OUR FOURTH OF JULY.
Patriotic Welcome To Our Boys and
Girls.

Girls.
Yes, our Boys and Girls are send
ing in acceptances, and we hope a
large proportion of the more than
one hundred to whom invitations
were sent will be with us on the
Fourth. Our women are doing
everything they can to make this a
memorable day. Won't it be fine if
we can get better acquainted than
ever before, if we can get the real
community spirit and like the
ryhme then up and fling it," it will
be boomerang to each one of us,
as we'll as showing these, our guests,
what the occasion is planned for,
our appreciation of them and what
they did for us. Say, this time last
year, what wouldn't you have given
to them, when you felt in danger OF
the Hun? Isn't it good time now
to prove to them what you felt then
of their standing between you and
danger, by contributing and helping
in every way to make this a feast
and festival worthy of the cause.
Haven't you been asked for chicken,
meat, rolls, butter, cream, peas,
beans, beets, new potatoes, pickles,
preserves and cake? If not, sit was
an oversight on the part OF. the COM
mittees in charge for this Reception
and Dinner to our returned soldiers,
sailors and nurses belonging to the
9th District, of which you are
part, and it remains with you, each
one ofeyou, as to how royalty we do
this thing. So bring along your
contribution of food, the best you
have, and money to our Finance
Committee. 1t is hoped by those in
charge that every family in the Dis
trict will be represented by at least
one of it's members and as many
more as can possibly get there. Per-
haps you were out when your phone
rang, and its big thing to get
everybody in district over the
phone, SO this announcement means
all of you. Some of our new resi-
dents, our Virginia friends and
others not long here, whose names
we have not, but you belong to us
and we want you all to join in this
our big day. It's a fine time to get
acquainted with all the people in
the District, so come along and join
us.
Dinner served to our Boys and
Girls free; to all others soc for din
ner, including ice cream and cake.
Proceeds for Soldiers Memorial
when decision is made.
Its harvest time for our farmers,
but we hope you will all try to SO
arrange your work so you can have
part of the day with us. The
larger the harvest the greater your
cooperation should be to those to
whom we are indebted. When the
call came they left all and respond
ed. Shall we do less when we have
this opportunity to show our appre-
ciation?
And don't forget, every resident
can do little to help give the town
a gala look, by decorating or at
least unfurling Old Glory at his
home and letting the Stars and
Stripes float in the breeze.
You will enjoy the response to
toasts, Rev. w. G. Koons toastmas-
ter; singing of Camp Songs, stories
of varied experiences.

them.
Come one come all
The long, the short and small,
And to our boys a royal welcome
bring,
And make this feast fit for a King.
Each man find his own in all
mems good,
And all men work in noble broth
