Up to five years ago tn. town of
Jericho used to get up and howl over
the glorious Fourth, and it yelled loud
er, cheered harder and burned more
powder than any town of its size in
the State. Then a sad event took place.
and there has been no celebration
since and may not be for five years to
come. Along the first Of June, when a
public meeting was held and commit
tees were appointed, Squire Joslyn,
Deacon Spooner and Darius Stebbins
were appointed a committee to secure
the services of a Fourth of July orator.
The orator was to read the Declaration
OF Independence from the grand stand
and then indulge in some spread eagle
remarks about Lexington, Bunker Hill.
and liberty and start the crowd to yell
ing. Jericho had always had an orator
on that day and paid him $40 for
w%hooping it up. Two or three nights
after the public meeting the committee
on oratory got together to name its
mar and notify him. Squire Joslyn
took the chair and raped for order,
