Fourth OF July AFFAIR.
That the city will have celebration OF
the Fourth Is evidenced by the prompt
ness In which the committee appointed
by the city government Monday night
has commenced its labors. Immediately
after the adjournment OF the City Coun-
ell Monday evening the gentlemen got
together and organized with councilman
Mccartney as chairman and Councilman
Washburn secretary. Sub. committees
on oration, music, etc., were also appoint
ed and the gentlemen decided that they
had better adjourn until Tuesday evening
next when an opportunity could be given
the interested citizens to be present and
express themselves regarding the best
The committee held another meeting
last evening at the city hall and large
number of citizens were present and the
observance of the Fourth was freely dis.
cussed by all. Among those who took
more prominent part In the proceedings
were Messrs. Gottschalk and Barber.
Nothing definite was arrived at, but 1t
seemed to be the feeling of those present
that 1t would be good plan to have the
exercises open with alpublic demonstra.
tion in some public place and to have the
school children take part. The Declara-
tion Of Independence will probably be
read and Rev. Mr.. Horton will perhaps
be the orator. An invitation will be ex-
tended to the several military companies
of the city and Pawtucket, also the Uni.
form Rank of the Knights OF Pythias and
the Sons Of st. George.
The matter of having trade procession
was talked over, and one will most likely
be had. In the evening 1t Is proposed to
have carnival. Committees to solicit
funds were appointed and 1t Is thought
that $500 or more can be raised In this
way, as the citizens are very much inter-
ested In the celebration:
Another meeting OF the committee will
be held aJ the city hall this evening and
all those interested are requested to be
present and offer suggestions, and coop.
crate with the com mmittee who have the
celebration in charge.
