Where are the croakers of "a dry sea

cultivating corn but how the weeds

came up good, a good many had to

stand of corn in this part of the
county. Small grain looks well, and
many are mousing because they sewed
none. Potatoes are coming on well,
some having them large enough t
eat. Cattle look well as pastures are
extra good, but the general complaint j
is "my horses look hard.

On thb our natal holiday.
Let naming rockets rise and shine,
I.ne, for our country, all entwine.
The senti'uent expressed in the
line above were fully realized in our
city on the 4th. The eagle soared,
the flags unfurled lazily in the breez
es, joy was ia the ascendency, free
dom at its fullness, the flaming rock
ets sailed through the air, and love
for our country was depicted on every
countenance, the ears rattled over the
stony street and everything passed off
as serenely as could have been antici
pated by the most fastidious. Early
in the morning the booming of J. C.
Kennedy's piece of artillery, notified
the sleeping citizens that our natal
day had been ushered in, and thirty
minutes later the do"s of war seemed
j to tave Dcen ',et 003e f one might
juage from. the fnailade of firearms
and the innocent little fire cracker.
At about 8 o'clock the highways lead
ing the city were being traversed by
hnndreds of vehicles coming to Red
Cloud to celebrate, until several
thousand people were present by the
time the fireworks took place in the
evening. The program was carried
out in full: At nine o'clock, a. m.
the procession formed on Webster
street between 3rd and 4th ave., head
ed by Mayor Holland and speaker of
the day Hon. D. E. Ainsworth, of
Albany, N. Y., followed by the band
and representation of states and tcrri
torities, trades display and Charley
Chase's calithumpians, a most sable
band evidently just from the "rural
deestricks." The column moved to
9th avenue, thence to Seward street
and back to place of starting. The
representation of states was a most
novel and interesting feature and en
tirely new from the routine 4th of
July displays. After the procession
come the oration of Hon. D. E. Ains
worth, at the court house, and right
here we must say, aside from all flat
tery that it was one of the most
brilliant orations that our people have
had the pleasure of listening to for
many years. He is a forcible, logical
and interesting orator, with that mus
ical voice that closely rivets the at
tention of his hearers. Our people
were fortunate in securing Mr. Ains
worth for this occasion. The greas
ed pole, the pig race and numerous
other amusements were indulged in
to make the day pleasant and produc
tive. Almost every building in the
city was decorated with stars and
stripes. The flag was awarded to
Highland township. Smith county,
Kaeas
In the evening the fire
works drew a large crowd and to say
that they were fine is putting the
matter lightly. To wind up without
making special mention of the sing
ing and the Y. 31. C. A. double male
quartette would be manifestly unjust
to the best feature of the day's pro
gram. The singing was fine and en
joyed by everyono and the quartette
did themselves great credit. Upon
the whole, the 4th was a grand suc
cess and every one felt that Red
Cloud had entertained them royally.
This closes another 4th of July.
