Good Time for Everybody
Suggestions For The Parade
Elsewhere in these columns will lie
found an outline of the proposed his
torical feature of the Fourth of July
parade. The committee in charge is iu
need of a number of wagons with hay
racks to be decorated as floats. Those
willing to conlrhutt! to the success of
tliu parade in this way will kindly
notify some member of the committee.
It is hoped that the children both in
the city and throughout the county will
take places in this parade nnd parents
nre urged to encourage the children
and parents will confer a favor by
notifying some member of the com
mittee ot willingness to take part in
this patriotic duty. Surely the pro
gress of our 50 years of statehood is
entitled to nil wc can do in the way of
celebration.
Parents of small children need not be
in the least alarmed as to any danger
befalling their children ns strong men
will be assigned the duty of overseeing
any feature that might nave the slight
est element of danger.
The committee will need from 10 to
20 stout men to volunteer their ser
vices to accompany floats throughout
the parade.
With thn mmnnrt thnl this movement
should get this parade can be made the
greatest feature of the greatest celc-,
oration that Webster county has ever
known.
Owing to the limited finance which
can be devoted to tue parotic anil
owing to tho high cost of flags it is re
quested that each child, so far as
possible, bring his flag from home. 1
These flags will he returned to the
courtnouse aucr ine paraue wnere ne
can secure his own on indentification.
The parade is to start at and return to
the courthouse where parents of small
children will he able to find their child
ren at the close of the parade.
