THE FOURTH USHEaED IN
Continued from First Page.)

(Continued from First Page.) Fourth was ushered in with as much noise as it has been in years. Snlal! boys and girls with tin horns and cheap pistols were large contributors, for they realized that there was no time like last night when they would have things so much to themselves. Their efforts were felt and heard last night, but to-day tie big frecrackers, fireworks and guns will take the place of these implements of noise, and the patriotism of the small boy will be buried to all except him self.

 The fireworks display on the green in the evening will be one of the most elaborate in years. and the exercises to take place in Center church are also well arranged.
 Business in the city will be shut down as usual, and all of the factories ex- cepting Winchester's will close for the day. The Winchester shops will do bus mess in the morning, but in the after noon the employees will have halt- holiday.
