There will be little cutting of the State
ticket, and it is claimed by conservative
Republicans that they will defeat l..
Irving Handy and the whole Democratic
STATE ticket with majority ranging
from 800 to 500.
The fight between Simon S. Pennewill
and Joseph E. Holland, Senatorial can
didates in the First District, will be a
hot one and will result in victory for
Mr.. Pennewil by small majority,
The Republicans also claim that Sena-
torial candidate in the Fourth District, J.
J. Brazure, will be elected in spite of the
fact that the Regulars and Unionists
have failed to agree on the same candi-
date for State Senator. 1t is expected
that many Regular Republicans will
support Mr. Brazure and cut their own
candidate, Dinnard W. Campbell, for the
district is a stronghold of Republican
ism.
Robert Short, candidate for Sheriff,
has also fight on his hands, but will he
elected over Thomas R. Wilson by fair
majority. The balance of the county
ticket will be elected without doubt.
There will be 6 Republican Repre-
sentatives elected, namely: Two from the
First Senatorial District, two from the

from the Fifth District.

AFTER CHRISTMAS.
From Good Housekeeping.

Twas "a week after Christmas, and Santa
Claus said :
''TOnighi, when The children are safely in bed,
I'll harness my reindeer and silently steal out
To take one more look at the gifts Strewn
about;
The presents | carrieH tins year were the best,
And Christmas trees never were more gently
dressed.
tie boys;
I'm fond of those youngsters, and gave lots of
toys;
Those drums that left there were handsome
and strong,
Much pleasure they'll furnish through #iI the
year long.
The boys, when they wrote, asked Tor things
that made noise
Their parents don't like it-but boys will he
boys"
Before can tell it, for deer can run fast,
Good Santa stood in the Browns nursery al
1t makes one feel sorry 10 say what sight
His old eyes beheld as he gazed there that
night;
The playthlngs were therethat belonged TO
the tribe,
But as for condition, whose pen can describe !.
A horse with its tail of, "a dog without head
A wagon wheel tied to the wagon with thread;
A trumpet of tin that would never more shout;
A beautiful spinning top--with the peg out;
The drums-it was awful each one of the SIX
Was riddled in holes by dozen drum sticks.
There's no use denying that Santa felt bad,
He stood there and looked disappointed and
sad;
These children naughty and careless,
he said,
Next year shall not''-here he nodded
his head.
Twas plain that some punishment great was
in store
Could Santa Claus mean he would go there
no more?
Next door Santa went, where were three tiny
girls,
All sweet little maidens with soft golden curls.
He said ''fhey're not boys with such care
less ways,
For girls can be happy in quieter plays;
Their tea sets and dolls won't be scattered all
round,
They've taken good care of them-that I'll be
bound
The shock he received was more cruel, for
there
A doll with both arms off lay under Il chair;
Another one, eyeless, and hair all pulled out,
RepOsed in a bed with a sheet tucked about;
The tea chests-at sight of them Santa Claus
said:
Il feel very sick-I'll go home to bed
1t makes one feel anxious to think of next
year,
There are some more cases just like these, l
fear;
A note must be sent 10 explain children's
plays
Nest likely old Santa forgets childish days.
And tell him that toys wrecked and broken
but rise
To take on new value in little folks eyes.
The girl without eyes was hospital case,
Twas such fun to doctor and bind up its face;
The one without arms was from Barnum's
great show,
Two pins let you see it-'twas born so, you
know:
The tea set was ruined-that thing I'll admit,
But dolls do not mind broken dishes one bit.
Those drums-'twas Il pity-it can't be de-
The boys longed to see all the noises inside;
They suffered to find they were hollow, no
doubt,
We all pay big prices that thing to find out;
So, Santa, don't plan any vengeance next
year,
For toys, worn and broken, are none the less
dear.

A NEW YEARS MESSAGE

Within your somber gaze,
Deep, dark, and still as mountain streal
In hidden mountain ways,
Sweet eyes that hold world of dreams
Look up to where the winter stars
Their New Years vigil hold,
And read this message that send
Of love so long untold.
A year-just one short year ago
| saw you stand alone
Within the wav ring dusk and glow
By winter freight thrown;
And all my heart went out to you,
And all my life has known
Ofjoy or pain, or bliss or woe,
Since then has been your own.
A year ago-ah, sweet that year
How much it tells to me !
But now my heart throbs fast with fear,
Lest hopes unanswered be;
And ere the cid year dies away,
think of ali it brought,
And how with you it seemed to stay
And fill my every thought.
! may not see your eyes tonight,
Nor hear your tender voice,
Nor watch the shadows pass TO light,
If love be but your choice;
For love, indeed, is all 1 bring
A heart that beats for you,
And will so beat while life shall last,
And love ia life be true.
So, ere the years last hour is gone,
| send my message sweet,
And lay this love and longing down
Before your gentle feet;
And when the stars are in the sky,
And glad bells chime anew,
o, take my message with their own,
And take-its sender too |!

THE DEATH OF THE OLD YEAR
BY TENNYSON.

BY TENNYSON.
Full knee-deep lies the winter snow,
And the winter winds are YEARLY signing;
Toll We the church bell sad and Slow
And tread softly and speak low,
For the old year lies a-dying.
Old year, you must not die;
You came to us so readily,
You lived with us so steadily,
Old year, you shall not die.
He heth still; he doth not move;
He will not see the dawn of day.
He hath no other life above.
He gave me friend, and a true truelove-
And the new year will take EN- away.
Old year, you must not go;
SO long as you have been with us,
Such JOY as you have seen with us,
Old year, you shall not go.
He froth' d his bumpers to the brim:
A jollier year we shall no, see.
But tho his eyes are waxing dim,
And tho his foes speak i'll of him.
He was friend to me.
Old year, you shall not die;
We did so laugh and cry with you,
I've half mind to die with you,
Old year, if you must die.
He was full of joke and jest,
But all his merry quips are DER.
To see him die across the waste
His son and heir doth ride poSthaste,
But he'll be dead before.
Every one for his own.
The night is starry and cold, my friend,
And the new year blthe and bold my
friend,
Comes up to take his own.
How hard he breathes Over the snow
heard just now the growing cock.
The shadows flicker to and fro;
The cricket chirps; the light burns low:
'Tis nearly twelve clock.
Shake hands, before you die,,
Old year, we'll dearly rue for you;
What is it We can do for you?
Speak out before yeH die.
His face is growing sharp and thin.
Alacll our friend is gone;
Close up his eyes; tie up his chin;
Step from the corpse, and let him in
That staRdeth there alone,
And waiteth at the door,
There's a new foot on the floor, my
friend,
And new face at the door, my friend
\ new face at the door. s
