The celebration at Arthur has come and is all over the like was never surpassed in a town of our size. Even many days before every citizen was preparing rest rooms, eating places, and places of amusement for the crowd that we always have the pleasure of entertaining. There was some disappointment when the committee was informed that the merry-go-round man? I should not say man, as no man would do such a trick, he went to some other town instead of doing as he agreed to. However we had a fine celebration. The entertainment was opened with the salute of 80 guns and the anvil at sunrise and the next hour or two was spent in decorating of the streets and rest places. The ladies rest room being the best room that could be made. When all was ready the citizens were all aroused by the cheerful music that came from somewhere but most of us knew not the source, but on inquiry we found that it came from the Hunter band who were on their way to Casselton, where they were engaged for the day. We could not help but feel grateful for such a good and kind spirit shown. The brotherly feeling that prompts such actions is as good as any community could with for. At 9 a. m. the big event was on in full force and continued till the day was all over. The crowd was large and as orderly as any one could hope to see. The Arthur band furnished plenty of lively music all day. The street sports were well carried out all through the day. The two big ball games were well patronized, and the big dance was a good one and those who are troubled with corns were the greatest sufferers as the space on the big hall floor was all taken up with feet, both large and small, you could easy stand up, for you could not fall. The final supper furnished by the wives and sisters of the band bays was one of the greatest ever given, and represented hours of hard toil and worry, but these ladies do not know the word fail in anything. And all we can say of that great day, when all was quieted down, is how could it be that one feels so free in this little inland town.
