4 splendid addresses in keeping with
the spirit of the day. AS soon as
The noon hour arrived the ladies
proceeded to get busy and spread
out splendid dinners under the
shade of the giant trees and they
do say that the appetites of all
were also in keeping with the day.
Lemonade was made by the barrel
and several of our handsome young
bachelors are said to be artists in
making that popular beverage.
After the dinner had been dis
posed of came the sports Of the
day which consisted of races of all
kinds and a ball game, one team
being headed by J. NJ. Churchill
and the other by James Patterson.
The game was an exciting one from
start to finish and was won by the
Churchill team to the tunee of
to 10 which was a much better
game than was played that day by
some Of the crack teams of the
country.
AS the afternoon waned the peo-
pie commenced to return to their
homes, and from four o'clock until
after dark vehicles were passing
through town filled with tired but
happy families. There was not a
single accident to mar the hap
piness Of the day and it is to the
creat of the residents Of the Die
trich tract that this community
was one of the very few in Lincoln
county to celebrate Independence
day in fitting manner.
1t is to be hoped that this will [
not be the last of this kind of
gatherings as it gives the people a
chance TO become better acquainted
and to meet on common plane
where good fellowship reigns su-
preme.
