How shaken the German army has

low the Band and the
Parade Goes Through
Our Principal
Streets

Hardly had the news of the end of
the war spread around town before
bells began to ring, the gong at the
scale works sounded for ten minutes
and horns and small boys appeared
on the streets. The noise continued
in intensity until dark and early in
the evening the town fittingly cele-
brated by such jollifcation as has
seldom been seen in this community.
1t had been quickly arranged to
have d parade and bonfire and at least
5000 people were out to participate in
the general rejoicing. George w.
Young, ST. Johnsbury's "Uncle Sam"
rode joyorsly in a limousine, the ST.
JohnsburY Band played patriotic airs,
Company G, Vermont Home Guards,
headed the procession, while behind
them came the St. Johnsbury lodge of
Elks. Tncy were accompanied by
hundreds Of men, women and children
who followed along, with horns blow
ing, flags flying, and crackers and toy
pistols furnishing the rest of the
noise, if any more was necessary.
The Elks had the Kaiser in a coffin
and had also arranged for red lights
along the route Of the parade which
started at the Avenue House, march
ed up Eastern avenue, around the
principal streets on the "Plain" and
returned to Railroad street by Maple
street. In front of the depot the
bonfire was started, the Kaiser Gre
mated and a general satisfaction ex-
pressed at the disposition of the man
that started the war
Many OF the stores were brilliantly
decorated with flags and banners
and some Of the private houses were
Illuminated
For a celebration so quickly az
ranged it was literally a "howling'
success and if some thought it was
premature It was not in evidence last
night. Certainly the Kaiser was
very properly finished md st. Johns
bury celebrated in fine style.

Reception
Editor Ca;edonian:

Editor Ca;edonian:
The news that Chaplain Moody, U.
S. Army, has returned from the war,
on weli-earned furlough, has cleo
trified our town. And a greater mag
net than even st. Johnsbury will in a
day or two draw him to our midst.
If we were city and had mayor,
immediate arrangements would be
made I am sure for some appropriate
reception. Who then will take the
lead? Because what is everybody's
business IS nobody's business, as a
daily public servant, may I venture
to suggest that you, Mr. Editor, make
some arrangements, that st. Johns
bury may have the chance to show in
some way honor and welcome to
Chaplain Moody. The Armory is
certainly the appropriate place, al
ready ha;iowed by Sergeant Farnam
and other war speakers.

Mrs. Stella Folsom

A gloom was cast over this COM
munity Sunday evening, Oct. 6, when
it was learned that Mrs. Stella Fol
som had passed from this life to the
great beyond.
Mrs. Folsom was born in East Con-
cord January 8, 1868, the daughter of
Henry r. Pratt and Dorcas Grant
Pratt. The earlier years of her life
were all spent there. September q,
1885, she married Andrew Folsom.
One son was born to them, DR.. Henry
A. Folsom, who survived his mother
by three Gays. The circumstances
seem unusually sad as Mrs. Folsoms S
father, H. r. Pratt, passed away Sep
tember 27, Mrs. Folsom October 6,
Dr. H. A Folsom October 9, thus
taking the three generations in less
than two weeks. Mrs. Folsom had a
very severe attack of pneumonia last
April, from which she never fully re-
covered. She with her father and
Miss Grace Waite have spent their
summers at Miles Pond, where Mrs.
Folsom built a camp a few years ago
known as Camp Redwing. The past
summer she did not regain her health
as her friends wished she might, and
when she vas stricken with the dread
disease she did not have the vitality
to carry it through. Everything was
done for her that human power could
do, but at the end of weeks illness
she pa5sed>away. Her mother and
only sister both died with the same
disease a few years ago.
About Is years ago Mrs. Folsom
opened millinery parlors here. She
has been ore Of the most popular and
successful milliners of the town.
Three years ago she also bought a
millinery store at Morrisville, where
she also has carried on very sue
cessful business. She was woman
of great ability and one who had a
large circle of friends, for to know
her was to love her, for she always
had a smile and pleasant word fol
everyone and always sympathized
with those in trouble, never thinking
of herself. She was always happiest
when doing kindly deeds for others
She leaves one brother, Frank Powers
of East Concord, and little grandson
Henry Folsom Jr The funeral ser
vices were held from the house
Wednesday, Oct. 9, being private ow-
ing to the strict quarantine. Rev
George A. Martin officiated. The
floral tributes were exceptionally
large and beautiful and showed the
high esteem in which she was held
The bearers were U. S. Grant, Jane:

Donald. She was laid to rest in Mt
Pleasant cemetery. Among those
called here to attend the funeral were
