Cbri stmas with its joys and
festival fes commenced in our
town f illy one week before the
usuul t ime, and was opened at
the Grind Central Hotel with a
Ball, C apt. Austin, the genial
landlo *d clearing away the ta
bles fr )m his spacious dining
room i n order that the revelers
might have full swjiv. There
would be but little need for us
to att *rnpt to particularize on
this a; fair, because everything
was ii order, and fully, carried
by successful management.
Numerous parties, at private
residences were on the pro-
gramlme for the week, and as
the wjeather clerk seemed to be
in a nappy huinqr, the nights
were propitious, the days the
very kind desired and nog,event
of a shd tenor had a tendency to
cast a gloom ovef the spirits of
the young and. tho gay, and
happiness was tjhe order of the
day. _ ]
On Christmas Eve., the pa
rents and friends of the children
of tho Sunday Schools of the
Methodist and Baptist church
es arrayed in gorgeous costume
and Brilliant beauty Christmas
trees jin each church with pres
ents for the little ones. The
Methodist Christmas tree came
off ahd was robbed of its fruit
between 7 and 8 o’clock, the ex
ercise being opened with sing-
ing by the choir, prayer by Un
cle Thomas and an address by
Rev Mr. Whiting. Santa Claus
arrived about that time, dressed
in becoming garb, bedecked
with flakes of snow and made
the little ones roar with joyous
laughter. As a success, Santa
Claus, in the pevson of our
young friend of the Reporter,
D. B. Sweat, was a trump, and
did his part well
At the Baptist church the
crowd was not so dense, but the
children were just as anxious,
the music equally as sweet, the
prayer and address by Rev. J
W. Quartcrman ju3$*a« eloquent
ft
erything equally as siic-
1 only tho tree was on a
F scale. The only regret
d expressed by any one
present was from a little boy
who was sorry that Christmas
didn’t'come every day and Sun
day, too.
At Oleman's hail the young
people were preparing for anoth
er Ball, which was not as grand
an affair as could be desired, be
cause with the stripping of two
Christmas trees the populace
hud become tired, therefore, all,
except a few departed for their
respective homes after the lust
Sunday School affair. The
Waycross Orchestra was in at
tendance at botli balls that we
have attended recently, and al
though composed almost entire
ly of anietours, exhibit by their
splendid music a wonderful pro
ficiency, and before many moons
ive shall boast of musical talent
second to none in the State.
The parents, teachers and
friends of the Episcopal church
Sunday school did Hot forget
their little ones. When the
noise and bustle of Christmas
had passed away, they reared a
Christmas tree iu their church,
last Moudav night, splendidly
arrayed with presents for the
old, the voting and the gay. Ev-
erything passed aivav pleasantly,
we are told, and tho children
blessed the kind Providence
that scnds'Christmas day.
1 a T'filtttrtl
Probably the most, beautifuj
and ’highly-prized present taken
from the Christmas tree at the
Metliodist church last Thursday
nigflt was a small box, three by
four inches, addressed “James
M. Freeman, Waycross, Ga.,”
and which contained a ’ hand
some gold (ininature) compos
ing stick (a printer’s stick, in
which type are set into lines)
valued by the recipient at $50.
and c an be worn as an emblem,
breast or scarf-pin. With this
valued treasure was a note
which read:
Waycross, Ga., Dee. 24th.
Mr. Jame§ M. Freeman :
In consideration of our high
appreciation of your valuable
services to us please accept this
small token.
Yours, very respectfully,
Lanier & Youmans.
The short, crisp business like
note was in the well-known
chirography of Mr. T. E. Lanier,
the senior member of the firm
of Lanier & Youmans, proprie
tors of the Headlight, whom
we have tried to serve faithful
ly for the past year, and in
whose employ we expect to re
main. Kind and generous,
both gentlemen are more like
brothers toward us than employ
ers, and their treatment has
long ago convinced us of their
kind regards. This token of
their appreciation of our ser
vices will ever be cherished ns
the composing stick of stronger
fraternal feeling, which, when
cemented with the bonds of
mutual tenderness will last far
beyond tho time when our eyes
grow dim with weeping because
we are not more worthy.
Here’s success to you, gentle
men; may your boat sail smooth
ly o’er the sea of life; and may
your hands be full of the sweets
of ioy and happiness, and when
'the deafening roar of the catar
act at the end of the river of
Time sounds in your tars as
you approach the end of your
journeys may you both be able
to take a retrospective glance of
a well spent life.

Mr. Hamp Mattox, of Homer
•file, planted this year, fifteen
acres in Couch peas (commonly
known as the acre pea. The pens
arc planted two to three in a liiil,
fifteen feet each way; they arc im
mense runners, in the fall covering
the ground, and it is not unusual
for the vines to run fifty feet each
way. They make a fine pasture
for cattle, horse or sheep, though
they are not regarded as fine bear
ers. They are inexpensive, inas
much ns it takes only a few quarts
to plant several acres, and as a
fertilizer, when properly turned
under they are invaluable.—
Should any of our farming frien*ffir **
wish to try them they can get seed
from Mr. Mattox, by addressing
him at Homcrville.
