There has been some talk of cele-
brating the Fourth of july here this
year, and great many seem TO be in
favor of it, Others are of the opinion
that inasmuch as Fennimore has cele-
brated every year for a long time, it
might be desirable not to make any
active demonstration this time. But
on the other hand Fennimore has SO
few occasions for the public TO cele-
Drate, that the national holiday ought
by rights to be observed. a great
many people would come to Fennmore
that might go elsewhere, and il is
as well TO keep the money spent on
such occasions at home rs TO have il
90 elsewhere. Boscobel will have no
the inhabitants of that city
spending all their energies in making
for the soldiers and
sailors reunion. This would leave all
the territory north TO draw from.
OF course the celebration ought not TO
partake of such sameness which has
them in the past. New
features ought to be introduced 10
amuse and interest the people. A bal
loon ascension has been suggested by
many as a good attraction. Fourth of
July celebrations ought to be held in
every place in the land. especially in
Ibis centennial year.
