The Town Ouucll of Jesup have levied a
tax upon town property for the purpose of

the wa> proposed.

basis, which will bethe future line of policy.
Macon is rejoicing in business prosperity
which we take pleasure in noticing. The

assertion when we affirm that the wholesale
trade of Macon is equal in volume and value
to that of Atlanta, Augusta or Savannah,
Last w’eek one firm sold in a single day
$9,000 worth of goods. Another, in two or
three days, $15,000, and we doubt not that
a half score or more of others can make au
equally good showing.”

25th says: 44 It became known yesterday
morning that Col. E. W. Cole, President of
the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis
Railroad, had beeu purchasing largely of the
stock of the Central Railroad, and that some
four huudred shares of the stock of that
company had been bought for his account.
This news stiffened prices a ilttle, as it tend
ed to confirm the floating rumors that bis
objective point was Savannah instead of
Port Royal, and that he was in negotiation
either with Colonel Wadley or with Mr. Mo
ses Taylor, of New York. Under the influ
ence of this report Central, which could
have been bought at 71% early in the day,
advanced to 72, at which figure sales were
made here and in Savannah.”
Athens Banner: “The different religious
denominations of Athens report only twelve
families in all the city who are dependent
upon the charities of the churches. This is
certainly a fine showing for a place so large
as Athens, and with so large a proportion of
its citizens belonging to the different
churches.”
The.Gainesville Southron 6ays: “There is
no doubt that the managers of the Louis
ville and Nashville Company have pur
chased the franchises of the Georgia West
ern Railroad, and that the road will be
speedily completed. This will be a very
large feather in the cap of Atlanta, and
give her the death grip on the coal and
other monopolies of the Western and At
lantic ; beside* bringing to her au Immense
trade In cotton, wheat and corn from North
western Georgia, and a large scope of Ala
bama and Tennessee.”

when the pursuers came up he was in the
act of receiving the money for it. Drake
was arrested and lodged in jail.”
Griffin Daily News: “We learned yester
day of a most heartrending misfortune—an
accident that occurred uear Zebulon, Pike
county, on the evening of the 22d instant.
Mrs. Sarah Wood, the widow of Robert
Wood, who was killed iQ Zebulon a few
years ago, lives about three miles from
ZebuloD, on the Barnesville road,wub three
or four young children. She and her chil
dren left the house on the afternoon of the
22d, to visit some neighbors, and while
gone, their house caught or wss set on fire,
and was soon enveloped in flame. Her
older son, John Wood, living about a mile
from his mother’s home, seeing the flame,
mounted a mule and started for his mother’s
home. While on the way the mule became
frightened, threw him and broke his neck.
Thus in one short hour a mother is left no
thing but ashes to tell where once her home
stood, and a cold, lifeless bodv is all that
remains of a devoted sou The unfortunate
ones have the deepest sympathy of the en
tire community.”
Dawson Journal: “The water gin and mill
belonging to the late Washington W*k>1-
bright, near Cbickasawhatcbie, was the
scene of two very sad and unfortunate
occurrences on last Tuesday afternoon Mr.
D. A Woolbright, who is iu charge of the
property, was accidentally caught in some
part of the machinery (we did not learn
what), and was seriously wounded and
bruised about the head, aDd had one of hi6
arms broken. In a short, while after this
accident had happened Mr. Thos. A. Cole
man, son-in law or Mr. D. A. Woolbright,
and who is Interested in a lease of the prop
erty tnis year, was attempting to pull some
motes out of the gin or off of the saws
while the machinery was in motion, and hi6
right hand was caught in the gin and one
of his fingers cut off and his hand spl’t open.
These gentlemen both have the sympathies
of the entirp community iu their sudden and
untimely afflictions.”
The following additional particulars of
the recent disastrous fire which destroyed a
large portion of the business part, of the
town of Waynesboro, we gather from the
Waynesboro Expositor of the 25th: “The
fire originated In the store occupied former
ly by Mr. Marshall and P. R Beale. and a?
there was no one sleeping m the building,
and it of course locked, considerable time
was lost iu effecting an entrance, and then
it was too late to stop the appetite of that
voracious and insatiable monster, which
eventually is to consume the universe. The
skill and’energy of Mr. Scherer prevented
the extension of the fire in his direction be
yond the small shop occupied by J. E Tant
and John Walls, colored, next door to the
s’ore of Marshall & JBea’e, although hi6 resi
dence is only thirty feet distant from Wall’s
chop. In the other direction the. flames
leaped with fury, aDd In a few moments the
store of McCasherine & Co., the butcher
shop of J. T. Tant, the drug store of J. A
Polhill and the stipe of S. Schwarzweiss
were a sheet of flame. At this point the
brick metal roofed store of W. A. Wuklns
temporarily checked the flames and there
were a few spectators who Indulged the
hope that the destruction would extend no
further. Soon, however, this barrier could
stay the destruction no loDger, and burst
into flames, and then there was apparently
no further hope for the refit of the block,
and but little for the store ana residence of
S. A. Gray on the opposite side of the street.
Between the flames and a row of wooden
shingle roofed buildings there was the brick
wall of the building of Major Wilkins, with
one opening covered with iron door, and
even this space filled by slight wooden
structures. The wells accessible were ex
hausted; and even if there had been water
in abuudance, what hope was there of ex
tinguishing such a fire without a fire de
partment ? The estimated aggregate loss Is
$75,000: insurance $45,000, principally in
the following companies; Liverpool, Lon
don and Globe, Manhattan, Merchants’ and
Mechanics’ of Virginia, Petersburg, Lon
don and Lancashire, and Home of New
York.”

