SIR ROGER ON CHRISTMAS.
As 1 whs wallking yesterday with my
worthy friend, Sir Roger, we encoun
tered great crowds of Christmas shop
pers, who jostled and pushed us so that
we discontinued our walk arid returned
to the club. 1 noticed that the good old
man was unusually quiet, and asked
him the cause of it. "It seems to me,”
answered Sir Roger, "that the city
people lose the whole spirit of Christ
mas in the way they buy their presents
and give them. They wait until the
last minute, and then rush to the shops,
where the poor clerks have to stand
from morning till night and endure all
the complaints of tired shoppers. Then,
after the gifts have been bought, the
• givers send them away to people who
are already loaded with gifts. In all
this rush and hustle the poor people are
entirely forgotten.”
Sir Roger went on to tell how the
people in the country plan for Christ
mas ahead, and pay special attention to
making the season a happy one for the
poor around them. He afterwards fell
into an account of the diversions which
usually passed in his house during the
holidays. "1 have often thought,” said
the worthy old gentleman, "it. happens
very well that Christmas comes in the
middle of the winter. It is the most
uncomfortable time of the year, and
the poor people would suiter much from
poverty and cold if we did not give
them good cheer, warm fires and Christ
mas gumbols. I love to rejoice their
poor hearts at this season, and to aeo
the whole village make merry in my
great hall.”
1 was delighted with these reflections
of my old friend, which carried so much
goodness with them. When I think of
the merry Christmas which Sir Roger
gives hts tenants I cannot help wishing
that all the hurried shoppers and care
less givers could get one peep into
Coverley Hull ut Christmas and see
how the people are made happy for at
least one night in the year.-[Mary
Atkinson.

TtlE FOURTH DISTRICT MEET.
Last year the Fourth district high
school meet wub held at Carrollton, and
although this was the first year that
the Newnun high school contested, she
made u remarkable showing. We were
successful in literary nnd athletic con
tests, and tied for first place with West
Point. Sonutor Hoke Smith has given
to the Fourth district. nB a trophy a
beautiful loving cup, which went to
West Point and N. H. S. jointly. West
Point wub to keep the cup the lirst part
of the year, and, as their time has ex
pired, it Iirb come into our possession
for the second part, and is now on dis
play at Hants's.
The next meet will be held at La-
(Irange some time in April, nnd al
though we have lost mnny of our ex
cellent pupils, (who are now in college,)
in both literary and athletic events, we
expect to put up a harder tight than
ever, and hope to win a decided victory
over the other schools. Representa
tives will soon be chosen for the follow
ing events:
Literary — Recitation, declamation,
spelling, essay writing, penmanship
and debating.
Athletic — 100-yard dash, 220-yord
dash, 440-yard dash, low hurdles, run
ning high jump and broad jump, shot
put, and relay race.
♦ ♦
SOCIETY.
— Last Friday night the N. H. S.
football boys gavo a delightful banquet
at the home of John Simms. Several
girl.-, were invited, and after the supper
all went to the picture show. Everyone
enjoyed this pleusant affair.
— On Friday, Dec. 3, several young
couples spent a delightful evening at a
dance given by Hamilton Arnall.
♦ ♦
LOCALS.
— We are glad that Miss Annie Drake
has begun to go about and learn a little
of the world. Early one morning last
week, while visiting Bessie Tift Col
lege, she was much disturbed by i
noise, and complained, “1 wish that lit
tle old Ford would go on off and stop
that fuss. ” She was surprised when
she learned it was only a dynamo.
—J. H. Byram must have gone
through a graveyard Sunday night, be
cause he came to school Monday morn
ing with his long forelock standing on
end.
—Of all the sad words of tongue or
pen, the saddest are these: "I’ve
flunked again. ”
— An appeal to the senior girls: Please
contribute to a collection of penstaffs
for "Runt” Arnall and "Chattie” Mar
tin. If you have no penstafTs to give
away, bring a doll or some kind of
plaything.
—Teacher, (Inchemistry experiment,)
— "Humilton, what effect doea this gas
have on red litmus paper?”
