THE CELEBRATION
The plans of the various committes in charjre of
the celebration of the Fourth at this place are
coming along nicely and their expectations for the
biggest celebration ever held in this section will
be fully realized. It has been thoroughly adver
tised and the program that has been prepared for
the 2nd, 3rd and 4th cannot but meet with the
approval of all.
Mr. Hazen, Chairman of the Grounds Cox
mittee, has everything at Godfrey Park in the
best of shape. The bandstand, the money for the
building of which was donated by Chas. Muckle,
is completed, and will be there for? many a cele
bration, and for the band to "play in on Sunday
afternoon and evenings in the summer time. The
park has been cleaned up and everything done
that could help to make the exercises and the
dinner at that place enjoyable.
Mr. Morton, the financier for the occasion, has
delivered the goods in the form of the necessary
for the expenses. The St Helens band has been
engaged for the two days and will also play at the
ball game on Sunday.
There will be roast beef, bread and pickles for
all on the Fourth, which will be served on the
long tables at Godfrey Pork immediately after the
patriotic exercises in the morning.
Mr. La, Bare is the chairman of the committee
on decorations and music and has been on the job
this week. He is a member of the band and has
been with them in their practice, and has some
good schemes for the decoration of the grounds.
Hayes Estabrook has charge of the sports and
the program herewith shows that he has been a
busy man.
Mr. Laws, chairman of the whole bunch, has
been doing little else but work for the celebration,
and earnestly requests that everyone who has any
ideas that will help along come to him. That is
not a matter that shonld, in his opinion, be left
entirely to the committee, but they should receive
the help of everyone in town. If the finance
committee has slighted anyone and they desire to
make a contribution to the good cause it can be
mailed to or left at the Columbia County Bank.
