Seventy-five years ago when the red
man watched from the forest clad banks
of old Ocmulgee the work of the comma
sinners who marked out the boundaries of
the city of 'Macon and. far from the hum
of commerce in the busy world, the echoes
of the wild back woods were awakened by
the first note of Industry, such a day as
this and the sights and scenes that have
marked it would have sounded like the
wanderings of a wild dream.
From those woods and along those hills
a great city has grown and those who can
today 1 >ok back and remember the hamlet
known as (Macon, find in the picture that
m< rnory draws and the real action of the
present a marvelous story of the incoming
tide of civilization that under the hand of
tho Anglo-Saxon is spreading with an ir
resistible force over the face of the western
world and bearing on its bosom commerce,
fdifeation, development and the wealth of
Jesuits that spring from the God-given
brain of man.
Today's Trades display was perhaps the
grandest and best that has ever been given
in this state. Aside from the story of en
terprise and industry, of a. vast volume of
trade and of a people united in their pa
triotism, it was magnificent in the wealth
of design and the great scope of rhe ad
vertisement.
The floats represented a tremendous
amount of work and a large expenditure of
money. They represented a spirit of pride
in development and a firm belief in the

great. -nre in store /or this city under
new conditions.
The order of the parade was excellent
and Marshal Duncan and his aides deserve
the thanks of the whole number of those ,
who gathered to see the parade.
The crowds, which have been large in
the preceding days, were larger today.
Every window along the line of maren
was fill d and every possible point of van
tage m which the parade could be seen
was oo upied two hours before the parade
started. The sidewalks were lined and
pack d from the edge to the buildings and
when this is said of Macon sidewalks it
means something.-
It is probable that there are thirty thou
sand people on the streets today.
• Every inoming train came in loaded and
every road leading to the city was filled
with vehicles from the time the first tinge
of pink crept into the Eastern sky.
When the morning did break there was
no doubting the favors that the sun meant
to bestow on Macon for today. None of the
boasted dimates of the world could afford
anyt' ii . ’ surpass this glorious Georgia
and Carnival weather.
The heat of a sun. unshaded in an azure
sky. is tempered by a gentle breeze that
blows from the east and bears the greet
ings from the ocean.
The bright colors everywhere and the
splendid decorations on the floats are
heightened in effect by the sunshine that
has bathed Macon in its glory today.
Following are the floats in the order in
which they came. Some perhaps are bet
ter worthy of mention than others, but
the means of some of those who took a
part were perhaps not as great as that of
others. It is the spirit of the Shing that
was there and in this respect each one de
serves as much credit as the other:
