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.

"One gallon makes Two” 11 Bacumosl JLkius a.V> 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?” RUB OUT PAIN with good oil liniment.
