the common schools of Missouri

His sufferings ended with the day,
Yet lived he at its close,
And breathed the long, long night away
In statue-like repose.
But when the sun in all its state

And walked in Paradise.

same be published in the Richmond

Birthday in the Good

gins will deliver the Grafton of
the day.
The great Importance of the
Fourth of July is gradually fad
ing from the public mind and is
not receiving the attention due it
in a great many places. The sac
red rites of the day have been lost
in the hustle and hustle of bust
ness. The love of liberty and the
freedom of the American people
is gradually being crowded out by
the love of Mammon. In many
instances celebrations are taken in
hand by individuals and 80 cites
with the sole intention Of king
them money making schemes.
Patrioatic speeches and exercises
are lost sight of in horse racing,
etc., and the only thing to remind
one of the great American day OF
independence is the occasional ex-
ploding of a giant fire cracker by
the small boy, who alone of all
others is conserving the day.
But here, in Eagle River, the day
is going to be observed in true
American style. 1t is going to be
celebration by the people fol
the people and of the people,
and everyone far and near is cor
daily invited to come here and
join with US in genuine celebra
ton of the 10Th anniversary OF
American Independence.
