Old Santa Greets
Children at Cabin
At Market Square

Santa Claus, the friend of old and
young, arrived Saturday in this city
with a Jingle of sleigh bells, and took
up his residence in the hut which had
been placed earlier in the week at Mar
ket Square for his especial comfort.
True, his reindeer were missing and
their place was taken by white
horse with markings of black. but our
climate is still too mild for the rein
deer and he was taking no chances
with his specially trained team.
At $50 r. NJ. the merry old gentle.
man drove down Water street and
around the building in the square. APP
parently satisfied that his workshop
was all that he had been led to ex-
pect, he climbed from the sleigh and
was greeted by y. W. Adams, who told
Santa that the children of this town
were especially Well behaved and that
he was glad to welcome INN to the city
on that account.
Santa thanked him for his kind
words of welcome and expressed his
pleasure that the children of Augusta
should all be SO good. lie said that he
would have presents for all of them
which would be distributed later. He
then began tho work of moving the
toys. which he had brought with him,
into His new workshop and so many
did he have that others were obliged
TO help him.
For tho remainder OF the afternoon
and all Of the evening he remained at
work in the workshop, making toys Of
all kinds and running the many me-
chanical ones which he had already
there. Throngs OF eager children and
many grown-ups fiocked to the square
to see him. and the platforms around
the workshop were filled at ali times
by the eager ones who were watching
him through the large windows which
had been provided for shat purpose.
The house was wired Saturday and
presented very attractive appear
ance with it's row OF alternate green
and red fights around the edge OF the
roof. and the bright warm glow Of
lights from within shining out through
the windows. Through all Of this
week Santa will be there in the after.
