THE NEWNAff HERALD. NEWNAN, GA. t FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1921. CHRISTMAS IN THE COUNTRY. Christmas in the country 1 Christmas Day in the old farm homo! Whnt pleas ant memories it reenlls to. some of us, and what good times it will mean for mnny of us this year. Thoro iB really no place like the farm homo for Christ mas good times and good eheer. Here, if anywhere, prosperity and plenty abound, and in family gatherings and in neighborhood reunions, with an abun dance of the fruits of our labor with which to spread our bountiful boards, old friendships may be renewed, new ones made, and oven “the stranger with in our gates” may be added to the list. At Chrlstmas'tinio we nmy put into practice the real principles of neighbor ing. Living close togothor docs not al ways make neighbors. Speaking acquain tances ure not alwnys neighbors. To bo real neighbors we muBt have tho spirit of neighborlinoss in our hearts which prompts us to get together once iu n while, to gather around a well-laden table and toast, and visit, and laugh and joke, and hnvo a rousing good time. To love our neighbor as wo do ourself we have to know him pretty well, and there is nothing like these neighborly reunions as a moans of getting acquainted. It may bo that somo of us will have to do a littlo mental nnd spiritual house cleaning before Christmas Dqy dawns. We shall have to rid ourselves of all tho old rubbish of grudges, dislikes, jeal ousies and ill-foelings which we will dud pigeon-holed away when wo bogin to overhaul the accumulation of the years. You will have to throw all this into the discard'beforeyou get into the real Christ mas spirit, because tho two will not mix. If you have wronged your neighbor in any way, Chrlstmns is a good timo to make reparation. And if you feel that you have been wronged, why, just forget it nnd the Christmas spirit and tho Christ mas “get-together” will do tho rest. Christmas should be a time of pence nnd good will to nil mankind, and not to a fow favored friends. It should be a time of reviving old associations, of renowing old friendships, and of making new friends, nnd the peace and good will, tho neighborlincss and good fellowship thus revived should not bo allowed to dio out as the yule fires cense to burn, but should flow out in-a plenteous stream to enrich our lives through all’ the days tff the coming year. THE GLAD YULETIDE. Talk about- the joyous May-time with its, blossoms on the trees, With tho strumming and the hnmming of the little honey bees Rioting ’mid the sweetness of tho orchnrd over thore, And the summer breezes talking littlo love words everywhere;— Yet there’s something more heart-thrill ing in the Yuletide’s silver chime Calling all hearts to be merry for the joyful Christmas time. 0, tho sweetly scented summer with its breezes soft nnd mild, And the laughing little brooklet dancing like a happy child, And the shimmer of the sunshine over nil the happy land, Tousled grasses la the meadow, lenfy wood so green nnd grand, Make you think there’s nothing grander —summer’s just superfine! But it doesn’t stir your pulses like tho happy Christmas time! 0, the happy days preceding, when there’s secrets everywhere, Love-light beaming in all faces, drowning out our petty care; There’s love and lilt and lightness that no poet has expressed,! There’s harmony and gladness that the summer never guessed, There’s something most appealing in the Yuletide’s silver chime That makes every heart beat happy for the joyful Christmas time! —Darius Enrl Mnston. CHRISTMAS 1931. Give me your love on tills Christmas Day; Give me your thoughts,' wlion the chimes nro ringing; Send mo happier along the wny;— Deop in my soul let your words be Binging. Give me your wishes ns bolls sound clonr, Charming tho air with their, golden measure. Give me your hopes for the unborn year. Fill up my lionrt with a secret treasure, Give me the things you long to sny. All of your tendorest dreams unfetter; Give mo your love, on this Christmas Day— But ‘ ‘ come across, ’ ’ please, when times got bettor. Omar Klayyam said he could dine on a loaf of bread and a jug of wine with Her beside him, nnd feel contont in the wilderness—but he only meant that he liked the desert nnd his old tin Lizzie, and tho crooked roads' that make you dizzy, that start any place and lead no where, and just keep going and nevor care. 1 He liked the mesquite and the gronsewood smell and the long hot days that feel like h—1; the red sunsets and the cool moonlight, and the soft, sweet air of the desert night—for Omar Klay yam was a wonderful man, who lived bis life on. an easy plan, with his girls and his wine and a big silk tent—My, oh, my! What a,life,ihe spent. . . The -desert is here like it always was—but you can’t Klayyam any more, bocuz in these dry days when every, home brew is on the list of things taboo, old Omar Klayyam nnd his jug of juice would soon got locked in the cnlabooso.—Salome ?Ariz.)

