Christmas Trees
For The Children
The Christmas tree entertain
ments by the different Sunday
Schools of the city have played
no small part in the gayeties of
the week. On Tuesday night, en
tertainments were given at the
Cnoristian and First Methodist
Churches and at both places there
was a large beautifully decorated
tree, laden with toys, candies and
fruits for the children and in fact
some useful remembrance for
every member of the Sunday
schools.
By a strange coincidence, both
the Christians and Methodists had
prepared the same cantata, ‘‘The
Star and The Song,” and reither
one knew of the other’s plans un
til it was too late to change. How
.ever, the cantata was rendered
;most splendicly by the children of
ibot,h Sunday Schools and added
‘miuch to the pleasure of the even
ing,
An interesting feature at the
Christian Church was the three
act Dialogue, ““The Empty Stock
ing,” acted by Misses Marie Clark
and Iva Burton. Atthe Methodist
a very beautiful drill was carried
out by the young ladies of the
Sunday School, under the di
rection of Mrs. Burr Stokoe. Mrs.
L, A, Turner and Miss Lobingier}
directed the exercises at the Chris
tian Church. ‘
The United Brethern church al
so gave a Christmas tree last night
and distributed numberless giftsj
to the children. The entertain
ment was characterized by recita
tions, songs and so forth, {
Mr. Raymond Davis acquitted
himself verv creditably as old
Santa at the Christian Church.
Mr. Burr Stokoe at the Methodist
and Mr, Clifford Miller at the U.
B. Church, |
The Biptist Sunday School had
no tree this Christmas, but instead
the members all met at the Church
Friday rigrt and contributed fruits |
candies and other niceties for those
of the congragation who were un
able to buy such things.
Is Co-Receiver.
Atlanta, Dec. 24.—E. T. Lamb,
recently appointed general man
ager of the Atlanta, Birmingham
& Atlantic Railroad, today was
named co-receiver of the railroad,
to act with Henry M. Atkinson,
former president of the system.
Mr. Lamb will succeed S. L.
Schoonmaker, Boston, resigned.
The change is effective January
Ist. It is stated that the change
will not affect the operation of
the railroad.

How Fitzgerald
Speni Christmas
The Christmas celebration in
Fitzgerald was sane and conserva
tive in every respect, Everybody
seemed to be imbued with the real
Christmas spirit of ‘‘peacz on earth
and good will toward all men,” and
sll day long the principal thorough
fares of the city were teeming
with smiling faces. If there were
any sad hearts in the bounds of
the city, the sorrow was securely
locked within, for to the casual
observer, everybody was seeming
ly happy.
All the little kiddies were up
with the first indicatiors of day
light and were busy til good dark
yesterday afternoon, admiring
their Santa Claus presents and en
joying themselves to the fullest
}extent. Many who were unable
to give their children the kind of
Christmas they wanted were assist
ed by the different charitable or
ganizations of the city.
The cisplay of fireworks was
not near so marked as on previous
‘occasioné, and up to date we have
not heard of any fatalities result
ing from explosives, The day was
celebrated in various and sundry
| ways—many of the business men
were 1n the woods from early dawn
to dark with a dog and gun, while
others preferred to stay at home
[and help the children enjoy their
toys. Quite a number of visitors
were in the city yesterday and en
tertaining in an informal way was
a feature of the celebration,
