WILL BE A BIG CELEBRATION
EXTENSIVE PLANS MADE FOR
 FOURTH OF JULY.
Orator Will Dc the Hon. John shcrwin Cosby of New York.-Sessions of Both Committees Held Last Night and Much Business Transacted Official List of Committees Announced

A joint meeting of the citizens and the city's Fourth of July committees
 was held last night and it lasted until
 almost Il o'clock. All of the sub-com-
 mittees that were announced last night
 also held sessions and great deal of
 business concerning the celebration to | be given this year was disposed of in a | manner satisfactory to all The col- | lectors for the citizens committee re- | ported progress, about S1S0 being in their possession already. The total sum collected by these workers will have to be tapped to the tune of aImost,$2oo by the city committee In order to pay for the display of fireworks shown on the evening of the Fourth. After session of the city committee the members ar nounced that the appropriation allowed them would be spent on bands and fire works. but the money to pay for both will fall about $200 short, so a 'touch'
 will have to be made on the citizens
 committee
 A four hundred exhibition will be
 shown this year and two or three of the
 fireworks dealers were there last night
 ready to put in bids No contracts
 were given out, however.
 It was finally voted last night to
 have speaker during the open air ex- ercises on the green in the afternoon. Several we'll known orators were mem tioned, the committee deciding on the Hon. John Sherwin Crosby of New
 York city, a well known orator. He will speak on "The Declaration of In- dependence" at o'clock from the band stand, and if the weather is bad the ex- ercises will be held in Center church.
 The matter of a parade was left un- decided, though General Peck, the chairman of the committee having that part in charge said it would take place if the National Guard would turn out