It seems that whore one has grown a little old the best and happiest wny to eelobrato Chrlstmns is to do somothlng for remembrance—in remembrance of one’s own childhood, for Christmas is really for tho children, aftor all. It is for children more that for others because it is a day that commemorates tho birth of a child—that wondrous Christ child that was born in n mnngor of a stable in the little town of Bethlehom 2,000 years ago. Now, there will be scarcoly a child in all the world who will not await tho dawn of Christmas morning with a wondering soul. It is tho dawn of that day when the morning stars sang together, and when “peace on earth and good will to ward men ’ ’ were proclaimed from the high heavens. But thoro will bo many a child to whom Christmas will not bring its dearly longed-for happiness, . The children of tho rich will not bo disappointed, nor should the children of the very poor be disappointed. It is the child who has rich or well-to-do’fdlks, but who, at-the same timo, is not subject for charity, who will bo veoy unhappy when Christinas comes And it is this child that you should seek out nnd mnko happy—for romcm broncos. You see, it is a fnct that wo can mnko a happy Christmas for ourselves only by making someone olso happy. Do not think you can mako a happy ChristmnB for yourself any other way, because you cannot. Try tho way hero pointed out. Tho child is easily found, and when you have found that ono and have made it-happy, t-ho very angels of God will envy you the gladness that you will feel. WHY THE CHRISTMAS KISSES. Why should men kiss girls who stand under mistletoe? Becauso they like it and because cus tom allows it. Every kiss'uridor tho mis tletoe, however, is a kiss which eolebratos ono of the most charming evonts in Christmas tradition. Tho romance goes bnck to tho days of the gods of Scandinavia, when Bnldnr tho Beautiful wns shot by Locke, the Spirit of Evil, with an nrrow of mistle toe. But his mother, Venus of tho North)* restored him to lifo by saluting with kisses all who pnssed beneath a branch held aloft in her hand.. Thus it beenme nn emblem of lovo and happy celebration. Ancient races held tho plant in groat veneration, particular ly tho Druids, who went in procossion in tho forests to collect it. After New Year’s Day it wns distrib utod among the people as n sacred and holy plant. If any part of the mistletoo touched the ground it was regarded as nn omen of impending evil, THIS BUILDING PAYS TOR ITSELF IN GARAGE RENT SAVED DO YOU realize how much garage rents— constantly increasing—add to the “over* head” in. keeping a car?

Whether wo shout it or sing it, wc must bo sure to mean it; for if we really mean it when we sny, “Merry Christ mas, everybody,” wo will do nil in our power to mako Chrlstmns a day of un sullied joy for all those within reach of our influence. • Christ enmo into the world to bring light, which brings joy. ..He .came to bring deliverance to men; to inspire a higher hope in tho spirit of men. That is the causo of the deepest joy to man kind. Yes, Christmas is a joyful day ns well as a snored day. It is a day for doing good deeds, ns well as thinking good thoughts. It is not a day for receiving gifts only. There are so many opportunities for doing good that we may receive joy a hundredfold, with tho expenditure of juBt a littlo time and thought. There are so many who have little; many who do not know tho mean ing of this day as yon know it; many whoso spirits nro crushed by disnster. Remember them I — o - . (Communicatod.) CAN’T SUPPORT FAMILY A YEAR ON $1.75. I noticed in Tho Herald last week that the County Commissioners will dis pose of most of the county convicts, abolish tho camps, and sell the mules belonging to tho county—this step taken to save expenses. I don’t understand why the county cnn’‘t go ahead with road work now at less expense than over before. Labor and ovorything else is cheaper, and the county must have money for this work. No ono else has, nt any rate. I had ten acres in cotton this year, and realized just $11.75 from my crap. The county got $5 of this sum us roud tax. While the County Commissioners are trying to save-money, why don’t they reduce tho rood tax? At least, I wish they would tell mo how I can support my family for n year on the 51.75 left aftor paying my tax to keep up tho roods. W. W. Johnson, R. F. D. 2, Nownnn. CHRISTMAS GIFTS. Glad Christmas Day is hero again, with loving word and deed, When all got much they do not want, and little that they need; The baby’s jacket cousin sent wc can’t get on at all, And mother’s slippers are too large, and father’s are too small. Anil sister Zella got a hood sho’ll be ■ afraid to wear. Because its color clashes with the color of her hair; And brother Henry got some books from pious uncle Ned, And after he had told him, too, he hoped he’d send a sled. 666 is a prescription for Colds, Fe ver and LaGrippe.
