THE FOURTH IN ABILENE

The fourth of July celebration in
Abilene, under the management of the
G.. 4. r. boys, was successful and
enjoyable affair. BY noon large crowd
had gathered at the fair grounds, where
nearly everything came off as advertised.
At noon the Ladies Relief Corps spread
the tables loaded with good things and
fed sufficient number to net them
about 1925. The veterans enjoyed a
''camp life meal by eating hard tack,
side meat, sc. In the afternoon Pres
ident J. p Quinn opened the exercises
with fine address of welcome, followed
by the reading of the Declaration of
Independence by w. S. Anderson, and
speeches full of deep thought, fine and
flowery rhetoric by &. G. Biting, Jr.,
w. Z. Seeds, and w. s. Stambaugh.
Mrs. w. S. Hodge, read the Emancipa-
ton Proclamation and recited a fine
poem. Her Evolutionary powers are
fine and she was listen to with interest
by all. The base ball game between
the Abilene and ROthSchild'S club was
interesting to the large number of spec
tatOrs. Only five innings were played
and the score stood 9 to S in favor OF
the Abilene club. A storm came up
about five O'Clock and put stop to the
amusements of the day. The committee
had on hands large supply of fire
works, but owing to the rain decided tC
keep them until some future time when
they propose giving lawn festival OIL
some entertainment at which the fire
works will be used. Taking everything
into consideration the committee car
pride themselves that they made sue.
cess of the day.
