LYNDEN Gel ,EBRATES
IN PATRIOTIC WAY
OTHER CELEBR RATIONS

don't know but Lynden had tn,
best celebration of the National Birth
day in the county. In fact | think
it did.
The ~Lynden celebration was given
by the two Holland churches in Haw-
ley's park, and it was free to all
1t was sane celebration and a
patriotic celebration Firecrackers
and other explosives We're not allow
ed because the churches believe they
are dangerous and unpatriotic. There
was ball game and few other
innocent amusements, but the most
of the day was given to the program
of patriotic, recitations and songs.
At noon there was great family
feast under the trees of the park.
1t is needless to say that there were
no games to weedle away the money
of the simple. No money could be
spent on the grounds except for lee
cream, lemonade and such things.
and the profit from them went to-
the church societies.
There wasn't number on the
program but was deserving of espec-
ial commentator, but failing i'll
room for that the Tribune must men,
ton the address of N1r. re Selle which
it has heard complemented by many
who We're present as one of the
best orations ever given in Lynden.

the music, came in also for lots OF

| the business element of the town who
gave the celebration, not the saloons
--inspite of the fact that the saloons
prospered most by it. Here is how
the authorities handled the situation.
The mayor notified the saloonl keeper
that he would hold them responsible
for any rough business. Besides that
he instructed his special police to
arrest everyone who was at all in-
clined to talk or act rough. Tie
Fourth several rowdies started in to
act up, but they were pulled and
warned. From then on there was
no roughness. There was drunken
ness, and | am sorry to say, lots of
it, but the drunk people were your
neighbors and mine as we'll as Sumas.

frost from all reports brought to

do not mean young men-will not re-
ceive even the home doctors with
open arms.
Now we have nothing wonderful
out of the ordinary, to show you;
nothing, as has been said, which is
1.-The acme. the climax, the supremest
possibility in art or nature, of Devil
dering, Intoxicating, intolerable mag
nificence." You will have to go to
Laurel to find that. One thing which
makes Hattiesburg unique is its proud
possessorship of the one and only
mink farm, in charge of Captain Bell,
to whom | refer you for details. The
Captain is feeling a little sad today,
however, because of the escape last
night of two thousand minks through
knot hole in the fence; so if he is
not in the very best of humor every
minute during the twenty-four hours
you will know how to account for it.
The escape of these minks is not such
serious matter, although represent
ing in money about four thousand dol
lars, since they are raised so cheaply
The Captain feeds them on crawfish
and crawfish eat dirt.
During the progress of these three
days, as you go in and out OF tbs
various meeting places, and mingle
with our people, how are we to con
vince you that it is well you are
here? You may be of great service
by forgetting all that you have lef

thing past and future and living thes'

the purpose for which we meet. For
such Hattiesburg welcomes you into

would not expect to be better, or to
die, with so many doctors present?
| am reminded of how one of our
doctors was complimented. the other
day. Having received a hurry call
across the river to see very sick old
negro man, he took a fresh chew OF
tobacco and started on his way. Soon
after crossing the river bridge he was
met by a breathless, frightened little
negro boy, who said to him, you
need en- ter come now doctor, he's al
ridy daid." The trip was not alto
gether in vain, however, for soon al
ter turning around and starting back
to town, someone rushed out into the
road and called him to see a fussy
lady patient. AS he walked into the
room,the patient said to him-"O doc
tor, | was feeling so sick that | want
ed to die" The doctors reply was
you did exactly right madam, to cal
me in"
While Hattiesburg has been abund
