THE COMING XflAS.
Let Us Make Each Other Happy and
Rejoice That Times Are no
Worse With Us.
The coming of Christmas times
are fast approaching and as we
would be happy with our readers
wo are going to ask those who are
in arearswith the paper to try and
make settlements with us. You
say I don’t owe the paper much
and you will pay it shortly. This
is true, but dear readers there are
four or five hundred due these lit
tie amounts and they are going to
pay us shortly. Friends we are in
need of the money now and ask of
yon to come forward now and set
tie like a man.
Having employed a first-class
newspaper man to assist us with
ths work of giving you a good pa
per we must have the money with
which to compensate him for his
labors. The paper shall not lack
in reading matter ns you will note
from issue to issue,and as the hoi
iday season is approaching we
trust you will remember us after
lingering the woleyear to give y :u
a paper that is well worth tlm
price we ask for it. Our Mr.
Booker is a man of family and we
will gladly accept any farm pro¬
duce you may wish to dispose of
at market prices. Such as pota¬
toes, eggs, chickens, etc., and even
ha.._gjadly_accepwd.
is impossible to make a good pa
jper with nothing, Consider the
paper and ink bills, house rent,
wood and postage hills and a mini
-bar of others that must be paid in
order to print the paper and we
are sure you will come to our aid
at once.
Remnniber we believe the cause
we advocate is juet and right and
the time is not far -distant when
we shall see our labors triumph, in
fact the silver lining behind the
dark cloud is already showing and
men who once opposed u» are to
day advocates of some it' not all of
our principles. So come to see us
at the same old stand where we
are still banging away for the peo
pie in whose welfare we are a stock¬
holder.
Child Burned to Death.
The little two-month’s old baby
hoy of Mr. and Mrs. Cohen Sum¬
ner, Jr., living near Span, Ga„ was
accidentally burned on Monday so
that it died Tuesday morning.Mrs.
Sumner had just left the house and
had her baby snuggly wrapped in
a cotton qu.lt. One of the little
hoys, who was playing with a
lighted stick, in some way let the
quilt catch and in a second the
baby was developed in llames.
The mother heard her children
•creaming and rushed in to find
her baby nearly burnt to a crisp.
She quickly rescued her child from
the flames but of to no avail, and
after suffering from 12 o’clock on
Monday till 4 o’clock on Tuesday
morning, the little sufferer breath¬
ed his last.
We,ns well as the people of that
community,extend our sympathy
and may God pour out His healing
halm to their aching hearts. The
little fellow is extending to papa
and mama beckoning hands.

THE OYSTER SUPPER.
Held Last Friday Night at the College
Was a Huge Success and a
Good Sum is Raised.
That the oyster supper last Fri
day night at the college was a
grand success is only putting it
mildly, it was a huge affair from
beginning to end, and those who
were in charge in getting up the
affair are to be complimented on
making it the richest social event
of the season,
The supper was for the benefit
of the Methodist Sabbath School,
and fhat it was so liberally pat
ronized by oar citizens was hut
right and proper,
One table took in about six dol
lars and sixty cents which was the
highest. ' There were six tallies in
11 and judging that five of them
took in twenty dollars between
them the total amount would be¬
nearly thirty dollars,
Besides oysters there were many
other toothsome dishes and taking
it all together ; t waa a supper cal
ciliated to tickle the palate of a
king, and those who participated
thereof await an early repetition
of the same.
