He asked US what the Cresset meant
when it said we ran bluff over the

for it was that the editor was talkin5
through his hat as usual. Mr.. Nay
thinks we paid all the lot was worth
under the circumstances and he did not
care to force us into an expensive iiti-
CATION simply because we did not en-.
dorse him politically. Mr.. Nays spirit
of fairness deserves hearty commend

rHH FOURTH OF JuLY.

Written by Ladies Of the Christian church,
The citizens of our town have decided to try.
To have celebration on the Fourth CT July.
1t being the stockmen's convention they
thought it good time.
Both pleasure and business in one to combine.
The ladies we hear of the N. p. M Club.
Will decorate Duggies. yes even the hub.
The president has endeavored, she even
insists,
That all help decorate. why will you resist9
The programme. they tell us. they now have
made out,
They all 20 to the grove, both the weak and
the stout.
They will be led by our little town band,
Which may play the sweet tune of columbia
Free Land"
We hope the wind will not blow very strong,
As We wish to enjoy the address delivered by
Chester I. Long.
Perhaps the Pops had rather hear Jerry.
All be on time he will be there both Jolly and
merry.
We see by the papers our governor is COM
Ing,
To draw big crowd is why we are drumming.

That can tell of things we have not seen or
even heard.
My friends what we are trying to advertise
is this.
II our verse be tiresome do not take it amiss,
We ladies Of the Christian Church are a
very small band,
But on the Fourth of July we will have a
lunch stand.
Sandwiches. pickles, coffee and tea,
Ii you don't care for all four you can take on
ly three.
Ice cream and cake we will have on the side,
Young husband twill be quite a nice treat
for your bride.
Now friends we kindly ask you to give us
your aid,
For the debt of our church must surely be
paid.
By helping us out God will give you his
blessing,
With the pang of great hunger you will not
have to be wrestling.
Our friends now we bid you all adieu,
In the very near future we hope to see you.
We wish to be able in the sweet bye and bye,
To give you q square meal on the Fourth of
