 Another big holiday gone by leaving pleasant memories behind it. Most holidays should do this, but some of them don't. This Fourth certainly was | one that can be remembered pleasant | IhOu6h. hC uSiy W eio siAA CACCIlChI one. fireworks were permitted to be i used, there was plenty of amusement. | All in all there was everything that | made for an enjoyable Fourth of July. | There was not so much doing in the | line of noise on the night before this l Fourth as there was in some other | years. After twelve o'clock Sunday night the little noise there was les sened, when in all expectation it was to begin, and from then till sunrise it was rather quiet. But on the after noon of the fourth there was noise making aplenty. Ask anyone who happened to be in the Chautauqua tent trying to hear the opening lec- ture. It seemed as though the cele- orators were trying to make up for their failure to make any disturbance on the night before. All through the ball game "cannons" and cartridges and crackers exploded necessarily and left tingling in the ears for the rest of the day. In the evening there was more noise and individual fire works. There was also good time at Crystal Lake during the afternoon and evening, where there was dancing, both old-fashioned and new On the whole the Fourth was such that it took pretty good excuse to get out or having good time.
