Leesville Celebrates; Big
Crowd Enjoys July 4

With the first celebration of the
Fourth of July which has been held at
Leesville for a number of years, the
parish seat succeeded in drawing
large holiday crowd to partake of her
hospitality and enjoy her entertain
ment. One of the largest crows which
has been in Leesville for many day
found plenty to enjoy and went home
apparently satisfied.
The drawback of impossible roads
was to some extent mitigated by two
days of sunshine, a weather condition
almost unprecedented this year. The
roads were not. however, comparable
to French boulevards even at that, as
it was observed that five automobiles
were stuck on the main street at the
same time.
The barbecue with sandwiches prov
ed to be inadequate to serve the huge
crowd, but those who were fortunate to
be close enough to the lunch counter
had nothing to complain of. Those
who were off at some distance when
the dinner call was given, or those who
failed to be there right on time were
disappointed.
The broncho breaking did not seem
entirely satisfactory to the crowd The
concensus of opinion seemed to be that
the alleged bronchos had had much of
the fire of youth removed by previous
exhibitions. Even the reduced rate
made to riders failed to arouse en-
thusiasm. though it did bring the re-
quired $3.50 However. counter at
fractions proved superior to the occa-
sion, and the rider and horse did not
show up. The Wild West seemed to be
more west than wild.
The ball game which took place
right after the broncho breaking was
well worth the price of admission. The
enthusiastic Leesville rooters were CIV
en- all that they expected in the way
of a good game, and the score-2 to
lin favor Of LeesvilIe did their
hearts good, especially after the un-
fortunate game of Wednesday.
The lovers of the dance had their
desires satisfied at the dancing paviI-
ion. The dance continues during the
afternoon, and except for the heat and
the large crowd every one enjoyed
himself to the fullest.
This closed the first celebration that
Leesville has had for a number of
years. and every one is anxiously look
ing forward to the next Fourth with
the hope that Leesville will be able to
have even better time.
