The Democratic Herald – July 2, 1864

Fourth of July Ball – There will be quite a number of balls in the country on the Fourth. Out in Key West, in the house of John Carson, there will be a ball that evening with the best of music and an excellent supper. Ben Crosley, at the Seven Mile House, will give a dance. There will be a picnic at Peter Fries and a regular celebration at Phil McCaffry’s. Here is a chance to choose a number of routes for a day’s pleasure.
