cess. The only thing to mar the
day in any way was the fact that
on account of the military situation
the boys from the camps or the
18th Infantry Band could not get
here. Everyone expressed Their
disappointment in not seeing the
boys.
The grand parade which formed
at the school house was lead by the
Calhoun Falls Band, followed i'm.
mediately by Lieut.. D. Townsend
Smith, Sergt. Allen T. King, Privates
Bellamy and Van Loan, of our
home boys, who were able to come,
in Miss Bessie Lee Cheatham's big
Buick. Next in order were the Lib
erty Loan Girls dressed in white
with their caps of red, white and
blue.
One of the big horses of the Fire
Department was lead by Chief Will
son.
The Surgical Dressings Class was
next in order dressed in Red Cross
uniforms.
An Indian carrying a banner
which read "Indians from America
are Fighting to Save their Coun-
try"
The Army Mule Banner vas car
ried by a young boy which read,
"We are doing our bit, what are
you doing?"
The school children of Abbeville
and several townships in the county
came next.
The little Red Cross nurses came
next with their banner.
A delegation of the Garden Club
was most interesting. There were
about fifty little boys under sixteen
years, who were dressed in blue
overalls with farm hats. They car
ried their farm implements.
The Belgian widows and orphans
were interesting. A large banner
carried by two of the boy scouts
which read, Germany Cuts off the
hands of little children. Let's save
our babies" The little tots were
all under six years old dressed in
white with wreaths of flowers on
their heads. They distributed tiny
hands cut out of white paper along
the way.
The senior class at the Woman's
