MADISONVILLE WILL CELE-
BRATE.


with reference to the celebration of
the Glorious Fourth, in Madisonville,
has borne fruit, if one can judge by
superficial Indications. The occasion
has stirred up the patriotic fervor of
the people to such high pitch OF uni
ty and enthusiasm as has never been
known before. An elaborate pro-
gram is in process of completion, en-
bracing "a grand old-fashion barbecue.
horse racing, foot racing, boat rae
ing, dancing, a baseball game, public
speaking by gifted Fourth of July
orators, etc.
We can not say that the leading
citizens of the town are preparing to
make this the most memorable day
in Madisonville's history, but a day
that will long be remembered as the
greatest in the history of st. Tam
many parish and one which the en-
tire State will be proud of.
An Invitation.
Madisonville cordially invites the
citizens of St. Tammany and adjoin-
ing parishes to participate in her
Fourth of July festivities, assuring
them most hearty welcome to good
eats, good everything, and pro-
miscuous diversions. Bring the en-
tire family along, especially the kids,
so that in future years they will al
ways be happy to sit down by the old
family hearthstone and tell their
children that away back in the nine
teen hundreds, at Madisonville, on
the Tchefuncta river, we saw 4th
of July celebration that gave us a
new idea about the grandeur of our
country and the patriotism of her
citizens.
