The day whs spent, in ffiiily, everyone was in n. pood humor und seemed to be having n tine lime, but there was very little rowdyism and drunkenness. The noise .Monthly .night-mid Tuesday was somctbiiijr terrific on Knyetteville street i.nd the. stores were jammed and parked -until bite Christmas eve night but the crowds were bent on expend ing' their energy in having a big time with horns nnd other melodious ('.') contrivances and not in, brawls or fight.
