Christmas Holiday Observed in City Amid Busy Streets
Columbus observed a legal holiday with crowds on the streets, stores closed in the afternoon, and a calm night crowd of six arrests by 1 am. Fireworks lit the sky and civic officials warned strict enforcement of city ordinances against further cracker use. A noted entertainment program featuring Francois the Blue Stocking opened with the Merry War, drawing a large audience and promising a strong run of performances. Major George Y. Banks died in Stewart county, with funeral arrangements in Columbus and numerous associations paying tribute. Local society notes list arrivals at Rankin House and social visits, while Yellowstone Kit drew ten thousand attendees with his Christmas tree event, described as highly magnetic.
