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

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.
