We would suggest that a large number of people from Rensselaer should come to Fair Oaks to celebrate the Fourth this year as being as they are not going to observe the j day themselves. Last year a large nnmber from here, in fact every one [ who went away from home to spend the day, attended the celebration at Rensselaer. We are making great preparations to please the people, both in the way of attractions and accemmodations. So come and bring your families or your best girl and stay all day and enjoy yourselves. Turn about is fair play every time.
