Two Notable Fourth of July Celebrations

Dixon and Polo each had mammoth Fourth Of
July celebration. Dixon saloons contributed the
usual amount of drunkenness and the usual disgust
ing accompaniment of celebration in wet town.
Dixon liquor dealers claim that there were 10000 peo
pie there on the 5th and asserted that, as a result
there is in circulation among the business men of
Dixon about $6o,ooo AS a result of the celebration
they also that such affair could have been
pulled off" without saloons.
The Polo celebration however, demonstrates the
untruthulness of this assertion. The Polo affair was
much the larger and Polo people claim that the town
is $4,000 richer result of the merry-making Not
only SO, but the Polo crowd sober and we'll be-
haved and went away with clear heads and glad
hearts.
