FOURTH OF JULY NOTES

VI o. AAo shhN NA|
was awarded the first prize in the CALI
thumpian line. Dell Woodhouse and
Len Clark represented "Pa" and "Ma"
and "Me" was wheeled around in a
baby carriage in the person of George
Luell Jr. The entire outfit was plas-
tered over with advertising placards
They helped to entertain the crowd
during the forenoon.
Everybody had an opportunity to
dance and some kept it up till broad
daylight Wednesday morning, the rain
keeping them from going home. Three
dances were patronized by good sized
crowds. At Worden's opera house the
Alden Orchestra from Bruce furnished
the music; the Ideal Orchestra played
at the 24-Club hall and at the new Lin
doc building the Swancut Orchestra.
The drum corps was composed of
Lit Sherman of CABOT and E. w. But
Ter of Ladysmith, fifers; W. F. Barton
of EauClaire, w. S. Jones and A. A.
Hadden of Ladysmith, snare drums;
Marshall Sergeant of Ladysmith, bass
drum. To large part of the crowd
the drum corps was the biggest at
traction on the grounds.
The wisdom of dispensing with
ball game on the Fourth was demon
strated in this celebration. There are
forty reasons for giving up the ball
game, and the only one in favor of it
makes a good filler if there is not
enough of a program to fill out the
day.
The rain that fell Tuesday morning
was more appreciated by some of the
celebrators than all the rest of the pro-
gram combined. Farmers felt more
like celebrating with a good crop in
sight.
Ladysmith celebrators ought to have
kept cool the Fourth-21 ten-gallon
freezers of ice cream were shipped in
Monday, besides the large amount
manufactured here.
The Ladysmith Brass Band made
good in every particular and wishes
were heard on every hand for the per-
petuation of the organization.
Most of our merchants closed their
stores at noon and together with their
clerks mingled with the crowds enjoy
ing the program of the day.
The Paper mill shut down from Sat-
urday night to Wednesday morning, so
that all employees had plenty of time
to celebrate.
