Fourth of July. The main committee
was appointed and is composed of the
following hustlers: w. H. Virgins,
d. E. Bremsen and S. E. Goddard,

other committees they deem neces-

scheduled and although fair sized
crowd was in attendance, they did not
realize as much financially as they had
hoped for. They were unfortunate in
having a travelling show come in on
