To night marks the beginning of

versary exercises. The meeting will
be held in the Methodist Episcopal
church at eight o'clock. All the
congregations of town will unite
and the attendance will be large. A
feature of the service will be the
rendition of God of Our Fathers"

Bloomsbury never locked prettier.
The red, white and blue dress which
she has put on during the past few
days shows off to excellent advant-
age. The entire business length of
Main street, is gratifying exposi-
ton of rhe decorator art. Every
where flags and bunting are in evil
dence, not only on the buildings,
but also on the trees and telegraph
poles, and even the wires have lent
themselves to the purpose of the
decorating committee, all uniting in
making a scene that is gorgeous in
its magnificent splendor.
