rma +9 ts} pepe a aal —rss For Lea Sauce an © sections ta $ : ibe _ NUGGET FEATURES @0a 0GeSeus 0° & DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE @@@ 8% Bl alain NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA ---The Fourth of July will soon be here in all its promised blaze of glory and Mrs, Belle Douglass, who isthe prime mover in the idea for a ladies’ Fourth of July celebration, may feel justly proud of the culmination of her arduous labors and the loyal untiring support of her townspeople and friends. The festivities will begin the night of the third at 8:30 o'clock with the big lantern parade of 200 ladies arrayed in white and carrying lighted Japanese lanterns in all the varying tints and shades of the rainbow. The parade will be attended by the Queen City band and Boys Drum Corps. Electrical floats stationed at the corner of Main and Commercial in front of the Methodist Church and at the courthouse will form its objective points. The band will play patriotic airs toinspire marchers and spectators along the line of march. The historic float at Main and Commercial streets will depict an Indian tepee and campfire, with Harriet Giovannetti as Pocohontas; Sammy Smith as an Indian warrior, and Allan Redmayne as an Indian chief. Near the Methodist church Miss Minnie Smith as Betsy Ross will picture the making of the first American flag and here the band will render most appropriately, “The Star Spangled Banner, " and Mrs. J.C. Graffin will sing “Columbia”. Atthe courthouse will be seen the California float with Miss Lillian Pinch as Minerva, Misses Lenore Ashburn and Marie Derrig as floriculture and Vernon C, Organ typifying the mining industry. "The Star Spangled Banner," will be sung from the float by Mrs. A. W. Crase. The evening's entertainment will conclude with a dance on the open air platform on Commercial street, music for which will be furnished by the Queen City band. On the morning of the Fourth the rising sun will be greeted with the usual morning salute in charge of the morning salute committee, consisting of Mrs, William Holmes, Mrs, Hattie Legg and Mrs. A.J. Bovey. This will be the only time during the day when the large bombs will be in evidence as blank cartridges, cannon crackers, bombs and torpedoes and shooting canes are absolutely prohibited on the Third and Fourth. The small boy will have opportunity for cap pistols and fire crackers at any time except during and parades on the morning and afternoon of the Fourth. The morning parade will start promptly at 10:30, in three divisions under charge of Grand Marshal Miss Mamie Grimes and her chief aides and assistants, Misses ONeill, Starr, Cable and Mrs. J.C. Graffin. Much of the success of this morning parade is due to the untiring zeal of Miss May Martin who in addition to her arduous duties as Secretary of the committee of Fourth of July arrangements, is also chairman of the morning parade committee, Too much praise can not be given to Miss Martin and her corps, of indefatigible workers whohave secured the cooperation of so many societies of the sister city and of this city, and who have planned so many of the distinctive features of this parade, among them being the appearance in the parade of the historic flags of Company C and the place of honor given them, the Goddess float, on which Miss Vera Hopkins, one of Nevada City's fair daughters, will appear, and the "Seal of State” whichisa novel departure from the “state float” of previous years. Miss Frances Perry man will be seen on this float and will represent Minerva. The array of beautiful floats, decorated carriages and autos flanked by the patriotic groups of marchers will “tis said" bea sight both pleasing and imposing to even the most critical observer. FOURTH -OF JULY or any other day, man and beast must eat.

PROMISES BRATION IN HISTORY The exercises at the Nevada Theatre will next claim the attention and a program of unusual excellence is promised, Miss T. M. Kruger of Greenville will be one of the principal speakers at this time. During the afternoon there will not be a dull half hour for, beginning at 1:30 o'clock with races for boys and girls, the afternoon will pass all too soon with the various features of amusements planned. One of the chief attractions will be the flag raising at No. 1 firehouse. The flag raising ceremony will be a most interesting one and Mrs, C.W. Chapman's tribute to “Old Glory” should not be missed. The waterfight at the Plaza between two teams of ladies willbe a most unusual occurence, while if the baby and doll buggy parade is missed, one of the most pleasing features of the day will be overlooked. EDITOR'S NOTE: The Nugget's Fool's Gold columnist is a bit of a backward looking person. He failed to date this story June 4, 1912. This year, 1964, Nevada City's Fourth of July promises to be just as grand as the one 52 years ago. Aa Sacr ‘July Fourth : WHATS BETTER THAN A GLASS OF GOOD BEER ANOTHTR ONE, OF COURSD S.
