The 4th of
July Celebration
Arrangements for the Fourth of July Celebration to be held
in Boone are being made as rapidly as possible, and, the weather being
favorable, we confidently expect the greatest gathering that ever assembled
here. This being the case, it behooves every family to prepare a basket of the
best food procurable, for, to feed such a multitude, is quite an undertaking,
even if the county is interested. The ladies composing the township committees,
are again reminded of the fact that it is a duty incumbent upon them to look
well after the baskets, as well as their quota of cash for incidental
expense—in fact, the more cash and dinner they raise, the more certain are we
all of the splendid success we expect. It goes without saying that Boone will
do her full share in entertaining her honored guests—the soldiery of three
wars, and it is the idea of all to crowd all the innocent pleasure possible not
that day for those who so richly deserve it, and any interruption will not be
tolerated. The utmost confidence is placed in the soldier that they will abstain
from drinking n that day—they could not afford to disgrace their uniforms, and
should any one else decide to “fill up on corn liquor” for the purpose of
making an exhibit of himself on that day, will be promptly attended to by the
town or county authorities. This is given out as a note of warning, and it is
earnestly hoped that not a single citizen of this county or other visitor, will
fall into the grasp of an officer on account of liquor. It is to be handled
roughly, no matter who the offender may be.
