Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1903-07-02

Makes the Address. Great Sporting
Events.
Aberdeen will keep open house on the
Fourth, and, vita good weather, will
have the largest number OF visitors ever
within her borders. That those visitors
will be entertained and amused depends
upon the various committees, the mem
bers OF which have a great deal of work
to do, aud their efforts will be appre.
ciated in accordance with results. The
people Rave been LIBERAL in supplying
funds for the occasion, and nothing but
neglect of duty by the committeeman
can cause the affair to be such as will do
the city proud.

ferent committees are fully aware that
