A negro cabing belonging to Mr.

The ladies desire to return thanks
through the Journal to Rev. W. A.
Farley and wife, for the use of the
hotel on Christmas day, and also to
the public for their liberal patronage.
The public dinner and supper netted
the sum of $42.35, which will be used
for the purpose previously specified
in the Journal.
Rev. C. I). Adams, who was
pointed to the charge of the Hamil
ton circuit, preached his first sermon
neie Sunday. He was greeted by a
full congregation, and held their res
pejtful attention to the close of the
Discourse. His sermon was wed re
ceived and made a good impression
upon his congregation.
Mr. Henry B. Harris one of the
most prominent citizens of Harris
county, died at his home at Waverly
Hall on last Sunday. He was a
member of the Baptist church and a
consistent Christian whose loss will
be deeply felt in the community.
He left nine children nearly all of
whom have reached years of maturity.
Many perhaps who were interested
in the financial success of the public
dinner and supper at the hotel, were
prevented from being present. If
there are any such who still desire
the privilege of assisting in the work
of repairing the Methodist church,
they can hand their contributions to
Mrs. Dr. T. J. Brooks who will re¬
port the same. Add to that chnrch
fund, and you will be happier.

Married at the brides mother,
West Point, by Rev. J. M. Callaway,
on December the 20th, Miss Ida C.
Lancaster and Mr. O. E.

tor the home of the groom bearing
the best wishes of a host of friends.
Before leaving for his new appoint¬
ment, Rev. W. D. McGregor gave
one dollar to be divided up into
nickles and distributed among Sun¬
day school scholars. Rev. C. D.
Adams added to this sum, and each
scholar who received it, has fifteen
cents as a basis upon which to trade.
They are expected to invest, and
trade upon this amount, and at
close of the year return it with
they have made upon the investment,
the same to be applied for missions.
We hope that each scholar who
received the one talent may work
diligently to increase it, and bring
ten at the close of the year.
The Journal had a pleasant
from Mr. Pat Weldon a few days ago.
He is a successful stock grower and
has a smokehouse full of home made
meat. He says that he boils corn
in water with strong ashes and pine
tops and feeds his hogs on it for a
week or ten days in the spring and
fall as a cholera prevetative. He has
never had a case of cholera in his
swine since h e began the practice
several years ago. “I was opposed
to tbe stoc k law” he remarked, “but
IJike it now, as my stock have done
better since I had to attend lo
diem, and I never had so many cows

Mrs. J. W. Mitchell left here on
Monday morning before Christmas,
t0 bc present at a family reunion at
her Other’s, Mr. A. W. Patrick of
Pleasant Hill. Her sister, who lives
Alabama had preceded her a few
days. Her father met heratlal
Motion and in returning home, about
three miles from that place, he was
suddenly struck with heart disease,
and fell dead out of the buggy. He
was conV eved home, and the family
reun j on which was expected to be so
pleasant, was converted into a house
mourning.
The deceased who had long suffer
e( j f rom h eart disease, seemed to
have a premonition that his end was
near> jpjd his wife before leav
ing home that it would be the last
time he would ever go to the depot
to meet one of his children. All the
circumstances attending his death
make it peculiarly sad, and his strick
en family have the sympathy of many
friends,
The Christmas Tree.
The Baptist church was a scene of
beauty on Thursday evening ot last
week. Busy hands were employed
all day in decorating the church, and
hanging presents on the beautiful
tree placed m position in front of
the chancel.
These various gifts were both use¬
ful and ornamental, and were fit to¬
kens of love and friendship.
The organist Mrs. Jno. Hudson
assisted by the choir, opened the ex¬
ercises of the evening with a song.
Mr. B. H. Walton then stepped to
the front and made a brief but appro¬
priate address, after which the work
of unburdening the tree of its abund¬
ance of procious gifts tegan. in Very the
few present were forgotten
distribution, and the absent pastor,
Rev. W. W. Arnold and his family
came in for a large share of useful
articles, which were shipped to him
the following day.
Among the most notable presents
were mysterious packages wrapped
in multitudinous folds of paper,
which were received by our hand¬
some gallants of uncertain age, and
which were probably opened in secret.
When the heavily laden tree was
divested of* all its ornamcets, Mr.
Walton, in behalf of the Sunday
School, presented Mrs. Jno. Hudson
with a lovely berry bowl, as a token
of appreciation of her faithful services
as organist during the past year.
This closed the exercises of a
most pleasant evening and the au¬
dience dispersed bearing their vari¬
ous treasures.

C'hrlitmM Note*.
Christmas was an ideal day. It
dawned as fair and lovely as a dream,
and “peace on earth, good will to
men,” seemed to pervade the pure
atmosphere like a benediction from
the Almighty. It was heralded by the
usual noisy demonstrations of joy,
but was not marred by street brawls,
or accident of afty kind. The gath¬
ering at the hotel to partake of the
elegant dinner prepared by the ladies
was like a pleasant family reunion
The guests wer^ united in one coni
raon purpose, and the satisfaction of
contributing to a noble cause, lent
cheerfulness to every countenance,
and a feeling of good will to every
heart. In no better way could the
day have been spent and we venture
to assert that all who contributed
have been more than repaid for
every cent it cost them. Virtue Is
its own reward.
