THE FOURTH At SALISBURY
Village improvement Society Has Ar
ranqed Elaborate Program.

ranged Elaborate Program.
In May 1902 few of the public
spirited people of SALISBURY met and
organized society for the improve
ment of the village generally and Cole
hall in particular.
Cole hall was built and for time
used as a Universalist church, later
the members of this society died and
moved away and finally the church
was decided to the town for public pur
poses. The main hall had been al
lowed to become sadly in need of re-
pairs, so much so, that 1t was impos'
sible to use 1t.
The Village Improvement society
secured permission torepair the hall
and by Annual 4th of July celebra-
lions and other entertainments earn
ed sufficient money, about seven hun
dred dollars, to repair the hall, build
a new stage, purchase Huiest seen
cry and curtain and NAVE very
comfortable and attractive hall and
the hall is certainly an honor to the
town, in fact, seldom is SO large and
attractive hall found in a town of
that size.
Street lamps have been added to
the village streets, sidewalks improv-
ed and a general tone of betterment
Is present throughout the village due
directly and indirectly to the efforts
of this society.
Posters are being placed along the
highways here about announcing
their annual celebration for the 4th
Of July this year, quite feature
of this celebration Is the decorated
teams, floats, ETC., which takes place
in the morning, considerable fun is
usually present, too, at their peg race
which follows the parade.
Thos who have eaten their % cent
chicken dinner wonder how 40 good
meal can be furnished at the price,
but as the farmers there about fur
nish the chickens gratis it's bargain
for those who get the dinner.
The afternoon sports this year are
given more consideration than for
merly-Elmer Coulter and Richard
Sheehan of this town are training
now to give an exhibition with gloves
and considerable interest here Is be-
ing worked up over the event.
The furnace ground has been sell
ected to bring off the sports, 1t con-
tains large pond upon which there
will take place tub race that will
be both novel and interesting, wheel
barrow, sack, foot an dother races
will also be held as we'll as a creased
pole and ever more amusing greas-
ed pig.
