Mr.. and Mrs. a. Bailey were happy
in making a party for their children
and grandchildren on Christmas dav.
In the evening u Christmas tree de-
lighted the little folks, the older ones
participating with equal pleasure in
the festivities.
The young folks who were there

AS large Il crowd us it is often the
pleasure to witness in these parts col
lected III the M. K. church at Salem
Station on Christmas Eve. The assem-
blage was distinguished looking,
stamped with culture and coed breed
ing to which are ascribed the decorum
and good order observed throughout
the evening Peace and good will
reigned in their hearts in consonance
with the occasion, IialloWed by the re-
membrance of the birth of the BABE
they celebrated.
Fire time was passed very pleasantly
but owing to much dining and the con-
|seq,tent indisposilion or something
else, it was concluded to forego the
literary exercises which probably
might have been pleasrrably inters-
persed and thereby more faithfully full
filled the programme contemplated
and advertised.
Howbeit, the supper was prodigal
and many partook thereof. Four ia
bles, each capable of seating about
! thirty persons were filed three times,
as nearly as could be estimated, and
the number of tickets sold ut 40 cents
single tickets, rs cents q couple, half
price for children, amounted to 500

The band were on hand and resumed
their ministry of music several times
during the evening with enliyening
effect.
Lastly, the Christmas tree, the
Browning pleasure of the evening scat

Eblage in the season of yielding its
fruit, Was Il goodly tree burdened with
Igifts. Gifts were also seen on line
and table.
+ The table, covered with squeaking
dogs, and other inanimate quadrupeds,
Ea miniature engine in running order,
just the thing for boys, and fascina-
ting Miss Dolly, dressed in the height
OF doll fas: ion, admired and coveted
by the little girls, not to mention many
Iother children's toys; besides presents
OF greater pretensions for the grown.
offer ed great attractions for the little
ones.
They were irresistibly drawn around
the table and Wistfullv scanned the
pretty toys, in an ecstacy of delight
remarking upon them, though they
scarcely offered to touch them. Thus
the childran's nice manners as we'll as
their JOY pleased Santa Claus more
than he could express, and no doubt,
Idoubly repaid him for so kindly re-
membering them with presents. w
