Never in the history of Crossville
has there been such an outpouring of
the people of the county as now prom
Uses to be in the county seat JULY
FOURTH, to honor our national birth
day and our herioc soldier boys.
In our limited space it is impossible
for US to more than give faint idea
of what ia in store for the people, on
that day in the way of entertainments
Of various kinds.
Two of the most important things
that confronts those who are trying to
make the celebration a success are
Funds and eatables. 1t is hoped that
persons over the county who have
been designated as members of the
finance committee will get actively to
work in their respective neighborhoods
and secure as much assistance as pos
sibe. In the case of cash, it should
be reported promptly to j. S. Reed,
chairman of the france committee, to
tine end taht the vailable resources my
be known as early as possible. Report,
offers of beef, sheep, or fat hogs to
Jas. Smith.
On the question of things to eat it is
urged that as many persons as possible
from the country bring we'll filled bas-
kets of those good things that the la
dies of the county know so we'll how to
supply. The crowd present is ex-
pected to be by far the largest ever
seen in Crossville anc every one re-
allies it will be physical impossible.
ity to furnish free meals for all.
While all will be done possible it is
very necessary that the country folks
assist all possible.
Several farmers should give a beef
or sheep to help with the meat ue-
mand. Hon. e. W. Davenport, of
Garssy Cove, has stated that he ould
not only give beet but would give
cash as well, if necessary. No person
in the county is more strongly imbued
with the true fire of patriotism than
Mr.. Davenport, and if others do their
part as fully as he, we apprehend the
shortage of things to eat will be small
if all are not abundently supplied.
No celebration ever held in the coun-
ty called so loudly for the display of
real, unadulterated Americanism. such
as now does and always has lmbued
the men OF the mountains" as this
occasion. 1t Is not solely to celebrate
our national birthday, bat to show
their honor to those brave ones who
fought and died that the world
might be decent place in which |
20 live Nothing higher or nobler
could engage the attention of any
people. Cumberland County intends
% celebrate the day in a manner be-
itting the great day and cause for
which our beloved cnes labored so
'ravely ard sacrificed so much.
All soldiers are requested to come in
ervlce uniforms, as this uniform will
re your pass to all entertainments, IN
luding the movies. Parents of SOL
iers are earnestly requested to come
nd bring all the little ones that their
Dung lives may be av akened as never
