Jackson this year in becoming style.
Notwithstanding there was no other
celebration within the county, the num-
Der of visitors from outside towns was
not so large as we have seen on some

tive program had been prepared than
had ever been presented before, and
furthermore it was faithfully carried
out. The town was nicely DECORATED
with flags, bunting and evergreens.

street was dressed in patriotic garb;
several were elabOrately decorated, not
withstandlng the absence of any incen-
tive in.the way of prizes
