The next big event is the fifth
annual home coming, for which great
preparations are being made and the
assurance is made that the affair this
year will far eclipse anything ever
before attempted in WATERFOWL. The
decorations will be a feature that will
outsh'ne anything in the line of deco
rations ever seen in tbs section of the
state. The committee has chosen wisely
in the selection of MIR. Tucker of
Milton Junction, to look after this
feature of the celebration He ha S
already demonstrated that he is an
artist in his lire. He has decora ted
the Leader office, Schiebel's plumbing
store and the Gamm drug store. The
work is pronounced satisfactory by
ALL who have seen it End already on
teh strength of the same he has re-
ceived numerous orders, which he does
at very reasonable figures. The street
decorating he does free of charge and
naturally expects that the merchants
and business men Of the city will
appreciate his generous offer to the
extent of having their own places
| beaut flied for the occasion. The deco
week.
The Leader has heard some oblec-
| ton to the decorating SO early out of
u that the same would be destroyed
in case of rain. Mr.. Tucker, however,
assures the public that this is a mis-
taken idea and declares that the rain
would only do good and wash the dust
out of the material, further giving
the assurance that the cloth could be
boiled and the colors would still re-
main the same.
Not only are great preparations
being made in the way of decorate ng
the city, but there will be something
doing throughout the home coming on
Sunday, August 4th. Arrangements
are also being made for the entel tain
ment of the visitors on Saturday, Aug
ust 3rd. The home coming day ad-
dress is to be delivered by Judge
Martin L. Lueck of Juneau. There
will be amusements of all kinds and
IN fact bill offered that will make the
stay OF all former residents most pleas
ant and enjoyable. The various COM
mittees are holding frequent meetings
and devising ways and means to make
the affair one that will linger for
ever in the memory of all visitors to
WATERFOWL.
The next big event for the citizens
of Watertown to participate in will
be the annual observance Of Labor
Day on Sept. End. The organized labor
of w atertown will make the usual
prepare tions for the observance of this
day and urge the citizens of the city to
