THE CHRISTMAS TREE WAS
A SUCCESS
On Tlmmdwy last n* rain etas
id lnn|: eitoafh for ihe commit
lee appointed to seletrl Iree fo il*
fhe work allotted llrera* Flie
tree was a hvaiMiful r yonng white
pine, and anevvered well llie pur
pose for which it was selected.
Friday morning came on nod
the planting of the tree was next
m order. For a-time the planting
committee seemed sluggish, but
finally they wcirt lo work with
untiring energy, and in a very
almri time their work was liand
aomely Jlttlsbad. The day peace
fully passed away and was num
Hercd with those of the past.
When (Saturday moriNiig. had
appeared,. to the great surprise
of all', the stm was shining iu nil
ifs brilliancy, and the Ire* and
happv people were rejoicing that
the good time was coming on ro
fast. The pleasant countenances
of the many, both young and old,
seemed to be praising flit great
Ruler of all, that they had
been thus spared to turn anew
loaf in the vast Book of Memory,
and realign, of a truth, ''Christ
mas is coming/’ About eight
o'clock the committee to dress
tree met a-nd began the operation,
which was completed r in elegant
style, in low hours.
The tree selected, planted and
dressed, the large crowd assem
bled and sealed, fie?. S>. P_ Brok
tiw then proceeded to begin tlio
services by invoking the bless
inga of God upon tlio congrega
tion, State and Nation. The next
on the programme was nwi-sic, in
stumculnl and vocal, followed by
an address from Rev. S. I*. Brok *
aw. , Uo/dtuiued that lit wa not
unexpectedly that he appeared
on that occasion, but that it was
unpreparedly. The congregation
did not receive any excuse, but
listened alien lively to Ins dis
course, which was based, mainly,
upon the words, ‘‘Wliat is Christ
mas If” liis speech was not
lengthy, but pointedly, lie ab
horred the idea of celebrating
the birth of a Savior with guns
and firo crackers and gave his
opinion as to whether or not the
25th of December is tire birthday
of Christy by saying I hat it was
natural to suppose that) the Sa
vior did net come toearth during
a cold and dreary season of the
year, but to the reverse, in the
spring time with the flowers.
Music was again in order, after
which a call for an address from
Rev. N. L. Osborn. He being
absent, speeches from others
were asked but none received.
Again the organ, with angelic
tone, broke forth in adoration to
the Master,then a call for a speech
from Rev. England, and as he
was not present, calls, as before,
were made for other speeches.
No other speeches made,, music
was next on hand.
Now came the time so Jong and
anxiously awaited, the- distribu
tion of presents. One hour was
made use of m unveiling the tree.
All were well pleased with the
presents received, and the music,
which was conducted by Prof. M.
%}. Bates. The multitude peace
fully and quietly walked dewn
stairs, feeling that tbey were am
ply rewarded for having attended
the services, and thus it was that
last scene of the drama.

