The stores and business houses in Jackson were closed for the day and things presented a Sun day appearance. The post office had a busy day handling the rush of mail. It was a wet and sloppy day for the rural carriers who were on duty as usual. The various churches had Christmas trees that made glad the hearts of the little folks.
