GEORGETOWN.

GEORGETOWN, Dec. 19.--The begin
ming of next week will doubtless be anx-
iously expected by many of the little
folks who will wait rather impatiently
for the ubiquitous Santa Claus. Some
of the older ones may be participating
in the same state of feeling.
So far we have not heard of much
preparation for the holidays and our
opinion is that they will pass rather
quietly in this section.
There is still some sickness among
our people. The doctor was called
Thursday morning to see Mrs. Helen
Michael, of Stewards run, who has a
severe bilious attack.
Mrs. Emaline Stewart is also under
the Doctors treatment and has been in
poor health for the last mouth.
Jasper Vince, of Switzer, Barbour
county, came last week to the scenes of
his childhood and is visiting his brother
John L. of this place and other friends
on Stewards run and Indian creek. Mr..
w. was all his early life citizen of this
vicinity and has many friends who are
very glad to see him. He is now SUI
perintending the farm for the mainte-
nance of paupers of Barbour county.
The wintry weather has put a quietus
on farm work, excepting feeding stock,
etc., and we are getting a holiday, in
advance of the usual date
Alyan G. Michael, of Hagans, made
business trip to Metz Friday. He was
accompanied by S. G. Stewart who
made call on friends in Warrington
