HAINES ITEMS,
The Fourth of July, Independence Day, was fittingly celebrated
last Saturday in Haines by tug of war, baseball games, and foot
and sack races, which were hotly contested by those taking part.
The day was rounded out by dancing in the evening at the A. B.
and A. IT. B. Halls, where practically the entire population of Haines
and vicinity"tipped the fantastic toe”and made merry until mid
night. All and all, it was a "glorious Fourth" and will be long
remembered by those lucky enough to take part in the celebration.
