Acting upon the suggestion made by
Hon. j. W. Rewey, at the last annual
session of the county board of super
visorS, the people of Dodgeville are
making preparation TO hold on July
4th, 4 grand demonstration, which will
not only commemorate the declaration
of independence of the United States
of America, but will also celebrate an
event of especial Importance to the
people of Iowa county, namely: he
payment of the last of the county
railroad bond Indebtedness. \ deep
and general interest is being man
ifested in the movement. and it will
doubtless prove very successful. The
Democrat would like to see Mineral
Point and other places throughout the
county waive the privileges of the
day in favor of the county seat. and
help to swell the proportions of the
demonstration at Dodgeyille. In view
of the fact that no general sentiment
prevails in favor of celebrating here,
we feel justified in expressing the
hope that this course will be pursued
