mILION NEWS.
All big days are apt to come to Milton
on Tuesday, and we cannot get the report
of its doings until the next week. Such
was the case on the last Fourth of July
and what we have to say must be said this
Week-or a week later. II has been said
il was very quiet on the Fourth. ~ Well
that depends from which point it is view
ed. Truly there was nothing very stirr-
ing in Milton on that day but it was far
from quiet. The competitive races at
Jester's Park, and on the lake were a
feature of the morning. There was Jolly
and excited mirth and pleasure galore.
Baseball in the afternoon, and the selling
of tags were all for the benefit of the VI.
E. Church Organ Fund, as were also the
exercises of the evening, which were held
on the church lawn, and consisted of
speeches etc, with the selling of refresh
ments, and other delicacies. About $40
was cleared. Now we don't think this
was very quiet affair to anyone who
was actively engaged in it.
