Fourth of July has again come and
gone, and Rushmore has recorded
another celebration which was one Of
the most satisfactory ever held. The
day was an ideal one throughout,
and all things combined to make the
day one of pleasure. The calithum-
plan parade 10 O'Clock led by the
band and nearly four blocks in length,
was satisfactory in every way and
pleasing to all. The first prize was
awarded to A. w. Ferrin's display.
The second to the millinery and trim
ming artists and the third to the
movable bowery, and animal show.
Some of the floats were very prettily
decorated. At II o'clock the crowd
gathered in and around the large tent
and listened to rousing talk by Hon.
I. T. Brainigan, of Worthington. Mr..
Brsnigan's voice was clear snd hid
the attention of the audience for an
hour. The afternoon was occupied
with races of all kinds, hose ball
games, etc. Walter Ager and Clifford
Loveless, of Worthingtop, carried off
several of the prizes. The evening
spent watching the tirrworks which
were displayed for over an hour, and
the bowery feature of every Fourth
of July. Many outsiders have express
ed since that they never spent a more
pleaeant Fourth. This is what We
are glad to hear. 1t was the inten'
ton of the people of Rushmo'e not to
deceived the visitors in anyway.
Alma Nelaon's trunk with con.
tents is still held at the depot for ex-
press charges. The one to- whom it
is sent in care seems to be unwilling
to advance costs, amounting to $2.4O'
