CAPT, J. L. BASS.
While the birds bring us no melody, and lambs are not gav, neither the
daisy nor the lily employ their regal livery, nevertheless, withal, there is a
glad, sweet itfluence of the hour. Each heart gets a special joy in Christmas
—each for itself and suited to its want. The mysterious down-the-chimney
visit of grizzly Santa Claus is a cheerful delight to the little ones. Through
gift-giving the language of the hearts of friends is tenderly uttered,and peace
greeting goes out to meet its echo—good will, while the recurring thought of
the Manger Bed must bring its treasure to every believing soul. Christmas
is a success long-tried and true.
R. A. DENNY.
Christmas Day, day of feasting, day
of rejoicing, day of gladness. When we
think of our enemies only to forgive
them; and remember our friends only to
wish that we had loved them more.

lam too busy taking in taxes to say
anything, more than that I wish for
every one the best of Christmas cheer.

SOLICITOR MOSE WRIGHT.
This yeir is my first experience as
Santa Claus, and I've come to the con
clusion that there is more solid joy in
fixing a Christmas tree for a two year old
little one than being elected to every
office in Georgia.

HON. J C. MOORE.
Why, I’m so delighted with
the opportunity to spend a few days
daring Christmas with my family and
get acquainted with them again that
Ido not know what to say. Bat to
everybody I send kindiest greeting
for the season of Joy and che».-.

documents.

SHERIFF J. P. M’CONNELL.
A Christmas sentiment! Why, I wish
every soul in Rome, Floyd county and
the country all the happiness they are
entitled to. That’s all.any one should
have.
HON. HALStED SMITH.
The Tribune asks for an impromptu
thought about Christmas: the immediate
answer suggested is peace, good will and
joy. Each one knows what would bring
to him or her most restful peace; each,
from whom would be wished the most
good will, and each recognize, among all
the chords of life, the one whose music
will awaken the most joy.
