Charley Thomas spent tho holidays with his parents. Charley looks improved. Now it tho time to plant iiew advertisements to bring good re turns of trade in tho spring.

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. Mr. J. Stephens’ name hns lieen plnccd on the “Citizens’ Ticket” for Alderman in place of Mr. W. II. Cason, withdrawn, nnd we honest: ly believe Mr. Stephens will make a good Alderman. Brother Win. Parker and family, of l’cnrson, have been s|icnding the past w’eck in Wnycross. His daughters, Misses Arlua, Annabcll and Agnes are having a delightful timo with their many friends. There are quite a number of names on our kooks whose time expire next week, nnd if they do not renew their subscription this may bo tho last Headlight they will receive. Of course, we do not desire to stop any papers, but Im.i iness is business, nnd printing pa pers cost money. Miss Kate Cannon is making preparation for a Christmas tree for the pleasure of her Sundny school class. Miss Kate isa mod el young lady, and there arc quito 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. ami so it 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.
