I C/*rt /»» 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.

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.
