THE LATE lIEY. HUNTER MID SUMMER HOLIDAY
Many Will Indulge in Recreation To-
morrow, independence
Day.

But little business will be trans
acted hereabouts tomorrow, July 4th.
Some stores will not open up and
others will bring their business to a

the population will take holiday, and
pass the day according to their sew
eral inclinations.
There will doubtless be more than
the usual number of private picnic
parties in this day of automobiles
and motorboats. These mo5ern
modes of transportation are showing
their effect on public excursion
steamers and trains. Family parties
will begin to pass down the river this
evening. while hundreds will follow
n their wake tomorrow morning.
Nearly all the motorboats owned
hereabouts will be in commission, ana
toward the close Of tomorrow the
river will be dotted with THESE cial'
returning to Alexandria and Wash
ington.
Large numbers of people will utl-
lie their autos to whisk family and
other private parties to rural retreats
where the day will be spent far from
the maGding crowd.
The stay-at-homes will indulge in
delicacies under their own vines ana
fig trees.
Many young people will play base
ball to their hearts content.
The city and government oihces
will be closed tomorrow and the post
office will observe Sunday hours.
