Messer, daughter of s. C. Messer, living
two miles from town, were married last

groom were raised here.
The cotton has turned out beyond any

weather has been lovely for this season,
but it is raining now. Plenty of stock

turned into stock farming county, with

plenty of sorghum, millet, hay, etc.

Christmas All the Year.
Mr.. Curtis in the Easy Chair.


Once there was a maid, Marian, who
played at forfeits and snap-dragon
and watched the morris dancers and
hobby horse and heard the waits singing
under the cool moon and at last, caught
beneath the mistletoe, she paid the
sweetest forfeit of all. And in the bot
tom of her heart, despite her rosy cheeks,
she felt that she paid it willingly and
secretly sighed to think that Christmas
comes but once year. But long after
ward, when for many q year she
had been married TO the youth who
caught her beneath the sacred bush, as
she made the plum pudding every Christ
mas and helped to hang the little stock
ings by the fireside and hunted the slip
per and gayly bIuffed the blind man,
she remembered that it was not the snap
dragon or the waits, nor even that hapE
forfeit which made the old Christmas,
but-sopething that did not set with the
sun LRor die with the carol of
the waits. She was caught now
under the mistIetoe, not by that youth
only, but by the little fellows with pudgy
arms, who covered her all over with
kisses, and when she was tired of romp-
ing and the little fellows with pudgy arms
were fast asleep holding their dolls and
horses and elephants and dogs, she said
TO that youth of other years: ''It was
not the games a1l.the pudding. sud the
mistletCe that made the old Christmas-it
WAS love, and love makes Christmas all
