CHRISTMAS ENTERTAINMENT
At the Congregational church will take
place, Tuesday evening after Christmas.
This will be long time for the children
to wait, but maybe the entertainment
will be all the better when 1t comes. The
several committees have probably not
planned any very elaborate program,
yet to know these committees is enough
to vouchsafe that all things will be nice
ly arranged aud done decently and in Or
der. The program will consist of must
cal and literary parts and Christmas
tree. Santa Claus, who is as much alive
rs ever and loves the children us fondly,
will probably appear.
Last Sunday, a committee, consisting
of Mrs John d. Wheeler, w. Smith Pow
ell, Miss Susan Scudder and Mrs G. b..
Taylor, were appointed to select the pres
ents and decorate the tree. A very good
sum OF Christmas money was readily
subscribed by those who were present,
but the committee would thankfully re-
ceive any contributions other friends
may volunteer.
Subscribers will please take notice that
their BEE will be late, next week, as
there Is one holiday that the BEE invari-
ably observes and that Is Christmas, the
one holiday universal throughout the civ
ilized world. Christmas falls on Thurs

BEES busiest day; but the office will be
closed and all employees, from the editor
down, will surprise themselves with a va
cation. AS the mails will not be advan-
tageous, Thursday, the BEE will defer
publication until Friday, but correspond
ents will confer favor by sending in
their letters as early as usual. And to
all It's readers, wherever found, in what
ever walk of life, the BEE wishes very
Merry Christmas indeed.
