there was in the whole civilized world
last Monday, when it was flashed
over the wire that the representa-

armistice which brought the greatest
war the world has ever seen, prac-
tically to a close.
Here in Aberdeen the schools were
turned out and the pupils in pro-
cession paraded the streets waving
flags and otherwise evidencing their
unbOunded JOY.
The whistles blew and all the
bells of the city rang out the glad
tidings. Business was suspended
and the people gave their time to
demonstrations of rejoicing.
Monday night the celebration was
emphasized by a display OF fireworks
which lasted we'll into the night.
Aberdeen was glad and gave appro-
pirate evidence of it.
