The Glorious Fourth Given an Old
Time Celebration.
HoI6ATE, o. July3.-A great draw
hack to business and n thing that caus-
es ut times, almost an depressing quiz
etude in Holgate, is the "Huckster"
wagon, loaded down, and up too, with
every need Of man, from a hair-pin and
garter to barrel of -four, tue huckster
wagon is in fact provision store on
wheels. While it is much appreciat-
ed accommodation to the farmer dur
ing his busy season, it crushes the life
out of business, and clerks keep busy
holding down store boxes, and reading
"fnree Fingered Jack the Detective"
between sleeps. The huckster is an
aci. nowledged detriment to business
and the runner of one should be oblig-
ed to pay a license sufficiently large to
compel him to do away with this
troubling grocery store and the pur-
chasers of his goods to get their supply
through the proper channel-over the
counter. There is 3 lack of that busi-
ness air on our streets from which tran
sients and prospective loeatets draw
conclusions in 'sizing upp town. 1t
would be commendable act to circu-
late petition asking that license like
the Que mentioned, be imposed on
those who run hucksters.
The celebration in Holgate of the
Fourth of July just passed, like those
before have been, was a success in
every detail. Enthuiasm and patrio-
tism marked the day from early morn,
when the small boy came forth with
his miniature cannon, till Wednesday
morning, the last sound of the "merry
go round" fiddle" and Swing your
ladies" died away. The Fourth in
Holgate was an unquestioned success
hnancially,and visitors on leaving were
unanimousins saying: "We always have
q good time in Holgate." The most
attractive and novel feature for Hol-
gate of the day was the bicycle race
which was run despite the bad con-
dition of the roads in some places In
the circuit. The result of the race was:
lst. Hawley-Defiauce.
2nd. g e. f. Defiance.
3rd. g. w. Imes-Wauseon
4th. " j. G. Groll-Napoleon.
9th. g Root ot-Defiance.
9th. g &C. D. Davis-Napoleon.
The racers each held their position
from the start and it seemed to be a
high spirited race.
is marriage a failure? There is
one case in Holgate where marriage
has certainly proved dismal failure.
Neighhorhoods in the west end OF
town will testify to this, who awakened
all hours Of night by the cries and bias
pheinous cursing of "a feminine voice
who succeeds in making once happy
home regular hades. A woman,
whose name we withhold, makes peri
odical returns to her home, when she
becomes tired of her degading pursuits
and asks protection of her husband
promising to act the woman. Neigh
bors have endured this nuisance as
long as they justly can, and steps will
be taken to have present proceedings
put to an end.
