, OF Commerce.
The day for the occasion was idea
and in keeping with his promises. J
H. Holloway, chairman and starte
of the parade committee, stated thu
parade would start promptly at &
m. A few minutes before the hOu
arrived the parade was being as
sembled.
r. w. Vane, marshall, headed tht
procession, then came the Carlisle
Fire Company, of Milford with mel
and apparatus. They were given the
honor position in line. The Harring-
ton Fire Company came next depict
ing the progress of the local COM
: pany from the lowly hand drawn
hose cart the first piece of fire fight
ing equipment, to the present mod
ern chemical engine and telling the
citizens that a modern pumper
would be needed before another 10
years rolls around. The Greenwood
band, Mayor and City Councilmen
and Chamber of Commerce IN gayly
decorated automobiles came next in
line. The next division of the parade
consisted of about ten business floats

! business automobiles.
The next division was made up of
floats by Organizations-Camp Fire
Girls, P. o. S. of A, Maccabees and
Christian Endeavor Society.
The bicycle division contained
about fifteen boys and girls under
fifteen years of age. The judges eX-
perienced some difficulty in selecting
the winners here and had to take
several views of this division. A
pony cart driven by Billy McCabe
and gayly decorated deserves spec
ial mention as does a dog cart driv-
en- by Merritt Laws.
The comic section, the last in the
parade, drew the most attention.
Emil Moore as a clown and William
Hamilton driving a hOrseless Wag- |
on. Hatfield & Collins IN comic at |
tire all sold out of bananas, chimney |
sweep, a Kentucky log cabin float,
and a band of colOred Jazz hounds |
brought up the rear. The procession |

route of parade which took in four
miles of streets. A base ball game
on the high school grounds between
