town has experienced in years was
that which took place Monday. Most

from the blowing of horns, and a
few noise-producing contrivances,
with the usual amount of fire crack
ers, the day was as still as Sunday
There were no races, ball games, etc.
in fact nothing to denote there
was national holiday on the calen
dar. There was a parade by the
juvenile element in the middle of the
day, which bespeaks much for the
enterprise of the youngsters.
