is Amasa in The United states7

Amasa. notorious as the only dry town
in Iron county. celebrated the glorious
Fourth of July in manner peculiarly
fitting TOR community enjoying its
state OF innocuous desuetude, The fes-
tivities began an at early hour by the
departure of all the motor vehicles OF
which the town boasts, each one being
loaded to capacity by loyal citizens
mainly Township officials bent on
spending the day at Iron River where
the Curtis bi-plane did NOT make a
flight and where several other things
did not occur.
While the last automobile was dis.
appearing in cloud of dust the North
Western line, contrary TO reputation,
but not TO be disgraced on our Coun-
try's natal day announced. by num-
erous terrific blasts OF steam boat
siren IN lieu OF the every day whistle,
the arrival of the Special Excur.
sion" train also headed Iron River
wards The entire remaining popula-
tion of the town was gathered on the
depot platform and in its immediate
vicinity. with the exception of a very
few who had been unable to beg.
borrow or steal the eighty cents which
false rumor whispered would purchase
a return trip ticket. But. sad to relate
when the City Marshall was finally
impressed into service TO go and wake
mp the agent il was found that the
return trip was SIZE. or regular fare.
Ii has been ascertained that this fact
thinned out the ranks of would be ex-
cursionists appreciably.
When the train pulled out. the
conductor finally deciding that il was
useless to wait longer trying TO fill up
the entire nine passenger coaches, and
the echoes of the departing siren had
died away, Amasa was as noisy as a
graveyard at midnight. Not even the
explosion of a torpedo disturbed the
peaceful calm OF the early morning as
a herd of cattle took undisputed pos
session Of the main street and disposed |
themselves comfortably on the side |
walks in the shade of the adjacent
buildings An eye witness informs
your correspondent that the only move
ment made by the sleepy bovines was
upon the approach of a local>physician
who did not fall for the Iron River
fake and that the movement con.
sisted entirely in their keeping their /
heads turned in his general direction
