Hkraui containing the Fourth of July ad
vertismeut to friends at his old home in

(bat this county was inhabited only by
cowboys and lndiant v
, The fire department of the city did a
graceful and obliging thing -and
onewhich we believe will teceive tincercst
proof of appreciation later on. They had
hirdd the opera house for the Fourth for
dancing; but the Fourth of July committee
being without a suitable place of reception
lor strangers expected that day and for
dancing in the evening, the department
graciously turned over the use of the opera
aouae 10 mem, saying tney would post
pone their ball to a later date. When
they do give it, they should receive the
best patronage the city can give and w.o
believe they will get it.
