PRICE TWO CENTS INDICATIONS FOR BIG CELEBRATION Committee Making Preparation to Entertain One of Largest Crowds Ever In This City. GORGEOUS PARADE A FEATURE Hospitality Extended to Visitors In the Greeting Word, "Glad-U-Come." From all indications there is going to be one of the largest crowds in Seymour Monday and Tuesday that has visited this city for years.

Some are of the opinion that there is going to be a larger number of visitors here on the Fourth than formerly attended the Sixth of June celebrations, which were known all over southern Indiana and attended by thousands of people each year. The Jubilee committee is making final preparations for the big celebration, and as the time draws nearer the members of the committee feel assured that their time and efforts have been well given and that the big event will be a grand success. Several new attractions have been secured this week, and the program of the free entertainments will be one of the best ever presented in this city. The entertainments, for which an admission fee will be charged, have been highly recommended and the committee made a thorough investigation of each show before the final contracts were signed. Much interest is manifested in the News Newsboys' Band, which is in demand all over the state, and the committee feels that it was exceedingly fortunate in securing this feature for the celebration.

The parade will be one of the big features for Monday, and it is expected that it will be one of the most displays ever shown in this gorgeous section of the All the uniformed drill teams of the city will have their places in the line of march, and the decorations of the floats, automobiles and other vehicles will be magnificent.

Already many autoists have planned the decorations and will have their cars in the line of march. The celebration has been well advertised throughout southern Indiana, and the railroads are making preparations to handle large crowds of Seymour passengers. Special trains will be run from Bedford, over the.

Southern Indiana, and from Washington, over the B. 0. S-W. The trains will return after the close of the attractions, thus giving the excursionists the benefit of the entire day. Large crowds will also be carried over the interurban lines, and extra cars may be provided for the accommodation of the passengers.

The city will be decorated for the occasion, and many of the business houses and residences will have a large display of flags and bunting. Many of the merchants are preparing their show windows for the Fourth and arranging other decorations about their stores.
