Let's Make the 4th Of July Celebration
Of the dwelling Of Canal Marker at
Four Mile Locks a Memorable Event

By the time these lines reach the
eve of the reader the plan of the
Fourth of July celebration will all be
set.
On Monday last the great boulder
which will crown the Canal marker
at the Four Mile Locks was hauled
TO the location by Phil Vogelmeier.
Previously the cement base had been
made by Mr.. C. D. Fleming and the
sand stone for the bodv of the shaft
lad been carried from the hartman
farm, where they had been given to
the committee, by the Southern Ohio
Public Service company and gratis.
On Tuesday morning the stone
masons reported in force to build the
shaft and set the boulder. The mark
er committee sent a representative,
last week, to Cincinnati where the
bronze plate was cast and reached
this city, on a hurry up order, in time
to be set in the boulder on the top.
The lettering on the panel is in re-
lief and records the two historic
events, the commencement of the
Ohio Canal and the placing of the
marker to show the passing of the
Gay century later.
Some delay was occasioned in the
work as all of the members of the
committee work at their own business
or for others for living and they
could devote but little of their
time to the work or securing the fl
nancial aid to make it a success. That
however has been nearly accomplish
ed though patriotic people should re-
member that they may yet offer help
and it will be appreciated. Thus far
they have been aided by the follow
ing named companies, firms, socie-
ties and individuals. The committee
desires to return their sincere thanks
to them.
