II he who makes two blades of grass
grow where one grew before is public

Big Wilson Parade.
Emmitsburg In Gala Attire.
Large { rOWd Present.

Large fOWU PRESENT.
On Tuesday evening of this week the
democrats of Emmitsburg, in honor of
the victory won at the recent election,
held jolification meeting and parade in
that town.
The evening being very beautiful one,
people for many miles went to Emmits-
burg and joined in the event.
The parade formed on the State road,
and at 7.3O o'clock the march over the
streets of the town began. First in the
procession came the chief marshall who
was followed by AZ horseback riders.
The Emmitt band of II pieces followed,
then came an automobile and this was
followed by 20 men on horses. Then fol-
lowed "the cart before the horse team,
and then nine other decorated teams. A
drum corps of drums and flies, the
Creagerstown band, Is decorated teams
and floats, 3 automobiles, 10 carriages
and number oflarge farm wagons made
up the remainder of the procession.
Notably conspicuous in the parade was
the team bearing the Goddess of Lib
erty', the character representing presl-
dent elect Wilson, the man in costume
pushing decorated baby carriage label
ed "the New Party, and the boat drawn
by number of little children.
Mr.. Rob't E. Creager of Thurmont,
with Messrs Stull, Root, Damuth and
Ed. Creeger, in his automobile were in
the parade and attracted much attention,
the auto being almost covered with large
chrysanthemums. Mr.. Creager gave
the flower to ladies' on the street after
the parade was over.
The town was decorated very pretty
with bunting and Japanese lanterns-the
Chronicle Office building presenting
fine appearance.
Other persons from Thurmont who wit
messed the parade and made the trip in
automobiles were DR.. and Mrs E. b.
Seton and daughter Elizabeth and Mr..
and Mrs. JAS H. Firor; Messrs Raymond
Creager and Chas Wisotzkey and Misses
Mary Freeze and Ruth Webster; Mr.. and
Mrs. Vincent O'Toole and family.
The boy driving the goat team in the
parade caused some excitement. The
goat being nicely decorated with tissue
paper wreaths and highly perfumed, got
balky and stopped. The boy having
lighted roman candle began to beat the
goat with it and set the trimmings on
fire. The goat was not injured.
Just to have little fun ahead of their
democratic friends, the republicans of
Emmitsburg paraded the streets Monday
night, the scene to represent going up
Salt river" They had no permit to be
on the street in parade. and on Tuesday
morning the bunch was pinched for the
sum of $l.OO, which was paid without
protest.
