The Chronicle Is glad to an nounce today that that plans have been perfected for the holding of Clinton’s Big Anniversarj-Jubilee and Home-Coming Day on Satur day, June 7th. The proposition has the endorsement and support of the Commercial Club and the va rious business interests of • the town. This means success for the undertaking—another big red-let ter day in the city’s history similar to that of last year. Clinton has been suffering in re cent years for the lack of a real, big, attractive* home-coming celebra tion. Last year the old Anniver sary day, a historical event in the minds of thousands, was revived as an appropriate- time for such an event and it was a magnificent suc cess. ^This year it was decided to postpone the date a few weeks in order to work it in as the big fea ture day of ehautauqua week. The object is to invite our friends all over the county to come here to spend the day and to provide an interesting program for their en joyment while here. Clinton is to ENTERTAIN’ and we will throw our gates wide open to the thous ands who are expected as our guests. The complete program will soon he announced. There will be - a prominent speaker, a military band from one of the camps, a big pa rade, ehautauqua, barbecue and j other features. We must do the job up right and we’ll have to go some to beat last year. Such a big day—bringing thousands of people here, will prove beneficial in many ways, Gladly give your support to the. va rious committees. Be a red-hot boaster for the big day. Pall in line now—do your bit—everybody. ment but it is his badge of greatest honor and emblem of surest hope, a symbol of affection for the' love that never dies.

In the lapel of every man’s coat on this day must be a flower, an emblem signifying the love he holds in his heart for his best friend—mother. If it is a red flower, most happi- \y, that mother lives to guide his footsteps with her prayers. But if it be a white flower—mother has gone—gone to beckon him on to eternal life beyond. Wearing the flower is merely a matter of senti- Editor The Chronicle: At a meeting recently held by the business men of Clinton, it was decided to again celebrate our “Anniversary Day’’ on June 7, and at the same time combine that celebration with a welcome to our returned soldiers as w^ll as the ehautauqua, that is to be held in Clinton this year, and on the day of the celebration to have another parade in the morning. Last year our people responded nobly as regards preparations. .We had thousands of people with us. but expect this.year to have twice as many. The parade last year was very good, hut we,want this year, and expect to have, at least four times as many floats as we had before, and -each and every one of our soldier boys from Clin ton and the surrounding territory. We propose to have three dis tinct sections of floats, one busi ness'. one for pleasure ears, and another section, agricultural floats, and it. is these latter floats that 1 wish to call the farmers especial attention to. Last year,we had some five or six agricultural dis plays and there is no reason why we should not have at least fifty or seventy-five agricultural floats. In our immediate vicinity is’produced some of the finest produce, truck, cattle, etc., and what the writer wishes to impress upon our farmers ami beg of them is that they get up some disp truck, automobile, or wagon, dis playing thereon stuff that is raised on farms aroiind Clinton, not necessarily com or cotton, but ev en “guinea pigs’’. Let us show these thousands of people, who will be with us on June 7. what the soil of the vicinity will produce. There will Ik* three prizes offer ed this year for the best display in line.* One of the prizes last year that was given for the agricul tural display was awarded Air. T. II. Holland, who certainly deserved it. This year we want Mr. Holland to have more competition. But let’s get together and make that competition keen, thereby enhanc ing the value of our land land and helping your town to have a cele bration and parade that will not only be the talk of South Carolina, but will be the talk of the South. I, as chairman of the parade committee, promise you that the merchants will ^o their part as re gards floats. May I count upon you to bring in loads of those “guinea pigs”, corn, cotton,"wheat, etc.? Let us show the people what we ean raise and how we pull to gether in our undertakings. Should any information be de sired regarding the parade, I beg to say that in the respective sec tions outside of town the follow ing gentlemen haYe been selected .on our parade committee: Mr. Jack H. Davis, Mr. Hayne B. Workman, Mr. C. W. Stone, Mr. W. M. My ers, and Mr. Jno. M. Copeland, any of which will be glad to fur nish same. Thanking you for the support given me last year as well as for that which I feel quite sure I will get tills year in our bigger under taking, I remain, V • ' Yours respectfully, GEO. H.