POLITICAL EXCITEMENT IN MAINE.
Bangor, Me., December 25.—Excitement
was created here to-day by reports of the
intended removal of arms and ammunition
from the State arsenal to the depot for
transportation to Augusta. About 5 o’clock
p. m. two truck teams loaded with arms
and ammunition were stopped on the Ken-
duskeag bridge by a crowd, which rapidly
increased to a throng, that filled the
streets, declaring that the arms should
never be carried out of the city.
Mayor Brown demanded of the teamster
the orders under which he was acting.
No satisfactory answer was given at first.
A young man named French appeared, who
said he was a clerk in the Adjutant Gen
eral’s office, and was moving the arms to
Augusta under orders from the Governor.
The excitement of the populace was greatly
increased by this statement, and the crowd
attempted to unharness the horses. Tbe
Mayor told French he had not force enough
to guarantee the safety of the munitions if
an attempt to remove them was per
sisted in while the people were
excited. He would take no re
sponsibility for the trouble that might
ensue. French decided it best to return
the arms to the arsenal rather than incur
the hazard of riot and the Mayor furnished
police to protect them. On their return the
public excitement was increase! by
report that J. L. Smith, the Greenback
candidate for Governor, S. W. Hoskins,
Fusion Indian agent, and Major M. M. Fol
som, of Old town, were closeted at
tbe Penobscot Exchange during the day.
Major Folsom appeared on the ground,
after the team had turned back, and told
Clerk French that he made a mistake In not
jushlng through to the depot, and urged
lim to change his orders for their return
to the arsenal. Mr. French, however, was
unwilling to assume the responsibility of
a collision with the populace. Excitement
Is at fever heat throughout the city.
Boston, December 26.—A special from
Bangor to the Herald B&yB. “The escape from
bloodshed was very narrow. Adjutant
General Levitt will arrive here to-morrow.
What action will be taken is not known. It

forming a secret military association and
threats have been made that they would
seize the arms in the arsenal.”
Bangor, Drcember 26.—A communication
signed by Mayor Brown, a number of ex-
May ors of the city and other prominent
citizens, expressing surprise at the attempt
to move the arms and Ammunition from the
State arsenal to Augusta, and deploring the
act of the State authorities in moviDg large
quantities of deadly weapons through the
streets of a peaceful city in the present ex
citement of the public mind, was sent to
Governor Garcelon to-day.
Boston, December 26.—The Bangor TFftiy

The company has sixty Springfield breech
loading rifles. Oldtown is the residence
of the fusion candidate for Governor.*

from Bangor to the Express says: “Governor
Garcelon is expected here during the day,

execution of the law.”

and tbe Senators from Cuba and Porto
Rteo were opposed to tbe abolition measure
of Cauovas del Castillo on the ground that the
uew Cabinet had not presented those tariff
reforms which might euabie tbe colony to

