(From The Fairmont Times)
There were thousands OF dollars
worth OF explosives burned In Fair
mont on the Fourth OF July. In the
execution OF this rather strenuous
manner Of celebrating a holiday, sew
eral persons were seriously hurt;
many others were slightly burned and
scores Of others, mostly ladies' and
children, whe ventured on the streets,
were badly treated by ruffians who
seemed to delight In throwing expo
siyes dangerously near to pedestrians.
II seems to us that for a like sum
Of money Fairmont could have been
far more patriotic and much more
sane.
Our suggestion Is, and we believe Il
to be good one, that the city officials
place a ban on explosives on the
holidays OF the future and begin now
to plan monster Fourth OF July eel.
