, CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL.

On Christmas day large number %
the citizens of Hineston Ward, assem-
bled at New Hope Church in the pine
woods, to celebrate the day and hav.
good time generally. The Temper
ance Council at this place turned out
in full force, and after admitting e
number of members, formed process.
sion nnder the direction of Col. J. F.
hathaway, the Grand Cyclops of the
organization, the procession marched
through the tall pines and kept time
to the tune of Dixie, performed by Mr.
Bruce on an excellent violin;. each
member had on a beautiful badge OF
red, white and blue, and made quite a
picturesque and lively appearance.
The day was splendid, and every one
seemed animated and cheerful. The
occasion forcioly recalled to my mind
the good old times of ante bellun,
days. l enjoyed myself very much.
The young ladies were as gay and
lively as larks, and seemed ali Joy and
life. The cordial Christmas greeting
and the Merry Christmas gift was
heard on every hand. The whole
scene was beautiful picture of coun.
try life, and good will reigned su.
preme. Tie old log Church and school
house was dressed with branches of
the holly and vines. The red holly
berries looked so bright aud cheerful,
and we have to thank the school chill.
dren for their taste in this matter.
About II o'clock the Temperance
Council and the citizens took seats un-
der a large arbor in front of the
Church. II IFE.V
Mr.. j. T. Blackwell was then intro
duced by Col. Hathaway. He pro
ceeded to elucidate many round truths,
both npon temperance and education,
which was received with cheers from
the gentlemen and waving of hand
kerchie's among the ladies, which
forcibly reminded me of my earlier
days. MIR. Blackwell is only a so.
journer in the Pine Woods for the
present. but we hope to make him a
permanent fixture among Us, to "teach
the young idea how to shoot" q
After Mr.. Blackwell concluded Col.
Hathaway was loudly called for, who
responded in really excellent address
on the subject of Temperance. He
spoke very feelingly and forcibly in
relation to intemperance on the part of
large number Of public officers, and
the great harm this vice had wrought
in the administration of our public
affairs. sincerely trust that his
plain and maEly remarks will make
lasting impression upon all who
heard them, and that they will profit
by the holnely truths they contained.
After the speaking the ladies spread
a bounteous and excellent dinner from
their capacious baskets, which was
partAken of with zest that was truly
refreshing The dinner was really a
credit to any community, and l, for
one, tender the ladies my congratula-
tinns upon their success in this line.
The day ended with music, and
every one returned home in a pleasant
and joyous mood. Thus passed my
first Christmas in the Piney Woods.
This is quiet, orderly and indus
trious neighborhood, on the Ca'casieu
river, three or four miles below
Hineston, and the people here are
warm friends of the DEMOCRAT.

As shown in the case OF A. I. Stewart,

Of prominence and wealth. is not always
to BE- let alone. even after death. Dur.
ing life he was a prominent subject for
trade aud speculation and now his poor,
worm out corpse. rudely dragged
out Of its grave. Is held in
secret mercenary hands as a subject for
eold.bloodsd trade and speculation. 1t
Is bad enough to be made q mark for
sensational yarns and humbugs during
ones life without narrowing up ones
remains and memory after death. Yet
such ever has been the penalty OF
wealth and prominence. Here on the