Madrid, December 26.—Both houses qf
the Cortes have adjourned to January 10rh'.
The abolition bill which passed the Sen
ate, provides for the gradual emancipation
of slaves in Cuba in 1886 and 1887 and 1888,
after eight years of provisional servitude
under their present masters. It is proposed
to enact severe statutes against vagraucy, In
connection with this scheme, aud to extend

INDIAN AFFAIRS.
Los Pinos Agency, Colorado, Decern
ber 34, via Lake City, December 26.
Ouray and the chiefs selected to go to
Washington came to the agency yesterday,
bringing with them only a Dart of the
prisoners. General Hatch refused to go
unless all the prisoners demanded by thi?
commission were surrendered. Ouray asked
further time, and five days more were
granted to deliver them at Cline’s ranche,
thirty miles from here, on the road to Ala-
noea, at which place Gen. Hatch will await
their coming. Ouray is either playing a
double game, or is unable to accompdih
what he attempted. The snow is from five
to fifteen feet deep cn the range, and the
General is compelled to build a sleigh iu
order to make the trip. The success or the
commission is somewhat doubtful, and the
army may yet be called upon to settle the
Ute question.
THE CHICAGO-STRIKE.
Chicago,December 26.—Tb«. First Brig&d e

Eighty-seven of their old employes notified
the uuion to-day that they had withdrawn,
and all signed an agreement to join no union
inimical to the interests of the firm. At Ar
mour’s place seven hundred men were em

to that of Fowler’s employes. The Fowlers
intend to kill sixteen hundred hogs to-day
and three thousand to-morrow. Workmen
are leaving the union in considerable num
bers.
THE RECENT ATTEMPT AGAINST THE CZAR’S
LIFE.
London, December 26.—A 8t. Petersburg
letter published in the Daily News says:
‘‘There is a notable diminution of popular
indignation and sympathy manifested after
tbe recent attempt against tbe Czar’s life.
This is principally attributed to the increase
of discontent and to dissatisfaction with
the purely reactionary measures of the
government.”

on the Panama c&nol scheme, say6: “De-
Lesseps will personally and solely assume
the whole responsibility of the successor
failure of the enterprise.”

