The following is the cxtrac: from
the Enterprise of 1889
We publish to-day the programme
of the order of parade by the Fire De
partment. on Tuesday next. to be fol.
lowed by the laying of the corner
stone of the new Masonic hall. The
committees in charge have done all in
their power to make the occasion q
memorable one and if our people enter
into the spirit of the undertaking, as
we have every reason to beliesye hey
will. success is assured. ItT st not
be forgotten that the day selected fot
this celebration is memorable one in
American history, being the anniver-
sary (the one hundreth) of the presi-
Dental inauguration Of the illustrious
Father of our grand country. and in
the orations of the day, this patriotic
event will receive due attention. 1t Is
gratifying to know that all of our mer'
chants will close their places Of busi-
ness during the parade and the speak
ing, thus being free with their clerks
to ioin in the festivities. The finan.
c,al success of the occasion is not the
least important, the proceeds being
destined to the purchase of new
hook and ladder truck, hence we hope
that the refreshment stands will bt
literally patronized and the bail, IL
the evening, largely attended. Many
tickets yet remain unsold in the rattle
of the beautiful pieces of silverwar'
donated for the benefit of the fund
and those who have not yet purchased
should do SO without further hesita
tion.
