CHRISTMAS NEARLY HERE.

The Ladles are out Shopping—The
Little Folks Anxious and Ex
pectant—The Men are
- Happy Despite the
Hard Times.
Christmas is nearly here again, and a
bright smile is on all the little folks fa
ces and this of course makes the pa
rents happy despite the hard times.
The ladies have nil beet) out for sev~
eral weeks buying up the pretty pres
ents which will bring gladness to so
many hearts.
And then the students they have
bought presents, these unhappy mor
tals have gone down in their pockets
and purchased gifts for their lady
friends.
The young ladies have remained at
home making beautiful gifts with their
own sweet bands, a l of which will
cause some one’s heart to beat faster.
Verily it is a time of fladness.
-The men, can they be happy at Bnch
a time, can such an expensive luxury
make happiness. Yes even they are
happy, and although hard times are up
on them, the sweet, childish prattle of
the young opeg the. gather around
their knees and talk of Santa Claus,
brings bright smiles into their faces
and casts out all business troubles for
the time being.
Yes, Cbrismas time is a time of glad
ness for all yet there are within the
gates of this beautiful city those whom
this glad time willjflnd in poverty and
in the cold, but the good people of Ath
ens, they wjll see to the comfort of those

happy Sand prosperous Christmas.
N* xc Wednesday morning the city
will be wild with the happy .Christinas
times despite the fact that the students
will be at home, and thjs will go to show
that the students are no.t all the life of
the city. ..
But while you are in the midst
of all this pleasure do Dot for

next lot, there may be some one
suffering for the wants of life, and also
do not forget that by helping this class,
by acting the Santa Claus to them you
will gain a present for more to be
sought than any of those now seen and
admired in the city.
Athens has always given an eager ear
to the requests of this character, and
we do not doubt but that her citizens
will look toward the comfort of the poor
this year.
Then the little ones, we know the
times are hard yet Christmas comes but
once a year—you have had yours and
received pretty and costly presents,
now you are able to give to (hose tread-
ding in your footsteps.

that Mr. Byrnes filed forged satisfac

piece of real estate valned at $30,000,
and then raised $28,000 by issuing other
mortgagee, the property all the time
belonging to Mrs. Goodrich. Mr.
Byrne* pleaded not guilty and waived
the reading of the indictment. His
bond was fixed at $9,000 and the trial
set for Feb. 15. Asxed to give his ver

Too mnch cannot be said in behalf of
Dr. White’s admirable scheme to con
duct Farmers’ Institutes through Geor
gia under the auspices of the state Ag
ricultural college.
The following strong editorial from
the Macon Telegraph shows how deeply
concered middle and southern Georgia
are in the movement.
The new work undertaken by the
State College of Agriculture deserves
the encouragement of every good citi
zen. Tbe Farmers’ Institutes should
be largely atteuded. Tney are capable
of doing great good.
The ultra cooversatism of our far
mers is a olog to their progress. There
is hardlv a trade iu which the pro
cesses of production have not been rev
olutionized in tbe lost few years. In
all of them men are constantly on the
watch for new processes, that will
cheapen or improve- Nobody admits
that tbe processes in use cannot be im
proved upon, or that improvement is
pot to be desired. The mao wbo makes
cloth kuyws that tbe most costly ma-
Ohine in his establishment, no matter
what tbe amount of money paid for
ft, is the one that > turns
out the least or the poorest product.
Men in other departments of prod uctive
industry have the same knowledge, and
there is a constant race going on be
tween them for tbe best machinery and
the newest, most ecomonical processes.
Those who win the race make most of
the money (hat is made in the business,
if not all of ifi.
Bnt nothing of the kind is seep in the
business of farming. Here and there a
single man is alive to the possibilities of
bis calling, and Strives intelligently to
realize them, fit is generally succeeds,
and where he conspicuously successful
achieves a reputation# large enough to
be called fame. Meu see dimly that he
is a public benefactor. But the great
mass of those engaged in agricultural
pursuits seem to think that farming is a
business of wbioh the processes have
reached perfection and cannot be fur
ther improved. They regard with a
mild, good-natured contempt the man
who experiments, who tries to do new
things in farming.
Tbe same theory, if applied in the
conduct of any other business, would
soon lead to bankruptcy. Tbe business
would atop because, in a short time,
tbe cost of production woulfl be, rela
tively, so high that the goods .could not
be sold, ft does not have that effect|in
the oams of agriculture, because compe
tition does not; oonie so directly to bear
and because farming is a business that
must go on. {Some kind of a living can
always be made at it But it does bave
Abe effect of wiping out all profit and
reducing the living that may be won to
the barest. Progress is but another
word for change, when used in this
connection, aud if men refuge to change
ola methods for new and better ones
they will make no progress.
The Farmers’ Institutes will fight tbe
ultra conservatism from which the ag-
icultural interest suffers. They will
raise tbe moral standing of the
farmers’ business by show
ing that success depends not on
the slavish following of traditions but
•n the intelligence cud activity of tbe
individual farmer—that iu (bis busi
ness, as in all others, the man with the
most brains, pluck and energy wiil win
most of the world’s goodB and tbe
world’s honors.
There is plenty of room for this kind
of work. The time has been in this
country when farming was tbe first, tbe
most desirable of all callings It is be
coming, iu popular estimation, tbe last
and least desirable. Many of the men
engaged in it, if not most of them,
would prefer to do something else.
This is not a healthy state ot feeling.
It grows, perhaps, out of tbe depressed
condition of agriculture. Men do not
'ike to be identified with failure. Tbe
institutes can do much, if properly aid
ed, to change this feeling.

