Rain Squelched the Fourth Parade in Monroe
The Glorious Fourth parade in Monroe was nearly washed out by heavy rain. Marshals kept vehicles moving, but most floats and bunting were soaked. Winners included fiddler Brownlow Traywick for ugliest, Chief Baker of Indian Trail for best fiddler, and Joe Haywood winning the banjo prize. Monroe beat Albemarle 3 to 1 in baseball as rain dampened crowds and activities.

A tale describes Sam Foss encountering a roadside dwelling offering refreshment and fruit to travelers. An elderly couple aim to do good, sharing a fountain and basket of fruit. Foss then recalls and writes the poem Let me live by the side of the road, praising friendly, steadfast humanity despite flaws. A final quip notes a cauliflower is a cabbage with a college education.
