Christmas day was quite lively in
town. In the morning "Old Santa"
made his appearance on the street,
heavy laden with baskets containing
nut and new pennies. On his way to
the Journal Store, where he had special
business, he was continually followed
and surrounded by the curious juven-
lies, whom he regaled from time to
time by scattering a handful Of his
gifts among them. He was closely ac-
companied by body guard, who kept
the most troublesome youngsters at
bay with the point of his sword. On his
arrival at No. 20 Penn street the dis
tribution of Mr.. B. .. Deininger's
gifts to the school children of town was
proceeded with, and the little ones de.
parted with happy hearts. Thus Christ
mas day was ushered in very appropri'
ately. About noon the town people
were reminded by the Ev. church bell,
that a first class meal could be had at
the festival of the Ev. ladies' Aid So
ciety. After dinner, when town was
well filled with people, a number or
young gentlemen got up parade with
tin horns, we presume for the sake OF
little noise. Later In the afternoon The
Millheim Cornet Band gave a street
concert on the Diamond. The festival
was again well patronized in the eve-
ming and everybody seemed in good
spirits over the pleasant Christmas day.
