Newton centennial is over and It
ts comical to hear the different
opinions as TO whether it was
success or not If a crowd is e
success then Newton scored a big
one, otherwise not. One could not
hear the speakers ten feet away,
and I am sorry to say that the fair
sex let their tongues have full
swing and that drowned the speaker
but they had a fiue time in gossip
ing. Many were turned away from
the speakers stand by a pompous
official, although the stand was not
full at any time The hotels did
not make their pile and the street
stands lost money and taken all
around it was not the success an
ticipated but all the slme Newton
held big crowd for once
