Although the 4th day of July dawned clear
and bright it was passed very quietly here.
Quite number of the citizens, who wished
to celebrate, went to Belfast, but the great
majority, however, remained quietly at
home. Fire crackers, firing of guns and
| blowing Of horns was heard almost con-
stantly throughout the day. Quietness
| seemed preferable to a great many this year
as a goodly number of people from cities
and distant towns came here to spend the
] day with relatives and friends. Others
chose Windermere Park for a days outing.
This place is of itself a most picturesque
and beautiful bit of scenery and is found a
very desirable location on hot summer s
day as the cool breezes from the lake and
the shadow Of the pines add much to the
rest and comfort of the way-worn traveller.
The day closed with a grand ball in the
evening at Majestic Hall. There was a
large attendance and grand good time
fast furnished excellent music for the oc-
casion. Mrs. Lincoln johnson and family
