NOTES OF INTEREST.
Those who drive to town on the 4th
to spend the day are requested to
either tie their horses in one of the

sire to say that the horse race TO take
place on Main street the 4th will be
trot or pace, not running race as
some believs. Persons having horses
they wish to enter in this race will so
inform DR.. J. B. Stevens or j. A. Men

In the afternoon the program will
start with the firemen's race at one
o'clock sharp. Games will follow and
be disposed of as fast as possible in
order to get through in time for the
base ball match which takes place at A
o'clock at Riverside Park.
Don't miss the calithumpian parade
which will be half mile long and fur
nish more amusement to the square
inch than any other part of the days
program. Chandler's ''leetle Sherman
band" in full uniform will be in the
procession. Farmers and others should
get here before o'clock for that is the
hour the calithumpians will start the
parade.
