. 1t is a late but yet
there is plenty of time. Do not all
speak and act at once but get right
down to business and u lively time is
assured. We hope to be able to state
in our next issue that the celebration
is an established fact and be able to
print an actractive programme.
