BUT BUY WHERE OUR CELEBRATION Hundreds of Visit ors Join in the Festivities. SUPPER SERVED IN THE OPEN AIR. An Impres3lvo Farailo and a Magnificent Display of l'iro Works. Last Saturday, the day set for the celo bration of our county scat victory, was a galadavin Union. Friends from nil parts of the county kept pouring in during the day and at live o'clock it Is estimated that there woro about one thousand visitors present. An immense table, probably a hundred yards long, had been built along tho center of It street adjoining Nodlne's grove, tho umbrageous trees on either sido making a most pleasant and inviting spot. Upon this table was spread In profusion everything in the way of edibles that could tempt the hungry or tickle the palate of tho epicure. About 7 o'clock all were invited to tho table, and soon two long lines of happy men. women and children were discussing the viands and onlivr.uiug the time with pleasant conversation, witty repartee and merry laughter. Truly it was a pleasant sight to see, and we think will bo long remembered by the participants. After all had partaken of supper tho pro gramme commenced. Tho Union Silver Cornet Hand, which had been discoursing sweet strains of music, now marched to the court house, followed by tho vast throng. Here a pioeessiou was formed and marched down Main to A street, then down A to k'ecoud street, up Second to II street, then up H to tho Intersection of Main street. First came the cornet baud followed by tho most beautiful and attrac tive feature of tho procession about a dozen of the handsomest young ladles of Union, standing on Hall Hro's dray, which was beautifully decorated with the national colors. While the procession was moving along the young ladles sang several stir ring songs. Then came a large number of old pioneers, marching indoublo tile, and bearing aloft a banner upon which was inscribed, "We laid tho foundation of Un ion in lfl.'' After thoso rame u compa ny of younger men, headed by tho Irre pressible Ocorgo Newcomb, carrying a bannor Inscribed with the words. "Wo fought for you and cut the mustard in lfeOO." Following theso came a company of boys with a bannor upon which wore tho words, "We'll help you next time Union forever After those, marched a large number of citizens. When the procession stopped at the intersection of Main and It streets the young ladies In tho dray the center of attraction sang a song of welcome, prepared for the occasion, which contained so wl lilts which warn amtlnwinstloally received. The peiplu weie then addreuul by Mr. A. H. Fainn in a neat and appropriate 1 YOU CAN BUY the BEST and CHEAPEST. speech. Mr. Katon Js an orator of no mean ability and bis appropriate and eloquent words elicited rounds of applause. Short speeches were then 'made by H. S. Mc Comas, T. II. Crawford and others. Kdna Itemlllaid.a cute little girl aged about nine years, read a poem, entitled "A Welcome Greeting," which was written by Mr. U. C. Kinery for the occasion. The assembled multitude were then en tertained with music by the baud ami a magnificent display of fire works which lasted till late in tho evening. Most, of the older people then dispersed to their homes and the younger ones repaired to Wright's hall and passed the hours till early morn ing in dancing and social enjoyment. An idea of the nuinhiT attending the dunce may bo gained when we state that UVI per sons were engaged in dancing on the lloor of the pavilllon at one time. it was a matter of regret to our clti.eus (hat tho electric lights were not in opera tion on the evening of the celebration. Had it been one day later the streets of tho city would have been illuminated as bright as day with electricity, which would havo added much to the appearand) of things. Taken all in all, however, tho gathering was a very pleasant ono and wo doubt not was enjoyed by all our visitors. Letter List.
