once more u citizens have celebrated
the anniversary of our independence and
with ideal weather and plenty Of enthu-
siasm we no doubt had the time OF our
lives, so to speak. Beginning at an early
hour the country around sent in about
all its populace until at ten o'clock the
streets were thronged with sight-seers.
The fantastic parade, which is always a
feature with us, was exceptionally fine
and consisted of almost every conceivable
makeup. With such notables as Geo. and
lady Washington, the subjects numbered
people in all walks of life down to and
including his Satanic majesty. After the
dispersion of the parade the people re-
paired to the beautiful grove where a
short address was made by Rev. r. j..
Montgomery. This was followed by a
spread on the many tables already pre-
pared that was most tempting to every
one present. There were twelve races of
various kinds next on the program, all
for prizes. At $3.50 the ball game drew a
large number OF fans to witness the home
team defeat the fast Tylersburg team to
the tune of IL TO 8. The merry-go-round,
cane racks, confetti distributors and the
ice cream stand all did their share towards
adding TO the comforts of tne throng.
Fireworks in the evening concluded the
program as scheduled by the committee.
A special train from Hastings brought
down a good crowd, while the regular
train did good service towards swelling
the throng. A dance in Andrews hall in
the evening was we'll attended, there
being upwards OF 60 couple present. Ar
lists Coulter, of Ridgway, and our w
John II. Brennan, were on the job all day
and secured good business.
On July 3D. our town was well repre-
scented at Msyhurg aud Tylersburg. The
ball team and the band were the whole
thing at Tylersburg, having defeated ev'
erything they tackled.
Forest county having been on the map
fifty years as a numbering center, one
would naturally form the opinion that
but very little timber is left to manufac-

Tuesday the Salmon Creek mill sawed a
poplar tree that cut over 1000 feet board
measure. There were several boards
over 80 inches wide in the butt log.
George Zuendel has secured the con-
tract to erect the new addition IN the
school building at a price of 81 $4,000.
The contract calls for the completion of
the job by August S0th, so we are not
going to be surprised any II we hear
George at his labors before and after reg
ular working hours.

family.

will be a large number present. No
doubt it will be a complete success.
As is usually the custom about this
time of the year, there were several we'd
dings since our last letter. They were:
Edward Kelly and Ida Sallsde; Harry
NJ. Wilson and Leila Fitzgerald; Guy M.
Hunter and Gertrude Skunk. The for
mer couple have returned from an ex-
tended eastern trip where they visited
Mr.. Kelly's parents. The latter couple
have gone to live in Mr.. WhitehilPs
house until fall.
Professor F. B. Robbins is also a newly
welded man, having been married in
jamestown about two weeks ago. Upon
their return they we're met at the train
by a lot of their friends, headed by the
band, who csc ,rted them very tenderly
to their home.
