BIG BUNCH OF ATTRACTIONS

The 4th of July committee, especially Messrs. D. M. Warland and J. 11. S. Ellis, are wonting tooth and nail to make this year’s celebration an event long to be remembered in this vicini ty, and in addition to the Milroy monument unveiling, a large number of attractions have been secured which cannot help but please the public in their varied character. As none of the neighboring county seat towns are preparing to celebrate and, in fact, there w r ill be no celebration of consequence within twentyfive miles of us, there should be a very' large crowd here on that day. Musk: will be furnished by the j Boys’ Band, who will have their new uniforms by that time. The boys play r w'ell and in their new uniforms will make a nice ap-, pearance. There will be a prize of a sls i flag given- to the largest delega-! tion from any township; a $lO flag so the second largest. An automobile parade with prizes of S2O and $lO the best decorated autos. Aerial Acts by the Flying Baldwins. Street sports of various kinds with $45 in prizes. One hundred dollars worth of day fireworks.

Balloon Ascension and parachute drop. A ball game will be played at Riverside Park in the afternoon between a Winaamc team * and the Wrens. This game is independent of the ! celebration, and an admission'fee of 25 cents will be charged to cover the expense of the game by the baseball management. There will also be a merry-go-round on the corner south from the Makeever hotel, a platform dance on the east side of the public square, and numerous other attractions, so that there should not be a dull minute the day long. Everyone can find something to amuse or attract them all the time. . Much* credit is dde President Worland and J. H. S. Ellis for the number of attractions secured and the prospective huge success the celebration' will be.
