ENTERTAINMENT,

Santa Claus was given royal receipt
ion at Hips Hall on Christmas Eve, it
being the occasion of his annual visit.
The room had been tastefnlly decor
ated with flags and evergreen, while
on the stage .thcre were three trees
laden with candy, dolls, toys and every
thing else that brings JOY to the hearts
of the children.
The hall was packed until standing
room was at a premium. The happi-
ness of the children was reflected in
their shining faces, while the older
people sat back and forgot their cares
in the enjoyment OF the pretty picture
presented by the little ones.
The programme was interesting and
well rendered. credit to the ladies
who had worked so hard to make it
success and to the children and others
who took part. The opening carol,
sung by Mrs. McGill, Mrs. Metzger,
Miss Kelly and Mr.. Stearns, and the
piano solo and accompanimentsb by Mrs.
Campton were highly appreciated by
the audience, but we do not think that
they win feel in the least agrieved when
we say that the chief interest was in
those parts which were taken by the
children themselves. The moving tab
leau, in which the children, imperson-
ating the different months, passed in
procession, doing homage alike to the
new and the old years, was particularly
pretty. They were assisted by Miss
Alice Carothers, who heralded the
months as they entered, Miss Ida Car
others, who made a very charming
New Year, and Misses Rowe Gallagher
and Florence Lamb, who impersonated |
the months of June and December.
The cantata was rendered entirely by |
the children. The choruses were bright /
and the little soloists, Sophia Monroe,
Oracle Bassett, Carrie Humphrey,
Walter Grips, Jean McOmie and Katie
McGill, all sang prettily, while the little
captivated the audience
with their roguish faces
The entrance of Santa Claus was
hailed with delight and was followed by
the distribution of the presents, which
took some time. All of the little ones
were remembered, and many of the big
ones. Then came the Good Night song
and farewell to Santa until another
year.

A Joint War In Sight. .

A war OF determination is likely tC
soon be Instituted against the Joints
at Oxford. Monday the matter OF
granting a druggists permit to Will
liam Dunn of Oxford, came up iu
probate court. There were five or six
Oxford women present to protes,
against the issuance of the permit on
the ground that 1t would effect the
result OF the proposed attempts to
run out the Oxford joints. The
women argued that 1t would be dif.
dcult to create sentiment against the
Jolntlsts so long as whisky was allowed
TO be sold at the drug stores.
Druggist Dunn compromised the
matter with the women by agreeing
not to take out a license for a period
OF sixty days II necessary II the women
would Institute proceedings against
the Joint keepers. The court granted
the permit with that understanding.
The women aud the druggist are now
practically agreed that the Joints
must go. 1t will be a good thing f,r
the drug store ana the women will
have vindicated the honor of the
town.
