Year.
If this Internal hot weather is still
on the job tomorrow, we know OF one
fellow who will stick close to pitch
er of lemonade, and let some one
else do the celebrating. In fact We
have used our brand for several years,
and find it an excellent substitute
for the real thing. But different
people have different ideas about
such matters, and it's well that they
have.
The other fellows will do things
differently, and will spend their time
at places and in ways that will afford
them the most pleasure. To crafty
the whims of such people our pleas
ure resort owners have fixed pro-
gram for tomorrow which will in
clude many features. Out in the
country, too, there will be something
bidding. At Trappe City the day
will be tittingly observed by carrying
out the following program: The
Rev. Meek will open the exercises and
watermelon with prayer, after which
four little girls will lisp, .Oh, say can
you see, by the dawn's," etc. Then
the small boy will hold session with
a stock of firecrackers, inGerspersed
with frequent trips to the lemonade
can. John Slipandfetchit will read
either "The Decoration of Indepen-
dance" or ''The Life of Carrie Ma
tion,' the choice to be selected by
those present. A quartette primed
with Brokaw pop will sing, ''My
country, It's of thee, Land where my
dollars flee" etc. The above men
toned John Slipandfetchit (he's a
leading light up there will make the
address of the day and we have had
the pleasure of glancing over his
copy, and must say that it is a mas
terpiece-a gem. 1t starts out with
"Feller citerzens'' and closes with
"Of The people, for tie people and by
the people," 1t will theE be time
to go home and milk the COWS, but in
the evening the loyal citizens of that
progressive, bustling place will re-
assemble to witness display of fire
works, which cost SOC.
Down at Rothschild park many
people will HE themselves, and If
we have made no mistake in judg-

busted that day. The company has
very elaborate program,
which will keep one busy if he wants
to see everything. Starting with
salute of guns in the morning and
closing with fireworks in the evening,
there will be aeroplane flights, sham
battle. dancing in the new pavilion,
rides on the whizzer and many other
features which is more fully told in
the company's ad, which appears in
this paper. We presume that the
flights by John Schwister and the
sham battle alone will be worth 60
ing distance to see. About i20
men will participate in the sham
battle. Many will go down to see the
new pavilion, if for nothing else.
For this kind of weather the park is J
a fine place to get fresh air. There
is nearly always a breeze blowing
along the river.
AT Riyerview park there win also |
be a crowd of people, and M. G. Thorn, !
the proprietor, has spared no pains
in getting up an elaborate program
in character, to please old |
and young. There will be dancing |
and many kinds of sports, with fire.

pole, creased pig, sack races and other
novelties will no doubt afford amuse-
ment.
The members of the NJ B. A. lodge |
will hold picnic on the fair grounds.
Here, those who like horse racing can |
find what suits them. Read the pro-
