Independence Day in Gloucester County

AnObler anniversary Oh american lnue-
pendence, the one hundred and twenty
seventh, will be celebrated on Saturday
next, July Fourth. So far as we are
informed none Of the towns of the county
will hold general celebrations, a fact no
doubt due to the location Of so many re-
sorts within our borders, except Pitman,
the bustling, hustling little embryo city
including Pitman Grove and surroundings.
There the wide-awake, patriotic people will
make the woods and hill-sides ring with
their enthusiastic patriotism. There will
be parade, an Grafton and fire works.
At Alcyon Park, the delightful resort,
but short walk distant from Pitman, a
suitable program invites people who seek a
day of enjoyment amid delightful sur
roundings. This program will be found in
our advertising columns.
Grenloch Park is one of the most enticing
spots in South Jersey, and there the
seeker for rest and pleasure will find a
welcome. The Sicklerville cornet band
will furnish music all day; there will be
sports on land and water, including game
of base ball between Blackwood and Gren-
loch teams, and fire works in the evening.
AT Washington Park, the great resort on
the Delaware, there will be special pro-
gram, Offering no lack of variety and
interesting entertainment to all.
