Christmas is coming, hurrah
Christmas is coming, hurrah
Shop windows are bright
To the children's delight.
For Christmas is coming, hurrah-
But the orphan and poor in the cold
In misery plenty behold,
Like the mother of God,
Who the stable floor trod,
While Bethlehem glittered with gold.
Christmas is coming, hurrah,
Christmas is coming, hurrah
Then out of your store,
Feed the poor at the door,
Then angels for you will hurrah.

A SLICK FDKGEREK.

On or about March 9th there appeared in
Scranton "A young man and his wife, who took a
room at the Scranton Hotel aud gave their
names as j. A. Walton and wife, of Nashville,
Tenn. The next dav they changed their
quarters to the DelmaS House, a private
was generally understood that Mr.. Walton was
in poor health, aud that he came to this place
in hopes of receiving some benefit from the
climate. lie and his wife were not slow in
making friends among the best people of the
place, and were generally received and invited
to all the social gatherings that took place.
Walton was a quiet, unassumlng appearing
Young man Of about "a or % wears and made
himself popular, especially among the men of
Scranton, as he was a great fisherman, also
fond of hunting and was thought to be a good
fellow all around. Mrs. Walton was a fine
looking blonde, very sweet and childish in APP
pearance and made many friends.
Walton took an active interest in the fish
and oyster shipping business conducted by
Mr.. G.. II, Delmas, aud this resulted in their
entering into a partnership on Friday last,
when the proper documents we're drawn up
giving Walton a half interest in Mr.. Delmas'
business. also in lns farm located about a mile
and a half from town.
On Saturday last Walton deposited in the
Scranton State Bank a certified check on the
Fourth National Bank of Nashville, Tenn,
drawn by Liberty Mills in favor Of said Wal
posted by him for credit for account Of Del
mas, Walton Co. Some hours after max
ing tins deposit he allied at the bank and had
a check signed bv the new firm for $500 rashed.
The same night Mr.. and Mrs. Walton took the
II O'Clock train, saving they were going to
Nashville. On investigation it was learned
that thev bought tickets only to Mobile, that
they took their baggage with them aud paid
their board bril- with another check for SIS,
both checks being worthless.
By letters that were left in his room, il was
found that he had ordered an alphabetical case
of rubber type from MeSsrs. F, +. |llanScIl 4
Bro, New Orleans, which he used in certit, my
the check and signing the name Of Liberty
Mills, thus showing him to be an adept in that
line Of business.
Mr.. Delmas, who seems 10 be the victim, is
one of our most prominent citizens and there
is much sympathy expressed for him, as no
doubt the loss will be keenly felt.
II is to he honei that Walton will be found
