MEXICO'S TWO
CELEBRATIONS
THE COMMUNITY PARTY SATUR-
DAY AND THE ELKs' CABA-
RET MONDAY.

The Fourth came on Sunday this
year and Mexico folks celebrated on
both the days before and aft.
The Community Party was held in
Hardin Park Saturday afternoon and
evening. Concerts by the Mexico
Band were feature. There was a
good attendance. 1t was given in the
interest of the Mexico Hospital, and
about $3.50 was raised for that insti-
tuition. Mrs. w. w. Bolts was chair
man on arrangements,an and she push
ed everything to success. The Odd
Fellows, M. w. A. and other orders
helped boost in substantial way.
There was an immense crowd at
the Elks' doings Monday night. The
cabaret was great. You ate and were
regaled with song, readings, piano Sc
lections, etc.
There was dancing and auctions,
etc. The bachelors, young and old,
each bought a baby-a doll, "life-
size" Ex-Mayor Potts and Bill Lee
were especially lucky in their pick of
the "kids."
Flags were displayed over town
and the boys-some of the big boys,
too,-shot firecrackers, almost the
live-long day, while their patriotism
oozed. And the Fourth is gone again,
allied with the misty azure of the
past.
