DECORATE THE TOWN
ON FRIDAY
Citizens are asked to assist in one
thing in connection with the 12th of
July celebrations on Friday, that will
mean much to the impression made
on the visitors—Decorations. It is a
foregone • conclusion that Josephine
street will have a profusion of ever-
gieens, bunting mid flags, and quite
likely arches. But to the ordinary citi-
zen on the other streets, yoar home
and labour will be observed just as
much as the stbres • on Josephine
street, so why not get up a few flags
or drape some bunting. Especially is
this applicable to the homes on the
route of march, which is as follows:—
Leaving the park, the procession pre-
ceeds up Albert street to Francis, and
south to Diagonal Road, along this
to Victoria street, then to Josephine,
and to the Park
Wingham has an opportunity of
making a most favoi-able impression
on some thousands of visitors, and if
you can say it with bunting, flags or
flowers, make a showing that Means
a real welcome.
