tics on the Fourth.
The glorious day OF our nations ma
tivity, rendered douhlv dear by the
patriotic i,r,ur aroused by the thrilling
experience, through which We are pass
iny, will lc celebrated with unusual
hcartinc>S this year, ii preparations
made are Il true indication Of the good
time coming.
An unusual and very thoughtful
provision has been made for enter.
tainment oi guests who may not have
friends to visit during their temporary
sojourn. The south store in the
Granger block has been fitted up for
their entertainment, seats and tables
provided, a barrel of ice water will be
on tap, and many other convenicnces
and comforts provided. This room
will be in charge OF Mrs. krcidcr.
The bicycle parade will be novel
and attractive feature and many sur
pti>cs await the public in the pageant
which Will appear on the Fourth.
The trec-trlling match will want in
nothing to make it a realistic exhibit
OF the way the gigantic monarchs of
the forest are subjected to mans will
by modern appliances.
The pyrotechnic display will be a
veritable reduction of Moro Castle by
Sons OF Veterans, under command OF
Coils. Cavanaugh and Savidge. One
section will, of course, have to repre-
sent the Spanish, and it is difficult to
persuade the boys to accept even the
alternative of chance to undergo that
humiliation. 1t is safe to say that
under these considerations, the poor
old fortress is pre-doomed and pre-
destined to fall, without the use of the
Versuvius' dynamite guns.
There will be public speaking, but
the assurance is given that it will be
brief, and permission is given to take
French leave" should any of the
Demosthenic aspirants for fame trans
gress this understanding and pledge.
