 Arrangements for Georgetown's Fourth of July celebration were com pleted on Friday evening and promise an observance rather bigger and bet ter than its predecessors. A special 1nvitatfon to attend is extended to all Bedding men who did service in the World War irrespective of whether they went across or got no further than the training camps. The pro- cession. to form about s:30 a. m., will be headed by the Radgefield Band,
 
 War veterans, the new veterans, Boy Scouts. school children. and citizens in decorated autos. The march will be sthroush the principal streets of the 'vtllage and thence to the ball park, uwhere a program of competitive ath- ietic events will take place. There will also be an oration by some speaker we'll known in public life. At noon tho affair will become a basket picnic. The principal afternoon event 1s to be a iri game between local hines. one representing the Swedish element of the community and the other the native stock. In the even Ang activities will be transferred to fhc assembly hxal of the new George flown school where the united local ichofrs are to give a concert supple sneneed by other interesting features suitable to the occasion.
 A settlement has been reached by George Howard and wife on one side and Sarah Buchanan on the other. of fhs etsctment suit brought for the lat ter's ousting from the former Schail place at Bedding Center and recent f 1y tried to no conclusion by reason Of the jury's disagreement The out como is virtually e victory for Mrs. Buchanan as by tbe terms of the compromise she obtains a six months 1ease of tho premises with privilege of six monthS renewal in case the H0wards. by reason of changed cir cumstances. do not wish to occupy l tho property. The lesseo gives se- 0urity to cowsr possible damages from her goats and rabbits or other causes. the amount of such damage to be fixed 6y arbitration. It Is un- dspstood that the costs of the suit amounttng to t43.6s. are to be shared squaf1y. Those costs. considered in- dfvidaaliy. arc not highly remunera- tive to the bsnsdeiariss. The jury men received S1 per day for each of their three dayS service and mileage allowance, one way. at the rate of 12 cents per mile. So that the George town member who drove over in his auto for three days leaving the at- fairs of the s6o,000 corporation of which he Is the managing head to, meanwhile struggle along as best fhsy might, reosfved the total muni- ho1Saf oompsnAafton of e3.60. The trial 5ustics fared better, getting 8 for the first day and s2 for each of the othAr two, It seems that when the legislature raised the pay of higher oou1t 5uyymen they overlooked the sad oass of the l0wly town court ] juror who is stiIi an appendage of an J era when . lone dollar was properly an object of high and wide respect, Should the menace of . sumRaons ! ts town jury duty become widespread [ and q frequent, affliotiou. however the rurai population may be depended upon to sss that the legislature does ths rtght thing in the matter, As for
