In detailing the events of such
a big day, it is hard to know
where to begin.
The Greensboro News sent its
staff man, w. T. Bost, here to
cover" the dal; the News & Oh
server sent its News Editor, Mr..
J. A. Livingston, and the Char
lotte News sent Mr.. Jasper C.
Hutto. All three gentlemen, and
expert newsgathers, gave splen-
did accounts through their ex-
cellent papers of the events of
the day, and that our people may
see just how these dailies cover.

their accounts. We want our
readers to see themselves as

But now in this account of the
day, the Post-Dispatch is going
to ramble along, in a personal
narrative form, and in minute de-
tail describe the day just as
everything occurred, from be-
ginning to end.
The Celebration was given in
welcome to the Service Men of
Richmond county, by Rocking
ham as host. The expenses of
the day were borne by the busi.
ness men who were only too
proud and glad of the honor
the Service Men were do.
ing them by partaking of the
city's hospitality. Last winter
the Dispatch started the ball
to rolling by announcing that a
Celebration fitting tine men to
whom it was to be given, would
be held at Rockingham wher the
bulk of the boys got home. And
so six weeks ago a meeting of
the business men was held and
with an unanimity characteristic
of our Rockingham people it was
decided to stage this affair on a
really big scale, and instead Of
selecting a committee to run the
affair, it was decided to central.
