community were somewhat disappoint

little town by the 4th of July, the
extensive preparations made there for
the celebration were carried out as
much as possible according to the
original plan. For years Buxton has
been celebrating and the Buxton
people would not enjoy themselves
unless they celebrated at home.
The celebration yesterday was the
most successful of any. An interesting
