Attend Reunion
Tomorrow at Newton
Hickory retail merchants will close shop tomorrow at noon
and all owners and employes will attend the soldiers’ reunion and celebration
at Newton. A canvas of the merchants this morning by President Bisanar
disclosed such wide spread interest in the reunion that it was decided to
close.
Practically all of the Hickory boys will be at the reunion
tomorrow and hundreds of other citizens will be on hand. The weather man today
indicated showers for today and Thursday, but there were many chances that the
big reunion could be pulled off under the most favorable circumstances.
The program calls for a good time, from the standpoint of
the soldiers. There will be no parade, very little speaking, but plenty of
music, a ball game and other attractions, including two airplanes. The Newton
committee has gone to much trouble and expense to make the day a notable one.
The dinner to soldiers of three wars, their wives and children will be
memorable.
Reunion talk has been rife in Hickory all the week and
tomorrow everybody will be looking Newtonward. Those who miss the reunion will
regret it.
