Hips.
While all the Committees. connec.
ted with the celebration of the Fourth,
deserve credit for the the able manner
IN which they filled their various parts,

viding the ways and means, collecting
and distributing the funds, all of
which he did successfully.

announced as probable candidate for
the Legislature this Fall, declines the
