: Last Nights Festivities.
From Wednesdays Daily.1,

The Christmas eve exercises in the
churches were Of the usual cheerful order,
The spacious auditorium of the Presbyter-
Ian church was crowded with happy eager
eyed children and their parents, and the
Christmas tree was loaded with all those
good things which fill the youthful hearts
with glee and satisfaction. Presents Of all
descriptions--many of them costly and mag
ntficent. were distributed, and with music
recitations and pleasing addresses the en-
tertainment was one of the most suc-
cessful ever given in the city. Seldom has
there been larger attendance in Bis
marck church, and the faithful pastor and
generous ladies of the congregation won
the unbOunded admiration of the little
ones.
AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH.
When the Baptist Sunday school COM
menced last evening to celebrate the ap-
proach Of the holidays, every spot of room
was occupied. The superintendent had no
need to scold for tardiness, and the secre-
tary was SO surprised that he neglected his
regular duties entirely.
The rear of the pulpit was cut off by
curtain, above which limbs of evergreen
were visible and behind which Santa Claus
was supposed to be hidden.
After choice. programme by the mem
bers OF the school, messenger brought a
letter from Santa Claus, which state d that
an accident had thrown him and his load
into we'll, and that it was doubtful if he
would get out in time to be present. A
quartette then sang "The Old Oaken Buck
et," and when the curtain was drawn there
appeared among the evergreen trees that
sweep while an old man witt gray beard
was just about to draw pail of water. A
merry bunch of girls came forward, shout
ed Merry Christmas, Grandpa .'Christ-
mas Gift, Grandpa. etc, and when the
bucket came dripping from 'sthe well,n it
came filled with unmistakable evidence
that Santa Claus load was there, and then
oranges, nuts. candy and popcorn came
from that we'll until all we're satisfied,
santa Claus himself raised his head above
the ell-curbing and convinced all that he
was certainly at the bottom of it,

How They Made Merry.
[From Thursdays Daily.l

IL was CHRISTMAS weather. Many feared
that the 4th of July weather which has pre-
vailed during the past two months would
continue until after Christmas and thus
rob the day of that crisp and bracing at
mosphere which has characterized it from
time immemorial in the northern latitude.
But Santa Claus does not wear his furs in
sultry weather nor make his reindeers pull
his sleigh OD snOwless ground. He brought
King BOreas with him, and all the Christ
mas features of the day were in accord
ance with the programme which has re-
NAMED unchanged for centuries.
The people Of the city did not indulge in
outdoor demonstration, but in their homes
and at their boarding houses, in parlor and
the hearthstone they made the day
all that the most expectant youth
could wish. The number Of people at the
hotels was not large, as nearly all were IN
vited to the homes Of friends. However,
the Sheridan had most excellent Christ
mas dinner and those who partook of it
none OF its old-time merit. At the many
other hotels and boarding houses happy
groups of Bismarckers gathered to enjoy
the good things that come with the day
and the participants give proof of the in
viting character of the bills of fare by their
unstinted compliments for the culinary
artists of the city.
Several parties took advantage of the
cool weather to enjoy all the excitement
and invigorating recreation of a sleigh
ride-some going to Mandan, others to
Lincoln and many cOnfning themselves to
a whirl about the city.
THE soLoN1c EXCURSION.

was the departure of the legislative eXcur-

BOOMING SOUTH.

THE south is growing faster in
wealth and population now than ever
before in her history; railroads are
being built in every section. Coal
and iron mines are being opened
and enlarged in her rich and in
exhaustable vulnerable regions,
while cotton and WOODEN factories,
and manufactures of various kinds
are going up all over the south at a
remarkable rate. The thickly pop
ulated frozen out north and west
are beginning to turn their eyes
southwark for homes and those of
means for investments. The south
is certainly the garden spot of the
world, as we have no freeze ups and
such long ones as they have up
north. We can raise anything here
that is appeasing to the appetite of
man, and besides that we have
fields enough to grow cotton,
silk, and linen to clothe the world.
We can and will do it.

CONTRACT FOR COTTON BAGGING.

The Georgia Alliance has con-
tracted with mills for 100000
yards of cotton bagging to be de-
livered the first of August. The

A TRUE COMMENT.

The illusions of the Chicago In
ter Ocean to the south are, as rule,
extremely unfair, but outside of
politics it seems to have pretty
good idea OF the needs of this sec.
ton. There is practical .Swisdom in
the following comment OF the Inter
Ocean on the proceedings of the
recent convention of manufacturers
at Augusta:
'The southern cotton manufac-
turerS give good advice to their
neighbors and make good resolves
tor themselves as to the diversified
ton of industries in the south.
There can be no king worth taking
unless he have prosperous subjects,
and if cotton is to be king again, he
must reign by aid of mixed in
dustries. The cotton growers must
raise hogs and corn and wheat as
we'll as cotton, and the cotton man
ufacturers must make all the pro-
ducts into which the fiber can be
spun and woven. And if it be pos
sible, the bagging in which the cot
ton is packed, should be made from
the cotton rather than the jute
plant"
