OLD SANTA GLAUS
(By Mrs. Oolieta H. Miller.)
They told me of a Santa Claus
Of his wondrous sleigh and
pack,
How his reindeers scampered
o'er the roof
And never leave u single track.
How he scramplcs down the
chimney
Our stockings all to fill,
But how he could got Out our
stove,
To me’s a mystery still.
I went to bed quite early,
Mama said for sure he’d come;
I shut my eyes so very tight
And only peeped out some.
At last I heard a little noise,
My eyes flew open wide,
And there was my own dear
Grandpa,
A basket by his side.
He every blessed stocking filled
Just full of Christmas cheer,
Tlipn stooping o’er me so r tlj’ said
“God bless our little dear.
He surely thought me fast asleep,
T never moved just for his snkc,
But could you blame me if I
should think
"Old Santa Clnus” a big mis
take. " |

SOME NEW YEAR
RESOLUTIONS FOR THE
BUSINESS MAN.
It might pay the business men
of Waycross jnd of other places
as well to make a few New Year
resolutions this week nnd to stick
to them during 1909. The fol
lowing are among thoso which
might be helpful;
Don't let irresponsible people
make bills with you. Unless you
know a man will pay liis account
promptly you don’t want his
trade—let your competitor have
it—and lose by it.
Don’t buy any more goods
than you sec your way clear to
pay for promptly.
Buy judiciously, goods that
you arc pretty sure will sell
readily nnd not leave you with a
lot of dead stock on your hnnds.
Push your cash trade. A cash
sale means a certain profit while
a credit sale means the trouble
and expense of keeping it on
your books with the uncertainty
of ever collecting thq bill.
When laying your plans for
the year’s business don’t forget
your advertising campaign
Don't advertise spasmodically,
spending a lot on advertising one
month and then frightened at the
size of your bill, stopping off for
the next three of four months.
Instead, decide how much you
can afford to spend on advertis
ing and then lay out a certain
amount every month on this ex
pense No merchant can expect
to succeed without advertising
hut the reason a merchant does
n’t always get good results from
money spent with tho newspaper
is because he doesn’t advertise
judiciously. Ask tho advice of
those who make a study of such
matters, ns to the amount of
space it will pay you to use, the
kind of copy which will bring the
best results nnd the best time to
advertise. Then you are suro of
getting results.

On Friday Evening, Christinas

number of friends of Air. and
Mrs. J. G. Bird met at his resi
dence 72 Albany Avenue nnd
erected a beautiful Christmas
tree in honor of Little Tommie
Glenn, the little boy who recent
ly lost his leg in an accident. The
tree was erected in tho lnrge,
spacious double parlors, and
loaded with many presents. The
little girls present wheeled little
Tommie into the parlor where
his eyes were greeted with the
beautiful sight. The exercises
were opened with singing a beau
tiful Christmas melody, this wus
followed by prayer by Judge
Bird, in which he very feelingly
supplicated, that the three physi
cians who hail so nobly nnd un
flinchingly fought for days and
nights for little Tommie’s life,
would be blessed of God here ard

Proposes to Give Half Fees of
Office to Widow of Late E. L.
Walker—Gov. Smith Has Mat
ter Under Consideration.
Of interest here is the follow
ing from the Brunswick Ncwrf,
regarding the Solicitor-general
ship of tho Brunswick Circuit:
Col. W. W. Lambdin of Way-
cross, who is a candidate for the
appointment of Solicitor general
to succeed his law partner, Col.
John W. Bennett, was in the city
yesterday on legal business.
Col. Lambdin was seen during
tho day by a News reporter and
when questioned ns to the race
for the office, he stated that he
did not exactly know who the
Governor would appoint. He
stated that Col. Randall Walker,
of Valdosta, has entered the race
with a very attractive proposi
tion nnd thought that it would
probably nppenl to the Governor
ns well as to the people of the
circuit.
Colonel Walker is a brother of
the lato Solicitor-elect Lawton
Walker, of Blackshcar. He lives
in Valdosta, Lowndes county,
nnd consequently docs not reside
in tho Brunswick judicial circuit.
However, he has submitted a
proposition to the Governor in
which lie agrees, if he is given
the appointment ns solicitor gen
eral, to remove to some county in
the circuit at once nnd to give to
the widow of the late solicitor-
elect half of the fees accruing
from the office for the four years
It is stated that Mr. Wnlker, who
was accidently killed, did not
leave his fnmily in very good cir
cumstances, nnd his brother is
willing to give to his widow half
of the fees he receives from the
office. Colonel Wnlker is a very
populnr attorney of Valdosta nnd
on the above proposition he may
receive the appointment.
Colonel Lnmbdin stated yester
day, however, that in case the
Governor did not appoint Mr.
Wnlker that he would receive it.
He has been a strong supporter
of the Governor during both his
campaigns, he has received
strong endorsements from every
county in the state, nnd really
seems to be in the lend for the
position. However, there are four
