The 4th of July passed off very pleas
antly in this place. The crowd was not
as large as was anticipated, owing no
doubt to the prospect of rain in the
morning, and also to false reports cir
culated among the people of Crawford
county to the effect that our celebration
was to be held on the Fair grounds and
an admission fee charged. This report
was circulated in the interests of small
err doings in that county. How some
people love to lie! We can truthfully
say for the credit of those present, that
it was the most orderly and intelligent
looking crowd that has been seen in
Boscobel for years. The day was ush-
cred in by salute of thirty-eight guns.
AT 1880 A. NJ. the procession formed on
Main street and marched to the grove
near the artesian well. The band in
uniform, thirty-eight Young ladies rep
resenting the different states of the
Union, the firemen in uniform, Odd
Fellows, members of the G. A. r., fol-
Lowed by the Mayor, orator and city
council in carriages, and citizens, made
up procession that none need be
ashamed of. DIR. Armstrong was mar
shall of the day, and that alone would
insure success, for the Doctor has a
faculty of making procession out of
broomsticks if he couldn't get anything
better. The orator, Hon. r. NJ LaFol-
lette, did credit and honor to himself
and also to the occasion. His speech
was different from the usual Fourth of
July Grafton. His subject was, 1.-The
Relation of the Home to the State" and
he presented many new thoughts in a
clear, forcible and eloquent manner.
The afternoon of the day was occupied
with games and comical displays which
created an untold amount of fun for the
spectators, closing at night with grand
display of fireworks, all feeling satisfied
that they had done justice to the occa-
sion
