Show I , The Celebration. H Though old HorcaH uiiecd mi objection H and sent :i lttrjje iiiMnHment of wind wo H , -had ii celebration in Lchi yesterday mid H -aired our patriotism which way wafted H to the hill causing them to echo with n H people's devotion and the town is all the H -quieter forth.- uproar. Early in the H , .morning the noise of guns began to H '; rend the air and diatuib the slumbers H . of the citizens Even the noisy Huorr H was prevented from pouting forth his H ... .nasal salute for deep was early banish- H i . i j -md from the town The boys were full H -of patriotic zeal and soon sallied forth H ' to storm the city with liieornckers and H i noise and were encouraged by tht pat- H riotfc music of the bauds. About the H time old Sol began to warm up to his H , . work tlio citizens ceased persueing sleep H ;got out and smiled the air of freedom H which came in gusts across the lake H rom the land of Goshen. Tien they H gathetod their families about them and H .sought the shade of Zimmerman'; or- H rchord where they proceeded to farther H iill up on patriotism as national songs H .and flights oi oratoiy proceeded from H .the platform until they felt like atand- H ,ing up and shouting 'or the glorious U . H .S. A. Tho program was a stirring oiih H Ls: mnd,the wav5.it was ably roudereaninde k.-.. JiL -wisljiPeoplo think that Olu GlQrv,floftt6oVflr LLw'r?'' w v .the best country that over was or ever Hf T i nvill be This was all light but the Kf .. inner man wanted something more LLW tr substantial and shortly new potatoes', Ht i green peas, etc. began to disappear in an Hf '' .alarming nianuer. But tlii ast a- H l mount of national enthusiasm had to LH't ' "" .be worked oll'somehow and as there were Hi no .British to light the committee allow- LH) ed them to meet peacefully and race it Hi -off and the way young and old sped LH over Mother Earth made even the wind H -breathe haul. The prizes they carried H v diome will be stored uwav in a national H , corner. Tiiose whose energies were H " ' not up to the running point wete batis- H tied to see the base-ball, horne racep, H oind bicycle races. But some went far- H .tlicr, going as far as Beck's but old Uor- H : j, .eas was on such a tear over there that H t-i.'r'i iic made things rather unpleasant. If H . . the wind would have been content to H V .blow a bald spot on the top of the Lake H mountains and not stir up the lower H regions so much it would have been a H giaciousact. Even all this did not cool H " the ardor of some of the young people H and they assembled in the dance at H i:,'. night to sweat it out. This finished H i -the job and today the town is as quiet H &( v -as u Quaker'd meeting. Some few who ,Si were not satisfied witli above course H . got wheels by imbibing too much bug H ''."' juico and shouted for their, country but H today they are in temporary retiiement H nursing a sore head bigger 'n a barrel.. H ' The committee will receive n good H '' ' .supply of thanks and glory for their ofll- H i," -cient work. If they would have shut H r r .oil' that gentle zephyr from Goshen H ' s .there would haye buou no kick but our H ." .sentitivo men were annoyed by it H v vwhistliug through their whihkere. H .;;, , Hurrah for the Fourth 1 W(e expect H to have another next year. H a The brass cannon from which the H .salutes were tired on tho Fourth was H made tit thu Sugar Co. 'a fchop by Messrs. H lugalls and Moore. This allows what H .can bo dor.o by our euginccrs and H -, ' r enterprisiug citizens, and reilects niuch '. credit on the manufacturers of this neat m pcice of ordnance. |
