Our neighboring town of Bur-
ton was the only place in the
county that had a good old fash-
one^ fourth of July celebration.
About 1500 people from all seo-
,ions of the oounty attended the
oelebration and a glorious time
was had. Burton has for many
years made the fourth of July
;he chief day for the annual fes-
tivities of that community, and
among the many attractive fea-
tures of this celebration was a
contest among looal artists for
he best decorated buggy.
Prizes were offered, and there
were about a dozen most beauti-
fully decorated vehioles that did
great credit to the town, and, in
fact, would have been an attract-
ive show anywhere.
The first prize was awarded to
the carriage deoorated by Miss
Broesohe. It was in white and
blue and was a beauty.
The second prize was awarded
to Miss Cornelia Await, the same
being in red and very pretty.
The third prize was awarded to
Miss Kiel, the color being green,
and was a beauty to behold.
The carriage that carried the
queen and her escort was a most
beautiful combination of pink
and purple, and was the most
tasty and artistic vehicle of all,
but was not considered in the
contest.
Miss Louise Fischer, the beau-
tiful and acoomplished daughter
of Mr. Ed. Fischer, was the
queen of the day, and right
royally did she reign.
The parade arrived at the hall
about 12 o'clock, and after the
crowd had assembled, Mr. Alex.
Bauer orowned the queen in a
very appropriate address.
The reply of the Queen was
very choice and received a merit
ed applause.
After the orowning ceremonies
Mr. Henry Broesohe made a
short and appropriate address.
After dinner was over County
Attorney W. R. Ewing was oall-
ed on to address the crowd, but
feeling indisposed Hon. W. B.
Garrett took his place and Bpoke
for about three quarters of an
hour. The crowd seemed hungry
for a speeoh and it is useless to
say they were entertained to the
entire satisfaction of all assem-
bled. He shot forth the usual 4th
of July fireworks and after re-
fering to the present greatness
of this government warned the
citizenship and manhood of the
country against the present ten*
denoies of those in oharge of the
government to abandon the old
time government of the people,
by the people and for the people
and drift into one of power and
subjugation, a theory never
advocated by the founders. After
paying a beautiful tribute to the
womanhood of the land and coun-
seling the manhood that eternal
vigilenoe was the prioe of liberty,
he urged one and all in the dis-
charge of their duties as citi-
zens, to execute a freeman's
will as the lightening does the
will of Ood and that long might
they expect the old flag to be re*
spected as it kissed the gentle
breeze of every wind beneath the
heavens and continue to wave
over a free and happy people.
As the reporter left the great
orowd was still enjoying the day
and at night a grand ball was
the program.
This oelebration Thursday is
in keeping with the reoord of al-
ways doing the right thing in
the right way.

posed of his holdings near

THE FOURTH AT STORE.
The Creosote City Entertained Her Visi-
tors Royally.
The good old free state of
Burleson opened up its hospitable
heart on Thursday, and Somer-
ville gave one of the most suc-
cessful grand free barbecues ever
recorded in the annals of that
county. The tables were heavily
laden with barbecued meats of
all kinds, and was bountifully
supplied with breads, cakes, tea,
coffee, pickles, etc., and no one
within sight of the Creosote City
was allowed to remain hungry,
for everything was doubly free.
This was the first big barbeoue
in the history of that little city
and she fairly out did herself in
entertaining her visitors. The
Second Infantry band of this city
was engaged several days ago to
furnish the music for the occas
ion and began to discourse the
best strains early in the day, and
continued during the day to keep
every one in a good humor with
the choicest selections.
Very little was done during the
entire morning save to get ac
quainted with the crowd and ex
tend the hand of welcome. As
the trains began to arrive heavily
laden with human freight the
various plans of amusements
were placed in operation and the
fun began in earnest.
The signal for dinner was
sounded shortly after twelve
o'clock and the grand system of
satisfying four thousand human
appetites was thoroughly tested
and found to be equal to the ex-
pectations of the management.
No one was allowed to go hun*
gry and the members of the var*
ious committees were out search*
ing for hungry people and ready
to freely extend that good old
Texas hospitality that dwells in
Burleson county.
During the morning festivities
Hon. R. J. Alexander of Cald*
well delivered a choioe oration,
speaking at length upon the
glorious achievements of Amer*
ioan arms and American states*
men and dosing with a pretty
conception of those questions of
vital importance that oooupy the
minds of the general publio. At
two o'clook in the afternoon
John M. Mathis Esq., of this oity
was introduced and gave the
audienoe a half hour of witty re*
marks delivered in splendid
humor, closing his address with
a beautiful tribute to the found-
ers and makers of the American
union. He was followed by At*
torney King, of Navasota,| who
gave the immense orowd a half
hour of seleot oratory on inter*
•sting topics. The speaking of
the day was closed by an able,
though short address by Judge
Teague, whioh was also well de*
ivered and equally well received.
After the public speaking had
closed the next and one of the
most important parts of the pro-
gram—the game of base hall-
was ushered into action,|the con*
tending nines wcfre from Bren*
ham and Navasota and resulted

The oelebration of the day was
olosed by a grand ball at night
whioh was largely attended, and
danoing was indulged in until a
ate hour. All visitors pro-
nounce the town of 8omerville a
splendid hostess and will look
orward with anticipations of
Measures untold to her future
events.
The beautiful park and nata-
orium at Stone was the scene of
one of the most pleasant fourths
that was given in the county.
Col. A. W. Watson is a master of
easts and frolics and his prepar-
ations were completed several
days ago for Thursday's events.
While he did not make a pro-
grain with a band at the head,
still he had enough on hand to
teep every one awake and in a
good humor during the entire
day.
The basket dinner and family
barbecue was attended by a good
crowd from Brenham and every
one pronounced the bill of fare
most excellent. When it comes
to having a good time and a
good dinner, Stone is a standing
invitation. A great many went
out late in the evening and the
large pool was well filled with
the fishy inclined until a late
hour.
There is more catarrh in this section ol the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until tho last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For a great many years doo
tors pronouncod it a local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treitment, pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment
EUll's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the onl;
constitutional cure on the market. It

teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood
