WILLRoY's WOODS FOURTH OF
July CELEBRATIoN.-Saturday, Ju-
ly Sd, was gala day for the peo-
pie of Bath, Fleming and Rowan
counties at the now famous Will
roy's grove, near Grange City. The
beautiful and natural picturesque
woodland spot was, so to speak,
alive with people. 1t is lovely
place, and the grand old forest
trees formed thick canopy to
shut out the intense rays of the
July sun, while underneath was
soft carpet Of bluegrass and beech
leaves on which the sentimentally-
inclined could repose while drink
ing in the beauty of the scene.
Long before nine o'clock the people
began streaming into the beech
krove, seemingly from every nook
dnd corner of the three counties,
ind by one O'Clock the woods were
a swarm of people. The attendance
no doubt would have been much
larger if it had not been for the
river being past fording. Tn spite
of that there were estimates run
ming from $500 to 5000 persons.
The edibles were provided sufficient
for all and some to spare. The
band, which came from White
Sulphur Springs, did not arrive on
the grounds until IL O'Clock, ow-
ing to the wagon upsetting and
breaking the drivers arm and
band boys collar-b bone. The rest
of the occupants received more
injuries, but not fatal. The day
was a hot one, and lemonade and
ice cream and other cooling bever-
ages were in such demand that
those who had the privileges of
selling the drinks were taxed to
keep in. We learn that those that
had the privileges of the grounds
reaped handsome profit. The
crowd began to disperse for their
homes at o'clock and by 5 o'clock
searly all had gone, and the 4th of
sss-,Eas . thing existing only in
sries OF those present.
iden's heart will thrill /
(. its memory, and many |
twain will look back to
Il celebrations as mark
