Half Holiday Proclaimed in Fairfield Celebration
Mayor R. H. Munro declared a half holiday as factories posted the notice Nothing Doing Today. Firemen at the Loudon plant worked harder, while crowds filled the park and city streets. Boys fired muskets and cannons as the mood grew, and merchants limited fireworks and noisy items. Automobiles flooded the city and farmers phoned the Daily Journal with the good news, drawing crowds toward Fairfield for the festivities.
