A Unique Feature.

One OF the very interesting features Of
Peach week will be the parade and sham
battle which the Red Men and Pioneers 8
Of the Pacific are arranging.
The Redmen will be garbed in the
regulation garments OF tho children OF
the forest. They will hold big camp
fire.
The Pioneers OF the Pacific will repre-
sent the period OF 40. They will draw
up their wagons in semi circle, as the
pioneers were wont to do when crossing
the plains and they will be attacked by
the Redmen in a very realistic manner.
The work OF preparation has been
given to large extent to Henry Grubbs
and he and those who are with him on
the committee hope to make this event
one of the prime events OF the celebra-
tion of Peach week.
The Redmen and the Pioneers will
form part OF the parade and in the
evening under the glare Of abundant red
light the battle will take place.
