NO. 29
Cashion Ceiebrafes
At four o'clock, Monday morn-
ing word was received here that
Germany had signed the armis-
tice and that hostilities ceased
at eleven o'clock, French time
(about five o'clock here. J. B.
Allen, S, W. Hogan and Dr. Pol-
lock vied with each other to see
who would fire the first shot and
we believe that Mr. Hogan car-
ried off the honors. In a few
minutes after the alarm was giv-
en the streets were full of men
and women and shot guns were
cracking everywnere. Some ot
the business men were sleepy
and tailed to join the crowd but
each house was visited and sev
eral individnals were escorted
down town ana were fined |wo
boxes of shells and candy and
cigars for the crowd. The cele-
bration las ed until after ^un up
and Cashionites were wide
awake long before the usual
time. The school children gave
a military drill and -parade on
Main street about ten o'clock.
Cashiou Man Is Promoted

Word was recently received
from Avery B. Wight that he
has been promoted to the rank

ment and has been in the service

He first received a commission
as Captain and resigned his po-
sition as cashier of the Farmers
State Bank. Cashion people are
proud of the record Major Wight

Dewey . Ashmon came near

on the left side of the face rang-
ing upward thru his cap Other
than making an ugly v^pund he
was not badly hurt. Dewey

h.s ambition for dpek shooting.
