Tuesday, Nov. IL it was arranged
that the school children from Albany,
Irasburg and this place should be
taken by autos to Newport to join in
the parade there which was to cele-
brate the closing of the war. Nearly
60 cars formed in a line and made
their way to Newport. It certainly
was a sight worth seeing. The cars
were not all filled with children, how
ever. But they had first chance and
their elders. Leland Hermon of
Newport came with his truck, which
took the village school children. In
the evening there was celebration
here. A big bonfire was built on the
corner of Main and Newport streets,
which cremated the Kaiser to the
happiness of all. The mill whistle,
church bells, cannon, horns, etc., made
a din that would have dismayed Kais-
er Bill had he been permitted to hear
it. In fact, one person suggested
that he probably heard what was
done here at the premature celebra-
ton the Friday evening before and
was what made him start for Hol-
land. Our townspeople wish to ex-
tend their thanks to all who furnish
ed autos for the occasion and es-
pecially to L. w. Hermon who came
from Newport and donated the use
of his truck.