Messrs. Editors:
It it almost unnecessary to re
ply to Mr. Henley, in regard to
liis misrepresentation at Betbauy
But as he still misrepresents I will
askthe attention of the readers
to some of bis mistakes, lie yet
says that I did not say, ‘That it
was no barm for members of the
church to still.” But that- I pro
dtteed tome argument that it was
no harm, lie gives what 1 said
and says il must have had refer
ence to the stilling question, or
In the exclusion of McMahan, for,
says he, these acre the subjects
that were under consideration,
on that ocralion. lie has forgot
it was on a Inner si nrension.
Why will he draw upon Ins imag
illation f Why won I he tell thing
just ns they are? The renders of
the Courier have seen the weak
ness of his statement sigainst me,
that it is with out foundation.
1 am a Baptist Minister, cloth
ed with full authority from the
ehiiliti ,to do lln- sun. oi a Miii
; liter. 1 belong to dial sect that
; everywhere is spokon against.
S Mr. lienly professes lo belong
to the mine. But lie lias sxled
I and associated wdti its enemies
so long liinl lie lias retrograted
| from the fuilli, and tue salt lias
lost its savor
Let us first notice his writing
for the l’ont ier ; he ws employ
ed by Mr. Coinb* to edit (be
Pickens county department. It
was supposed lie would repre
sent the people in general. But
lie did not, but selected a few of
liis favorites. lie would tell
about Col. Simmons being gone
lo Atlanta, and Col. Hiiniiions
hnd not got back from Atlanta,
and that Mr. Simmons had come
from Ludville to spend a few
days at Jasper, and that Mr. Tale
would make forty bushels of
corn to the acre, and how large a
watermelon Mr. Tate had raised,
and Air. Ed Lening one of the
best (?) men of the county, and of
the Camp meeting, especially
Bethel, which was a Methodist
Gamp meeting, and of the good
eating and showed he was a loaf
eater, and told of the good ser
mons he heard there, and also of
Miller Willi-, who, lie said, s’as
the eighth wonder of the world.
This has been the style of the
celebrated wi iter of Pickens coun
ty. lie seems to want to set up
a few only, and 1 suppose he
wanted to pull some down, and
made a lung at me, with the
same wepon the Pharisees did at
Uie Savior. They also accused
the ’ Apostles ol drunkeness
when they preached. Mr. Hen
ley comes at me in like manner,
and says 1 argued that it was no
harm for church members to still,
and yet don’t know whether I am
in favor of it or not. He begs
me to get off Ute fence and let
him know where I stand. I urn
not nil the Baptist, lie has tried
to set back. There is Bro. Alien
and Bro. Woriord, he butted at a
few years ago. The sooner Bap
tist gets rid of 6uch men, the bet
ter it. will be for the church.
He refered to my private sec*
rotary and says I told him to
write, and to Put a Revenue
Stamp thereon. My notiou it
would help Mr. Henley to put a
Revenue StamD on him ; people
would then know his true capac
ity and worth. But the law does
not require a long stamp ou a
little article, about like a box of
Tutts Pill or a Match box will do
Mr. Henley. He lets on as
though he has got more proof;
if 1 had not rather begged tha
question. I have not begged the
questtou by no means. Let him
bring forward liis proof. Per-
Itans he can get some more such
proof as he hns already got, from
such Baptist as he is. It does
wrot set me back any ; 1 don’t
preach anything but what I am
willing for the people to hear and
know. I don’t ask Mr. Henley
any odds; I don’t fear him,
though he has rubbed his back
against the walls of the Agri
cultural College at Dahlonega,
and has come to Jasper and has
put up, he says, a High School.
A former student oi bie, told me
that his first session in the segd
enoy was the largest. By that it
seems to be going down Instead
of rising, typical to a young wasp
larger when it wa* hatched tbau
when U got grown.
He says if I would stop my
month, I wonld stop the biggest
hog hole in Pickens county. I
don r t wonder at that; a man who
atrutte around such a place as
Jasper.like Mr. Henley, no doabt
but what he thinks the country
people eat a heap of meat, be
cause he gets so little. I am a
little sorry for the man ; I have
got a few ditches to clean out.
If he isout of meat, I will give
him job if be wants it.

The Son for 1882 will make its Hfr
teenth annual revolution under Mr
present management, shinning, as ip
va ays, for big and little, mean and gri
cious, contented and Unhappy, R-puJf
licau and Democrat, depraved im>
virtuous, intelligent and obtuse. Ti
Sun’s light is for mankind and wouunjt
kind of every sort; but its genu*
warmth is for the good, while it
hot discomfort on the blistering back*
of the persistently wicked.
The Sun was i newspape
of a tn-w discarded many o'
the firms, of tbe su
perfluous words and phrases of aocieti
jonrealLm. It undertook to report Itt
a fresh, succinct, unconventional
all the news of the world, omittiwg noj
event of human interest, and eon.menl 1
ing upon affairs with the fearlraenvew
of absolute independence. The success!
of thu exp< riment was tue saceoas efl
The Son. It effected a perman-njf
change in theßtyle of Ameneao new?*
papers. Every important journal ay
tablished in this country in the doun
years past has been modelled after
The Sun. Every important joara&i
already existing has been modifies and
bettered by the foroc of Tax SUN’e cl
am plo.
Tug Sun of 1882 will be the mmd
outspoken, truth telling, and interest

By a liberal use of the means which,

We shall print all the news, putting V.
into reliable .shape,' and measuring 4m.
importince, not by the iraditiotrai
yardstick, bat by ils real interest to the
people. Distance from Printing House
Square is not the first condition with
The Sun. Whenever anything hap
pen worth reporting wo get the par
ticulars, whether it happens in Brook
lyn or in Bokhara.
In politics we have decided opiniem
and are accustomed to express them in
language that can be understood. W*i
say what we think about men and)
events. That habit is the only see re*’
of Tits Sun’s political course.
The Weekly Sun gathers into eight
pages the best matter of the seven
