The Fourth of July was observed more
auspiciously here this year than former
years. The morning indications pointed
to a supelfuous abundance "Old Sol's
Send Down." but happily sweet breeze
was soon finding its way across the noble
and patriotic Delaware from a Southern
point until it reached this joyful spot,
and when eve was reached the unanimous
opinion was that no finer day could have
been picked from the 365 for the occasion
at hand. The village was never before
so profuse in its display of decorated
patriotism. Flags, bunting and Chinese
lanterns formed the chief materials in
use. The celebration, under the auspices
of the Epworth League, Jr. o. U. A. nj ,
and K. of P. No. 40, was grand and
successful affair. The attendance was
large, the program varied and good. The
parade was worthy of the first place on
the program. The two lodges formed in
front of their hall on Main street and
proceeded to the church where the
Epworth League attached themselves.
The march was then to the school-house
| where the flag was hoisted and given a
rousing salute. The march was tneu
down the new street, to Main street, via
| Water, counter marched to can house,
then up Main to the church, where the
beautiful new flag was unfurled and
presented to the trustees of the church
Addresses were made by Elijah Wheaton
Chas. W. Powers. Edw. Heron, who
also read the Declaration of Inde,
pendence. Revs. j. M. Read and J.
Ward Gamble. In the afternoon Rev
]. B. Graw, D. D made the address and
in the evening Rev. Dewitt G. Cobb
addressed large audience. The occasion
was very enjoyable indeed. Nothing
whatever having happened to mar the
occasion in the least. The Glaspey
Cornet Band. of Hancock's Bridge, was
present all day and discoursed some
beautiful strains of music. We hope il
will not be 80 many years as before until
we may have jnst another such day.
