WARREN WILL CELEBRATE.

WARREN WILL CELEBRATE.
Preparations are Being Made for the
Premier Blowout.
Yes, THE celebration is going to be
held at Warren this Fouth of July.
Other places are going to have doings
but the only old fashioned rip-snort-
ing time worthy OF the name of "cele-
hration'' is going to be pulled off
right here in Warren. A whole bevy
Of eagles have been secured to do the
screaming. There will be no end to
amusements. The committee that
was appointed to secure money with
which to purchase fun proved them
selves veritable "big mit'' men and
went after the dough with such a
draft that they extracted an amount
beyond the most sanguine expecta-
tions OF the most lavish spender on
the purchasing committee, which is
made up of lot Of fellows that
would put the most inveterate female
shopper to shame in the way they
have made the money string out,
and the immense pile Of hilarity they
haVe accumulated, to be turned
loose on that grand and glorious
day when all America turns itself
loose to do honor to the memory of
those who gave US cause for remem-
bering the day. This material has
been arranged bya committee whose
fertile imaginations and wide expert
ence in such matters have enabled
them to sort up this hjlarity into the
regulation punches and distribute it
along over the day in such a manner
that those who are lucky enough to
be present will have one continual
round OF real Fourth OF July pleas
ure. More than this cannot be said.
