tered about the county where there
were celebrations or picnics. Quite
number visited Bigelow where it is
said there was a fine program of
sports carried out and that the town
did herself honor in providing at
tractive entertainment, which inter-
ested large crowd. At Round Lake
there were picnics and a bowery
dance which many enjoyed. Some
went to Spirit Lake for days outing
and few families enjoyed a picnic
in the park. There were numerous
picnics in the country, held by neigh
borhcods, the largest one probably at
Olson's grove. Those that remained
in town spent a very quiet day. Ere
quently could be heard the report of
tire crackers or toy cannons, showing
that there were few people left in
the village.
The most of the business houses
closed after dinner. Rev. Merrill was
orator of the day at Bige]ow, Rev.
Bull not being able to be present.
