The amusement committee has about completed arrangements to have an automobile here on the Fourth. They are striving royally to have everything that is new, novel an a s’ g. The latest add.tioi to the programme is a new one. sure, a Shute Shooting Contest, the details of which will be published later. The prospects of a good ball game are fine.

This suggestion has been very well received, and will be quite an innovation, if carried oul. The fantastic feature of the parade promises to be something out of the ordinary, one of the participants is having a mephistopheiian costume made and will have a half dozen “rings of darkness” in bis train. Interest in the floral parade is growing. The committee has had a number of inquiries about the details, and when the prizes for this event is announced doubtless the entries will be greatly swelled. The invitation committe has been sending out invitations galore. They say they expect no declinations, and it is to be hoped that few such are re ceived. Tbecounty candidates are sharpen ing op their saws, and all the local ones say that they will be on the political wood-pile bright and early. Another feature that is often in quired about is the barbecue. We are iu a position to assure the “bar becue friends,” and they are legion, that they are to have their hearts desire. Mr. A. B. Gaines, the popular chief marshal and master of ceremo nies, will, in a few days, map out the line of march, when it will be pub lished. And it is to be hoped that the citizens along the line will de corate their stores and bouses. A few buntings help the cause. They brighten things up, make one feel glad and ■tir up the latent enthusiasm in every breast. Remember the meeting this evening at 7 p. m., at the mayor’s office. Come out every ooe that can. Maybe you can suggest something that no | one has yet thought of, and that is what we should all strive to do, "dig up” something new and amusing. Always keep in mind the fact that you are going to have "your uncles, your cousins and your aunts” here on the glorious Fourth and are bound to •ee that they enjoy themselves folly. Come ahead, give the committee the benefit of your ideas. Don’t forget the hour. Tmtrhen Al.ct.ii.
