Beetham's Grove near the depot has
been procured for the 3D. of July cele-
bration. Elder ID. e. Talbot, of Elroy,
Wis, has been engaged as the orator of
the day. The various committees are
actively at work, aiming to make all the
appointments of the occasion as enter
tanning rs possible. The fireworks COM
mittee promise some unusually attrac-
tive specimens! of the pyrotechnic art
and say that the fireworks display in
the evening will beat anything of the
kind ever seen in this part of the conn-
try. With favorable weather Il rousing
good time and big crowd may be ex-
pected.
Sam Monteith Post will have q stand
st the grove on July 3, for the sale of
articles suitable to such an occasion.
The money realized is to go into the
Post fund. As we understand con-
siderable portion of this fund is used to
relieve neeessitous cases among old
soldiers and their families, their enter
prise ought to have the hearty cooper
atoms of citizens generally, and it
doubtless will.
