The Christmas season, more than
any other, brings sc attered families
into re-union. Though great distance
may seperate them, there is a tie that
binds the hearts of one family whieh
draws them together. “Blessed be
the tie that binds,’’ and may the
love that lights their lives grow
stronger until “their souls are lost in
love in a brighter world above.’’
The New York SI ore came very
near burning Christmas night from
a skyrocket which was carelessly
shot through one of the upstairs
front windows about 9 o’clock. The
rocket after entering the window
went the entire length Of the second
floor and exploded in a pile of paper
near the back stairs. The fire was,
however, seen in time so be put out
without damage.
A negro fired a rock into the Geor.
Midland freight cab near Concord
yesterday morning. Conductor Mc¬
Intyre promptly uncoupled from the
train and put on the brakes, the
train hands jumped out and prompt¬
ly overtook and collared the rascal.
At his commitment trial he said he
only threw at the train for fun and
didn’t expect to hit it. He will proba¬
bly get a long time for fun in the
chaingang.
Col. J. J. Hunt happened to a pain'
fal accident yeeterd ey morning. He
lmd started to town in his buggy

when one of the wheels came off
throwing hhn out and causing the
horse to run away, and giving the
Col. a badly sprained ankle. After
tho accident he mounted a wugon
and i ode back home and found the
tap that held the wheel on, in the
yard, right in the spot where the
Leggy was hitched up. Mr. Hunt
wus in town in tho afternoon on u
pair of crutches. The hurt is painful
but not serious and the Col. can con¬
gratulate himself on his escape from
more serious injury. The buggy was
not damaged as the horse was caught
a Bhort distance from where he
started.

Christinas Shooting.
On Wednesday afternoon Will J ones
and young Stanford, operatives at
the Kincaid M’f’g Co.’s Mills, were
riding in a buggy near the factory,
when another operative, Charlie Cun¬
ningham, hollowed whoa at the mule
and he stopped. This was repeated
the second time when Will Jones drew
a pistol and fired five shots, one of
them going through the cravat of
Cunningham and lodging in the
right side of the neck, making a
slight wound. Dr. Kelley was called
and while dressing the wound Cun-
nighham opened hfs hand which had
been closed on something and he
found that he had the bloody bullet
in his hand, having caught it in the
excitement without noticing it. It is
supposed that the muscles of the
neck threw it out just at the time his
hand went .up to the spot after feel¬
ing the shot. It was a narrow es¬
cape and there is no doubt but that
the thick cravat that Cunningham
wore saved his life as the pistol was
a 38 calibre and the distance was
short. There had been no previous
misunderstanding between the men
that any one knew of. They appear¬
ed to be the best of friends. Jones
boarded with Cunningham and says
that, he only fired in fun and had no
intention of hitting him. The wound¬
ed man is doing well and will be
around in due course of time. Jones
left immediately after tfae shooting
and Sheriff Connell went on the down
afternoon train to Orchard Hill to
look for him, and succeeded in get¬
ting him and he is now in the county
jail at this place. The commitment
trial tubas pinre this morning.

The Tule of Roberto.
In a certain family, us the Christ¬
mas season came around, it was re¬
solved to try an experiment. Every
member of the family wrote out a list
of the Christmas presents that he
or she would like to get, and hung it
up on the chimney piece, for the
guidance of those who were going to
make gifts. It was rather convenient,
and nice all round. But a young
man of the family conceived the idea
of throwing a little humor into the
list of things that he wanted, and
among the other articles that he put
down as desirable Christmas presents
for himself he included “The Tail of
Roberto." Now, Roberto was the
name of a cat that lived in the
house; and the young man could
not possibly have his cat’s tail for a
present, because it was bob-tailed.
It was n fairly good joke; but it hap¬
pened that a member of the family
who wusn’t very good at orthogra¬
phy took this entry for the name of
a book, and, having a partiality for
the young man, started off on a tour
through the bookstores in search of
it. “Have you the ‘Tale of Bober-
to?’*she asked at a very large and en¬
tirely first-class store. The book¬
seller scratched his head for a mo¬
ment, and made answer: “No; we
haven’t it in stock just now,’but we
can send and get it for you."—[Bos¬

A Christmas without spending money!
Midwinter holidays without doll* or pic¬
ture books, tops, toy cannon or jumping
jacks, colored candies or any “store
presents” of any kind whatsoever!
Christ’s nativity celebrated without a
Christmas tree or a Christmas carol or a
gathering o# ike children—no evergreen
shrub sparkling with glass, no Santa
Claus and no pantomime. Could suen a
thing be in a Christian land?
Yea, verily. long that
And it is not so very ago
just such a Christmas was the rule in
three-fourths of the United States—nay,
it is the rule now in considerable sec¬
tions where there are no large towns.
So easily do we get accustomed to w hat
is, and so naturally do children believe
that the system they first noticed has al¬
ways been the system, that must people
do not know, and even the older ones
are forgetting, that the Christmas of to¬
day is comparatively a new thing.
But what was the old time Christmas,
and with what sights and sounds was it
ushered in? Well, in the first place, it
was—In all the rural regions at any rate
—a time when no money could be
“wasted.” Children .must have their
fun without extra expense, save as each
child had carefully saved his pennies.
As to deliberately handing out a half
dollar to a boy for Christmas—the aver¬
age father would as soon have thought
of giving him a deed for the farm. It
was a season foe rabbit hunting and sled¬
ding it there was snow enough, and for
sliding if there w-as ice, fop a good din¬
ner and an extra piece ofple, and then,
perhaps, for some home made presents.
A little later toys began to come in—
say about 1850—in the central west, and
such toys! Blocky horses, square cor¬
nered cows, dogs made of clay and burnt
black in the fire, and so forth and so
forth; a collection of them now would
throw a group of children into convul¬
sions of laughter. Be it remembered
that less than fifty years ago Cincinnati,
Louisville and St. Louis were the only*
cities really known to the great mass of
people living west of Ohio and north of
Tennessee, and nine-tenths of the people
under 30 years of ago had never seen a
city of 10,000 inhabitants. And in those
days rural America celebrated Christmas
literally without money and without
(cash) price. be
Plenty of people who do not like to
called old can recall the time when, in
all the book stores of the rural regions,
only two or three kinds of “story books”
could be found, and as to holiday books
and holiday goods as such—well, they
could be found in tbe cities, probably,
but not one child in a hundred, taking of
the country througn, ever saw one
them.
Gout has various names according
to the parts affected, as pouagra,
when in the feet; chiragra, when in

hands, rub with Salvation Oil at
once. It annihilates pain Price. 25c.
