PEOPLE REJOICE
AT WARS END
All Lexington with Pealing Bells
and Parades, Celebrates the
Huns Surrender.


The people Of Lexington were
awakened about 3 o'clock Mon
day morning with the blowing
OF whistles and the ringing of
Is announcing the signing of
armistice and the defeat of
nan autocracy. Bells and
wins les assailed the heavens
with clamorous blare, and every
noise-making device joined in a
tumult Of sounds. Persons who
were sleeping peacefully before
the blue dawn of the day stir
red uneassily, sat up in bed, and
then realized what it all meant
There was no more sleep. The
event must be celebrated. Went
worth cadets were the first tC
parade. Headed by their banC
they made the rounds of town
and were greeted everywhere by
Joyous faces, and waving flags
The spirit was infectious and il
spread and spread.
1t was useless to attempt t
work. While the stores remained
open until noon, it was apparen
that everyone's thoughts wer,
Of something more soulful thai
the ordinary daily grind. A hol
iday was proclaimed and every
one was on the streets. TIL
crowd was immense-and tn
spontaneity Of the celebration
was not interrupted. Everyon
was permitted to carry on in
manner which most delighte
them. World wars don't end el
cry day, so the people made tn
most Of the opportunity.
