Wants a Grand Celebration. Wheatfield Review. F. W. Powers, who has been spending the winter in Florida, in writing for a change of address of his Review, says he will arrive back to Lafayette about May Ist, and also says he is pleased to learn that the big dredge which is deepening and straitening the Kankakee river is working nicely, and he suggests that a grand celebration be held this “summer over the victory won after a ten years’ contest with the remonstrators of this great improvement, and he requests that a special invitation be extended, to W. E. Pinny, of Valparaiso, and John Brown, of Crown Point, to the feast, where the surrender might be complete and all former differences of opinion toward the improvement be forever submerged in the Kankakee river and covered up by the big dredge. Mr. Powers agrees to pay for the ice cream for the multitude of people who would attend a suitable celebration if the people of the Kankakee valley will do the rest. Why not call a meeting and appoint a committee of arrangements and make the gathering one long to be remembered. Come on in, the water is fine. Republican classified advertising seldom fails to bring results.
