The spunky and growing little city of Walnut is going to celebrate the independence of July 4. The German citizens, of which the town has a large number, are going to turn out and help in the festivities. There will be dancing and feasting and general frolic in the make up of the days doings. Walnut will have a big crowd. – Telegraph (Walnut Bureau, Friday, June 23, 1893, p. 4)
