monument on the bluff in front Of
the residence Of r. O. Marsh. The
site commands beautiful view of the

attractions of our three day celebra-

town and country; it is thought at
least 100 could be got in line. II the
autos were filled with gaily dressed
children and young girls, they would
need no other decoration. A fine OPP
portunity to give children an auto
ride. who could have one at no other
time. Invite any auto into the parade.
