J. W. Strickland, of Pearson,
was in town lost week. He came
to squaro his accounts with the
Headlight, after which lie bade
us adieu. Good bye John, you
may take passage with us again.
The 8100 note promised us ns a
Christmas present has not been
received. The fault must be with
John Murphy, and we hope Mr.
Murphy will not let this thing oc
cur again.
Wc are pained to chronicle the
death of Mrs. W. A. Ecord, of
Homcrvillo, which occurred on
last Monday. The Headlight ex
tends heartfelt sympathy to the
bereaved family.

Miss Kate Cannon is making
preparation for a Christmas tree
for the pleasure of her Sundny
school class. Miss Kate isa mod

a number of young men who would
like her as a life-time Sunday-
school teacher, wo think, but won’t
sny so.
A note from HomcrviUc informs
us that the IIeadlioiit mailed to
that place, last week, was not re
ceived, and that our subscribers
there aro very much annoyed at
not receiving their Cristinas paper.
Wo dp not wish to be hard on
any one udjustly,.butit does seem
that there is some unpardonable
carelessness somewhere, among
those who handle the moils.
n.lillHt Clirl.tniH.t Tree.
Last Wednesday night,
Christmas Evo, found a beau
tifully arranged Christmas Tree
at the Baptist Chureli, and the
interesting occasion .also found
quito a number of old .and
young people thor*. Tlioso who
had the arrangement of the'tree
in hand seemed to have been
adepts in tho business, for every
thing passed off .nicely, while
nearly all the little ones were
dolighted. Messrs Knight, Bates,
Carsoiyell and' Brewor per
formed their parts well, tho lat
ter gentlemen making a few
very appropriate remarks, but
one of the best Christmas spee
ches we have. heard in a. long
time, fell from tho lips of Rev.
J. M. Cross, pastor of tho Bop-
list church. - After speeches
wore over, tho presents were
distributed, some of tho ladies
and gontlcmcn receiving very-
queer and amusing ones, among
those was tho "Saturday Night”
man, who received a bright,
new tin horn, and a splendid
silk hundkorchiof.

Lust Bali of the Oltl Year
Came off last night nt Olonmn
hall, with a largo und select at
tendance, there being present
many young ladies and gentleman
from abroad, together with those
of our town. There was also pres
ent some married people who as
sisted, with their experience, in
making tho occasion pleasant and
enjoyable. Too much credit can
not be given tho management for
getting up such an elegant amt so
cial entertainment for those who
delight to “trip the light fantastic
toe.” It Was the grandest kind of
a grand success, tmaucialiy, so
cinlly, lovably und dancingly.-*
We’ll stop, before wo say some
thing.

The kindly faced old gentleman
expiaiued to us that ho had eomo
lo lowu in tho afternoon witli the
children to “hunt Santa Clause.”
Toward night h*> had, seen the
ebiliireu in the cart auj as night
came on, and when he had tiaish.
cb his trading he hitched up and
drove out of town, supposing the
little «*l»i!dion were asleep in the
call. When he had -reached a
distunes of three or four miles
Iroin town ho discovered his mis
take, and came buck.
The Jiltle children were very
happy on being rescored to Uucle
Ralph (h© told us his nkme, but
not having otr book, it has slip
ped our memory,) while the old
gentleman regretted his error,
thanked us (or eur trouble with
tiie little one*, and begged us to
not attribute his forgetfulness to
Christmas drops.
