Dec. 20, Z

There was Christmas tree here on
the evening of the Oath, largely at
tended. After few pointed remarks
by Rev. I. W. Brents and Maj. F. M.
Moffitt, the tingling of Santa Claus
bells was heard, and in that mysterious
way he made his appearance, declaring
himself glad to find so many of his old
friends there. He then proceeded to
the tree which he had so abundantly
and beautifully decorated with presents
and began to distribute them to their
proper owners.
MIR. ii. 9. Cox, of Spencer, cap
tured very large wild cat a few DAYS
ago. He says that in his attempt to
kill the cat he slipped and fell near

OF course fearful combat was the re-
suit. About this time that brave and
ever faithful friend, his dog, came up
and at once seized the ferocious animal
and in few minutes lad him dead,
thereby saving his master from serious
injury. Such dog should never be
forgotten.
There has been another wedding in
Spencer. On the 22d inst. E. T. Pas.

tween Mr.. j. E. Bouldin, of Laurel

What Think You OF 1t?

We condense from the New York
School Journal the following:
What do you think of dancing? A
great deal can be said about dancing.
For instance, the chief of police of New
York City, says that three tourths of the
abandoned girls in that city were ruined
by dancing.
Young ladies allow gentlemen privi-
leges in dancing which they would con-
slider highly improper under other cir
cumstances.
1t requires neither brains nor good
morals to be good dancer.
In ancient times the sexes danced
separately. Alcohol is the spirit of
beverages. So sex is the spirit of the
modern dance.
Tipping leads to drunkenness, and
parlOr dancing leads to the promiscuous
balls. Drunkenness and promiscuous
balls are roads in which no man learns
to be good, great, wise, or pious. They
are broad roads to ruin.
All we have to say is, if these things
be true, all intelligent men and women
will reflect on them; if not, they vii

How TO Preserve the Aroma of Coffee.

A French medical journal states that
the best method, and one practiced in
many of the establishments which have
established the reputation of furnishing
the finest coffee, is to sprinkle with a
small quantity of finely powdered sugar
while still in the rooster, and immedi.
ately remove from the fire, shaking for
few moments after, in order to bring
the sugar well in contact with the cof-
fee. The sugar fixes the volatile oil,
much of which is lost in the ordinary
process of roasting, by absorption. Of
course temperature sufficiently high
to burn the sugar must be av drd
