Cigar Makers. Attention!

We see no movement among the cigar
makers union that would indicate their in
tention of parading on the Fourth of July.
What's the reason; Surely our citizens
have shown marked preference for these
cigar boys; when they boycotted the stores
that sold the Stratton 4 Storm cigar, We all
took their part and under every circum-
stance they have been the pets of the city
and IN that light always heartily supported.
Surely they dor Z intend to ignore the wish
Of al of us by not parading. Seventy five
of them ought to appear with their trucGs IN
the center and making cigars as they march.
The expense would be slight. compared 10
our qualification IN seeing them with the
carpenters and iOiners, bricklayers and
butchers. There's yet plenty of tIme-so
boys, organize and turn out.
