VISITORS FROM
FAR AND NEAR
Home Coming Proves a veritable
Love Feast, and Everybody Ex-
presses Complete Satisfaction.

This has been q gala week for Par
owan. Never before in the history of
the town has there been so much fun,

an idle or wasted hour Something

well lived up to. Those doubling

much" were certainly anything but
true prophets.

a list of the home-comers proper, so
far as they were registered. In adj
dition, Of course, there were all the
visitors from the county and other
nearby points who were attracted
by the amusements offered.
The festivities commenced last Sun
day with an interesting meeting in
the tabernacle. In the evening there
was an open air band concert on the
park, which was tastefully decorated
for this and other occasions during
the homecoming festivities. The
band, under the direction of Leon l..
Eckles, the new bandmaster, is do
ing excellent work and has added
much to the success of the whole
week, as well as the enjoyment of
this special occasion.
The Main street of town was NICE
ly decorated for the celebration, all
the telephone poles being wrapped
with flags and bunting, and large wei
come banners being displayed at the
principal approaches to the city and
across the principal business thor
oughfare.
