Santa Claus—the jolly old gentle

and others, Santa rode triumphantly
down Broad street, his approach at
the end of the parade heralded by
cries of, "There’s Santa.”
Long before the parade was to be
gin its route was lined with throngs
of people, young and adults — all
turned out in full force to greet the
distinguished guest. As the parade
came up the street the Christmas
lights flashed on in the business dis
trict and a beautiful blue-lighted
Christmas tree near the monument,
and others.
The jolly Santa himself was high
!y pleased with the rousing welcome
he received. After the parade he said,
"it thrilled me to greet all my lit
tle Clinton friends again.”
There were a number of beautiful
floats in the parade. Also the Lau
rens, Clinton and Thornwell and
F. C. bands, aided by high stepping
drum majorettes, Cub Scouts, Camp
Fire and Blue Birds were also in
the marching group. —- ...
For the best float a cash .prize of
$60 was offered and was won by
Lydia Cotton Mills. Second place
