THE BIG CELEBRA TION AT AVOCA WAS LARGELY ATTENDED Our neighbor village of Avoca held a celebration on Thursday evening-. July the busines men b"ii:g the "im n behind the gun,"' and it was held on that date in order to uo interfere with any other celebration on the Olorious Fourth. This reporter knew there was to be a grand good time, and manage, l to escape the watch ful eye of his physician and went to Avoca instead of remaining- at home on a sick-bed. making the trip with F. II. McCarthy in his auto, abnig with L. R. Upton and A. L. Anderson, and got there in lime to witness the opening of the program at S p. m. Arriving in the village we found that several hundred peo ple were already there and more pouring- into town from all direc tions, and rows of automobiles anchored on all the side streets. Y make the estimate that there was at Past ;i.iiiin people present, and of course the county candi dates in large numbers are in cluded in this estimate. The busi ness houses and many residences were appropriately decorated, and the good citiens gave all visitors to understand thai they were wel come. Promptly at the hour of S the sports were pulled, off on the street, and were very interesting and amusing, consisting of various games and contests for which prizes were awarded. Following- lie sport program Hon. Orlando 'IV in. chairman, mounted Urn steps of the town hail, and in his usual happy vein he in troduced the speaker of the evening-, (o'vernor John II. Morehead. The goM i norwas at his best and his voice was in good working order, and for more than an hour ho sp,,ke eloquently and discussed topics that were of interest to the I pie, dwelling- particularly upon the excellent advantages offered by the great stale of Nebraska l every class of people who are dis posed to grasp the opportunities tor bettering- their condition. It was an excellent address and free frnn partisan polities. The musical numbers were splendid, the oiees ringing- out el ,.r in perfect harmony that showed ex cellent talent, as well as careful preparation for the occasion. The committee had aNo looked after the instrumental music by having employed the Elnr.vood and Syra cuse bands, both being- on duty and giving nice concerts during the evening". A moving picture show was one of the free attrac tions, and late in the evening- a dance at the hall afforded amuse ment for "those who desired to participate. The only disagree able tiling- that occurred was a disturbance that arose at the hall, where some trouble arose that re sutled in a bit of bloodshed, but the management was in no way responsible fop that outbreak. Altogether it was a splendid celebration, well managed by the right kind of people who knew how and have the will to work for success, and we congratulate our sistep village upon the success of their efforts and thank the fit i .ens for the courtesy shown us while we were there.