Svecial Correspondence of the Morning News.
Washington, December 24.—Private in
formation received here from Grant says
that he will be In Washington the first of
January next, or perhaps a day or two
earlier. He will stay here one night, and
then goes to Cedar Keys to take tbe steamer
for Cuba. He will delay at Richmond,
Charlotte and Savannah, stopping, according
to present arrangements, a day at Savan
nah. He will probably reach your city about
the 5th. While here Mr. Hayes and the
Cabinet will fawn upon him. Grant will
stay in Cuba -a couple of weeks. From
Havana he will take steamer for Vera Cruz
From there he will visit the iuterior of
Mexico, particularly tbe scenes of the cam
paign in which he participated in
that country. It is not improba
ble that he will extend his
journey overland into Texas and then go to
New Orleans, Vicksburg, and the scenes of
his operations in the southwest during the
late war. Leaving Vicksburg be will go to
Memphis, aud by St. Louis to his home in
Galena. He expects to arrive in this coun
try on bis return about the latter part of
April or the first of May. He will occupy his
cottage at Long Branch next summer. His
daughter Nellie, Mrs. Sartoris, will visit him
there. The hippodrome will thus take itself
to other travels, tbe South being tbe objec
tive point of the boom this time. His pro
gress is expected to do much to
give life to his supposed boom in
tbe South. It will be noticed that his
arrival in tbe country is pretty well-timed
as regards the meeting of the National Re
publican Convention, which is to be held iu
Chicago June 3d nexr.
There is a story generally circulated that
it is the intention of the Democrats to make
war on the national banks after the holi
days. This is highly improbable. None of
the Democrats talked of this matter while
Congress was in session, and there is noth
ing to .-how that there is any correctness In
t*>e report. It can be set down as most *~
likely.
Tbe chances still seem to be in favor of
John S. Btgby as successor to Farrow, United
States Attorney for Georgia. He is making
no particular effort for the place, that can
be learned of, but stems to be the favorite
of the Department of Justice. When Far
row was last reappointed, it Is stated that
Bigby would have been nominated if be had
so much as asked for it, but he would not
do so. This time he has made, an applica
tion for the position, and that is about all.
It is crediraMe iu him that he Is uot report
ing to the many tricks of the office hunter.
Judge McCay appears to be a little more
anxious than Mr. Bigby. He and his friends
are making a pretty warm canvass. Another
candidate has just appeared in the field. It
is Mr A. S. Darnell, of Atlanta. Mr. Dar
nell is the present assistant of Farrow, and
seems"to base his claims upon the idea that
according to civil service reform there
should be a promotion in filling his su
perior’s plac-*. He has forwarded a formal
application for the place, accompanied by
quite a number of endorsements In the
snape of lettsrs, uiging his appointment,
written by people mostly Republicans,
of Atlanta and the vicinity. From
all indications he is eimpty wast
ing his time. It is perfectly safe
to say that Mr. Darnell will not be appoint
ed. He could not, among other disqualifi
cations, help the alleged Republican boom
in Georgia. It is learned here that cx-At-
torney General Akerman has been urged by
a number of Republicans, both inside and
outside of Georgia, to recommend a man
for Farrow’s place.- He has refused to rec
ommend anybody. He will not consent to
appear in any way connected with the mat
ter. It la understood, although he will not
make any move in the m&tter, that his pre
ferences are for Mr. Bigby.
Hayes has gone over to Philadelphia to
chat with Grant, and tell him how inuch he
thinks of him. John Sherman is disconso
late. One by one his old pals seem to de
sert him to participate in that Grant whoop.
JobnistQ be commisserated—the animated
Icicle needs a visit of consolation from the
mourners.
In regard to the proposition to impeach
Judge- Ereklue — bruited abroad £y the
Southern Republicans, and heretofore men
tioned in these dispatches—there have been
some recent developments decidedly advt r.-e
to the anti-Erskine boom. The question
of his proposed impeachment—like ali sub
jects relaiiug to Federal appointments in the
South—-has been considered in one of the
executive sessiousof that all-powterful body,
the Southern Republican Association. While
.Willing, nay, anxiQas, to du everythin? to
create a vacancy in almost any Federal office
n he South, the association thought t La
this was a matter that had better be let
alone. Seveia< of the mo6t rampant Re
publican Senators were broached to induce
them to tak4 up the preliminaries for an im
peachment, but gave no encouragement to
the movers, as the evidence to go on was
very slight and very qnt^iis/a^tory. ’ T'lie
administration nasnjtyet been sounded, but
if it is there will be found no encourage
ment there. Mr. Hayes is too busy famish
ing his son Webb with the forthcoming his
tory of his life to pay any attention to such
minor matters as these! Altogether, the
anti-Erskine movement may be set down
as a complete failure.
The situation in Maine is exciting con
siderable interest here. The stalwarts'are
crying for gore and preparing to mVke ap
peals to the alleged President of the United
S ates. They have mistaken the temper of
the Democrats of Maine. While Blame is
howling for gore and a dual government
the Ejefliocrats of that S^ate have the whole
machinery of the S ate government in their
bands and the law qf the land an their si te.
The course that they have pursued is, be
yond a doubt, injudicious, but h* more than
justifiable by Republican precedents—vide
the last Presidential count, or rather grand
larceny. There is talk of Federal interfer
ence. It is bosb. Tbe only way in which
the Federal power could be brough*. to bett?
would be at the request of the Governor of
the gtate, and thatU .veraor ta Garcelon, a
Democrat, who would not call for Federal
assistance, except to put down violence on
the part of the Republicans should they
attempt to resist tbe conclusions that have
been reached by the board of canvassers.
That’s the way the matter stands. It can
be taken for granted that there is to ; be no
such upheaval and “resistance by force” in
Maine as the Republicans are talking of. It
ia ,eithee »q br a b^cjciug doyn'On fhe part
of the jBernocrarg, which ia most highly
lmprooable, or a quiet submission of the
Republicans, which seems inevitable.

