Closing Exercises of Cross Roads
School.

School.
EDITORS INTELLIaENcER: The closing
exercises, which took place last Friday
night, was an event in the history Of this
school. The beautiful grove which sur
rounds the school house was lighted with
Chinese lanterns, which cast soft and
mellow light on the audience, while the
stage was more brilliantly lighted and
showed our girls off to the best advantage
and just here let me say that it would
be hard to fnd prettier lot than was on
the stage. The boys-oh, we'll, We will
say nothing about them. Miss Rose G.
Greer, the faithful aud efficient teacher,
with her pupils and patrons had left moth
ing undone that would help to make 1t g
success. But when the spectators began
to pour in long before sund0wn, it was
very evident that there was going to be q
much larger crowd than was expected,
and though there were seats prepared FOL
something like four hundred, there was
yet two OF three hundred in buggies, car.
riuges or standing, who arrived too late to
obtain seats Three of the pupils, acting
as ushers, distributed the programmes
which were marvels of neatness and taste
and hope, Messrs. Editors, you will moi
feel fattered if tell you they were printed
in your job Office. The stage decorations 8
to say the least, were exquisite. lhe ex
ercises began by an opening song,. fol-
lowed by prayer by Rev. W. 3. Hawkins
and was closed by short but very inter
esting lecture by the School Commission
er, Mr.. D. q. Russell, in which he con
graduated the teacher and pupils on th'
success of their undertaking. The pupil.
did credit to themselves and teacher
Unfortunately the wind was from tht
West, and though the children spoke yer!
loud and distinct, their voices were hardl!
audible at the back side of the large audi
ence. The order was good throughout th'
evening, and both teacher, pupils and pa
irons lett feeling that their efforts wer
appreciated by all present. G. L. s.

Perhaps few dots from this section,
Mr.. Editor, would be of interest to the
many readers of the INTELL1GENcER.
First, must say something in regard
to our school, the Long Branch Academy,
which is under the control OF Miss Lizzie
Brock, of Honea Path, s. G. She is an
educated lady and thoroughly under
stands her calling. When she goes into
a school room she means business. She
has an average of thirty-tive scholars, and
she has been teaching for four months.
Miss Lizzie will give vacation the 18th
inst. for six weeks. She intends spend
ing 8 portion of her vacation at the
Worlds Fair. We wish for her pleas

The health OF this section is exceedingly
good at present writing.

BeltOu Items.

The exercises of Children's Day came
off at the Methodist Church last Sunday.
A very pretty program had been arran-
ged, and it was beautifully carried out.
Much of the success of the occasion is to
be attributed to the patient training given
the children by Miss Kate Sutherland.
It was an enjoyable occasion and grand
success.
It is whispered that there is to be a
marriage in our quiet little town in the
near future.
Two new pupils were enrolled in the
Belton High School last Monday. Two

Beltons greatest need is a commodious
and comfortable school building. Who
will be the first to take action towards
obtaining one? A good school is one of
the essential elements of every desirable
town or community. The enterprising
! citizen cannot afford to be lukewarm on
the subject Of a school, as long as his
community is without one. Nor can a
school be successfully taught without
comfortable seats and a pleasant school
room. If the people of Bolton will not
have good school, they will be obliged
to pay the board and tuition, OF their
children at some other school or college,
and the amount paid for two or three
years expenses at a boarding-school will
put up real handsome and comfortable
building. It is great deal cheaper
more economicaEto have first-class
school in which children may be prepar-
ed for the higher classes in College than
it is to have poor school. It is to be
hoped that at the next meeting of the
Board of Trustees of the Bolton School
some definite action will be taken to-
wards securing good school-house for
Bolton. don't believe there is citizen
in Belton or in the vicinity thereof who
is proud Of the Bolton High School
building. We have good dwellings, good
church edifices, and good store-rooms.
Now let us have good school building.

TRADE IN cHaIsTMAs TREES.

We now require million or two OF
young evergreens for Christmas trees,
and these, too, are cut and stored away
in good time, the choppers often going
into the woods soon after the LIST of No
vember. A fall of snow in November OF
December greatly increases the difficulty,
because the snow is apt to melt and
freeze, rendering the branches too brit
tie for transportation. The woodmen
therefore like to get their work forward
and pile their trees in the woods along
side the road, where they will keep fresh
and green for six weeks.
The largest market for Christmas trees
is Philadelphia, whence they are dis
tributed to all parts of the country with
in 1000 miles. The woodmen get from
$6 to % hundred for their trees, which
sell in the cities at prices ranging from
so cents to SO.
AS for Christmas presents, they give
employment to many important trades,
the work upon which is continuous from
the first of January to the last of De-
cember. Some knowing grandmothers
and ingenious aunts, to say nothing of
uncles and grandfathers, are on the look
out all the year for Christmas surprises,
which they hide away in unfathomable
recesses, sometimes forgotten by them
selves.

SUITABLE GIFTS.

Don't be too particular about giving
useful Christmas presents, notwithstand
ing that hosts of practical individuals,
especially those of a philanthropic turn
of mind, are forever advising just to
the contrary. OF course where extreme
poverty is in question, when the very
necessities of life are lacking, ton Of
coal or a basket of provisions is doubt
less more suitable gift than would be
a silken table cover or an embroidered
scarf; but, barring such extreme cases,
the greatest degree of benefit and happi-
ness experienced by the exchange of
gifts at the season of good will to men"
does not, as a rule, result from those of
a strictly useful nature. After all, men
and women are only boys and girls
grown tall; and, pray, what healthy boy
or girl would prefer pair of boots to a
toy pistol or a pair of skates, doll or a
box of candy, as his or her annual con-
tribution from Santa Claus?
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1893-12-23

The gifts are not suspended rrom Tie
tree, but are placed in parcels about it
and under the table. The presents are
distributed amid great hilarity by an ell
der son or brother, who makes up as a
jovial st. Nicholas. The children, like
children everywhere, enjoy their toys,
which are less expensive and more prac-
teal than ours. and their elders rejoice
in additions to their personal wardrobes
and household belongings.
The supper is a comparatively plain
one. The table is set forth with backerei,
meat or sausage, herring salad, French
cake or German tart and Light beer or
wine. After healths have been drunk
and songs and choruses sung, the final
ceremony is to bid every one ''Froehliche
Weihnacht," and the party disperses.
The Christmas dinner is on more elab-
crate scale. The piece de resistance con-
sists of roast goose, the national dish. It
is stuffed with apples or chestnuts and
preceded by soup and accompanied by
kartoffel (potatoes), blumenkohl (cauli-
flower or rosenkraut brussels sprouts)
and sauerkraut, the latter cooked and sea-
soned, and a compete of plums or other
fruit cooked with vinegar, sugar and
spices. The dessert upon so important a
day may consist of two dishes beside fruit,
a pudding and APPEL krapfen. This will
perhaps be of rice stewed until tender in
milk, and then blended willie hot with
fine chopped and sifted beef suet, raisins
and eggs, whites and yolks both well
beaten. This is a sort of German plum
pudding, for it is boiled in cloth or
mold and served with hot and sweet
wine sauce.
These feasts are renewed every day
until the inception of the Now Year, and
then whoever you meet, wherever you
are, the greeting is passed, 'Prosit Neu-
jahr" Happy New Year,, and the Christ
mas season comes to an end.

origin. 4 carol should be simple and
