Pawtucket tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 1890-189?, 1892-09-30
IN CENTRAL FALLS.
Will Columbus Day be
Celebrated Here?
A HINT TO THE CITIZENS.
John w. Davis Club Holds an En-.
thusiastic Meeting.

Are the patriotic citizens OF this village
going to quietly slumber while their
neighbors in the adjacent towns and viii
lagos, filled with enthusiasm and love of
country, proceed to celebrate the great
Columbian Anniversary? Would it not
be proper and patriotic for the Central
Falls Business Men to inaugurate their
Fall campaign by agitating and further
ing a home celebration. SO much has
been accomplished by this hust-
ling, wide-awake organization, that
any movement made by them
is an assured success from the start. The
TRIBUNE suggests that the association
follow the worthy example set by the
Olneyville Business Men, and call special
meeting at which a committee should be
| appointed to send out invitations to the
various civic and military societies to
| send delegates to a certain meeting 10 be
holden in their rooms at a given date and
arrange for union demonstration,
military and civic parade, trades pro-
cession, celebration by the school chill
| dren, a band concert and fireworks in
jerks Park, and many other new ana
novel features could be arranged for and
successfully carried out at a tritiing eX-
pense, the whole celebration to be met
| by popular subscription. The new park
| is nearing state of completion and it
| could we'll be dedicated upon that men,
| orablo occasion, being more nearly COM
| pleted;than the Worlds Fair buildings
which are to be dedicated on the same
| 10 nj
stands will have been completed by
| that time and the citizens of the
| old town OF Lincoln could not
| enjoy the legal holiday better
than by witnessing the dedicatory cere.
monies at the opening OF tho first public
| park in this town, and all upon the an
niversary OF the discovery OF this great
| American republic.
The TRIBUNE believes Mr.. jerks, the
| kind hearted man, would acquiesce in
| this arrangement and would do all in this
| power to make it grand success. Then
| again arrangements might be made to
give the Volunteer trial that the citizens
OF this place, who have never seen the
engine play, but who take pride in calling
her a winner, might try hand at the
prize winning machine.
With the enterprising pushers at work,
| who have accomplished so much good in
public improvement, this suggestion of
the TRIBUNE can become a reality, and
the Business Mems Association will add
one more laurel to the wreath already be-
gun, OF "Victocies complete" Get to
work at once and let "Columbus, 1892, be
| your motto and your watch-word until
the celebration is over. Success will
crown your labors, sure and certain.
