No Special Celebration at Reynoldsvllle, Yet Fire Crackers, Skyrockets ftc., k were In Evidence, Notwithstanding the fact that there was no special effort made to hold celebration at Roynoldsvllle July Fourth, yet there was a large number of people on the streets the preceding evening and forenoon of tbe Fourth, but the people were well scattered In the afternoon at family picnics, "neigh borhood" picnics and neighboring towns.

But whon the street is paved and kept clean the peoplo are invariably prompted by a deslro to beautify their property. Tbe lawns are clipped and other evidences of clvlo pride are apparent almost Immediately.')
