Mr.. EDITOR AS it is too late to
wish you a merry Christmas, we
will just say nothing about if, but
when you receive this uext Monday
morning, just imagine that we are
wishing you happy New Year.
Goodness! Graciousi what a
snow Everything in this country
is completely covered. Having no
thing particular to say to you, we
have not written for some time, but
can't resist the temptation now to
tell you about our nice Christmas
tree that we had at the Methodist
Church on last Monday night for
the Sunday school. 1t was q very
pretty tree, and nearly loaded down
with nice and handsome presents
for the children, both large and
small, and Notwithstanding the in
clemency of the weather the house
was literally crowded. The exer-
else of the evening began with q
song by the Sunday school, and q
prayer by our much loved pastor,
Rev. 2. A. Sowell, and then we had
very beautiful and pleasing ad
dress by the Rev. Mr.. Dinwiddie, OF
Pulaski. We would like to be able
to find words to express our thanks,
and to tell him how much we appre-
ciate his kindness in coming so far
through the snow and mud to make
us an address which we listened to
with the greatest pleasure. 1t would
please us much to have him come
to see us often. When Mr.. Dinwid-
die had ceased speaking, Santa
Claus made his appearance and gave
the presents to those for whom
they were intended. We can't say
much for his beauty, as he was
nearly as wide out as he was high
up, but the children think he is the
best man in the world. He made
short speech very suitable for the
occasion. Being a man of short
stature he could not reach very
high, and consequently had to call
for the assistance of Mr.. A. w.
Moore (who is long for this world
and the next too, we hope). Mr..
Moore gave his assistance in a very
graceful and becoming manner. AT
ter the distribution of the presents,
the exercises closed with song by
the Sunday school. Taking all to
gether, it was a very happy and
merry Christmas evening for all
present. Tuesday was a very cold
and disagreeable day; at least we
suppose some of the gent-whew
goodness we like to have said it,
but didn't. We meant to say we
suppose some of the men thought
SO, as we saw several gcing out of
town with about as much of the
double distilled essense of corn
as they could well carry. Guess it
was taken for warming purposes.
The young folks have q party
somewhere every night. 1t would
be tedious and tiresome to you to
mention them singly and separately.
Rhere will be party at Mr. e. N.
Grigsby's to night which of course
will be nice affair, as they never
have any other kind. We are not
going to say anything about that
oyster supper at Mr.. Moore's last
night, but can safely say that this
part of the company enjoyed it
hugely. Know of no amusements
for tomorrow. On Sunday we will
have sermon by Rev. Mr.. Sowell,
also on Sunday night, which we
hope will be for US happy closing
of the old year.
Now, Mr.. Editor, you need not
think that bridge has played OUT
because we have not commenced |
it. We have been too
busy about the election this fall to
make bridges, but will begin it next
March Immediately after the inau-
guration of Mr.. Tilden.
Every time we have read your
paper for the last three or four
weeks, we have felt that we missed
from the upper part of
5he county. Do you know what
t is? Deer Doth. MAxIMA.
