HOW WE WILL CELEBRATE
<<COMETHING for the folks who stay at home”,
will be the keynote of Gold Hill’s observation of
the Glorious Fourth; for it is with this purpose in view
that a decision to celebrate in modest fashion has been
reached.
Over $200 has been suhecribed for the purpose of
constructing a permanent dancing pavilion, to be owned
by the band, upon the railroad land south of the tracks.
The big outdoor hall will receive it# initiation on the
national holiday.
A brief program of sports and contest will be pre­
pared, together with other attractions, and liberal purses
awarded for these. The home folks will take a “day off”
and spend it happily and comfortably at home—minus
crowds, accidents, cannon crackers, and fakirs. Country
folks have promised to come in and “picnic” under the
cool green of the shade trees.
