The Pope County Teachers
Institute met pursuant TO call, at the
college building, this place, last
Tuesday morning. The attendance
is not as large as desired, but the
ardor and zeal of those present COM
pensate for the numerical deficiency.

Let us abolish the Christmas tree
and return to the excellent way of eel
ebrating Christmas in the good old way
in the family circle. The Christmas
tree has become to be the very thing it
was not intended to be. 1t is a thing
for the grown up people. 1t was In
tended for the children. 1t is mostly
devoted to the larger ones. It's cle-
CANT gifts to some and poor ones to 9th
ers draws the contrast too painfully
plain between poverty and wealth, and
renders the poor children unhappy.
The Christmas tree was intended to
dispense bcneficence to the children,
the poor especially. But it has come
to mean rivalry between churches
and trees and presents, aud IN conse-
quence, many buy presents beyond
their ability. II then encourages prof
legacy. Taking all things into consid-
Grafton we vote for the modern Christ
mas tree to go, but it cannot unless all
will JON in the vote.
