APpoNTMESr.-Among the list of
appointments made by Gov. Chamber
lain last week is that of Capt. Jesse C.
Smith vice D. R. Phifer, rejected, to the
important office Of County Treasurer.
We believe this appointment will give
general satisfaction to the community,
his record in the Clerks oficc-a posi-
ton which he has held for the last two
years-entitling him to the confidence
of the public. We tender him our con-
gratulations and hope that the relation
between him and the taxpayers will be
as satisfactory rs that experienced in
the Clerks office. lie will enter upon
the discharge of his duties Immediately.
The appointments in Lexington of S.
Corley, Treasurer, and G. E. Leaphart.
Auditor, gives satisfaction in that coun'
tV.

CHRISTMAS IS COMING fact, Is
almost come, and how glad the little
folks arc. How full Of anticipation
for the good Santa Claus, the old time
friend Of children, will be around
knocking at the doors, or rather sliding
down the chimneys, loaded with every
imaginable kind Of present. How much
are they to be envicd. The amount of
happiness in store for them is incalcula-
bic, and there isn't m old fogy in the
land who would not like to be n child
again, just for one night. Enjoy it,
children, be happy while you may, but
remember in your happiness-you who
are so fortunate-that there are many
little children who will not be so highly
favored rs you, because they have no
fathers OF mothers to speak to Santa
Claus and tell him what their little ones
most need, or like the best. Don't be
selfish, and as fur as possible share with
the less fortunate ones. We recollect
hearing one little fellow, years and years
ago, say, with tear in his eye, "Christ-
mas is all over now lie had eaten
the last morsel of his Christmas pie,
and it was quite soon in the morning,
too. Poor little fellow, it was all he
had. Hunt up such little chaps and
share with them, children, and tell pa
and ma to ask Santa Claus to give the
poor little children something.

TRYING EXPERIENCE.-The closing
DAYS of last week were the most trying
of all the days in tho year, and such
another experience it was confidently
hoped would not fall to our lot again.
But we were disappointed. On the
first occasion we got hold of L piece OF
beef which was so tough that the con-
clusion arrived at was, that the animal
from which it was taken was one OF the
pair (and it was hoped the last onc)
which preceded old Father Noah into
the Ark. 1t defied al efforts to cook 1t
done or tender; the longer the trial the
harder it became, and the more it twist
ed and shrank away from the bones.
Then the attempt to eat it-ugh! Three
DAYS cooking and rs many efforts to eat
and still it remained the same hard,
impact, stubborn stuff. At length II
was given over in despair, and the con-
soling thought indulged, that the AMI
nal was out of the way and that 1t was
the last of the ancients. Alter lVlne
on soups and other light food a few day.