H. Arnall —"It changes red to blue."
Teacher—"Be careful that none of it
gets on your hair. ”
— Several days ago Mr. Armistead
made a statement which has been the
subject of much discussion: "Girls
should do better in school than boys,
because they don’t have anything to do
but sit at home and study.”
— It is rumored that the following
speeches are being prepared and will
be delivered Boon: "When the Cook
Doesn’t Come,” “Ackie” Atkinson;
"Getting the Children to Sleep,” "Big
Sis” Glover; "Making Christmas Pres
ents," "Bill” Pringle; "Answering the
'Phone for Papa,” "Skeet” Davis;
"Writing Jokes for the Paper,” “Red”
Tompkins.
— We are certainly proud of our se
nior class. We have 22 members, and
eight of them made the honor roll.
Mary Atkinson led the class, as usual,
with an average of 98, while Arthur
Murphey and Geo, Kinnard led the boys
with an average of 95 each.
ST A Nil INC; OF THE DIFFERENT GRADES.
—Those eighth grade pupils are like
all the other eighth grades that have
been before them. On the first day
they were timed and scored, but they
soon becume just the opposite. The
honor roll shows that it is the boys who
are doing the work. It is suspected
that the girls consider their school
work of secondary importance to their
personal appearance, and act accord
ingly. But they will soon pass this
stage, and we are expecting great
thingB of them.
—There is a marked improvement in
both sections of the ninth grade. Their
neat work shows that they are careful
and painstuking. Miss Summersett
says they are doing good work in En
glish, especially in theme writing.
— Each section of the tenth grade ib
making for itself a place in the Hall of
Fame. The girls are the wonder of the
school nnd the favorites of all the teach
ers, because they always behave so
well and know their lessons. The boys
are not so Btudious us the girls, but ure
"shining lights” in society. Although
they were "terrors” in the eighth and
ninth grudes, after “coming out” in
society and associating with the girls
more they have toned dawn considera
bly. They are a handsome lot of boyB,
so healthy and strong, and judging
from what they have already done, we
are expecting great things from them
in athletics. During the lirst two
months they tried to pass on their
looks, but recently Mr. ArmiBtead
caused such a shake up among them
that now they are thinking more about
their books.
— We are all justly proud ef our se
nior grade, for the interest which they
are taking in their work. Mr. Armis
tead says they are doing better work
as a class than any grade that has grad
uated in Newnan since he has been
here. He also says they are now learn
ing how to study, and that this is very
essential, because when they go off to
college they will have to depend upon
themselves. There is a great improve
ment in the whole class, which to a
large extent iB due to the interest ta
ken by Mr. Armistead, who spends a
good deal of time in that room.
R3Commended for Croup.
Coughs, colds, croup, hourseness, in
flamed throat, bronchial troubles or
sore chest are relieved by Foley’s
Honey and Tar, which opens stopped air
pnsssges, soothes and heals inflamed
surfaces, and restores normal breath
ing. W. C. Allen, Boseley, Mo., says:
"1 have raised a family of four children
and used Foley’s Honey and Tar with
all of them, i find it the best cough
and croup remedy 1 ever used. 1 used
it for eight or ten years and can recom
mend it for croup.” J. F. Lee Drug Co.
Once there was a church member in
Danville who had made money by
speculating in cotton. His brethren in
the church went so far as to warn him
that it would be an otfense to the Lord
for him to give to the church any of
the money he had made by gambling in
cotton. He asked his brethren if
money made on his tobacco deals
would be acceptable, and as most of
the brethren were themselves tobacco
dealers, they replied, naturally, that
the tobacco-earned money was perfect
ly clean, and therefore acceptable. But
the speculator gave nothing, and when
called upon for an explanation said that
he had carelessly mixed the tobacco
money and the cotton money, so that he
did not know which was church-going
money and which "speculative,” and
he feared to take the risk. You can't
always tell. The margin is often nar
row. And much depends upon temper
ament. Some men are born gamblers
and make everything, even matrimony
and heaven, a matter of speculation.
