CHRISTMAS TTME.
Midnight Service Tonight at Christ
 Church.

church.
 The choral service in Christ church this l Thursday night will commence at 11:3O. This idea of 8 midnight service on Christmas eve | is very beautiful one and somewhat ancient in its origin. It seems very fitting, indeed. that those who can should be awake on Christmas eve, ''to salute the happy morn whereon the Saviour of mankind was born D even as it is right and edifying to sit up on New Years eve to watch the old year out and the new year in. Both are important epochs but the former far outstrips the latter, for Christmas commentaries the greatest event in the worlds history.
 The choir at this service will consist of Mrs. A. H. Robertson, Miss Carrie Phelps Miss Zilpha Hazlet of the Center church choir, Miss Fanny Root and Miss Ida Bassett of the Wooster Baptist church choir, F. w. Bush and Dr. Bush of the Center church choir, D. A. Jones, leader of the Davenport church male choir, Frank R. Langdale of the Dwight Place church choir and E. A. Smith of Trinity church choir, under the direction of Frank J. Linsley, organist of Christ church. A horse will leave for Westville a; the close of service.
 The following is the order of the service Carol-In the Early Morning. ng..................

Last evening Charley Downs, proprietor of the City Hall dining rooms, invited a few friends to partake of terrapin and canvas back duck in one of his private rooms. The delicacies were cooked to nicety and the re- past was heartily enjoyed by the partakers of it. The terrapin were caught in Madison and sent to Fire Marshal Kennedy, who turn ed them over to MT. Downs to dispose of AS he thought best. It don't matter where the "canvas backs" came from; it is quite sui, fcient that they came from somewhere and that they were ''just splendid" Both Mir Downs and the fire marshal received the thanks of the little party who enjoyed thei1 hospitality.
