does not and can, is about the meanest
man God ever made. The very poor
who cannot buy because they have
nothing to buy with, are TO be pitied.
AS a rule they have as kind and loving
hearsts as those who can buy and are
able to give lavishly, and IT there
is one regretful thought in reference
to this day it is that there are chill
dren who are not and cannot be Ic-
remembered and who are deprived of
the sweetness of this glorious day.
Pause, one moment, ye rich and pros
porous, and ask yourselves, if there is
not poor child (never mind the par
ents on this day. within Your knowl-
edge that you can give something to
no matter what it is-if it only costs
% cents. If you could know how
wild and joyful that little heart would
bound, no matter if rags did cover it,
you would hunt the child up. OF
course there are men so mean
that they would see a
sweet faced little girl die in the gutter
before they would make heart glad
and pulsations quicken with love by
giving even nickel. Such men had bet
ter never have been born. Remember
the poor, we who are rich and able.
Look at the little, half starved faces
pressed up against the panes Of the
beautifully decorated show windows.
Do you see that eager and longing
look? Relieve it. Go down into your
dirty pocket and pull out that wallet
and buy the child a toy, and let one
good, generous act be reg stored in
heaven on the credit side. Don't for

Newspaper Suspension.

FoRr WORTH, Dec. 24.--Mr. j. &.
Martin, editor and proprietor of the
Labor Siftings, announces that the
publication of the paper will be dis
continued after tomorrow. The Labor
Siftings has been an ultra labor paper,
and during the strike on the South
western system was very violent in
its denunciation of railroads and the
officers who guarded railroad prop
crty. Financial trouble is the cause
of the suspension.

Joyful Day Has Come.

yfT6w is Christmas, the 1SS6th
anniversary Of the birth of Christ
Little children are rs familiar with
the birth and story of our Savior as
is the deacon or even the preacher
and perhaps there is no day in the
calendar that the children Of this
country so well understand rs this day
that is TO be celebrated tomorrow.
1t has become the practice in the last
100 years or more to make moro OF n
holiday of it than prior to that time.
The people have broader ideas and are
more generous in thought, and the
heart expands and so does the day;
that is, greater license for enjoyment
is permitted by society, religious or
otherwise; hence the good time that
everybody, from the waddling child
that just begins to prattle to the old
man in his easy chair. Every house
hold where few dimes or dollars can
be spared will be the scene
tonight, after the little ones
have gone to bed, of hustle
and preparation for tomorrow morn
ing. Who is it that has not expert
enced in his or her tender years, when
this memorable day first began to
dawn upon their minds, an event long
to be remembered and to be cherished
as among the most beautiful and low
ing of their lives, upon waking up
Christmas morn and finding that
Santa Claus had visited them during
the night and left them a beautiful
doll, sled, a wagon, pair of red-top
boots, a jumping jack, a railroad train,
top, ball, marbles, Noah's ark, a china
tea set. and thousand and one things
of little value within themselves, but
with untold wealth to those who
were the recipients. How it gladdcns
the heart Of the little one. How, in
after years, the memory is dear and
sweet. Ye who can, buy for your
dear ones: there is more IN it than
many think. Hundreds of children
are remembered because it is a reli-
gious duty; others are remembered
because the parents can afford it and
it is the custom, and the children
of these parents are boiling over with
happiness exhibiting their treasure;
hence, every one who can without en-
barrassment should buy something for
his or her child. The man who

This is the age of progress and
it takes good deal to astonish us,
and we were not prepared for the
new move proposed by a member
elect to the next Georgia legislature.
He called meeting Of his friends
and read for their approval the
draft of a bill limiting the profits
of the retail merchants on "store
goods 1t provides that merchants
shall not charge over fifteen per
cent on the necessaries of life, under
heavy penalties. He thinks the re-
suit of his bill will be to bring about
a revival of prosperity among the
poor. Merchants hereabouts would
be glad to receive fifteen per cent.
on their sales of the necessaries of
life or most any other class of ''store
goods" and let prosperity boom.

DEATH OF ELLIOTT III.

Died in Muscatine, Iowa, Nov
10th, 1886, Mr.. Elliott Hunt Smith,
at the residence Of his parents, west
Sd street.
Our city has never been more sud
denly and deeply immersed In sor-
row, thau upon the news winging
its way TO every circle and home.
this afternoon, that Elliott III. Smith
was de I'd. Deceased was born in
New York, in 1851, removing with
his parents to Muscatine, in his
youth at scheol, and at an early ape
entered Ann Arbor University. On
leaving college he became associated
with his father, It. ID. Smith, of this
city, in the real estate, loan and IN
surance business, which he followed
with marked success for number
OF years. His health becoming del
icate, he sought rest and recnpera-
ton IN travel, visiting California
and Mexico, and spending several
months in 2 southern cline. On
returning home with restored health
he resumed with zest his old busi-
ness relations in his fathers office
continuing the same until accepting
the general agency Of the Muscatine
Mortgage and Trust Company. The
duties OF this agency took him
