An Old Maids Convention.

Just think oft the dear things

knowledge their condition and hold
a convention 10 Morrisville. No
doubt there's been scores of semi-con-
ventions of the dear old Jumps of gall

outdone by their sisters in misery
in Hyde Park, they propose to hold
q real public convention in town hall,
Morrisville, on Friday evening of
next week, Jan. 6.

tiers, not merely the pilgrims and
puritans, all of those we're Christ's
men.
Here the speaker touched upon the
very recent utterances of President
Mckinley as regards a unified coun-
try, and turning to the early days of
the Colonies he expressed the endea-
vor back of and exemplfed by the
several sections or quite distinct peo-
pie settling in the colonies from Vir-
ginia northward to, and including
New England, paying special atten-
ton to the latter.
Our history has not begun in glory
such as this to end in shame, not if
we continue to faithfully walk close
ly with the God of our fathers. 1t is
we'll for US to remember what we owe
to those men, and thank God that
they we're what they were. We have
what they fought for, but never fully
possessed whatever their faults, they
we're men indeed. Have we entered
into the enjoyment of their accom-
plishments without entering into the
spirit?
Turning to the present and the new
responsibilities of our country, it was
noted that God has thrust into our
hands a new work; we cannot sit
down and look to and within our
selves as q people and a Nation
longer The world is broadening to
us, we have new work to do; there
is no safety for US in this new duty
unless we be permeated by the spirit
of Christ The conscience Of human
itys has called the United States to
the duties of trustee and friend; OR
duty is put squarely upon US; we
must follow where God leads.
Spain has foolishly attempted to
live in the past; we cannot so do, we
are to reach forward to new and
better things. Shall we mould,
Shape, lead this new life Godward?
Let us go in and possess these lands
in the name of God and humanity;
not for self agrandizement, but for
humanity, Christ suffered and died
for the worlds redemption. We as
a nation have become grand and
strong in Gods help. We shall not
fold our hands and shut out our
duty in bearing the cross of Christ to
these new lands; there's no crown
without a cross.
This Christmas morn this cross
brings life as it did those many years
ago. Heavens gate invites, Heavens
gate stands open, we must not go
up empty handed. AS God judges a
man He judges a nation. On this,
the morning OF Christ's birth, we are
full of Joy and hope. This hope
opens a way that may be crowned
with fruition. Then onward, onward.

In the evening there were enjoyable
solos by Mrs. H. G. Fisk and Mrs.
A. Belle Croft, selections were read

Christmas Eve Festivals.

To a person at liberty to go rs his
thoughts might prompt him, on Sat
urday night, Christmas Eve, there
would come the impression that
Morrisville was filed to a commend
able degree with the spirit of Christ
mas time. All was life and stir;
three of the four churches were bril-
liantly illuminated, handsomely dec
GRATED and well filled with happy,
eXpectant children and interested
older folk.
In the Universalist church there
was a filed seating capacity and
pretty decorations, with two large
Christmas trees, one at either end OF
the central platform. The choir and
Sunday-school members rendered APP
prOpriate selections. with an orches-
trail accompaniment composed of
Mrs. Ida Churchill at the organ,
C. A. Gle with cornet, Fable George,
clarinet, and Prof. W. f. Whipple
with violin Aside from the carols,
recitations, ETC., there was an inter-
esting exercise in which a gigantic
yellow pumpkin was sliced open by
Mrs. Santa Claus" impersonated
by Miss Lou Slocunf, who liberated
from the pumpkin prison, the Christ
mas Fairy, Miss Brenda Harris.
This true representation of the
pumpkin stood about four feet tall
and was hidden from an early view
by q large screen.
In the Methodist church the usual
large congregation gathered for the
Christmas Eve exercises. Trees and
'evergTeens were used in profusiOn
and over the center was suspended
a large illuminated star. There was
a large chorus of singing Sunday
school members, occupying the
greater part Of the platform and
rendering very spirited selections.
Judge Morse, superintendent of the
Sunday-schOol, was in charge of the
evenings program, which was made
up OF numerous selections, Tecita-
tions, songs, etc, all finely executed.
There was a great display of presents
and the exercises and distribution of
gifts made a lengthy program.
The exercises at the Congregation
al church were held in the vestry,
which, with the parlors, was filed
with people. The exercises we're en-
tirely with the children who were
placed on an impromptu stage ar
rangement in the southeast corner.
Miss Lucille Robinson as Queen of
the Christmas Fairies, was enthroned
under q handsomely decorated can
opy il the corner. Her maids of
honor were the Misses Daisy Stewart
and Irene Dubrey. Upon being sum
mOnod by the fairy queen a large
band of Brownies appeared from
every conceivable nook and corner
a realistic representation Of these
popular little people with stupen-
dous circulation at the belt. The
Brownies through with their parts,
made up of singing, prancing about
two small trees, speaking, ETC., Santa
Claus appeared in furs and whisker-
cites and distributed the large num-
Der of presents. The novelty intro
duced ia the shape of the little people
was happy idea, requiring quite an
amount OF work, and resulting in a
satisfactory success.

Abstinence and Victory.

WheeImen may derive a useful les
son from the result of the six-day
contest of strength and endurance
lately held in New York. Miller, the
winner, who covered 2,007 miles is a
total abstainer from intoxicants,
and does not even use tobacco. In
training he did not once have re-
course to liquor, Waller, who came
in second, does not drink any intoxi-
cants and used none during the race.
Pierce, who was third at the finish, is
reported to indulge very sparingly,
and all he took in training was one
half teaspOOnful Of brandy. Albert,
the fourth man, takes a drink occa-
sionally, when he feels like it, and in
training used little beer. These
facts were derived from W. C. Mulvey,
of the Quill Club Wheelman, one of
the managers Of the race, who also
states that the twelve men who re-
manned to the finish had not used
alcoholic liquors in any form during
the race. The twenty-one who left
the track before the week was over
used claret in training and while in
the race. The athlete who let's liquor
alone stands the strain of a close
struggle better than one who uses it
under the delusion that it will i'm

An Important Meeting.

We are glad to announce that q
special meeting of all those persons
who in the past or present or future
have been, or ale to be subscribers
to the fund raised for the purpose of
constructing and maintaining or i'm
proving the granite cutting plant
here, is called to be held in the Office
of Town Clerk Fleetwood, tomorrow
Thursday evening at half-past sew
en-. This meeting is called that some
tangible idea may be reached, if pos
sible, as to the exact present situa-
tion as regards the plant, that the
old complications arising from the
financial disturbances coming to Mr..
Brechin, a former occupant, in which
case there is an assignee, and their
relations to the stockholders, may
be understood and so adjusted as to
make the future success of the insti-
tuition assured. For some three years
or 80 the exact situation has not been
known, and it seems no material pro-
gress has been made. 1t is high time
that old matters were squared off, al
lowing the best plans for the future
to go on. The present occupancy of
the plant is so entirely successful and
satisfactory that proposition
would be gladly entertained, looking
toward'its enlargement, an increase
of business and permanent holding
by purchase. Let all hands turn out
tomorrow night and aid in simplify
ing possible transfer of the plant.
