THE LEE COUNTY JOURNAL
VOLUME TWENTY-FOUR
We have received a good many Santa Claus letters, some of
them written by tota who could not write their names planly,
some of them with signatures carelessly left off and some of them
too late to get in print. ,
Now Kiddies, old Santa Claus as well as this editor; loves you
everyone, I have written him to get here, without fail, and tofind
you every one, and lam sure, out of the goodness of his heart he
will, so should you not see your letter in print, or see it without the
name attached, do not feel disappointed. He announced over the
radio, last night, that Mrs. Santa had been making for the full year
and packing for the past week, that he had his six reindeer har
nessed and a new and large sled and would be on his way without
the possibility of a mishap and would find every stocking. How
ever, he cautioned me to caution you to begood and to remember
that “It is more blesssed to give than to receive’’ and to add, “‘lt
is more blessed still ta give t) those who are not able to have than
to give unto those of whom we expect presents.”"
Here’s the merriest Christmas to you from one who is lonely
and who will only get pleasure out of that gained by seeing pleas
ure emanating from your hearts,
Dear Santa:
Please bring me a little wagon, a
drum & horn, some fireworks, nuts
candy & fruits.

his house-and lot in Leesburg,
known as the McMillan place to
Mr. H. C. Mathis. . This proper

price as usual. City propertyin
Leesburg sells better than many
other towns of twice the sizeand
property here brings a good ren
tal. Leesburg needs several
more dwellings and store rooms
to supply the demands of people
who want to locate here. Mr.
Henry Cannon will move to Lees
burg on the first of January and
occupy the Mathis residence.

CHRISTMAS GREETING
As is customary with newspapers, we will not
issue a full paper next week, but wili with the
general public, celebrate Christmas in as befitting
manner as we, under existing circumstances, can.
We will not, 'on account of our age and the fact
that they are socks anyway and aged too, hang
up a stocking to catch the goodies of the season,
yet we will smile with a glad satisfaction on the
joys that are brought unto the young hearts that
are so susceptible to the season’s emblematic mot
to,” ‘‘Peace on earth, good will to all men.”’
In this celebration of the very greatest event of
the world’s history---the event that brought from
a blessed Gud a Gift Supreme that has awakened a
broader and more beautiful world---let us not for
get to emulate His spirit and receive gladness into
our own hearts by giving joy unto others.
Let us not forget the unfortunate ones of earth ;
the widow and her children, they whose mite is
insufficient to ward off hunger Jand to keep out
the cold; the aged and infirm who. have outlived
their loved ones and in whose lives but little light
shed; Jet us minister unto them in their need and’
in so doing bring into their and our own hearts
and lives the true gladness of the season. Then
will the goodness and mercies of a Bountiful
Giver follow in our pathway unto eternity. ;
May the Christmas chimes ring clearer and the
New Year dawn brighter unto all the inhabitants
of the earth is the ftrue wish of the Lee County
Journal. :
No Regular Paper
~ Next Week
In accordanee with the custom
of the editor, the printers and
office devils taking a partial va
eation during the Christmas holi
day season, the Lee County
Journal will curtail to a large ex
tent, the matter that will be
issued in the next issue.
It will be necessary, on account
of the legal advertising that we
earry, to publish a sheet, though
since we will not publish a regu
lar news sheet, we make this
explanation in advance that our
patrons will understand the mat
ter.
Our best wishes are extended
unto you all for the happiest
Christmas that you have ever
spent and for the brightest and
most prosperous New Year that
is promised unto an energetic
and a good people.

Need of Repairs
We call the attention of the
County Commissioners to the
fact that that the roof of the
Court House is badly in need of
repairs, in several places during
‘the recent rains leaks are found
in all parts of the building. This
will shortly cause the plastering
tu break and this will cost a con
siderable more than to fix the
roof now ey
