Would it be possible to obtain from some
church a number of pews to be placed on the
schoolhouse common, and on the street leading
to the wharf for the two days celebration July
4th and 5th. l know of TO other one thing
that would be much appreciated by
strangers. If not possible to obtain pews
could not plank, raised SO as to form seat
be used?
! This is an anonymous note received at The
Journal office, and we learn that like missives
were received by others. Whether intended
as joke or not it contains good suggestion.
Taking the pews out of the churches is of
course out of the question: but it would be a
good plan to provide seats, as many of the
visitors would have no place where they could
sit and rest, and if seats were placed on the
common they would no doubt have occupants
during the entire day. The Improvement So
ciety has few seats for public use, but not
enough for such an occasion as the coming
celebration.