CHRISTMAS ES IN NEW YORK.
A Letter to the Ladles and Use Lit
tle People.
purr gills.
Spscidl Correspondence of th* Morning News.
New York, December 24.—Christmas be
gins In New York on the very first day of
December, unless the first day be Sunday,
and in that case New Yorkers seem to thinly
that the 30th of November Is not too early
to begin the holidays. And when the holi
days come, New York wakes up. She
drapes herself in all the glory of her lovely
American flag. Her florists’ shops she turns
to bits of fairyland, her show windows to
wonders of taste or triumphs of art. She
raises hundreds of booths, as if by magic,
to grace her pavements with the wares of
manv nations. And then she pours ont
upon her. streets a merry, light-hearted,
laughing throng, that surges to and fro all
day long in the Bunshine and wind and
snow, and under the gaslight at night.
Even miserable East side, in the down-town
wards, throws off its dream of horrors and
tries to be merry.
One afternoon early in December we
came down the stairway from the Fourteenth
street and Sixth avenuejelevated station, in
to an excited crowd—great even for New
York. Pushing our way gradually through
It, and looking out for ihe safety of our
portemonnaie the while, we found ourselves
facing a large window of one of New York’s
fashionable dry goods establishments, or
rather—for we soon forgot the existence of
the window—“A Doll Christening Party”
emerging from the brown and red gothic
portal of a church. A pretty little nurse
maid in a short navy-bine dress, a square
lace apron, red stockings, high heeled
French slippers, and a Normandy cap
pushed back upon the waves of her French
blonde hair, occupied the centre of the fore
ground. She carried the baby, wearing a_
ilehiy laced christening robe, in her arms.
Following on either side were tbe papa aud
mamma dolls. Papa wore his court dress
of black velvet, knee breeches, black silk
hose and powdered cue. Mamma in white
satin traiu, jewels and lace, bent over to
kiss the baby. The godmother was lovely
iu her puffed gray hair and her 6tripea
gown of sky blue and rose faille and satin.
Maidens from under their quaiut, piquant,
flaring bonnets, smiled on cavaliers iu broad
brimmed and -plumed troubadour hats.
From behind, the dark purple skirts of a
smiling auntie, who walked in the rear,
peeped the blue bonnet, the yellow curls,
and the bright eyes of “baby’s” little three
vear old sister. The dolls in^ this party
were all three feet high, except the baby
and its little si6ter.
In another window a life sized Gulliver
lay extended upon the shores of the Island
of Lilliput, fastened down to the 6ands by a
uet work of thread-like ropes. His ship
rocked on the waves of tbe distant bay.
His boat, represented on the sceue curtain
at tbe back of the window, was moored to
the shore. Crowds of surveyors, sailors
and citizens scrambled over him as
he lay in his blue knee breeches,
yellow hose, brown jacket and
buckled 6hoes. Tiny regiments and brigades
of the Lilliputian infantry and cavalry
marched upon him. The cannon of. the
artillery was planted opposite his great,
head, and the KiDg and his courtieri ex
amined his cocked hat at a safe distance
from the scene of action. •
Tbe little childreu were wild with en
thusiasm over a third window. They climbed
the stairways of a neighboring elevated rail
way station, and hung ia all sorts of dan
gerous positions from the iron banisters.
They tugged, and pushed, aud jostled each
other. They ran wildly down tbe avenue,
followed by nurse or mamma, all ihe while
exclaiming, in their high-pitched little
voices, “ Oh ! tbcre’8 Pinafore, Pinafore !
Come and see Pinafore.”
The interior of this window was a minia
ture Standard Theatre. The gold and
crimson lace-draped boxes and r d
seats of the auditorium were filled with
an elegantly and fashionably attired
doll audience. A doll Pinafore company
stood on the deck of H. M. S. Pinafore.
The scene is where Sir Joseph sings “I’m
monarch of the sea.” “His 6istere, his
consius, and his aunts” stand in the well
known semi circle, with the sailors behind
them. There are Hebe, Josephine, Ralph
Rackstraw, Captain Corcoran, Dear Little
Bu»tercup, Diek Deadeye, and the little
Middy, none of them forgotten. All French
dolls jointed, and costumed in character.
The day following that ou which we firet
saw these windows we found Fourteenth
street jammed with carriages, and a canopy
covered the stairways of the railway station
10 ke**p tbe crowd from standing on them
and thus impede the progress of passengers.
Tbe patron saint of. the little folks reigns,
supreme in New York j'Jst now. You meet
him at every turn. ' You will see him stand
ing on a corner in his conical fur cap with
the snow powdering his long beard and fall
