ing of raisin-growers was held at Rose
dale Saturday evening to take steps to
prevent the reduction of the duty on

My name is little Byrdie and brother Rob

And baby sister Alice, with eyes blue as the

Now, as I've told you all our names, dear
Santa Claus, don't forget
We three were born in Newcastle, and we live

Rob and 1 bring in the wood and tend the

And when mamma has errands we see that
they are done.
We're only little children, but what we can
we do;
We think we need some presents-now. Santa,
do not you?
You might to baby Alice send a doll or rubber
ring,
A mug for milk, or-she'd like most any
thing.
To Rob a book, a hoDby-horse, with truly

day can be told in a few words. Ii WAS a
sweeping republican victory, giving 70 the
party the governor. state officers and The

Wilson. The day was quiet throughout The
state and the total vote was small The
first returns showed how the contest had

early, but before going conceded the election
of jackson by 5000 or more. He would not
