CHRISTMAS
GIFTS
\
THE holidays are practically
' here. The Christmas spir
it spirit is at the door. Gems
and jewels alone typify the
truth of the Christmas season.
Every Christmas tree in Geor
gia, every stocking in the
state, every home in Winder,
should have some present large
or small, insignificant or royal
—the size matters not at Xmas
—some present from this store
should sparkle for its message
of love on Christmas morn
under every roof.
COME AND INSPECT
AND SELECT---YOU
WILL FIND SOME
THINGTO SUIT.

A REAL SANTA CLAUS.
r “lANTA CLAUS. T hang for you
SBy the mantel stockings two—
One for me and one to go
To another boy I know.
There’s a chimney In the town
You have never traveled down.
Should you chance to enter there
You would find a room all bare;
Not a stocking could you spy.
Matter not how you might try.
And the shoes you'd find are such
As no boy would care for much.
•
In a broken bed you'd see
Someone just about like me
Dreaming of the pretty toys
Which you bring to other boys.
And to him a Christmas seems
Merry only In his dreams.
* All he dreams, then, Santa Claus,
* Stuff the stockings with, because
.. When it's tilled up to the brim
# I'll be Santa Claus to him!

Christina.) Not a Humbug.
“Christmas a hura'oug, uncle?” said
Scrooge’s nephew. “You don’t mean
that, I’m sure."
"I do,” said Scrooge. “Merry Christ
mas! Out upon Merry Christmas!
What’s Christmas time for you but a
time for paying bills without money, a
time for finding yourself a year older
and not an hour richer, a time for bal
ancing your books and having every
item in ’em through a round dozen of
months presented dead against you?
If 1 could work my will every idiot
who goes about with ‘Merry Christ
mas' on his lips should be boiled with
.his own pudding and burled with a
stake of holly through his heart. He
should!’’
II Is many years since the conversion
of old Scrooge from the error of his
ways by the three ghosts of Christinas
past, Christmas present and Christmas
yet to eortoe. It is many more years
since the first Christmas autliem rang'
triumphant in the bush of an expectant
midnight hour over the plains of Pal
estine. Ami yet. in spite of the years
and their message to the world, there
still exist those unfortunate souls who.
like the wretched Ebeuezer, eflll Christ
mas a humbug and lose sight of the
real spirit and joy <>f the day.
"Christmas a humbug!’’ one is moved
to exclaim with old Scrooge's indig
nant nephew. No, not a humbug, but
a feast of good cheer, of kindly iru-
pulses, of generous giving, if hearts are
opened and sympathies allowed free
play, if cynicism is barred and pessi
mistic philosophy banislred to the lim
bo of all unpleasantness. For the very
essence of the spirit of Christmas is
that of kindliness, of affection.
When the dame of the real spirit of
, Christmas is dim or altogether dead
there are a dozen ways of fanning it
into renewed life. So many things
combine to foster the Christmas at
mosphere, to make it. as Scrooge’s
! nephew said, “a kind, forgiving, clair
-1 itable, pleasant time, the only time in
the long calendar of the year when
■ men and women seem, by one consent.
! to open their slmtup hearts freely and
| to think of people below them as if
i they really were fellow passengers to
the grave and not another race of crea
tures bound on other journeys."
Connecticut women want a wo
man to escape th.e death Penalty,
not because site isn't a murderess,
but because she isn t a man.

Atlanta, Dee. 17 —Despite the
dryest autumn in. many year*
past, Georgia's magnificent new
power reoursecs developed from
Tallulah Falls have exceeded rath
er than fallen short of the origi
nal estimates, according to an in
teresting statement just issued by
TI. M. Atkinson, head of the Tal
lulah Falls water power develop
ment of the Georgia Railway
Rower Company.
Though the public has not yet
i come to realize the full import of
the fact, Georgia now lias water
power that can be compared only
to Niagra falls, and which wilL
mean more than any oth.re matec|
ial development of recent yeaji
in the future growth of indifip
