Preparing for the Fourth.

Among the subjects discussed at q
meeting the Commercial Club, held
Wednesday evening, was the proper
celebration of the Fourth of July.
The national anniversary was to have
been observed 10 the usual patriotic
manue last year by the residents of
this vicinity but the damage caused
by the June floods interfered seriously
with the arrangements, and no public
celebration was held. 1t is proposed,
however, to make amends for this un-
%avoidable omission by having a gala
Fourth this year.
The celebration held in this city
two years ago was an exceptionally
enjoyable event. The contributions
to the expense fund where so generous
that after paying all the bills pre-
sented there was a balance of Sl36 in
the treasury, and this amount forms q
starter for the celebration of this
year. 90 motion of one of the mem
bers of the club, Chairman W. S.
Towner appointed Messrs. c. w.
Morrison. Geo. 81. Stevens and F. A.
Flanagan as a soliciting committee to
secure whatever fupds are necessary
for a rafting good celebration.
During q discussion regarding the
observance of Arbor day, it was de-
clared to be the desire of the meeting
that our town park system be i'm.
proved, and the municipal authorities
will be urged to give the matter pro.
per attention.
The Crepeau steamboat is an enter
prise in which the club exhibits a
lively interest, and it was decided to
take part in the launching and
christening of the craft, which will
take place at an early date. The boat
will be named the "Baby Rose,' that
name being the choice of its owner.

1t may be somewhat of q shock for

that is due to the extensive Irish pop
