Paul Baumgartner of Decatur, spent Sunday and Monday here with has many friends who always welcome him. Dr. F ranz bought a team of snow white Arabian horses and is now proud because he drives the finest team in town. Berne in preparing for July 4th took in view the motto "What is w irth doing. :- w rth doing well.” and in fact none of the many visitors were heard to complain of lack of entertainment. The business parade ,in the forenoon would have given ! credit to a city, very nearly all business houses took part in it. The fire companies’ exercises surprised the crowd in their prcvnpt execution. The bicycle parade in which ninety -

i eight wheels took part was a perfect success. Untie Sam represented by ■ Otto Franz, dressed in stars and 'tripes with an old musket over his -boulder, and the ship under com mand of Joe Augsburger and Sam Craig made a splendid appearance. The balloon ascension by Mr. Reed was a perfect success, and pronounced bv older p” pie who had seen many before to have been as good as the last one. The parachute dropped on Mr. Hireheys farm south of town. The ( fast bicvele races attracted the crowd. The first prize was taken by Albert Kaufman of Berne, and the second by Harv .Da - : Salem I:.

The growing crops of weeds and gras* along our street* and byway* gives the town a very rural aspect, and that we are getting used to it shows that we are not hard to please, or a bit stuck up. The Hale elevator is preparing for a rush of business by having its engines overhauled and put in first class condition. This is Geneva’s most substatial enterprise anils always in it rain or shine. The stock of merchandise in Dan Del Is’ store damaged by smoke and water in a recent fire, is being invoiced this week, and a settlement with the insurance companies in regard| to losses will soon be made.

The aged and exerienced unite in saying that the demonstrations they had not seen surpassed. M ' exhibit the patrons say the sh< w was well worth the ten cents asked for admission.
