According to all indications,
Pierz will have a 4th of July
celebration, and a good on-- at
that. We were a little late in
starting- but what was lost by
delay can easily be made up by
a spurt of speed in the finish-
A committee made a :auvass

village a few days ago and succeeded in getting- promises of j
funds sufficient for a ball game
a fireman's parade and possibly
fireworks in the evening. The
band is keeping in practice and
will probably head the   parade.
The program, which is not
yet definitely planned will appear in the Journal next week
or .lie week* after.
