1t is about time some move was be-
iug made in this city asto Il proper cele-
bration of the Fourth OF July. Eagle
River could have ;rcreditable celebration
this year should its citizens enter into it
with the proper spirit. Don't wait until
the last week or day before the Fourth
to make arrangements as by that time
many of our citizens and citizens OF
neighboring towns will have had their
minds made up to celebrate elsewhere, SO
the sooner some move is made in the
matter the better it will be. Last year
we had no celebration here and the town
presented deserted appearance indeed,
SO let us endeavor this year to put up a
celebration long to be remembered III
