labor of love and devotion that
has been most effective ... It was
fitting that the C. of C. and their
associates should have compli

labors in behalf of the sentiments
she represents. She is an enthu

of such associations.”
Tributes were paid Miss Elliott j

Followers of the Southern Cross,
We are tonight not at a loss To j
show how much we like our boss,
MISS PHOEBE . , . All of us have
“just took a notion’’ Tonight to

P. S.—Don’t forget that it’s not
many days until Christmas . . .
and that reminds us that States
boro is the loveliest town in Geor
gia right now ... we have seen no
decorations to compare with theijs
... We asked our Sunday School
class what they thought of when
we said Christmas . . . one little
boy said “a Scooter," one “a B. B.
gun” . . . one “a bicycle,” and
another, a girl, said “a watch”
... so now that we have time
to think, before Christmas, let us
realize that we are celebrating the
birth of Christ Jesus . . . and dur
ing this sacred and Holy Christ
mas season let us remember to
put Christ in Christ-mas! Will
you?
Of course Santa Claus will
come . . . and I hope he does . . .
’cause I want a bicycle worse than
anything else ... a bicycle . . .
some firecrackers and a pair of
gloves . . . The Boss sez I’m too
big to ride a bicycle . . . but all
the boys my size rides them . . .
and they come by my house and
say, “Why don’t you come go to
ride with us?” An I’m shore
gonna be sore at Old Santa if he
don’t bring me a Bicycle,

tions, but no more than one per
