Firefly Carnival Train Makes Fourth Of July Stop

Railroad notes say Fireman Carnival committee and Rock Island agent H W Russel arranged for the Firefly to stay in town until 10 p m on the Fourth before returning to Keota and Sigourney.

The 6 p m arrival becomes a 10 p m departure to accommodate Keota Harper and Sigourney travelers, inviting a full carnival day and Fourth celebration. A large Saturday crowd from those towns is expected due to no closer local celebration and good train service.
