GAINESVILLE, January "a.
Jingle, Jingle down the hills
O'er the meadows past the mills;
Now It's slow and now tits fast,
Winter will not always last;
Jingle, jingle, Clear the way!
'Tis the merry, merry Sleigh
The sleighing is glorious, We know,
and is being enjoyed Ia its fullest ex-
trnt by our people, both old and young.
And fond memory brings 20 older
hearts
Is THE light Of other days"
And they repeat as they glide swiftly
along,
Backward, turn backward,
q tiEie, in your hight!'
While the soft music Of the bells falls as
sweetly upon their ears as in the long
ago, and makes them for the moment
young again.

six 10 seven cents per bushel by those
banks. Country banks are still fur-
nishing coal at six cents.
