The movement to have a Fourth
of July celebration on a good-sized
scale should meet the approval of
every citizen, and the funds to meet
the expenses should be planked
down without a murmur. Of all
the great days of the year, the
Fourth of July is the greatest, and
to let the day pass without a proper
celebration would be an almost in
excusable lack of patriotism.
Whether the celebration is und&r
the auspices of a civic society or a
committee of citizens matters not
so long as the people of town help
push the matter along. The re
publican congressional convention
is held in this city July 3d, and it
is likely a number of those in at
tendance will remain over the 4th if
we have some inducement to offer
them in the way of a celebration.

It is only once in two or three
years that the people of North

At the Presbyterian
congrega.-
tional meeting Wednesday evening
a motion to extend a call to Rev.
Bailey, of Broken Bow, was carried
but an effort to make the vote unan
imous failed. This call cannot,
we understand, be issued until an
other meeting is held fixing the
salary at such an amount as the
church is able to pa'. The salary
proposition submitted by Rev.
Bailey was S83.33 per month for
the first six months and $100 per
month thereafter. This includes
the free use of the parsonage.
A prominent worker in the church
informs us that it is questionable
if subscriptions equaling this
amount can be secured, and
also
that it is doubtful if Rev. Bailev
will accept a call which is not'ex
tended by the unanimous consent
of the people of the church.
