Thanks From “Old
Folks’ Home”—
“On Christmas Ere the inmates of
the “Old Folks’ Home" were given
number of most acceptable presents,
which were a great surprise to these
old people. They said that God
have sent His angels to them and they
got down on their knees and prayed
a blessing on those who had
good to them, and they feel that
they can never got through thanking
who thought of them and
their Christmas and the good things
they brought to them.
Aunt Lola Wright, the head ot the
Old Folks' Home, delivered the gifts
The names of the old folks who were
so pleasantly surprised and generous
ly remembered were: old Aunt Can
dace Kilpatrick, Rose Hardy, Nlcey
Hills, Mahals Boyd, old Uncle Billy
Brunner, the blind man, and Uncle
Ben Lee.
Mrs. W. M. Singletary was one ol
the faithful women who helped to get
up this surprise for these old people
and they want to thank her for her
thought of them."
Laying Asphalt On
Broad Street—
The work ot laying the asphalt
crete surface for the Broad street
lng began this morning. The mixture
was placed on the concrete base be
ginning at th’e brick pavement and
by noon about fifty feet of the entire
width of the street had been laid and
rolled. The Work was most Interest
ing and was watched by a number ol
visitors who saw what was going on.
It Is hoped that the work will be com
pleted In twenty days. The pari
paved with the asphalt will probably
be opened for traffic a short time af
ter each block has been completed, as
it takes very little time In this sort ol
weather for It to become sufficiently
hardened to be able to stand traffic.
Just Three Mors, Days For
New Year Resolutions—
Just three more days left of 1922.
and It Is time for everybody to begin
thinking over their resolutions for the
new year and just what they are plan
ning to give up or do another year.
Probably there are few persons who
do not have some feeling about the be
ginning of another year, or who do not
yesolve to be a Httle different In some
Way. Begin t>6W and fake stock ol
yourself and decide what you are go
lng to do. Of course many a man de
cides to give up smoking and really
does for a few days anyhow, until he
gets used to the new year, and many a
woman also decides upon giving up
some pet weakness and keeps the res
olution just about as long. It is a good
thing to think about anyway and may- j
be someone at least may stick to it
Banks to Have
Melon Cutting—
The banks are all preparing to do a
little melon cutting for the first of
the year and the stockholders will
receive some dividends with which to
pay up some of their Christmas bills.!
These dividends come at a most op-,
portune time for what, with paying'
and insurance and then buying -
things for Christmas, everybody nearly■

Cold Today and 1
Getting Colder—,
Cut off your water tonight, take in
your box plants and protect your vege-'
tables, if you happen to have any, for
the cold Is on the way. The wind to
day has been sweeping In from the
northwest and bringing with It the
first cold weather of the season and.
there is liable to be some freezing'
temperature by tomorrow morning, at}
least that la the way It looks this
morning when this article Is being
written, though the Weather Bureau
may have regular advices which, it Is
hoped, may modify things a lltt'e. At
any rate it is colder than It has been
and nobody seems to be enjoying it,
particularly because It Is raw also.
