so to speak and if there was no display
of flags and bunting, 10 booming of
cannon and ringing of bells, the people
showed by their countenances and
manner that it was day out of the

together for the purpose of celebrating
some special occasion. Many promi-

here from various parts of the State,
the citizens of the town turned out in
large numbers and the country adioin-

for the purposes of manufacturing to-
baccO, with every facility for doing
first-class work and a large amount of
it.
The exercises took place on the sec
