The Fourth Celebrated;
y Labor Day Next.

The Glorious Fourth OF July has
again pissed into history and with IL
many memories both sad and sweet
are noted down in the sketch book OF
life. Our village was much alive IN
its honor. Excursions from distant
poipts brought crowds, so that the
avenue was filed with people OF all
ages. The weather man had the day
before sprlnkled the streets which
were prettily decorated with arches or
evergreen and the windows put on
their gala dress mingled with the iads
and lassies in their ice cream suits.
The baby cabs with their will-be men
and women in, and the great number
ofmiddied aged and silver haired with
their smiling faces and lastbut not
least the small boy and girl with the
enevitable fire cracker and toy pistol
all went to sht W that Independence
D3y had came, and time for celeorat-
ing on hand. The attractions were
varied and many. The leemo leemo
five cents a glass without which the
day would seem failurel was well
patronized, for old Sol came out with
suchreryor between the gentle showers
that came through the day, Just
enough TO scatter the crowd for
moment at time and TO lay the dust.
The program was carried out TO
letter. and each attraction drew It's
admirers. In the new Madison build
ing. crowd seemed TO center all day,
The bill Of fare Ia bowery dance) and
oh such fun. The Loveday Opera
House, there too was heard the SOUND
OF music and salute your partners,
We are glad also to say that one OF
our citizens is the proud possessor OF
an automobile of the latest pattern.
He and his lady celebrated by taking
their first ride In it. Its record we
did not acertain but think it would
beat all OF the past. if the Marshal OF
the dav, L G.. Madison, had not regu-
lated its speed.
There was concerts blythe two Bands

itself proud all the day and the even
ing torch light drill was superb. Tn
whole time was one of delight and a
far as we know no accident occnrre'
to mar the pleasure of any as it oftime
does. When the shades Of night ha
gathered the crowd rushed to TN
waters edge TO the hills and housetop
TO view the great fire works scene cor

try TO descrihe it and our only excl;

The revelations of municipal rotten
ness in many American cities, the
malign spread of the tipping evil
which is a form of dishonesty-aDd
the rapidly growing desire to "get rich
quick" by any means that does not
lead directly to the penitentiary door,
all reveal disheartening weaknesses of
character in American life. If the
developments as published day by day
we're to be taken as standard Of the
moral tone of the entire community,
the inevitable conclusion would be
reached that the whole country was
going to the bowwows. But the evil
that men do is blazoned from the
housetops, while the good is rarely
mentioned. 1t is humdrum ano
commonplace to perform ones daily
duty and be honest. There is no news
in such conduct.
