Christmas.

Next Tuesday is Christmas day. The Press
and Banner sends greeting to every reader
and trusts that in each home and around ev-
cry fireside there Is happiness and reason for
gratitude to the Giver Of every good and per
feet gin. Santa Claus ought TO take some
thing to every child. 1t is hoped that none
may be forgotten. Let the young be happy
and joyous while they may. 1t will be only
q little while until they will assume grave
and important duties, when the zest Of pleas
ure will be lessened. Let no one celebrate the
day by any unseemly conduct. Celebrate the
nativity OF the Prince OF peace as becomes
good and true men. Don't drink any liquor
on Christmas. 1t is q desecration OF the sa'
cred anniversary. Keep sober and happy.

MUSICAL DIscORD.
One Of the Prominent Newport
Churches All Torn Up
BY Row Over the Use Of the Church
Organ-How It Began-whst Has
Already Taken Place.

NEWPORT, July 20.-A member OF the

which Is likely to make an open rupture
In the congregation Of one OF Newport's
best and oldest churches.
Ii appears that the trouble originated in
q request made by Mr.. Ii. II. Brown, the
chorister, that he be allowed
to use the church organ dur
ing the week for practice. Mr.. John
Rogers, the organist, TO whom the
request was made, having no power In the
matter, referred IL to the standing COM
mittee, who decided that as expensive re-
pairs had been made TO the organ only
short time since IL would be best not to
comply with Mr.. Browns wishes and SO
informed him.
Mr.. Brown IL a young man very popular
In the church, and when his friends heard
OF the decision they stirred about, and
the result was that church meeting was
held Wednesday evening, and after a
warm discussion the standing committees
action was overruled and Mr.. Brown was
given power TO use the organ at his pleas
ure.
The result OF the meeting Immediately
stirred up the committee, who declare
that IL they are appointed with power to
do certain things, and then are not allowed
to exert that power, they will not serve.
One resignation, that of Mr.. Dudley New
ton, life long member of the church and
one Of its staunchest friends, has already
been received, and other members have
signified their intention OF doing the
same.
