For great many years, Kendall B.
Wingatr, Il blacksmith and one If on,
oldest citizens, has invariably given ven,

from anvil an in celebrating the birthday
OF the father of our country. His failure
to do 50 on Tuesday gave rise to much

war agitation and his desire to preserve
the ammunition in case of emergency.
