A few days ago we mailed our
delinquent,patrons statements ol
balances due us tor subscription
to the CoVRtBR and so far only a
few have come to our relief. Those
who failed to heed the notice
should remember that the money
we are asking for was earned
three or lour years ago|and should
have been paid, long since.
When we see a person is disposed
to pay when he can we are nat
urally more lenient than when
he treats all appeals with silent
contempt. We have learned of a
few “who became real wralhy
when the postmasters {presented
them' with the aforesaid stato
tneuts. Strange, indeed, that a
single glance at the amount of
one’s indebtedness makes him
mad, when we have been looking
over our unpaid subscription lists
fur many mouth* without utter
ing an unkind word to those in
arrears. “Hard times 1“ Yes,
but pray tell us if “times” are any
harder ou you than on a pair ot
country editors? Now, all who
do not settle in full, or make sat
isfactory arrangements, by the
15lh day of January, 1880, will
most assuredly be dealt with as
the law direct*. No joke.

The Murphy Bulletin, alter a
quiet slumber of lour or five
weeks, has again came to light
with its accustomed volume of
news.
- .—
On December the 23rd, a ter
rible explosion occurred at Fern
dale Fit, Wales, in which seven
ty-five bodies were buried under
(tie debris.
.-4S* ■ - ■■
I The Gainesville Eagle, and the
Southron were both completely
destroyed in the recent lire in
that city; but the Eagle came to
the front with a bright sheeti
while tho Southron having no
insurance is suspended at least
temporarily until its delinquent
subscribers pty up. The unfor
tunate calamity of Mr. Lawshe
appeals to the honesty and can
dor of all his oreditors. Fay up,
and relieve him at once.
The attorneys for the Marietta
and North Georgia Railroad,
Messrs. Hoke Smith, of Atlanta,
and Clay & Biair, of Marietta,
have taken anew turn on the
bill of injunction filed by the old
stockholders, and have had the
bill transferred to the United
States court* before Judge Me-
Cay, Judge Fain passing the
transferring order. The present
owners of the Marietta & N. G.
R. R., and also the owners ot the
mortgage bonds aie non-residents
of the State. The attorneys for
the Road have also filed a bill
asking that the old stockholders
and their attorneys be enjoined
and perpetually .restrained from
further interferring with the Ma
netta and North 'Georgia Rail
road, its operations, business and
construction, and also ask for
thirty thousand dollars damage
for injury done. Thoy also al
lege in the bill tl.at;the oldistock
holders transferred tbeir stock
voluntarily to the present com
pany and some of the stockhold
ers never paid a cent on their
stock, while many others who
transferred their stock and who
bold this old stock received it by
convict hire furnished by the
Slate, and they further claim that
mortgage bonds on tbs roads
have prior claim to any demands
of the old stockholders who did
not transfer their stock. —Mariet-

OHBISTMAS TREE
Whit* Path's Celebration of the
25th of December.
On lasi Friday evening occur
red one of lhe most enjoyable oc
casions to the little people and
even to (he older people that has
mnrpired in quite a while at
White Path Springs. It is due to
the energy and kindness of Mrs.
W. F. Robertson, and the many
good people of liie Second Rap
list Clinch of Atlanta that many
little hearts ia| e I with joy at
the sight ot a beaulilul and weli
arranged Christmas Tree loaded
down with many nice presenls.
It was known that ihe tree
would not be opened till one
o'clock in the evening; but peo
ple began to pour in early in the
luornig, and by one the crowd
was estimated by many to be
three or four huudred. At oue
o’clock the crowd marched from
the hotel down to the store house
where the tree was. Mr. E. W.
Coleman was first introduced aud
made a lew remarks. lie gave a
short history of Christmas and ex
plained to the little peopie what
it was lor. He said Christmas
was a celebration of the birth of
Christ, and was instituted bv the
Decretal letters af Pope Teles
pbnruß about the year 188 A. D.;
but all traces were lost till about
18C A. D. The time of observ
ing the least was irregular—some
observing it in April, others iu
May. it is very certain that the
25 of December was not the birth
ol Christ. The Germans used to
hold their great Yule-feast on
the 25 of December in commem
oration of the return of the fiery
sun until later on when they be
gan to worship Christ, they kept
up the same limn in celebrating
the birtii ot Christ that they did
the Yuio feast In the 4th century
Fope Julius I ordered that the
time of the birth of Christ be ex
amined into f and it whs decided
to leave He celebration on the 25
of December. It matters not
wh*u Christ was born, Cbtistir.ai
ie the time we celebrate his birth,
&ad how foolish a great many
peeple oolebrate il! A great
many make a mock of Christmas
l>y getting drunk, fighting, get
ting into trouble and doing bad
m general. The lime that every
body should bn doing right, a
great nany pick to do the worn.
He spoke at some length upon
the importance of Sunday
Schools, aud hoped that the time
would soon come when there
would be Sunday schools in every
community in the county.
Col. M. M. Sessions was thon
introduced who spoke upon the
importance of Suuday schools
and urged upon the people to es
tablish Suuday schools, and train
tbeir children from the begin
ning to be good. His speech
was interesting and listened to
with patience. Then followed
Rev, C. M, Ledbetter who made
an interesting speech. Want of
space keeps us from saying more
about his talk. Suffice to say it
was highly enjoyed by the crowd.
Then followed the distribation of
the presents which took Rev.
Ledbetter and Mr. Frank Rob
ertson about two hours to call.
Mrs. Robertson certainly de
serves great credit for the inter
est she has taken in the children
of that section. Loaded arms,
sparkling eyes and bappy faces
showed that many a little heart
returned thanks to her and the
good people of Atlanta who
helped her. Her object is to
build % church and school house
there, and we hope her great
success. The Courier is always
ready to help in any such enter
prise.
The anti-prohibitionists of Ful
ton county have been set down
on by the people and by the
courts. The injunction filed be
fore Judge McCay has been dis
solved by him ; Judge Clarke of
the Superior court has also dis
missed the order restraining Or*
dinary Calhoon from declaring
the result, and row they propose
to carry it to the Supreme court
of Georgia where they will no
doubt meet with the some re
verse. Whiskey is dying a hard
death, but the people say “it
must go,” and this effort ou the
part of lit* win*turn to „v. r
