- "The farmers of Pennsylvania are so much occupied on and about the 4th of July, that they cannot ... give to the national festival that attention which it may claim ... It has, therefore, become a custom ... for the good people to select some day near the close of July, in which to celebrate their nation's independence and their "harvest home."--P. 1.