No one probahly celebrates the glad
Christmas holiday in a more peculiar
way than do the Shaken, those strange
vet industrious celibates who wer a
brought over from England considerably
over a century ago by the good old
"Mother Ann Lee." There are several
colonies of these queer people In the
United States, and all enjoy the same
pleasures, if there can be snoh a thing in
their Uvea, and all believe in the
doctrines. Yean ago these honest bnt
misguided people discovered that the
Scriptures directed nil men and women
to live apart They believe that be
cause tbe Messiah did not marry it is a
sin for them to do so, and consequently
there is bnt one love in their lives, and
that a love of religion.
The 8hakers have a manner and style
peculiarly their own and worship God
in every breath. Believing as they do
in the Messiah, they think it a duty to
celebrate the birth of the Saviour, and
their sorvioe on Christmas day is most
beautiful and impressive.
The remark “still as a Shaker meet
ing" has often been heard, and those who
have attended a meeting of these devout
people know that a word is never spoken
g til (h@ “spirit moves," and sq it goes
m Sunday to Sunday until Christmas
comes, which with them means a day of
the greatest devotion. The day to them
does not bring the joy* pleasures and
dissipations of tha world, there ia no giv
ing of gifts, no belief In St. Nloholas, no
Christmas tree and no pleasures, in foot
nothing bnt prayer. No preparations
are made for toe glad festivaL
The morning before Christmas the
celibates move (oward (he little church
)n couples. The men go by themselves
*nd dress in toe conventional black, with
broad brimmed hats and gaze straight
before (hem. They never smile, for to
smile Is * sin in their belief. The wom
en follow the men, and wear Shaker bon
nets of yellow straw and gray gowns,
and look prim and quaint. A largo
white handkerchief covers the chest in
primitive simplicity. Quietness reigns
throughout the day, never a wind being
spoken. In fact the spirit does not
move, and toe people stand there for
hours like statues. At sundown they
go to the dormitories and retire.
Christmas morning they go to the
ohurch again and pass the holiday in
prayer, song and'religions glorification.
Tbe? stanfi perfectly quiet and nmt» un
til the ^spirit moves',” when each one
giTee his or her experience, for on this
day above all they delight in testifying
(0 (heir great and complste happiness.
A Shaker church Is entirely different
from the ’’world’s people’s" church. In
stead Of seats or pews, as are usually
seen in churches, there ia a big open
Space, and the men and women range
themselves on opposite sidea of the room.
One of the elders makes a short address.
Then all is quietness. After about half
an boor a dozen or so of the yonnger
people, either male or female, or perhaps
both, enter the center of the space and
begin » solemn march.
The Shakers sing beautifully and their
tunes are remarkably pretty, sprightly
and quick in character, and have a won
derfully fascinating air. The rich, deep
hass voices harmonize perfectly with the
clear, sweet and high tenors and so
pranos. Almost irresistibly the feet and
hands of all commence keeping time
With rythmical beats. Soon the entire
body of Shakers are moving around the
ringers. As the music Increases the
men and women circling around be
come bo imbued with the beating of the
notes that their bodies swing and rock,
their feet daucaand shuffle, their hands
and arms swing and beat the air, all in
perfect keeping with the music. This
grows more intense until they all drop
from sheer fatigue. Quietness again
reigns for nearly an hour, when toe
same performance is gone over, and then
over again, nntil sundown, when all re
pair to the dormitories to enjoy the only
meal In the year in each other’s com
pany, for on every other day the men
and women eat by themselves.
The Christmas dinner of the Shakers
Is not like the Christmas dinner of toe
world’s people. There are no wines, fruits
nor delicacies. They have turkeys,
ducks, chickens and plain bread and
butter and vegetables of every kind,
well cooked and in the greatest abun
dance. The women occupy one side of
tbe table, the men the other. The elder

For about thirteen rears 1 bave been troubled
with eczema or some other cutaneous d/Bease
which all remedies failed to cure, bearing of
tbe Cuticura Remedies, I resolved to give
them a trial. I followed the directions careiully,
and it affords me much pleasure to say that be
fore usingtwo ■ oxes of the CuTicuFA,fonrcakes
of Ci'ticuha Soap, and one bottle of Cuticcba
Resolvent, I was entirely cuied. In addition
to my own case, mv baby boy, then about five
months old, was Si fferi g with wbat 1 supposed
to be the same disease as mine, to such an ex
tent ti.at his heal was coated over with a solid
scab, from which there was a constant flow of
pus which was sickening to look upou, besides
two large tumor-like kernel- on the back of his
head. Thai ks to your wonderful . uticura
Remedies, his scalp is perfectly well, and the
kernels have hcen scattered so that there is only
one little place by his left ear, and that is heal
ing nicely. Instead of a coating of scabs he
has a fine coat of hair much better than that
destroyed by the disease. I would that the
whole world ot sufferers from skin and blood
diseases kne - tbe value of yourCunccKA Rem

used any other toilet soap in my house since I

should I fr.il to spook well of and recommend

that you may live long, and do others the same
