does me lots Of good to see a yankee.
There are many things in this city l
want to see and 1 guess I will not go to
church this morning. This city is as
strong catholic as Belfast is protestant
and that makes one place dislike the
other. Belfast has SO Presbyterian
churches while this city has almost
double that number of Catholic. 1 now

There is so very much here to see 1

For a wonder it is a nice day and
that is a jewel in Ireland. 1t has

THE LABOR DAY DATE.
Why the Celebration Will Be Held
on September LIST.

The committee in charge OF the
Labor day celebration have frequently
been asked why it was not held on tbs
state Labor day, the first Monday in
September. The reason is simply that
the knights of Labor under whose
auspices the celebration is to be held,
decided to hold their state meeting
Sept. 1st and End by reason. of the
regular day being taken up elsewhere,
Topeka will have monster celebration
the 18th and it would be impossible for
many to come to Abilene on that day.
The Abilene celebration will be full
Labor day recognition and will be de.
voted to the interests of the laboring
classes. Elaborate preparations are
being made and with the lodges
from neighbOring towns that will send
delegations and the turnout from the
surrounding country it is safe to esti-
mate that there will be rearly 10000
visitors in tie city at any time. A
number of good speeches are being
arranged for and all will be enter
tanned.
