NEW PRESTON.
A GRAND CELEBRATION.


 A Fourth of July celebration is an- nounced to take place in H. M. Bolles' large dooryard in this village on Thurs day of next week. Preparations are now going on by the members of the W. C.. T. U. for most satisfactory gathering to all who sattend. Addresses are ex- pected to begin at p. m. Rev MT Lud- dingtpn of Worthwhile will again favor us with a patriotic address suitable for the day and all who heard him in this capac- ity two years ago on New Preston Hill we are sure will be glad to hear him again if possible. A lady from Massa- chusetts is expected to follow MT Lud- dington, who will speak more directly on the temperance cause as connected with the day. Ample refreshments will be served after the addresses and will in- clude ice cream, lemonade, seasonable fruit, etc. To do all this is matter of much expense on the part of the mana gers and to feel rewarded for the same this worthy organization hopes to see a large gathering of the people of this vi- cinity present and we feel assured by the information gained that all having de- sire on that day to visit place where or der, good cheer and patriotism will reign will not choose amiss in finding Mir Bolles's spacious grounds on the after noon of July 1. A general invitation is extended to all who can to come and they will be welcome.
