rade-Not Single Thing to Mar the
Show-Speeches by Number Of
Prominent Men-0ther Notes OF the
Affair.
The most unique display that the
people of this section have ever seen
was Deering Day celebration on
Tuesday. Nothing approaching it
had been anticipated and the crowds
were very highly pleased with the
surprise to which they were treated.
Everything went off without hitch
thanks to the efforts of those who
had the matter in charge and there
was not a single thing to regret when
the affair was over.
The weather was all right being
Just cool enough to make it pleasant.
The crowds were very large and the
interest was very great The dis
play of machinery in South Morgan
town was very attractive and elicit
ed many comments of admiration
from the hundreds of visitors who
examined it. This display had been
placed by the general Agent Mr..
Charles Steger and the local agent
L. W. Barker.
Nearly one hundred of the ma
chimes were on display and others
had to be left in the warehouse ow-
ing to the shortness Of the notice on
which the celebration had been ar
ranged. The decorations on the dis
play were very pretty and helped
the general appearance of it very
much.
Just before the parade formed the
crowd present was addressed by
Hon. Geo. c. Sturgiss, W. E. Glass
cock, Frank Cox, l. G. Lazzelle and
George C. Baker. Each of these
gentlemen congratulated the county
on the evidence of prosperity before
them in the number of machines
purchased and the farmers on the
fact that they were able to get the
very best afforded. The addresses
were listened to with deep attention
and were literally applauded.
The display was then photograph
ed and the parade formed. First
came the local agent I. W. Barker
accompanied by his wife. Next fol
lowed carriages containing the speak
ers and the editors of the Morgan
town papers followed by the Quaker
City Band on foot. A binder in OPP
Grafton followed by a six foot NOW
er came next Two hay rakes set
up formed the rear of this section of
of the parde.
Eighty three wagons with ma
chimes loaded in them followed and
brought up the rear of the procession.
The parade marched over into Nor
gantown being photographed at var
ious places along the route and
marc he'd to the head of Main street
where it countermarched and dis
banded in front of the court house
The streets were lined by two
thousand people who enjoyed the
display immensely. The decorations
were attractive and everything about
tho parade was just right. 1t re-
minded one of the old time thuses
that have been so familiar here.
After the parade the farmers were
entertained at dinner at the hotels
and more than one hundred of them
were dined at the expense of the
company. The band serenaded the
representative of the company and
it's patrons in front of the Wallace
House after dinner
The success of the day was due in
large measure to Mr.. L. w. Barker
who is the local agent. He looked
after every detail superintendent by
Mr.. Steger and spared no pains to
see that everything was all right.
Mr.. Barker is a grea6 hustler and
knows more people in this section
than any other man in it possibly.
The popularity and ability OF the
man can he seen from the number Of
machines that he has sold this sea
son.
Mr. Steger, the marshal, was as
sisted in the parade by Walter
HAYES and w. w. Denny. The
Deering plant is located at Chicago
and is one of the greatest industrial
plants of the United States. It Gov
ers 62 acres and employs 6,5ll men.
1t is the largest establishment of the
kind in the world. Fifty thousand
more machines were sold last year
