On Friday night, in company with John
T. Moore Esq, we attended Christmas
entertainment at Columbia School House,
some two miles above town. This enter
tainment was gotten up by Mr.. S. E.
Brookins, Supt, and his assistants in the
Columbia Sunday School, and was man
aged by the Supt., Mr.. Kinneer-who
teaches the day-school at Columbia-Mr.
James Chambers, and others. 1t was a
magnificent success throughout. The
neighborhood about Columbia is noted.
both for the numbers that attend meet
ings, and the good behavior of those at
tending. On this occasion the house was
literally packed with people, SO full, in
fact, that the doors had to be closed be-
cause there was not even standing-room
for any more. Owing to the uncom-
Portable situation of the audience, Mr..
Moore, who had been invited to deliver a
lecture suitable to the occasion, did not
talk long, fastening through the dis
course, and leaving out much oft. After
the discourse the attention of all was di-
rected to large Christmas-tree which

room, and having upon its branches a
large number of nice presents, besides
packages of candies for the members of
the School. These were taken down by
Mr.. Kinneer and Mr.. Willard Keenan,,
while Mr.. Brookins called the names, and
the presents were thus distributed. The
Sunday School, we believe, has an enroll
ment of more than one hundred, and a
regular attendance of some eighty or more.
Mr.. Brookins has been the Superintend-
ent for long time, and has proven an
earnest, faithful, Christian worker. Elder
S. H. Bingham, on behalf of the School,
presented Mr.. Brookins with large and
beautiful picture in a rich frame, as a
token of the Schools appreciation of his
work. Elder Bingham did some excel
lent singing, as did also choir of hand
some young ladies belonging to the
School. Taken altogether, this evening
with the Columbia Sunday School was a
grand one, and we believe enjoyed by all
present. We trust the School may con-
tinue the good work, and attain still
grander results. It is good School.

To rejoice with ruddy glow;

Nor hearken to sorrows cry,
With the sound of revels fill the air

One tradition is that when Jackson
was first surveyed for the purpose of lay
ing out in town, the surveyors outfit
consisted of his surveying instruments, a
wagon, barrel of whisky, and tin cup.
If the original survey has been changed
slightly in some respects, the whisky has
been with the town ever since.

Kings, %, LIB.
| Josiah was eight years old when he began
| to reign, and he reigned thirty and one years
in Jerusalem. And his mothers name was
Jediah, the daughter of Adaiah of Boscath
And he did that which was right in the
sight of the Lord, and walked in all the way OF
David his father, and turned not aside to the
right or the left
And it came to pass in the eighteenth year
| OF king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan the
son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the
Scribe, to the House of the Lord, saying,
Go up to Hilkiah, the High Priest, that he
may sum the silver which is brought into the
house of the Lord, which the keepers of the
door have gathered of the people:
And let them deliver it into the hand of the
doers of the work, that have the oversight of
the House of the Lord: and let them give it to
the doors of the work, which is in the House of
the Lord to repair the breaches of the house.
Unto Carpenters, and builders, and masons,
and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the
house.
Howbeit there was no reckoning made with
them of the money that was delivered into
their hand because they dealt faithfully.
And Hilkiah, the High Priest, said unto
Shaphan the Scribe, I have found the book of
the law in the House of the Lord. And Hill
kiah gave the book to Stephan, and he read it.
And Shephan the Scribe came to the king,
and brought the king word again, and said,
Thy servants have gathered the money that
was found in the house, and have delivered it
into the hand of them that do the work, that
have the oversight of the House of the Lord.
10 And Shaphan the Scribe, showed the king
saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me
book. And Shaphan read it before the king.
IL And it came to pass when the king had
heard the words of the book of the law, that be

Josiah assembled the throne when but
eight years of age, and was perhaps un
der guardianship from that time until
his sixteenth year. He was one of the
most Jealous and religious of.all the de-
scendants of David. After living a grand
life, for thirty-one years, he fell in battle
on the plain of Esdraelon, while defend
ing the land against the Egyptians.
He lived good life in spite of the most
discouraging and evil surroundings. The
members of his official household were
corrupt, and the susceptible years of his
youth were spent amid these bad exam
pies and influences, yet he did right,
through them all. He ignored the exam
pies of his father Anon, and his grand
father Manasseh, and chose the example
of his ancestor David. He found the
affairs of the kingdom in decidedly bad
condition. He tore down the "high
places" destroyed the idols, and brought
forth the ancient law, and gave it au-
thority and respect. He repaired the
house of the Lord with money collected
from the people, and paid the money to
the workmen and those in charge, treat
ing them as honest men, whom it was
perfectly safe to trust, for "they dealt
faithfully" in those days. The book
found was copy of the law of Moses
used in the temple
He realized that the iniquity of Judah
was in great danger of invoking Divine
wrath, and he therefore felt an anxiety
for his own soul as well as for his people.
II commanded the chief men to go and
learn of the will of the Lord. The reign
of Josiah was bright spot in generally
dark history-a ray of Gods glory shin
ing through the dark cloud of sin. The
lesson of that life is that amid all the
surrounding discouragements and evils,
the soul should be steadfast in faith, and
the heart filed with nobility of purpose.

An Important Duty
DEMANDING The ATTENTION OF ALL
Coop CITIZENS !

There will, in few weeks, be an i'm
portant duty requiring the attention OF
the citizens of this town, and duty
which it would seem almost criminal to
neglect. The increase of drunkenness
and crime in many portions of the coun-
try has called out organizations of deter
mined citizens having for their object
the enforcement of the law, and the pro-
lection of society. Where these desira-
BILE ends can be accomplished without Or
ganizing new methods, it is still better.
There are laws enough, if properly en-
forced, to preserve a respectable degree
of order, and keep crime within very
close limits. What is wanted is deter
mination and demand on the part of the
| law abiding citizens, that the laws and
ordinances shall be enforced, and this de-
mand should be made effective by very
firm and decisive action at the polls. We
are not finding fault with the present
we are dealing with the future. The
time has already come when every law
abiding citizen can see the great danger
of neglect of important duty. 1t is time
for every man who thinks that Christian
ity, peace, and common decency, are bet
ter than bowling, raving, drunken mad
men, to resolve that henceforth his entire
energy shall be enlisted for the purpose OF
bringing about better state of things.
What can be done? Several things, but
the most effective will be for citizens-of
both political parties-who believe that
Jackson is not owned and controlled by a
few doggeries, to attend the primaries in
the Spring election, and see to it that no
man is nominated on either side who will
not pledge himself to remain outside of
the doggeries, and to enforce the law to |
it's full extent. Then let thorough or
ganization be kept up, and the first times
an officer is known to go into a saloon or
gambling den, let there be such ringing |
demand for his impeachment and dis
charge as will command immediate at
tention and respect.
Too much carelessness has been mani
fest in permitting the primaries to go by
default. 1t has come to be serious mat
ter, demanding action from every good
citizen, that the town be relieved from
the drunken, bowling, swearing mobs
that have disgraced it. Let every good
matter what political party
he belongs to-resolve to attend the pri-
maries in the Spring, and when the dog
gerry interest comes fling into the room
with its scores of victims as hackers, let
it be sat down upon in a most vigorous
and effective manner, no matter what
side it appears upon. 1t is not necessary
to cite evidences of the need of such act
ion. That the situation is becoming ser
ous, there is no possibility of doubt.
