A KISS BY M00NLiG hit.

From time ~immemoral, no one will
pretend to deny the fact that kisses have
been held in high reputc by both sexes
whether active or passive. 1t has been
decided that a LEGAL KISS implies
ACTION on both parties but when a
lady simply consents to be kissed with
out action of her lips, it constitutes only
a PASSIVE kiss-a sweet deprived of its
nectar.
Snugiy ~ensconced within a moss.em-
powered and vine clad %verandah, and al
most hid from view amid sweet.sented
honeysuckles, was seated a fair Atlanta
nymph, whose beautiful dark eyes, ala
baster complexion and voluptuous con-
tour. seemed to DAZE the young gent
by her side, who ever and anon, while
communicating her slender waist, gave
her q BUSS and then q RE-BUSS, to the
amazement of a pedestrian who happen
ed to be passing that beautiful moonlight
night. At that moment the lover was
heard to ask, "My dear darling Sarah
Jane, you are becoming more beautiful
every day; your eyes sparkle with more
%bri'liancy, your once pale cheeks have
been palHted by the roseate hues of mas
ture, and you seem to have entirely re-
gained your health. Will you tell me
the cause of the change?

effective blood remedy known as 3. B.

THE HOLIDAYS.
Events OF the Week, Social and Otherwise,
In Jonesboro.

a y
in Jonesboro.
christmas passed off perhaps as pleas.
ah'iy as ever before. The young people
managed to have several very ENJOYABLE
social entertainments and the older ones
enjoyed themselves in a variety of quiet
ways.
christmas morning opened with cloudy,
misty weather, and the day in this re-
spect was quite disagreeable, but the
young folks cracked their torpodoes, and
shot their crackers regardless OF weather
ana seemed to have a good time. I'm
fortunately, about noon the crackers
gave out, then went up q mournful howl
from the youngsters which might have
Deen heard for miles, but they soon tired
OF this and sought other pastimes during
the rest of the day and an almost Sunday
quietness prevailed on our streets. The
other events of the week were, an enter
talnment for the Sunday school of the
LIST Presbyterian church at DR.. Z. L..
Deaderick's, on Christmas eve; the mem.
bers heartily enjoyed themselves.
Christmas night a Sunday school soci.
able came off at the Second Presbyterian
church. The entertainment consisted
OF music and refreshments and a recita.
ton by Miss Katie Oakley. A pleasant
and happy evening was spent.
On Sunday, following Christmas, at
the Baptist church, Santa Claus appeared
and distributed goodies in the shape of
oranges, candies, nuts, etc.
One of the leading social events of the
week was a party on Monday Dec. 2S, at
the residence of Mrs. NJ. S. Mahoney.
About thirty Of the elite participated in
the enjoyment Of the evening and par
took of the elegant refreshments prepared
for them.
On Saturday night of Dec. 26, a party,
of young folks enjoyed themselves at the
residence of l. II. Akin.
The young men of fourteen to sixteen
summers, or thereabouts, entertained the
young ladies of their age handsomely at
the residence Of Mr., and Mrs. A. G.
Mason, on New Years night.
On the same evening the younger boys
and girls enjoyed themselves hugely at
DR.. d. ]. Gibson's. where A reception
was given them.
The wee ones were entertained at Mrs.
Munsey's. Except that little Bob broke
his lantern and became somewhat dis
heartened while going after his lady, the
evening passed off in the pleasantest way
imaginable.
Miss Fain made a little entertainment
for the pupils in her grade at the public
school one evening last week.
The colored Methodists celebrated with
a Christmas tree and exercises appropriate
to the occasion.
AT the colored school, Christmas eve,
speaking, singing and various exercises
we're had.

charge of Oakley when his mother died.
He was almost idolized by his father and
grand parents. Oakley was a sensible,
sprightly little boy; could read, write and
cipher. l remember taking his little
cousins 10 visit him at his grand
What a pleasant, happy visit it was. He
spoke of visiting these little cousins be-
fore he took sick. He said he wanted 10
go on q week day 50 they could play. A
short time before his death his father
asked him if he wanted to get well, he
said, II want to be an angel; l want TO
60 home to Heaven to sec my mother"
1t is hard for his relatives and friends to
part with him but the separation may not
be long. What a grand and glorious con-
ISOLATION it will be when done with the
trials of life to meet the many dear ones
on the other shore.
