The Nenana daily news., 1918-07-05

The fates were kind to Nenana- ties yesterday and the threatening storm clouds that held much promise in the way of spelling the sport and literally damping the ardour of the celebrants. were dispersed and the day broke fine and clear. The younger generation of Nenanaiites were among the first to greet the day as evidenced by frequent salvos of firecrackers let off in, various parts of town.
 In keeping with military and naval traditions, the Colors were hoisted on all of the flag poles in town, the highest staff in Nenana, which hap pens to be the one on the Coliseum building being chosen for the off clal ceremony of raising the colors. On this taff just below the United States ensign, Nenana's honor flac was bent and both were hoisted to- gether to the accompanient of the cheers of the assembled people.
 The festivities were commenced a, ten o'clock in the morning by the reading of the Declaration of Inde. pendence by Mrs. M. !. Cooney, who was very appropriately gowned as Columbia. The choice of Mrs Cooney was a very happy one, she being the very first lady of the new population of Nenana to settle here with the firm intent of staying here, when our present town hae hardly been dreamed of. She ha: { watched the town from the em bryonic to the present stage of it: growth and has taken an active part in it's development. Mrs Cooney's reading of the Declaration was very clear and distinct and tl,, story of the wrongs done the people by a tyranical ruler, eliminating ir the overthrow of that governmen and the formation of our unitct States was listened to with rapt ct tention, the speaker being cheereo by the large crowd assembled 6: she resumed her seat.
 MT. George w. Pennington, wht needs no introduction to Nenara;tes then made a speech in hls usua style. He touched on the war now raging and reminded the people tha' the principle we are now fight;ne for and for which we shall alway: continue to fight for had it's birtE on the Fourth of July 177c. with the removal of the unjust government and the adoption of the Declarati"r of Independence, which was rh, foundation on which our laws fol the government of the people ar, based.
 MT. Pennington was followed b, Robert Joseph Diven, always grea favorite with Nenanaites, then de livered very interesting nd appro priate speech which was we'll ,e ceived by the crowd, who, i'm mediately afterwards dispersed anc again gathred at the school ground to witness the ball game betwcel teams representing Nenana ed Co B., 14th Infantry. ! Before the immense crowd tn, Nenana ball team took the openin, game of the series from the boy of Co. "B", by the score of IA t, Z. After the first two innings, dur ing which time the Go.

a vote OF confidence in the recent congress
