Tlie natal day of Christ the Savior of
mankind. What memories cluster near
to tbs heart of the hardened worldling
when he tlrst awakes to the dawn of this
hallowed anniversary. What tender
recollections surge up through the
'spirit embittered, mayhap, by a life oi
loneliness and solitary selfishness In
the dim vista of the past he sees, per
haps, soft, sweet eyes that shine with i
■divine light that can be born only of a
mother’s all-absorbing love and devo
tion; be hears, and, alas, it may be in
tones of grief at tbe waywardness of her
child, a loving voice that can only come
from a mother's all-forgiving lips. He
sees as in a mirror the well-remembered
face as it lighted up in glad particlpa
tion la the recital of childish joys, and
the sweet sympathy which smootiied
jtwjy tbe little cares of boyhood.
At this time as at no other can lie re
call the lines of pain and sorrow that
surely crept into that countenance us
slowly it dawned on the mother's fond
heart that her idol was of only common
clay and that she must die aid see her
bright hopes of his future unreilized
and futile.
At this' time as at no other lie who
has lived the full measure of his dajs in
the pandering to thojgrossor inclinations
is filled with a loathing of himself as
bitter as it is deserved. He wanders
through the stroets alone and sollta'y
among the bright faced throng whose
eyes are alight witli the gladness of a
loving gift to others, knowing that in
this day of universal love he Ij a “man
on the outalde,” and that his life is what
he haa made it
This is not such a selfish old world
though, after all, and, thank Cod, in
thie social, friendly land of ours,
there are |few who this! evening will
not have felt the hearty grip of friend-
ablp and heard the cheery “Merry
Christmas" given from the heart
The Times-Recobder wishes for Its
readers a Christmas of joy and love, to
be followed by a year of peace and
plenty, unraarred by more of pain or
sorrow than must fall to tbe mortal lot.
For a longtime this paper has advo
cated the establishment of manufactur
ing enterprises as a sure moans of pro-
1 grcssioD for this oity and aectlo'i, and
the recent statistics setting forth the
abandoned farm acreage of New Eng
land aad its manufacturing interests
when compared with the South is vastly
ahead In wealth, and immeasurably be
hind in natural advantages. The de
velopment of that section of conn
try Is purely arlificiul and is
due solely to the push and enterprise of
thoee citizens who realized tbe profit in
ottering to Hie demands cf the world
, at large. To-day there are in the north
eastern states thousands of acres of
abandoned farm lands, and yet the per
capita wealth la greater than that of any
othor section of the country So much
for manufactories.
Speaker Crisp In the appointment of
Ids committees has received tbe almost
united praise of the press and people.
It It true that a few of tbe bitter parti
san sheets have charged him with error
In tome of hie selections, but to a fair
minded reader tbli only goes to prove
that he placed his men rightly, as tbe
endorsement of the prejudiced and dis
gruntled prase could only have, been
brought about by tbe making of a mis
take on tbe Speaker’s park
The National Economist published at
'Washington, D, C. In tbe Interest of the
Farmer’s Alliance glories In tbe election
of Crisp over Mills as speaker, yet Its
. perspicuity in this respect I* just a little
dulled by the fact that it calls tbe nine
deluded congressmen who voted for
Tommy Watson “heroes.” However,
this may a typographical error resulting
to the Insertion of “heroes" instoad of
UNKIND COMMENT.
Americus has invited Springer and
McMillin to the Crisp reception next
Saturday, hut Mill's name dues nut so
far appear in the list of guests Ameri
cus, of course, knows her own business
best, but she would have done a very
graceful thing by asking the distin
guished Texan to her b'ow out.—Jack
sonville limes-Union.
So far as the Tiues-Rkcouiikii knows,
there has never yet appeared a “list of
guests” Invited to the Crisp celebration
which was to have been held In this city
on the 30th, lost., and as to tbe grace
embodied in an invitation extended to
Mr. Mills, the Tlmes-Unfon teems to
descend rather lower titan the friends
of Mr. Crisp are willing to go.
Mr. Mills in his campaign for the
speakership did not hesitate to use
methods looking toward his own success
which Chas. F. Crisp would hava dis
dained being guilty of, and in addition
thereto ezldbited himself afterward in a
very bad light by his childish fit of snlks
and even discourtesy to the statesman
who had beaten him in fair contest.
Although the celebration in honor of
Mr. Crisp is unfortunately postponed
the Americus people, in spite of tbe
opinion of tbe Times Union, see no spe
cial reason why it would have proven
more “graceful" to invite Mr. Mills than
to ignore him.

strange that insanity should only hare

had swindled and defrauded to tbe ex

probably safe Id surmising that had
there been no fraud there would have
been no inquiry as to his lunacy.
