PRESTON NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
AS all hope of a celebration of the
Fourth of July in Preston has been
| abandoned this year. our citizens
with patriotic instincts must look
else where for an opportunity to ap-
propriately express their admiration
of the government whose indepen-
dence was declared upon that im-
mortal day. This year, of all recent
years, is pregnant with meaning to
the citizens of our great republic. En-
gagged in a war for the relief of suffer-
ing humanity, we can celebrate line
OF action which is in marked contrast
with the cowardly course of the great
nations near to Armenia. We can
celebrate the fact with pride that we
are citizens of a country which has
an ear for the sufferings of people
struggling for liberty.
A neighboring town is making
ample provision for grand, old
fashioned Fourth of July celebration.
Ample contributions have been made
for the purpose and business is in
competent hands. The town in ques-
ton has an enviable reputation for
successfully entertaining its friends
and patrons. No other town within
fifty miles of us can get as big
crowd together to celebration or
race meeting as Cresco. On the
lcoining Fourth OF July Cresco will
have bath, celebration and race meet
Ing on may enjoy either or both,
dau bt1ess liz will be both for a jam up
good horse raeezis a fitting finale to
the Screaming of the eagle. The
purses at Greseo are liberal and will
attract good horses including several
of the good ones in Fillmore county.
