Misses Dency and Oracle Walker sang

manner and we bespeak success for them
| in after years.
Master Seymour Pohe as Jack Frost, the
| mischievous sprite played his pranks well,
and pinched and poked Moneybags with
| his usual total disregard of etiquette.
Dressed in white suit sparkling with dia-
mond dust, he really seemed like the naugh-
| ty elf himself. Miss Lillian Walker in a
| lovely snow and ice suit was a veritable
| star as Jacks wife, and seemed the incar-
nation of mischief, as she and Jack dane
ing around Moneybags covered him nice,
with a coat of ice.
Master Ario Campbell the pugnacious
young page of Moneybag's was dressed in
jestcr's suit of bright red. He brought
| the house down as he made his appearance
in a somersault, and with comical attitude
announced Sir Santa Claus. Master Ario
certainly possesses superior talent, and with
effort and study will surely excel in liter
ary pursuits.
MISS MOTH Nuglc was lovely uo l. ar
Bountiful while old Santa Claus himself,
friend of the girls and boys, helper of their
fun and sharer of their joys, received the
accolade from the hand Of little Curley
Locks, completely routing the False Sir
Santa and amid general rejoicing was pro-
nounced the true one. This was acted by
Mr.. Silas Poulas. Ali enjoyed the exercises
very much, and the only criticism we
heard was that, it was too short.
Messrs. Warren Bittenbender, Joseph
Powlus, Jarius Miller and Chas Nagle, the
trusty police of the False Santa, also de-
serves favorable mention.
We cannot IN justice, close this article

The occasion was the rendering of a
Christmas Masque, entitled, The False Sir
Santa Claus. The house was nicely deco

long before the hour and the house was
filled to overaowing, many going away for

EDITORS COLUMBIAN:
have been reader of the Toledo Blade
for the last fifteen months and will venture
to say that a more radical Republican
sheet was never published. There is an
article in it signed "a Looker-On in Nor
gantown, Ky" He says there was gath
ering down in Dixie, and every Democrat
in the country swooped down on the quiet
little village with the old familiar yell OF
twenty years ago-such as we heard from
the hordes that followed Morgan and Ben
nett. He said they used language revolt
ing, madly yelling for jeff Davis, cursing
the names of the immortal Lincoln and
Garfield, claiming that what they had lost
at the point of the bayonet they had won
at the ballot box. AT last, he claims, they
pulled down the Blaine flag, &c. He says
they did not come from the sluns of the
Democratic party.
The Republicans are so completely
whipped that they are trying to incite
riot and bloodshed. and should be looked
after. The Blade charges the Democrats
with hard things. 1t calls them "bull-
doZers" and "ballot-box suffers" 1t says
"the daring deviltry of the domineering
Democratic party of the South has no
bounds. They live on hate. They retain
their power by brutal force" This re-
minds me of the brutal force used in the
late Rebellion, and the raids that were
made in our beautiful valley on inoffen-
sive Democrats by the iron heel of despot-
ism. In my neighborhood they dragged
forty-four of the best men in our valley
and incarce rated them in filthy dungeons,
there to linger until some of them were
brought home dead. Think of it, fellow coun-
try men and now they have the audacity
to charge us with all manner of cruelty. In
conversation with fellow Democrat the
other day he said Republican asked him
why he did not vote with the Republicans.
He said it was this one thing only; he be-
lieved in future rewards and punishments.
That's my fix, exactly, but | must say |
| don't believe or approve of the course the
Democrats are taking for the Inauguration.
Instead of that great ball think the nation
| had better be clothed in sack cloth and
ashes, and ask Gods guidance and direc-
tion in the future, or we may be visited
with greater calamity than the late war.
God save this nation, and make it God
fearing nation. A DEMOCRAT.

A CHANCE TO GET THE BEST DEMOCRATIC
PAPER IN THE COUNTRY

The New York World is acknowledged
to be the leading Democratic paper in the
United States. Everybody ought to take u
city paper in addition to IL local one. We
have made arrangements with the Weekly
World to club with the COLUMBIAN.
price of the Weekly World is S1.00 On
receipt OF $3.50 we will send the two pa.
pers to any address in the county, for one
year. Clubs of five persons at one post Of
fice can get them for $1,000 if ordered at
one time. This is a very liberal offer, and
is made for the purpose Of extending our
circulation and not because there is any
money in it,
We do not believe in the chrome bust
ness. All the county newspapers are pub
lished at rates so low that the margin OF
profit is very small, and unless all subscri.
bers pay up, the loss is nearly equal to the
profits. We consider that our readers get
the full worth of their money out of this
paper at $3.50 year, and we cannot af-
ford to give every subscriber gold watch
or piano, at that price. But we will do
this: Every subscriber who will pay up
all arrearages and one year in advance will
receive for one year, Good Cheer, a monthly
paper devoted to the interests of home and
family, and containing much valuable
reading matter. A sample copy can be
seen at this office. This offer will stand
only for limited time, and all who wish
to get $500 worth for $3.50, should attend
to it at once.

A Deserved Compliment.
A. w. SPEAR,
Sec'y.

Among the extensive general newspaper
advertisers of the country, the firm of
Wells & Richardson, of Burlington, Vt,
occupy very prominent position. They
expend over 800, 900 annually, and have
done so persistently for several years. OF
course they have become immensely rich,
the almost universal experience of those
who use printers ink literally, judiciousy
and persistently. The business of this
firm extending through every state and
through a general agency, They very
wisely selected Hubbard's International
Newspaper Agency, of New Haven, at the
outset and private letter from the home
office in Burlington, just received, speaks
OF the business having been done by Mr..
Hubbard in most thorough and satsfac-
tory manner. This testimony to the fidel-
ity and skill of our friend Hubbard in
transactions covering five years and involv-
ing an expenditure of more than half mil
lion dollars, is about as fine compliment
as he or any other reasonable man could
ask for or wish. There can be no doubt
that it is well deserved. From the Hartford,
Conn, Post.
