Oh CHRISTMAS EVE.

Put away your SEWN, Jane and lay your aside;
Tonight is the proper time to be thus occupied
l was somehow thinkIu, Jane, that twenty years
ago,
This very night, as how We sat and talked-O well,
you know.
Il doesn't seem SO long time. though years have
passed a score;
An yet I'd give my life almost, if could live them
oer.
There's many things I'd prove upon, an much I'd
leave undone,
maze US oae.
But, Jane, upon the whole think you cannot but
My arm has made good support, as yours has been
to me;
An all along these changing years, SO far as per-
ceive,
Cur love is Just as ardent, Jane. as on hGt Christ
mas eve.
OF course, we've had our ups and downs, an said
come hasty things,
But what of these when compared vita bliss that
followed the stings?
In fact I've thought when making up these little
"splts" of ours,
That ev,n spring would lose its glow, if not dis
turbed by showers.
An twenty years ago tonight 1 laid this precept
down,
That what should take the place of showers should
follow every frown.
Twas hard, at times, to keep this rule, but every
time I've won;
And always priced you m,re, because you'd mind
that was your own.
You're not as fair tonight, perhaps, as on that
Chr stmas
We sat and talked OF welded lfe-you wouldn't let
me leave
An what the neighbors thought about our starting
out in fe,
An how we'd manage household cares as welded
man and wife.
I ~ a1aff sta
not so bright;
Your cheeks have lost their maiden blush, your
voice is not as light;
But something to linger still cannot quite
explain
1t must be that love increases with years. and takes
new life again.
at least it seems more deep to me that when we sat
that night,
An vowed that none e'er loved so much, nor had a
better right
| made you vow5-you led me to-you knew I'd die
10 win,
But far from repenting now, I'd make them Ger
again.
AS how kept those promises I'll leave you to decide
But twas glorious victory when oyeIcame my
pride.
But somehow other, Jane, my love was so sincere
felt as humble as a slave, when thought what
might share.
OF course you knew the power you held, an loved
| to WELD it, too;
While l. like any foolish man, still more submissive
grew.
But no regret has crossed my mind meant Just
what said,
An I'd renew the VOWS made on the night before
wed.
That Christmas now don't seem just like the Chris.
mas days Of old,
Butwe passing onward, Jane it's we that change
the mold
| An let US hope that other hears upon this glad
return,
Have nodded Just as wise as we, an lived to love

The pistol was not over six inches from
his face. Duston Adams was there trying
TO pull Ed Adams away. He told Ed he
had killed Cox and to cUme and give him-
self up. He went out and gave himself
up. Cox had no pistol that | could see.
I did not take hold of Cox: | thought he
was dead. Mr.. Pool went in my store and
got behind little screen.

that morning. Mrs. Wheritt. the clerks
and several others were i'm my store. From
the report the first shot appeared to be In

went down Mr.. Dustan Adams rushed past
me and into the store.
The following is diagram of the house
