The Fourth of July, Something over an hundred years have passed since Washington de feated the Brfish in their liable for dominion over American soil. "Wo have only to refer to history and trace back what this country was at that period. It was wild and unsettled. The greate; portions of its vast territories had never been explored. Since 1 hat time the Indian has been driven from his native forest and chronology of science goes to prove what has tak en place; Where ihe red man chased the deer with bow and ar row, now brings forth vast acreages of wheat, corn and other grain; the school house and church now sits where he sat, around his camp-fire. Railroads are running through his native swamps, where he trapped the bear, the beaver, otter and oth er wild animal. Populated cities have been built where once 'he danced with his comrades around the stake that, bore the while man's scalp; large steamboats now plow his river and lakes. Even the Ar tie ocean has been explored to rain utireness; the wilds of Africa car ed for.

Her chains of bondage were resisted at the strenght of our forefathers’ life-blood—bravely they fought and proudly they won. From this grand valor of victory springs this memorable day— when Washington issued the declar alien of Independence—declaring all men were born free and equal Dynasties have risen and fell since that day, but the union of a free and happy people still remain's in- I tact.
