Great credit is due Dr. Jamison for making the celebration on the Fourth such a grand success. Not every professional man would give the time and money he did to make a fine show for other people free of charge. Therefore we will, through the GAZETTE, give the doctor a vote of thanks and vote him the leading man on entertainments, enterprise and success. People from Chicago, Waukegan, Lake Villa, Wadsworth and all the surrounding country were in attendance and all pronounced it fine. The ladies sold all their ice cream, lemonade, etc., and could have sold a great deal more. E. Payson Dodge, Wm. Rose and R. A. Martin made the display assisted by the doctor. When the "revolving sun" was displayed at the last we thought it must be the Chinese War.
