..... The glorious Fourth was celebrated in
this place in a right, good up-to-date man
ner Not torpedo, cannon cracker or five-
works were for sale in the place on account
of the dryness of the season, but the pro-
cession in the morning and the meeting of
the veterans in the afternoon, with the fine
music by the band, made up program that
will long be remembered. The procession
was led by E. G. Norton in carriage, fol-
lowed by the Eureka Cornet Band of twenty
pieces. They in turn were followed by
decorated carriage driven by Misses Geneva
Cram and Gladys Skidmore, dressed in
white; decorated float with Goddess of
Liberty and four attendants, Ella Greeley
as Columbia and Misses Stella Cram, Belle
Turner, Mildred Aver and Beatrice Ben
nett. This was beautiful tableau and
G. Norton's large wagon gaily decorated
and carrying Uncle Sam, impersonated
by Ross Berry, and thirteen girls, all in
white, waving flags and impersonating the
thirteen original States. Next was E. G.
Norton's new barge, drawn by four horses
and filled with young Americans making
lots of noise. This also was finely decorated.
The wagons we're followed by motley
crowd of fantasies in costumes of every
conceivable design and creating lots of mer-
riment along the line. 1t was pronounced
great success, and much credit is due the
band, who had the affair in charge. The
meeting of the Waldo County Veterans AS
ISOLATION at the church in the afternoon
will be reported in another column. After
the meeting the band gave concert at the
band stand, and sold ice cream, which was
literally patronized The day wound up
