 The "glorious fourth" passed off here in very quiet manner. Most of the business houses were closed and many of our citizens attended the pic. nics at Mountain Springs and London. A faw flags were displayed and the small boy and his fire cracker were heard quite frequently. A game of ball between the first and second hines of Russellville was played in the after noon resulting in a victory for the first nine by a score of Is to 20. A fisticuff just about night, caused primarily by an overdose of "mountain dew" closed the daY's festivities.