Wby You Should Use Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy.
Because it has an established reputa
tion, won by its good works.
Because it is most esteemed by those
who have used it for many years, as
occasion required, and are best ac
quainted with its good qualities.
Because it loosens and relieves a cold
and aids nature in restoring the system
to a healthy condition.
Because it doea not contain opium or
any other narcotic.
Because it is within the reach of all.
It only costs a quarter. Obtainable
everywhere.
Ain’t.
Cleveland P!ain*DraIer.
"Ain't" is an improper abbrevia
tion of "are not.” British writers
spell it "a’n't, ” which properly in
dicates its derivation. Americans make
it an inclusive offense, using it for "am
not” and’,is not.” It is unquestionably
the worst instance of slovenliness in the
common Bpeech of to-day.
Y’et it is by no meana of universal or
even of common use. It will slip oc
casionally from refined lips, always
with a jar to the enunciator, as well as
the hearer. But the habitual use of
"ain’t” is careless of refinement. He
mav be an excellent citizen who never
beats his wife or kicks the cat. But
there is likely to be something slipshod
about him somewhere. For "ain't"
is needless, as well as cacophonous; it
fills no void and supplies no need.
One is rather surprised tq learn that
Kansas normal school students have
formed an Anti-Ain’t Association. One
had scarcely fancied that the outrage
was sufficiently common to merit or
warrant a society of organized antago
nism. Among normal school students,
especially, it might be imagined that
"ain’ts” and “hain’ts” would be rare
birds. It is nevertheless commendable
to establish an interdict. Even where
there are no “ain’ts” to-day, there may
be a brood to-morrow.
English observers complain super
ciliously of the laxness of American
speech. American observers who have
listened to the marvels of Lancashire,
Yorkshire, Devonshire and other shire
dialects are inclined to resent any as
sumption of British superiority. But
it is none the less desirable to eliminate
our own linguistic sins, and of these
"ain’t” is the most deplorable.
If You Want to Be Loved —
Don’t find fault.
Don’t believe all the evil you hear.
Don’t jeer at anybody’s religious be
lief.
Don’t be rude to your inferiors in so
cial position.
Don’t repeat gossip, even if it does
interest a crowd.
Don’t go untidy on the plea that
everybody knows you.
Don’t contradict people, even if you
are sure you are right.
Don’t underrate anything because
you don’t possess it.
Don’t believe that everybody else in
the world is happier than you.
Don’t conclude that you never have
had any opportunities in life.
Don’t be inquisitive about the affairs
of even your most intimate friends.
Don’t get in the habit of vulgarizing
life by making light of the sentiment
of it.
Don’t express a positive opinion un
less you perfectly understand what you
are talking about.
Don’t try to be anything else but a
gentlewoman—and that means a wo
man who has consideration for the
whole world, and whose life is governed
by the Golden Rule: “Do unto others
as you would have them do unto you.”

"One gallon makes Two”

Whipped Without Knowing It.
New York Wold.
In an interview with The World's
Berlin correspondent, Maximilian Har
den, who undoubtedly reflects with ac
curacy the mental processes of a large
section of the German people, complains
that Great Britain, France, Russia and
Italy are already defeated, but have
not yet realized the fact.
Some of the most troublesome cap
tains that military geniuB has produced
have been subject to this accusation.
When Napoleon Bonaparte first went
to Italy the Auscrian martinets in
sisted that by alt the rules of the game
he ought to be in flight, but he was not.
Mr. Harden's immortal countryman,
Blucher, was greatest in action when
he was supposed to have been defeated.
With due respect to Mr. Harden and
all other good fighters everywhere, it
must be said that nations and men are
never whipped until they are conscious
of it. So long as the slightest doubt on
this subject remains among the entente
powers, Germany’s task is not finished,
and conclusions in Berlin based upon
theories as to what ought to be, are cer
tain to come into collision with what is.
“I see that a man aged one hundred
and two has just died in the poor-
house.”
“He lived long and died short, eh?”
