Christmas joys.

Ere we greet our readers again
Christmas with its good cheer will be
here, and we hope bringing joy and
gladness to every heart. Old Santa
Claus, with his wrinkled face wreath
ed with broad smile, and his large
eyes beaming with love, will have
passed around with his great wallet,
scattering blessings everywhere, and
his song will be: "Glory to God in
the highest; peace on earth and
good will toward man" May not
one be overlooked, from the young
est to the oldest, from the humblest
to the greatest, for Jesus has heart
for all Make the best of it, dear
friends, for it is day to be glad to
make merry. Give thanks; give
gifts; express love; get happy and
feel good and a very bad man or
boy is he who can feel like fighting.
1t is the day which all the civilized
world celebrates, and both saint and
sinner acknowledges the Almighty
from whom all blessings flow. Let
the tariff crank subside for one week,
and let the silver boomer gush, for it
is bright things we want this week.
Hang up your stockings and get
ready for old Kriss tomorrow morn
ing, ana good luck to every one.
May you al live long and be happy.

"Mr, Enloe goes on the War

CRIMINAL COURT.
John Bartee Given Three Years in the
Penitentiary.
Wednesdays Daily.l

Wednesdays Daily.I
The trial of John Bartee on a
charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses was concluded in the
Criminal court last evening and re-
suited in the jury finding the defen-
dant guilty rs charged in the.indict-
ment and fixing his punishment at
three years in the penitentiary.
John Bartee is a member of good
family in the Twenty-first district of
this county and was at one time con-
stable of his district. The case made
out against him may be summed up
about as follows:
Over year ago the defendant is
alleged to have gone to an old gen
tleman named Dyer, telling him
that the grand jury had returned an
indictment against him for the lar
ceny of some old iron from mill in
the vicinity. Dyer was very much
frightened, and it is alleged that
Bartee proposed to get him out of the
scrape for $500. Dyer paid him the
money and afterward found that no
Indictment had ever been returned
against him. He had Bartee arrested
and he was tried at the last term Of
the Criminal court, but the jury fail
ed to agree, standing nine for
acquittal and three for conviction.
The counsel Tor the defense have
made motion for a new hearing.
In case this is over-ruled the suit
will go to the Supreme court.
HE WILL COME NEXT TINE.
There are people in this world who
will never learn to stop monkeying
with a buzz-saW, or to come when
Judge Tyler sends for them. There
was sample of this genus homo at
the courthouse last evening and the
probability is that he is still there.
lie was summoned as a witness sew
eral days ago, but would not come,
Judge Tyler ordered the sheriff to
fetch him. AS a result he was
brought before the court and fine
was imposed on him amounting to
$40 and the cost of getting him there.
He couldn't pay it and had to go to
jail. The last the reporter saw of
him he was trying to.pawn Jno.
Station a Texas oilcloth coat as Sc.
curity for the fine. 1t wouldn't

Messing the whole affair, said {:

leg below the knee joint and was
considerably bruised about the head.
A. r. Gholson, who rooms over the

the officers cries for help and reached
him soon after the accident happen
ed. Assistance came from several
different sources and the wounded
man was taken to his home. An ex-
animation revealed no broken bones,
but the cut and bruises are severe
and will keep the officer from duty
for at least ten days.
The team ran on down Franklin
street to First, turning north on this
street. The vehicle came ia contact
with an electric light pole at the in
tersecti0n Of First and Main and was
demolished. The horses were I'M

Fine Tobacco Samples.

owing to the uufavorable weather
for handling tobacco, there was only
about ninety samples shown ut the
Union Warehouse fair last Tuesday.
There would doubtless have been
between 200 and SOC samples on ex.
hibition had the weather been favor.
able. The samples shown, however,
were pronounced by the buyers gem
orally a very fair lot of samples.
Ben Gold, the veteran buyer, pro,
nounced them the best he ever saw.

WORKING FOR THOMPSON.
As Moderator of the Presbytery, he
would have to pass upon all questions in
dispute arising in the Briggs trial, and to
appoint committee to act on the revision
of the Confession. Because of his pro-
nounced bias on these subjects, the Union
Seminary men are wire-pulling to get him
into the chair. The anti Briggs men and
the anti-revisionists will combine against
him.
DR.. Thompson figured prominently in the
Swing trial in the Chicago Presbytery in
1874. He gave information to DR.. Patton
that was incorporated in the charges
against the famous Chicago preacher On
the witness stand be fattened out, greatly
to the disappointment of DIR. Patton, who
was conducting the prosecution. And
when, in voting with the great majority for
the acquittal of DR.. Swing, he gave a
lengthy opinion of the case, he uttered SEN
tences worthy place in an encyclopedia of
rhetoric as examples of ambiguity.
The war between Princeton and the
Liberals goes merrily on. The church
papers are full of argument and allegory
pointed against the Institution. DIR. Ed
ward d. Morris has long article to appear
in this weeks EUdngeliSt, roasting Princeton
numerically for opposing the proposed
revision of the Confession of Faith.
