The bottom is apparently falling out of

prices with those of last week, Wednesday,
show the decline to have been 1902. % per

of 70 cents per cwt. Whether the pork

that the highest prices have been reached.

saBHATn-sCHooL FESTIVITIES.
Glorious Times with the SoHng
Folks.
Chirdren and chri..mas Trees.

The Sabbath School festivities of Nash
vile this season have not, we venture to
affirm, been excelled by those Of any city
in the land. Starry-eyed girls, and laugh
ing-eyed boys, by the hundreds, of the
several Sabbath Schools, their young hearts
all afutter, for the surprise of the uncover
ing Of the Christmas tree, and then the
ringing laugh, and hand-clapping that fol-
lowed the announcement of each gift, free,
JOYOUS and clear and natural as the stream
let's course adown the mountain side, of.
fered spectacle calculated to make the
old. % heart leap with young pulsations.
No Sabbath Schools are better conducted
or more largely attended than ours. We
group the exercises together in their order:
FIRST BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOL
The First Baptist Sunday school, one Of
the k0est in the land, held their celebration
on the morning Of Christmas day, at the
Baptist church on Summer street. The
| inauspicious weather did not keep many
children at home, nor did it prevent the
assembling of a goodly crowd of parents
and friends who thronged the pews, the
aisles and the galleries. Over the pews al
the right and left of the platform, the
"Amen corner" were erected ranges OF
seats, amphitheatre fashion, which were
filed with the children belonging to the
Infant Department and juvenile classes,
while older scholars had seats reserved on
the floor. Space will not permit more than
a brief mention of the varied and interest
ing exercises. The following was the
