JULY FOURTH
in EKALAKA

Ekalaka people are navlng q
chance to see Halley's comet
these days. This visitor only
drops around to see us once in
every Is years and not having
seen him more than ten times
'ye scribe, as we'll as others is
taking it all in. The event of
the coming and going of the
comet is watched with interest
and draws nearly as much at
tention as the big celebration
that is going to be held in old
"pup-town' on July 4th and 9Th
of this year. To see the equal
of this blowout you will have to
wait until the "snext comet hits.
The p,ogram committee has
not had time to get a good nights
sleep since the proposition was
first sprung and they don't in
tend to let up until they are con-
vinced that they have arranged
the biggest and best program in
the history Of Ekalaka. More
different events will be pulled
off this year than ever before
and everybody is lending a hand
to see that all visitors are we'll
taken care OF. The band VIII
furnish the music and help stir
things hp, the cow punchers and
broncho riders will be Johnny
on the spot, the ball team will
get busy, the horse races will be
the best ever and the town doors
will be thrown open. One feat
ure that was thought to have
been settled last year but will be
repeated this year for arguments
sake, is the wood saving contest
between Judge Thomas Jefferson
Martin and Artie Ernest Big
Kid Dague. The Judge believes
he got "f1im-fammed" last year
and is willing to demonstrate his
speed on the saw-buck by going
it again this year withss the Kid.
Several roping contests will be
held, an autombile race is con-
templated, a wrestling match
will be held and numerous other
stunts. If you ever in your whole
life wanted to have good time

When the subject Of writing such

A number OF his friends, however.

the coloners mind OF his fear, AMI
they have declared that his expert
ences were such that the history ~ the
late trouble between the North and
South would be incomplete without
the Mostly publication. Now comes
an offer running well into the thous-
andg from the New York concern
that wishes TO publish the book. II

Colonel Mosby is making no effort
to gain reinstatement at the Depart