ing through the green branches of
the Christmas tree in his hand,
and the very next moment you
will greet him behind a window pane, his
jovial face smiling at you from between tbe
branching antlers of his reindeer. We saw
him a few days ago driving his team over
the snow-covered roof of a great doll house
fn-which the dear little girl and boy dolls
had gone to sleep with their overflowing
stockings beside them in one of the rooms
Old Santa Claus bad just freighted a heavi
ly laden Christmas tree in another apart
ment, while below stairs in the long dinintr
hall were tbe grown up dells seated at their
Christmas eve feast. Two colored waiters
in eorgeous livery were serving the guests
Even older people arc amused by the im
ported mechanical toys this season. One
of the most wonderful i3 seen in the
handsome window on Eighth avenue.
It represents a water and uiountain land
scape. In the distance arc mountains
clouds and ca3tles. A lovely river comes
winding into a blue-green sea, in which a
ship rucks. Trains of cars, with the smoke
curling from their engines, run at full 3peed
a-ros6 a bridge above the river in the fore-
around, and pass through a tunnel in the
rocks. A real clock ticks away in a tower.
A windmill is in motion on a high hill at the
left. At intervals two balloous flv above
the river and vaulsh in the mountains be
yond.
The imported Parisian dolls bring a full
trousseau with them, made up in tbe latest
stvJesnudof the most fashionable fabrics.
The most expen-ive of these dolls have
real cvelashe.-, and the wig is inserted hair
bj- hair ipto their waxen tcMps. Some of
the French dolls represent two-year-old tod
dlers, aud come in pretty French slip*,
white bibs, and with their short h dr cut in
a straight bang across thel* forehead .
The establishments of the artificial flower
dealers are charging placet to vl.-ifc just be
fore Christmas. Their decorations are
exquisite, and then you always find
out how Mrs. Daph is goir-t? to dres
on New Year’s, and how Mb\3 Blank
decided to wear white lilacs instead
of rosebuds. And. as this letter is to the
ladies and the children, it wol! interest them
to know that the ladies of New Yotk will
wear white roses, white liLce, and sprays of
pale pink eglantine on their New year re
ception dresiea.
A lvge amount of money has been spent
this year on the artificial flower decoration
of rooms. Oue wealthy lady spent four
hundred dollars on artificial flowers for her
parlors.
Among the pretty things ueed iu these
decorations is a white ground^glass balloon
supporting by silver chains a "parachute
of flowers, containing scarlet geranium,
mignonette, heliotrope, hyacinth, rose
buds and a variety of other
blossoms, intermingled with rare foliage
plants of every description. Call as and
ro-es growing from rustic urns and baskets
look at first sight so na’ural that you sur
prise yourself stooping to ln\\ ie their
fragrance. A mirror 1$ festooned with Ivy
and crownpd with grape leaves and droop
ing bunches of the purple fruit.
French bisque statuettes in their quaint,
bright, or characteristic costumes fill many
of the windows. 8ome oL-them a»* very
amusing. A few days ago we found some
snail shells put to a very artistic use. Each
shell was raised upon a terra-cotta pedestal,
and out of its mouth came, not a snail but
a bright little sprite, a rosy cheeked
peasaut maid with a basket of eggs on her
arm, a lazy boy blue with his hoiqi to his
lips, or fisherman with pole line, and
a comical smirk ojj his wrinkled face aa he
surveyed the fish just caught on his hook.
Horseshoes and jockey caps make thp
foundations for many lovely little Christmas
gifts. A crimsQu and ecru satin jockey cap
rearing upon a silver horseshoe flies up at
tbe touch of a little spring and discloses all
the articles needed for a lady’s work
basket—needles, scissors, penknife, bodkin,
pins—fastened around a red velvet cone that
bolds the thimble in a satin lined ca&e
on top.
But enough of the days before Christmas.
To-morrqw the little girls and boys will find
the dels and 6leds or bicycles just where
good St. Nicholas has left them. The sun
will shine brightly. The church bells
ring out tbe Christmas cbjgies, and all tbe
churches will be crowded. St. Patrick’s
Roman Catholic" Cathedral vyill no doubt
be packed to over flowing, for there will be
a splendid musical mass and the solemn
hiidh mass of Christmas', an$ the Cardinal in
his jewels and scarlet vestments wfll officiate
at the £l»or. TbpSabbath schoolchildren
throughout the city will have their Christ
mas trees in tbe afternoon or evening, and
th- re is no telling what else there will be.
But I hope to see more than enough to fill
another letter to the ladles and the little
people. Emily Prather.
