[THE 4TH AT WINFIELD CELEBRATION.]
Winfield Courier, July 10, 1874.
PROCESSION THREE MILES LONG.
Five Thousand People Join in the Celebration.
The 98th anniversary of the declaration of American indepen­dence was ushered in at Winfield with a round of 37 guns. A more beautiful morning never dawned on the day made immortal by the heroes, who, to achieve the independence of the thirteen colo­nies, pledged their “fortunes, their lives, and their sacred honor.” Before 10 o’clock the city was a perfect jam of people. But Chief Marshal Walker, with his corps of able assistants, soon had the mass in motion headed for the grove. The Winfield Silver Cornet Band, closely followed by the car of freedom, containing 37 beautiful young ladies, and drawn by four horses driven by Mr. N. Roberson, headed the procession. Arrived at the grove every­thing was found to be in first-class order.
Winfield Courier, August 14, 1874.
THE LARGEST stock of saddles ever brought to Cowley County, at Nate Roberson’s, cheap for cash.
Winfield Courier, September 4, 1874.

The squeal of the festive hog is heard almost any hour of the day as they are being weighed on the scales of Nate Roberson. We never before supposed there were so many hogs in the county as we have seen in the past two weeks.

Winfield Courier, October 7, 1875.
Read the new “ad” of N. Roberson. Mr. Roberson’s stock of harness, saddles, leather, mountings, etc., cannot be excelled anywhere in the West. He keeps the very best workmen, who can turn out a job equal to anything to be had this side of St. Louis.

I keep the Best Brands of Sole Leather, French and Domestic Calf, Kip and Upper Leather. Also Tappings, Linings, Thread, Pegs, Awls, Wax, etc., which I will sell at The Lowest Possible Price for cash. Country shoe­makers will find I can furnish them as cheap as they can get them from the East. Your patronage solicited.

Winfield Courier, February 10, 1876.
Tally one for “lo.” Civilization has made one step forward this centennial year. This morning we saw an Indian in his blanket sawing wood for a dime in the rear of Nate Roberson’s harness shop. And, shades of Euclid! we saw another blanketed, breech-clouted son of the plains sawing wood for our darkey barber. Uncle Sam has not spent millions of treasure to civilize the savage in vain. He has risen to the position of wood-sawyer for that important department of our Government, the Freedman’s Bureau.

As we go to press we learn that Tuesday night Nate Roberson’s stage barn was struck by lightning. Nine horses were killed and his barn, carriages, and coaches, worth in the aggregate probably twenty-five hundred dollars, were entirely consumed by the fire. This is a severe loss to a hard working citizen. Nate left yesterday for Eldorado, the scene of the accident. We will give full particulars next week.
