IN THE MILL OF JUSTICE,

Both justices Very Busy Yesterday Wife Beating
and Minor Offences.
Robert Helms was yesterday brought
before Squire Harrison in answer to q
warrant sworn ont BY his spouse on q
charge Of wife beating. The evidence
showed that the assault, If such it
might be called, was provoked by his
wife. who took almost as active q part
in the fray as Robert himself. The
Squire fined Helms five dollars and
costs, in default Of which he was re-
manded TO jail.
Henry Snyder and Elmer Wild, two
small boys, were arraigned before
Justice Trammell for committing a
minor depreciation on the property Of
the B. s. @. r. r. CO. On account Of
their extreme youth the kind hearted
Squire admonished the boys and let
them off.
Smith Vanmetre and Eugene Nor
gan, the latter colored, were also ar
raigned in Justice Trammells court for
entering b. & O. caboose and steal
ing some small articles. These boys
are old enough to know right from
wrong. and have been arrested on sew
eral occasions heretofore. Both were
held for the Circuit Court. In default
Of bail, Morgan was locked up.

Flowers as Christmas Gifts.

In planning for Christmas giving, says
a writer in an exchange, we often find
upon our lists of acquaintances those
whom we would remember with some
slight token, and we gladly turn to the
flowers as a happy solution. Not only
to these distant acquaintance and rela
tives, but to the dear ones to whom we
would offer our best gifts, will flowers
often prove acceptable at Christmas
time. AS far as possible use origina!
ideas in selecting preparing and present
ing these floral gifts, and aim to have
them appropriate. To the friend who
has well-filled conservatory the gift of
a few plants will be but little apprecia-
ted, unless some new suggestion is Of
fered with them. To those who have
only shady windows the plants which
requile plenty of sunshine for successful
development will prove a care instead of
a pleasure. To the friend who has ''n0
luck with flowers" which in reality
means no real love for them. nor pa
thence to study their habits, it would be
foolish to offer the capricious orchid, or
any of the frail boomers that need spec
ial petting. Give, instead, some we'll
grown sturdy bloomer, which will de-
mand little attention and be sure to sue
coed in spite of difficulties.

Packing Cut Flowers

1t is often desirable to send roses and
other cut flowers through the mail at
Christmas time, writes Phebe Westcott
Humphreys in timely article on ''FlOw-
erS as Christmas Gifts in the December
Ladies' Home Journal. A few hints in
regard to careful packing are all that is
necessary to underSt3n nd. in order that
they may be sent for long distances and
be received almost as fresh as when first
cut. Light wooden boxes from three to
five inches deep, such as are received
from the florist with mailing sized plants,
are much better for packing the cut flow
ers than pasteboard boxes With the
least rough handling, espec tally if they
are in a damp condition, the latter NAV
become crushed and the flowers spoiled.
Having selected suitable box, place
a lavcr of sheet wading in the bottom
seeing that the corners are nicely fitted,
and over this place waxed paper. Allow
the flowers to stand in water some time
before packing, and when the stems have
taken up all the water that is possible
lay them in smooth. even rows on the
waved paper. Let the stems of the
upper row meet the blossoms of the lower
and continue packing close until the box
is full. Then lay another piece of waXed
paper over the top with layer of sheet
wadding next to the lid. 1t is of the
greatest importance to have the box
packed full If the flowers do not quite
fill it up see that the spaces are fill ed with
wadding. II roses are to be sent do not
select the full blown ones but firm, half
opened buds. 1t will not be necessary to
sprinkle them with water if the stems
have absorbed a quantity of moisture:
being covered closely from the air they
will not wilt as they would if exposed

Holly for Christmas Decorations.
+To my husband.

The beautiful American holly grows
pentifully in the hammocks and along
the creek and river bottoms of many
sections of Florida, and covered with its
cleaning red berries and deep green
leaves. it is not one whit less beautiful
than it's famous English cousin. OF the
use of holly for Christmas decorations.
Mrs. G. r. brennan, of Mississippi,
writes in the December number of Sue
cess With Flowers as follows:
"By roaring tire-places on wintry
mornings, Merry Christmas" has re-
sounded over and over, in one long, un-
broken gush of gladness, all the world
over, and will resound forever and for
ever, old. yet, ever new. 10 decorate
the home with evergreens is time-hon-
ored custom, and albeit the sacred date
is but traditional, churches have fol-
lowed the custom, and Christmas Day
and decorations of evergreens are syn
onymous.
Fir and spruce are employed in the
far North, and are rich in folklore and
memories of Christmas, but for the
English and American people holly is
preeminently the Christmas evergreen.
1t is of comparative Southern growth,
but bears shipment well, and is SO dear,
to the memory, that distance and exile
form no barrier to it's free use at Christ
mas-tide. The home holly is sent across
seas to English residents in all parts OF
the world. and even the sailors at sea
esteem it great happiness to secure the
green branches of holly that remind
them of home on Christmas morning
From our Southern forests large quaint
ties are sent to the Northern cities in
branches of convenient lengths.
Happy they who live near the holly
grove! Infringing home the holly from
the heart OF the wild woods is filled with
the condensed joy of anticipated good
cheer for the morrow, when a bright

would not iniure him. One of his en-
emies, knowing the Mistetoe had not

That would weave in simple rhyme.
And ever keep, within my heart,
Those days, those nights. all else apart?
That you'd all other Joys forego
To stand beneath the Mistletoe?

Our eyes were idly prone to rest
Did yOu-diu lone moment know

We watched the Brazos' waters play
While softly resting in our hearts
Lay uspected-Cupid's darts:
The arrows never hurt us, so
They must have been of MistletOe.

Outvies our humble cottage wall
Where evergreen and trailing vine
And scarlet Holly berries shine
While from the ceiling, rude and low
Hangs the white-berried MistletOe.

cred with snow, shake it off and bring
the bright berry-laden boughs to home
and church where willing hands will
break the light twigs and enwreath the
chandeliers, stair ratings, picture frames
and every niche of parlOr, hall and din

ont, stained-glass windows, and altar of
the church, Transforming the formal as
pect of stately apartments to summerlike
freshness and beauty.
Holly is the most graceful of all ever
green's for decorations, as it's bristling
leaves never lie closely packed, but carry,
in their natural style of growth, the
most artistic disposition of light and
shade; as background, It's bold, hardy
evergreen qualities fit it for the soft,
sweet exotic flowers of the Conservatives,
used for Christmas decorations, like a
frame for a picture.
Camellias, roses, palms. lilies, vlolets
and the kindred train of fair, frail. per-
fumed flowers, 'charm they never so

rich with the mystic lore of Pagan ma
tons in the snow-covered Northlands, of
their superstitions, credulities, hopes
and fears but over and above all these
varied kinds, bright as May in it's shin
ing green leaves and brilliant scarlet ber-
ries, the holly stands among Christian
nations as the foremost evergreen, the
symbol of Christmas joys, the epitome
of memories of childhood, home and
happiness. Let its old, old history, and
long association with English home life,
far back in the ages; the memory of the
Puritan forefathers forbidding the use of
holly and mistletoe on the day held sa-
cred by the tradition; how it's brightness
and beauty and stirring association
proved too strong for Puritan law, and
hope and love and youth, piety and af
lection all joined hands under the green
boughs and gave to each other merry
Christmas!' with gladness forever new
let the echo roll on till the rude hilar
ity but whole-hearted happiness of the
dusky jewellers upon the broad planta
tions of Sunny South joins the glad
pecan, and tells the history of the holly
as the most beautiful, the most appro
pirate and best loved of all evergreens for
the Christmas tide.
