At o'clock pm. the baseball
players will give match game on the
public square, and there will be races
at the race course.
! At 8 o'clock torch light parade will
move to the square in the eastern part
of town and then large display of
fireworks will be given under the di-
rection of a committee that have had
much experience in firing Roman
candles, rockets, saucissons, bombs,
balloons and tom billions.
After the fireworks the Opera
House, City Hall and Hancock's Hall
will be open for all who wish to join in
the cotillion, waltz or polka, each hall
being provided with good orches tras,
callers and managers, and anyone who
has ever danced in Payson knows that
our city can boast of skilled musicians
REFREsHMENT stands will be provided
in the grove and at the halls, where
both substantials for the hungry, and
toothsome dainties and cooling drinks
will be furnished at reasonable prices.
ALL the surrounding villagers are
invited to come, and those that have
alre 4dy arranged for PROFESSIONS are
requested to join in our procession and
the general festivities of the day.
The hotels will make extra endeavor
to provide for visitors and every one
will be made welcome.
Our late refreshing showers laid the
festive dCst, and again the drivers of
| vehicles around town can see where
they are going.
OUR city looks cheerful and green.
The orchards are loaded with fruit, the
gardens are yielding an abundance of
peas aad potatoes and give promise of
excellent later vegetables.
FoR a snug, compact little city, Pay
son will commend itself to every visitor.
| We have better fences, more and better
barns and .yranaries and more cosy cot
ta2es than any other city of $500 in
habitants in the Territory.
OUR business houses are all busy with
a lively cash trade, and notions and
novelties that are bought only when
money is plentiful are greatly in de-
maud.
ARNOLD ABEGG has invented and con-
structed new well-boring machine,
watch he is running with 3-horse
power BoOkwalter engine. He is now
boring a we'll on his own lot, and ex-
peCJs to soon have an artesian we'll with
! an abundance of water. His machine
will bore about four times as fast as the
old style, which has been used so much
on the lake bottoms north of us.
OUR business men want some capital
ist to open a bank in our city. They
also want the D. & r. G. to come
through here and give the town sta
ton within a few blocks of the bust
ness centre.
PAYsoN has several cold springs,
each giving an abundance of water that
could be probably utilized in the con-
struction of creameries. There are over
five hundred milch cows owned by the
citizens, the income from which being
only about 25 per cent. of what it would
be if the milk was manufactured into
creamery butter. Who will be the first
to start the industry?
JOHN D. STARKs, late of the Provo
Coop, has built a neat little corner
store on Tenth Street, opposite Doug
lass & Sons. He will open this week
with a stock of general merchandise.
DIS. G. ILsoN, formerly of Virginia,
and a, J. Shores, formerly of Missouri,
have located here, and are already en-
joying fair practice.
