Glorious Fourth Quiet in Deming Overall
Fourth of July in Deming featured few celebrations beyond scattered firecrackers by youths.

The Mountain View rally, an Odd Fellows picnic at Warm Springs, and a schoolhouse dinner preceded Rev. Bryant’s Fourth of July address on the Declaration of Independence. Many Deming residents also visited El Paso and nearby cities during the two day holiday.
