There was an interesting time at
Preston Park yesterday afternoon.
Near the boat landing a huge pyre
towering high in the air. The struc-
ture blazed out and the reflections
on the water added to the beauty of
the scene. Round about the great
fire gathered n merry group armed
with long sticks on which were i'm
paled ears of corn. These they trust
into the glowing embers and after
ward eat with the utmost satisfaction.
The picturesque effect in the light of
the flames is something long to be re-
memhered.
This afternoon the merriment will
be continued. Mr.. Jones. who owns a
fine farm directly fronting the lodge,
was presented by the ladies of the
lodge with a big flag on the Fourth
Of July. Mr.. Jones is an elderly man
who lost an arm in the civil war and
whose intense patriotism is recognized
in all that region. He has sent out
hand bills announcing a flag raising
today and has prepared a sixty foot
staff, gaily striped in red white and
blue and surmounted by gilt ball.
On the natural terrace near his house
this pole has been planted and he has
arranged an elaborate programme
which will include a speech by himself.
