THE CHRISTMAS TREE,

All the little people Of Abbeville
were treated by the Misses Rainor
to a Christmas tree this year. It
appeared to the young ladies that
Abbeville would be as dull during
the holidays as it is generally, and
not believing that the little ones
who are unable to do for themselves,
should suffer from the social sleep,
in which our town has been wrapped
for many months, they Get them
selves to work, and in a short time
did a beautiful thing for not only
their scholars, but for all the little
ones Of Abbeville. The Masonic
hall was selected as the place for
the erection Of the tree, and with
some kindly assistance everything
was arranged nicely. The tree was
a beautiful one and was tastely illu-
minated. Many beautiful and costly
presents bowed its branches, the
traits of affection and love.

Time is slipping noiselessly away
and almost before we know it the
New Year will be upon us. 1t never
seems quite right to us that Christ
mas should come around until the
earth has been shrouded with snow
aud the bleak winds have whistled
around our homes. 1t is at times
difficult to realize that we are out of
the range of winters cold blasts, bnt
we are no less thankful that such is
the fact. In the north everything is
bleak and wintry while here We are
enjoying q parental spring that
should cause the heart to blossom
with kindly membranes for all
mankind. If Tor only once in the
year, the impulses should take shape
10 outward expressions of affection
at the season Of holiday reunions,
when absent ones return and hearts
are made tender by renewals of
love.
