W. L. GLEIIHEB, Editor. SUNDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1881. TO POSTMASTERS. When newspaper* are not colled for It la made J.o duty of Postmasters under the law to notify tlia proprietor, of thia fact. Cauls, already print ed, are furnished on application to the Poattnaster, whose only duty will be to fill out with the name of the party not getting the paper. Merry Christmas. The Kecobdeb extends this glad greeting to its thousands of read ers, with the hope that the day may indeed be a merry one—the hope that their hearts may ho at peace, and that they may bo sur rounded by such comforts ns will make the day one of joy. It is a day of beautiful memories, botli for its origin nnd celebration. For hundreds of years it has signified the birth of One who brought with Him peace on earth and good will toward men, and it is fitting that its celebration should be accompan ied by demonstrations of joy. The gifts usual to tlie day are typical of the great gift which He gave to the world. What a world of mem ories cluster around the day! It takes us back to the days of child hood, with its implicit belief in Santa Claus ns a beneficent being who rewarded the good with giftB —of Christmas eve with its row of stockings hung around the niunlel, nnd Christmas morning with its childish shouts of delight ns the stockings were emptied and their treasures revealed—of the Christ inas festive hoard, around which were gathered all the members of the family. It ii well for us nil tliht such a day of rest nnd joy should break the selfish monotone of every-day life nnd soften, ifonly for a day, hearts growing hard witli .the struggles nnd strifes of earth But here .wo arc sermonizing, when we should bo only merry, yet sweet memories aro the joy of the middle' aged nnd old. With the hope that the holidays, tlie closing up of the year, may lie pleasant in all respects to our readers, and that they may enter upon the new year with renewed strength and hope, we wish them a Mebiiy Ciibistmas and a Happy New Yeab. Judge Gray, appointed to the United States Supreme Court, is about llftv-two yours old and un married. He graduated from Har vard College at the age of sixteen. Hu traveled extensively in Europe, and afterward took a regular course in tlie Harvard Law School and read law witli the present Judgo Lowell. He was admitted to the bar in February, 1851. His first ollleinl position was tliut of report er of decisions of the Supremo Court of Massachusetts, which lie held lrom 1854 to 1861, when he re signed. He was appointed Asso ciate Justice of tho Supreme Court iu 1864 and gradually rose, until, upon the dentil of Justice Chap man iu-1873,ho was appointed his successor. In early manhood he at tended as a delegate the first State Convention of the Free Soil party, and was actively associated with Clinrles Sumner, C. F. Adams, Henry Wilson, S. C. Phillips, J. G. Palfrey and other prominent men in that movement. Gkoiuiians arc apportioned to tlie committees as follows Ways and means, Speer; judiciary, Ham mond: coinage, weights and mens urcs, Stephens; public building and grounds, Cook; Indian allairs, Blount; education anil labor, Clem ents; claims, Turner and Buchanan Mr. Blount is also on the commit tee on expenditures in tlie Navy Department, and Mr. Stephens on the committee on Presidential elec tions. Seville’s lecturing project to afiTccl public opinion outside the court house was a novel feature in criminal trials, and attracted con siderable curiosity. The Gnlves- ton News well says, however, that “lie might as well attempt to row a canoe up the roaring cataract of Niagara as to undertake to reverse the sweeping tide of American opinion as to Guitcau’s accounta bility.” What It Costs To Lire. The New York Public has been making some very valuable esti mates of tlie increased coBt of liv ing in this country. Taking tbe amount required for tbe consump tion of the ordinary working man, it would require $123.07 to support him a year in November 1878, $159.47 in 1879, $155.91 in 1880, and $167.85 this year, an advance of 36.4 per cent, in four years. The advance in tlie cost of cloth ing has been very slight, that hav ing remained at nearly the same figures during the past three years. Food, however, lias advanced near ly 50 per cent. The Savannah Times says: We hear a great deal about Mahonc- ism in Georgia. There can be no political division in this State on that name, neither are the people senseless enough to run after ary man for the sake of the man. There must be some principle, some is sue of vital importance presented, ere tho people will consent to neg lect their business pursuits for the sake of seeing some second rate political gymnast make an exhibi tion of himself. Aspiring ring mas ters who have organs and pet monk eys to grind them, may now go in to training for tho Gubernatorial race. In the two houses of congress thus far this session 2,205 bills have been introduced, and the call of states in tlie house has only readi ed Pennsylvania. Aboutonc thou sand moro bills will beoficred, it is said. This will make a total of 3,205—enough, should congress act upon six a day for five days in the week, to keep that body at work for two years. We should say that Congress a bill-ions body. A young German chemist of Bal timore is the largest advertiser in tlie country.

Til KIR CLUB AND OURS The Montezuma Weekly declares that its town is on a regular boom. A number of dwelling houses are in course of erection, and a new first class sash, door and blind manufactory and variety works are about being established. Tlie Weekly says: “We aro bound to have a city yet.” An Ohio editor says that lie was born on tlie last day of the we:'k, the last day of the month, tlie Inst day of the year, nnd very near tlie last hour of day. In fact, lie came very near not being born at all; but just what saved the country from such n calamity lie docs not make plain nt all. Tlie Now York board of trade nnd transportation lias adopted resolution asking congress to make trade dollars a legal tender to tlie same extent ns tlie standard silver dollar. An exchange remarks that Sena tor Hill’s tongue has been cut into, but it is very evident tlmt his brain has not been clipped. Perhaps tlie boldest ami most daring, ns well as successful bur glary, ever perpetrated iu Cuth- bert was accomplished on Monday night last. Mr. T. O. Hand, one of our prosperous young merchants, looked his sale on Monday night, which contained something over $2,000, nnd fastened bis store doors securely, retired to his home feeling that all was safe and secure. But while lie slept a robber entered with false keys, opened tlie safe and stole away his money—$2,185. Who the robber was we hoar no opinion expressed. Everything appears to lie wrapped in the pro- foundcst mystery. The safe has a combination lock, and was con sidered burglar proof. Wo learn that a large portion of this money was received on Monday evening lute, and placed in the safe by Mr. Hand himtelf. So one may reas onably conjecture tliut tho thief was well posted as to the combina tion and contents of the safe We hope tho guilty party may be brought to the surface." and Mr. Hand obtain his lost property. Mr. Joseph Glawson, of Jones county, on a cne horse farm, gath ered 100 btishcis of wheat, 400 bushels of oats and 14 bushels of barley, 800 bushels of corn, 1,400 pounds of fodder, 2 bales of cotton and peas enough to fatten 52 hogs. lit n ’ala A Bov only Fourteen Years i telling it nml nevent resol tteou’.-o -school life o f a n Ixeil school of boy* nnd g’rls Dieted with Die . v* touch o.* a boy * • line a ran ;•! irtorv • tell nnd ooji Tho story % .11 have ih »y-_- : Mlus.
