COLEsBURG.

Tire was patriotic demonstration
on a large scale in the burg last Mon
day. the 18th inst, both day and night,
when it became known that hostilities
were at an end. The people were SUI
premely happy and the town was gay
with the national collors. One feature
of the morning celebration was the
parade of the school children with fly
ing banners. The big event Of the day
was the afternoon parade in which old
and young participated. We venture
to say that no community of like size
could make a better showing on such
short notice. There was no room left
to doubt that Colesburg and vicinity is
100 per cent simon pure American. Mu-
sic by the band and and occasional vol
leys Of shots added to the effect. The
grand finale in the evening included
some rarely fine speeches, more music
and more noise with a huge bonfire
and a fine display of fireworks. The
Kaiser and one of his siS gallant sons
met just fate at the hands of the cell
5ebrators. Those so inclined continued
the festivities at dance at the Bush
hall
