WOOD LAKE CELEBRATION
Aii Account of the Time as Seen by a
Special Correaponilent
Old Sol appeared on time as usual
Saturday morning and cast his ray of
wormth and benevolence upon the
prepared grounds at Woodlake also
upon Mr Latta as he rammed home
the 13th charge for the village six
pounder and as the hair raising roar
broke through our sleep laden intellect
we realized that it was time that we
arose and with rackets grand vairate
proceed to celebrate July the fizz
-
- --
Eorth came the pilgrims from the
hills headed for Woodlake and a good
time and as the clock chimed ten be
hold our eyes jested upon 1000 souls
assembled and the end was not yet
The Ainsworth band arrived with a
numerous following about 10 a m
and were escorted to the grand bowel
by the Woodiake drum and fife corps
There the morning parade was soon
arranged and heralded by strains of
excellent music the car of liberty
bearing the state surrounded goddess
in white passed slowly up Main street
haltinsr before the prepared bower
Here some excellent musical selections
were rendered by the Ainsworth band
Repairing theri to the shady hall the
assembled hundreds were accorded a
hearty welcome by President C A
Barnes who then announced the morn
ting programme
After the noon repast the crowd re
paired to the village common to -witness
the field sports
the programme
Music by the Woodlake Glee Club
was well rendered as were the follow
ing selections of the Ainsworth band
and were received with thunderous
applause
Xext followed speeches by Charles
Eerguson and W Bailey of Woodlake
which were well delivered and re
ceived
On the introduction of J
JiMtBSwbaaj
greeted thegentleman was xcelleut
evidence of bis popularityand in the
very able oration with which Mr
JSeridey favored the multitude he did
both himself and the occasion full jus
tice forever winning the good will of
the Woodlake committee as the speech
was and has since been mentioned as
a source of great gratification to them

Woodlake did herself proud and as
a town for fun has won a place in the
