"l.lhery Day last Friday, saw
l.una county make the grade with u
momentum that carried her finally
ever the top with margin Of
It $50 ~ bond sales over the SILL
iOO called for from this county. II
lpuk a whole afternoon Of patriotic
demonstration and fiery speeches by
inspired raIurs, as well rs yeoman
labor by the committee Of bond sales
men, but il was finally accomplished,
aud lhencelorward up to tomorrow
night The only task remaining is TO
make the oyersubscription as large
~ possible, The committee hope TO
equal or surpass the mark reached
on the second Liberty Bond issue, OF
which this county took more than
double us quota.
The figure given above does not in
clude sales merely pledged, which
would brlng The total at the close Of
the days activities up around the
T2GO,DDD mark. The sales before
the hanks opened their doors, just
after the parade, we're approximately
SlGO,OOO, which gives some idea OF
what was accomplished in the short
Time they were open to bond buyers
aud also of the effect Of the urging
of the speakers at the two stands on
Pine street, every one of whom deliv-
cred telling shots in the four minutes
allotted them on the platform. IL was
nearly > o'clock when the speaking
closed. Al 8 o'clock the quota had
been passed.
The big, mile-long parade, WHICH
formed on East Pine street early in
The allepuon, Iullawing the exhhi-
lion drill Of CO. H., l35th infantry,
aud lrayersrd the principal streets
Of The business section, was OF course
very easily the feature Of the day,
from u spectacular standpoint, at
least. There were several exceed
ngly creditable floats in the parade,
among thin being that Of the Nord-
haus store, showing a giant Liberty
Bell, crack and all, guarded by Uncle
