Christmas Spiriti
. T—— T A e ———
Christmas! What a word to con- |
jure with! How it draws out of
the past, the great expectations oti
childhood. The happy memories
are made tender by them. The
emotions of good will are madei
vibrant in every heart. It will be
well to remember that it begani
with a baby in Bethlehem. It
touched the shepherds of the field
and the Wise Men of the East. It
cheers the palace and the peasant
hut. It gives new glory to the
world. The glories of the day
came from the rich character of
Jesus. In the grass and the lily
He saw the glory of God. In the
garden, He fought the battles of
life.
It is but natural that the flow
ers which spoke to Jesus of the
Father's love have been used as
ornaments in our churches and in
our homes at Christmas. We have
used them to garnish the graves
and rob it of its despair.
The Garden Club of Athens
' sensing this spirit will decorate
the home of Mrs. T. H. McHatton
on December 12th for their meet
ing. There is a fine intuition to
cohp]e this Christmas meeting
with the joyous sprit of the. home
andq the decorations associated
with Christmas time.

lots from Oakland, Monday, for

The exact location of the luckless
adventurers was not known, SOS

within 200 miles of Oahu, but Ulm
said he was off hig course and

Twenty-four naval seaplanes were

the first anniversary of prohibi
tion repeal. = 1
Since repeal went into effect—
December 5, 1933—Georgia, from‘
the sidelined, has seen 14 states
legislate themselves wet to join
24 other states in the parade. |
But not without unrest.
Only ' :Monday -the ' combined
force for the retention of prohibi
tion claimed a victory over Mayor
James L. Key of Atlanta in his
move to open a municipal-opera-‘
ted liquor store. He carried thel
proposal to the floor of the Atlan-'
ta city council, but it was rejected
by a vote of 27 to 9. ;
His proposal created no little
furore in Georgia. It came at thel
time the North Georgia conference
of the Methodist Episcopal church
Sclth, was meeting in conventioui
here. The conference urged Mayor!
Key to drop his proposal, brand
ing it as “open anarchy.” |
Atlanta pastors leveled a bar
rage at it from their pulpits, and
cther anti-repeal leaders over the

the fight. .
A n .I.Xiabama court also ruled
the federal excise tax was consti
