We are happy to announce that these
two papers have been merged into The
DAILY TINES, and we believe that the
friends and patrons of both will be az
much gratifed as the owners of the WHO
and the TINES One has been the old
honored tradition of the profession in
Virginia, associated with illustrious
names and patriotic policy, and when q
number Of representative citizens under
took to reinstate II in the place from
which it had been taken tempo
rarily by trick Of politics, they
had the support of the community. 1t
happened just at the same time that the
TINES was started, and the people inter
ested in both papers have always wished
that they could agree and unite, and al
last they all on both sides feel great
pleasure in calling their friends to the
support of the paper which now repre-
senis both, and which we feel confident
will command the confidence of the peo-
pie and unite two powerful interests in
the same cause.

from his shoulder, and felled the foremost Of
the swindlers A second antagonist was
stretched on the floor an instant later. As
real turbulence is not deemed desirable in
these unlawful resorts, McGlory himself
came upon the scene and Quoted it.
Now comes the peculiar point in the nara

was going on, and IN hour or two later he re-

The Yule log as we call the typical
Christmas fireplace ornament, is a word
of ancient lore
Undoubtedly the cause which operated
TO fix the word Christmas on certain men
may be sought in paganism as well as
Christianity We know that the thirteen
days before and after Christmas were
called the thirteen Yules, and honored
by sports conducted by thirteen young
men dressed up to represent COLLINS or
saiyrs The lcelanders retain a proper
name, Jolfr, which appears to be derived
directly from Jol.
The lule Sawins' in old times had
duty to scare away demons by making
frantic noises and the small boy of to-
day acts that part without knowing
exactly why
