Return Of The
Prodigal Sons
Last Saturday a Red Letter Day For Danbury
and Stokes County Great Reception Ten
dered the Long Absent Citizens Senator
* Sparger's Stirring Address The Feast
The Parade Other Incidents of the Day.
Last Saturday will be a day long remembered
in the annals of Stokes county.
The occasion marked the triumphant return
of the long absent delegation of prominent.
Stokes citizens who had been taking in the,
sights at the great World's Fair, and whose hap- 1
py arrival safe and sound was acclaimed by thoj
ringing of bells, the popping of firecrackers, the |
blare of music and the glare of envious thou
sands.
It appeared that even the seasons, the fickle
weather, beauteous nature itself, conspired to
make the event stand out in history as a Red
Letter day for the county.
The fields, the woods, vegetation, quickly as
sumed the first attractive tints of the new dress
of autumn; the landscape expressed that pleas
ant sense of finish, of rest, of home-coming and
welcome so appropriate to the momentous mo
ments.
Above in the blue ether frenzied jaybird >
squawked their delight; below, by the roadside
as the boys rode past like conquering heroes,
golden rods nodded their felicitations, while
black-eyed susans flirted, and grasshoppers
chirped in glee.
Ihe first news of the near approach of the
home-comers was received in a telephone mes
sage here at 3:30 o'clock Friday from Joe Lynch,
who reported a jaded looking green truck loaded
with nine passengers negotiating the Mayodan
curves at maximum speed, which, Mr. Lynch
calculated, barring accidents, should reach Dan
bury around 11:30 Saturday morning.
The news quickly went out from Danbury to i
every nook and corner of the county.
A committtee of entertainment with Hence,
Flinchum as chairman, was appointed to ar
range a program of welcome suitable to the oc
casion.
The first thing Hence did was to catch a 2-year i
old bull, which he slaughtered for a feast for the!
prodigals, as he felt sure they would be hungry, i
Another delicious number which had been ad- i
ded to the menu was fish, the favorite dish of the!
travellers. The fish committee had been hesitant
about robbing Stedman lake again until Mr.
Smith assured them that any warrants sworn
out on this patriotic occasion would also be chlo
roformer. Fine carp, catfish and eels were in
abundance, and fried to the Queen's taste.
No detail had been omitted by the committee
on arrangements. A brass band of 25 pieces, led
by tne famous Frank Hartman of Southside,
Winston-Salem, had already arrived and was
eating hot dogs in the cafes.
One of the most embrassing questions was
early asked by the band, to-wit:
"Have you no beer?"
By sun-up Saturday morning the crowd was
coming in by automobile, truck, mules and afoot.
Before 10 o clock every parking space was occu
pied while hundreds of people frantically sought
seats or standing room, and began to climb
trees and housetops. Every porch was full, the
;,ail was full, and many citizens were full, but
happily the authorities had suspended the 'rules.
It was to be a day of nothing but hilarity and
unsubdued happiness.
Mr. Flinchum had provided everything for the
comfort, convenience and enjoyment of the
great crowd, and many compliments were heard
about his wonderful forethought. He had even
provided for sickness and accident by engaging
a group of very attractive nurses from the Mar
tin Memorial hospital, and as these girls rode
