Two or three years ago the REGIS
TER office gave Mr.. James Christy
some watermelon seed, and on Christ
mas Mr.. Christy repaid the courtesy
by bringing in watermelon. The
melon had been in the cellar since last
August, but it was firm and fresh and
as perfect i'm flavor as if it has been
but just taken from the vine. Mr.
Christy has surely demonstrated that
anybody who has a cool, dry cellar
may have watermelon for his Christ
mas dinner if he wants it
Last Friday while Billy Baldwin,
in the character of Santa Claus, was
uperintending the distribution of
Culbertson's toys, crowd of little
tots followed him with wide-eyed
wonder. One little girl after scruti-
niZing his face for some time said

try in pursuit of the jack rabbit. The

with good things until their grOans
drowned the annual grOanings of
the Christmas table. The boys were
filled also with a deep sense of graft
tude and between the two were too
full for utterance of their thanks
They desire therefore to publish to the
world their deepest regard and graft
tude to the aforesaid Mr.. Jackson and
his family.

anybOdy's order or proclamation, but
by common consent, the stores were
closed early in the day and there was
no business done until evening. The
streets were as deserted as on Sun
day, and it was apparent that the
people were celebrating the day quiet-
ly in their own homes, the best pos
sible way. In fact there were no
public celebrations of any kind ex-
cept those that took place i'm the
churches on Christmas eve. and those
were wholly successful, the pro-
grams as published in the REGISTER
being carried out before large audi
ences to the great delight of the child
rem of all ages. 1t was good glad
day.
