Correspondence OF the Gazette.
CLIFTON, TEX July 5.-Yesterday
was glorious day in the history of
our sister town of Clifton. Her enter
prising citizens determined to Gel
citrate the GLORIOUS Fourth" and
they did it in good style. They sent
out invitations to neighboring COM
munities to cooperate with them in
the preparation, and to all the country
land the rest of mankind" to partici-
pate with them in the enioyments of
the occasion.
Leaving our place on $3.50 o'clock on
the Lampasas train of the Gulf, Col
orado d Santa Fee railroad, and traver.-
ing ten miles of Bosque valley lands,
past steam threshers in their active
work, aud through fields rejoicing in
the splendid prospect of bountiful
harvest, we were soon OH the grounds.
The first thing that attracted our at
tention was the "stsrs and stripes''
and the flag of Norway floating in the
same breeze, reminding that the peo-
pie We're proud Of the citizenship in
the American Union. and that our
adopted citizens cherished the memory
of their native land. The first thing
in the way Of an entertainment after
we reached the ground was success
full performance in ventriloquism by
Prof. -, well, we beg pardon TO the
fellow for forgetting his name, for he
has mastered this art, ] assure you.
Prof. w. a. Culberson, principal Of
Clifton academy, delivered the address
of welcome, and right we'll did he do
| it, too.
1t was announced that the commit
tee had been disappointed in getting
the eminent speakers expected from
a distance, and some OF those present
were called upon for impromptu ef-
forts. o. l. Lockett, Esq, a rising
young member of the Meridian bar.
WAS called upon and spoke quite well
upon the duties of American citizen
ship. When he finished his speech
| some one in the crowd said in a voice
considerably above whisper, "Trot
| out free-grass man."
Rev. G. A. Coulston, Baptist min
lister Of CoIsicana, was the next
speaker. He complained that the
former speaker had spread over the
| whole field, but he was equal to the
emergency for he extended his domin-
ions into still remoter fieldp.
Next came dinner, and II every body
did as well rs your correspondent they
ought to hope that Clifton will give
frequent celebrations. We understood
there was ample To feed all. 1t was
estimated that including candidates
there were 1900 people present. The
afternoon was given to the candidates,
and they used II well as i learned
from one of them this morning. / had
to leave SOON after dinner which
much regretted, but those who depend
upon railroads to carry them have 10
go when the train comes.
At night there was grand ball.
The Morse band furnished excellent
music which added much 20 the enter
tainment.
Clifton 10 an enterprlsing town
where libersl-minded. progressive men
steer the craft, and we hope In future
to give you more extended notice Of
them.

SPARTA, July 5.-The Fourth of July

joyed one of the incest barbecues that

Joined by ten or fifteen couples OF
young people from Weatherford. The
ground had been nicely prepared and

the young folks enjoyed themselves
until midnight. Toe dinner could
have been no better. There was every
thing to eat that could be thought OF,
and In abundance. The meat was
cooked on the ground, and of all kinds.
