na tions birthday with appropriate exer cises while others prefer to wait until fall and then make two or three days of it at a street fair or other sort of enter tainment Tho peoplo in tho country surrounding Norfolk have como to look upon this city as their metropolis nnd from it as such they expect occasioual nmusoment features For several years past this city hasdouo nothing to Biipply this demand aud it certainly would not lose materially by doing something nlong that line Tho fall enteitainment sug gestion is a good ouo but if it is carried out preliminary stops should bo taken at onco nnd an entertainment provided that will bo satisfactory to thoso who may nttend give them the worth of their money nnd furnish an inducement to como to future entertniumouts Many of tho smnll towns surrounding Norfolk are preparing to observe tho Fourth and if Norfolk peoplo would turn out and help them to do eo they would feel the more inclined to partici pate in a fall festival here Such an entertainment should net cost a vast amount of money aud three days might profitably be observed Ono devoted say to speaking another to sports nnd one to music with band concerts or con tests ns a feature with fireworks each evening nnd the town decorated would make attractions which people could not afford to miss These aro merely sug gestions and others may have better ideas in regard to tho matter Usually in tho fall there is a lull in farm work when nearly everybody has some time and money which they can spare for enjoyment and it would bo quite the proper thing for Norfolk to meet these desires The News would bo pleased to have the matter discussed and will devote some space to short communica tions pertinent to the question Norfolk will probably be a great political center this fall and with the aid of a three days entertainment there should be no reason why it could not have the crowds that for years past have been going else where Congressman Snlzer one of New Yorks
