The Laclede blade., 1912-06-21

Laclede is going to celebrate the
Fourth of July this year and you
will certainly have good time if
you come for, believe us, it is going
to be some celebration. There will
be lots of splendid music by the
popular Laclede Concert Band,
who will outdo all previous efforts,
having the added inspiration of
their brand-new uniforms. There
will be addresses by Hon. A. L.
Reeves, state insurance commits
sioner, and Hon. J, 81. Whitecot-
ton, candidate for congress from
this district and a former speaker
of the Missouri house of represent
atives, and probably others.
There will be a baseball game
between two of the best teams in
this part of the state and other
amusements of all kinds in pro-
fusion; plenty to eat and drink
(soft drinks, of course) and
mammoth display OF fireworks and
other attractions at night.
For the accommodation of those
living along the line of the K. G. a
special train will run to Hale and
Purdin in the morning and again
at night so that all may return
home after the fireworks. The
regular trains east and west will
permit return in those directions. |
The schedule of the excursion
trains will be given on the bills
which will be printed in day or
two, as soon as the program is
is completed.
At meeting of citizens one
night last week to discuss the
matter of celebrating, much en-
thusiasm was manifested and it
was decided to elect officers and
appoint committees. FL. L. Allen
