Holidays have been spent in various
ways in these parts. Some of our boys
got too much of the DEVILS broth to
suit their physical and financial career.
Experience is a hard teacher; but it is
hard to learn q financial fool anything
at anyother. If the people continue to
marry during the next few weeks as
they have in the past few days it
will certainly butcher the license trade
for years to come. The.Bachelors' De-

E. Kyker and family, Of Washington
College, are visiting relatives on Chero-

great pain with a severe case of the

who has been in school at Athens,
came home for Christmas. Rev. J. j.
Scott is very ill at present. Rev. Har-
old commenced a revival at Cherokee
last Saturday; much good is expected
ere the meeting closes. On the 23rd of
December, Joseph Dulaney thought
to himself that living singly was not
all of life, 80 he, in company with two
friends, started for Carter County and
on Christmas day he took unto himself
one of the fairer sex of that county.

We regret to hear of the death of Zeb
Price, which took place at the home of
his parents in Hartman, Tenn, on
Christmas day. He had lately returned
home from Helena, Ark, where he had
been teaching. He was a young man
of splendid abilities, and son of Rev.
Richard Price. The bereaved family
have the sympathy of the Herald and
Tribune.
Have you seen our Red Letter Coun-
ter, where we sell goods for less than

for less than cost, everybody knows
that, and everybody knows that it
would be impossible to sell goods that
way and remain in business long, but
there are times when odd lot aud small
quantities are sold at less than their
original cost, and this is one of the
times, so com and get a bargain. R.

The Business Manager of the Herald
and Tribune, accompanied by his wife,
spent Christmas day at the pleasant
home of Esq. James Hale, near Haw's
X Roads. The weather was very un-
pleasant, but the pleasure of being en-.
tertained by the genial family of Mr..
Hale largely Offset the disagreeable eff.
fects of the weather. In the afternoon
a short time was spent at Haw's X
Roads, calling IN James Haws, whom
we found at the residence Of his son.
Mr.. Hawsi is one among our oldest citi.
gems, being, we believe, in his eighty
seventh year. During the short con
~versation we had with him b eremarked

WASHINGTON COLLEGE,.

School opened with us again Monday
morning after a vacation of ten days.
The holiday season passed very cheer
lily, happily, and all too quickly, it
seemed, with us. Our Literary Socie.
ty Entertainment on the 21st proved to
be a very successful one, all the lite
rary productions and musical selec-
tions on the program being interesting
and we'll rendered. A number of sump-
tuous dinings were given the commu-
nifty during the holidays, to which our
college people were invited. Nearly
all the boarding pupils of our school
went home to spend last week. We
were glad to have Justus Whitlock and
Bert Simpson, of Jonesboro, attend our
entertainment on the Goth. Miss Lou
Use Wardlaw gave quite a pleasant and
attractive social in the ladies' boarding
hall on Monday evening of last week;
the students and a few young ladies
and gentlemen were. invited, popular
games were played, candy made, de.
lightful music rendered, and a Joyous
evening spent by all. We are glad to
have Rev. w. w. Baxter back in the
neighborhood again after an absence
of a few weeksin business in Kentucky.
Misses Halle and Fannie Lynn Dog
gett, of Jonesboro, were welcome visit
ors among us for a day or two lately,
and attended our entertainment on
Thursday evening. A number of our
young people attended Hon. R. L. Tay-
lor's lecture in Jonesboro last Thurs
day evening. An amusing and enjoy
able mask social was held in the college
chapel on Wednesday evening of last
week. Rev. D. N. Good and j. T.
Browning, of Johnson City, were well
come visitors at and around the college
on Thursday and Friday week before
last. Rev. F. F. Dobson returned home
from New York for his sister Mays
wedding and to spend the holidays; he
delivered two excellent sermon for us
on Sunday, the Esd, and he certainly
deserves special notice on account of
his ability, earnestness and devotion in
proclaiming the gospel at such an early
age in life, and before completing his
theological course of study. We de-
sire to wish the Herald and Tribune
and all its readers a most happy, pros.
porous and blessed New Year. B.

A Brilliant Reception.

One of the most elegant and elaborate
receptions that the young people of
Jonesboro have enjoyed recently was
that given by Miss Jessie Patton of her
two charming friends, Misses Penning-
ton and Richmond from Sullins Col
lege The party consisted of ten couples
of young people, and a nor pleasant
evening was never spent by any young
assemblage. About half past s o'clock
Miss Patton in her charming manner
coupled off the young people and in.
vited them to the dining room which
was indeed very attractive, made 80 by
a long table which seemed to groan
under its weight of everything good
and pleasing to the taste. The supper
was indeed a most elegant one, served
in eight courses which consumed about
two hours. After the supper was over
all repaired to the parlor and engaged
in social chats and enjoyed some in
strumental music, most artfully rem
dered by Miss Patton. Those who's
good fortune it was to be present were:

THE BLIZZARD.
COOLEST IN FIFTY YEARS.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Dec. 29.-This
day will be a long remembered one, for
the blizzard sent the thermometer be-
low the freezing point. In Jackson
vile today the thermometer registered
thirteen above. Ice formed and the
city fire alarm system was completely
frozen up. The local weather bureau
reported the coolest day since 1885.
Snow was reported west of Jackson
vile. The triangular fruit region be-
tween Jacksonville, Tampa and Titus
vile suffered severely from the storm
and almost a total loss of the orange
and pineapple crops is reported. The
loss in young trees and plants is very
heavy. 1t is estimated that there
were 1850, 900 boxes of oranges on the
trees, constituting half of the annual
crop, and these are probably a total
loss.
Memphis, Dec. 80.-From six to eight
inches of snow is reported tonight from
Middle and West Tennessee, East Ar
kansas, North Mississippi and West AL
ALBANIA, with a steady drop in tempera-
ture.
Birmingham, Dec. 3O.-The worst
snow storm ever known in Alabama is
prevailing. Four inches of snow fell
today and tonight the fall vas renewed
f%uriously. The weather is very severe
and much suffering among the poor is
reported. Many cattle are starving in
barren sections and two negroes were
frozen to death at Alfalfa last night.
In Birmingham snow has almost
blocked traffic and the street car COM.
panies find it necessary to run their
cars all night to keep the track clear.
The snow storm extends all over the
northern section of the State. 1t is
feared that much damage will be done
in the mines by the bursting Of water
pipes and flooding the mines.
Gadsden, Dec. SO.-The coolest bliz-
zard ever known in this section struck
Gadsden today. All trains running
into the city have been stopped on ac-
count Of the snow, which is six inches
deep tonight. The city is without pro-
lection, as the water mains here have
bursted and the water supply is cut off.
The electric light and the telephone
and some of the telegraph wires are
down. Great loss of cattle is reported
from all sections.
WAY DOWN SOUTH.
New Orleans, Dec. 30.-Six inches
of snow fell today at Columbus; four
inches at Starkville, Water Valley,
Holly Springs and Grenada, Miss, and
ten to twelve inches at Arkansas City,
Arkansas.
