was had, however the consenses of
opinion seemed in favor OF celebrating.
This is another matter of Importance
coming up at the next meeting, next
Tuesday night.
A cracking good celebration is a
good thing for any town and is bene-
ficial to all but a halfway thing that
filckers out is damage as well as dis
grace to any town. Give the people
something for their money, show no
favoritism, conduct the affair on a
business basis and conduct contests on
the square, that is the secret Of cele-
bration which pleases all and leaves no
bad taste in the mouths of visitors
from outside points.
Here is list of the committee ap-
pointment. Good ones, all Of them.
