school free of charge. The physicians OF
the city, or most Of them, have agreed to
vaccna.e the pupils at 25 cents each.
This amount will have to be paid by the
pupils themselves, or their parents. The
pupils of the school are requested to meet
at the Graded School building on next
Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, and it
would be we'll for their parents to see
their several family physicians prior to
that time with reference to the vaccina-
ton. It is probable that all children who
have not been vaccinated before Monday,
Jan. 3rd, will then be excluded from the
school until the danger Of smallpox con-
tagion is passed. There is no smallpox
in Anderson, but owing to it's prevalence
in Atlanta it is deemed best to use every
precaution against it.
Once upon midnight dreary, as I pom
dered weak and weary over all the Christ
mas presents that boyish fancy draws,
while with sleep | tried 10 tussle, tried
with all my might and muscle, suddenly
heard rustic, like the noise OF Santa
Claus. Though with fright / fairly shud
dered, for fright / had no cause-it was
only Santa Claus. Then listened more
intently to the sound that crept up gently
to my cham Der, where my wonder almost
caused my heart to pause. and heard the
candy spilling, as the stocking he was
filling, and I wished I'd left shilling
there for dear old Santa Claus. And the
noise heard 30 plainly in the room ad-
joining pas was only Santa Claus. Anx-
lous now to get peep, down the stairway
did I creep, ell impatient for glance,
although against the Lars, and it filled my
heart with dread. as with sudden fear be
fled and jumped into mammals bed
naughty, naughty Santa claus! And the
stories that we hear each year are as thin
as summer gauzs. Fraud stupendous-
Santa Claus !-EGchange.
