If we do, we miss all the good and are apt to do harm and to be harmed. Let every young man resolve to touch not a drop of whiskey, it matters not who may ask him to drink. Let every man who has fallen into the unfortunate Intuit of being overcome by liquor, resolve to keep sober this Christmas. Let those who do not get drunk, re solve to have no eggnogs nor whiskey stews. Possibly no drunks will be hatched out of these eggs, but by them you may help to ruin your precious boy. Let young ladies never, never ask a young man to drink wine nor strong drink from a punch bowl. If we all thus resolve find act we will have a good, sober Christmas.

Mr. Milner was just concluding his sixth term as postmaster in Newnan; having held the office under every re publican administration since 1872. Hin official conduct wus above re proach ; and his service of 24 years us j postmaster was a reoord of faithful per formance of official duties and of courte ous attention to the patrons of his office.
