ODD MoRAvlAN CUSTOMS.

Simple Ceremonies Observed at
Christnias and New Year Times.
No more law-abiding and generally
upright citizens are to be found in the
republic than the Moravians at Lititz,
IA. Their Christmas and New Year
cbservances are Enthusiastically SIM
pc. AT the appointed hour en- Christ
mas eve the services of the church COM
mence with instrumental. music by The
choir. after which the pastor reads the
sacred history OF the birth CT Christ.
when a! rartake of love-fcast, cor
sis.ing CT "iove feast cake and mug
o: Ect coffee. The c.icir a~an per-
forms piece of sacred music, near the
/! conclusion of which all the little chill
Grer are served' with lighted wax car
die about four inches long. which they.
hold in their hands until the cicse Of
the ceremony. The Moravians have a
number of queer customs, among 9TH
crs that of assembling in church before
day on Easter morning and marching
IN procession to the graveyard toTfhe
sound of p.aintive music, and sound
ing funeral dirge for each member of
the community who has died during
the preceding year.
On New Year eve the people also re-
rair to the church about seven o'clock
! and pass the time in reading the Scrip
lures. listening TO sermon, etc. until
within few minutes of 12 O'Clock.
The congregation then unite in solemn
PRAYER, but at the first stroke Of the
clock in the steepie that proclailns the
; birth of the new year the band sta
toned in the choir strikes up ire
mendous clangor of Welcome, in which
coruets. flutes, du.cimer and all kinds
OF instruments help to swell the joyful
strain. After performing for several
minutes the congregation interchange
congregations and retire to their re-
spective homes.

MANY ARE MENTIONED.
NO DEARTH OF MATERIAL FOR MI.
NICTPAL OFFICERS.
Nearly Every Man Has Friends Who
Think He Is Needed as Mayor
or Alderman,

THE NEWS had not properly survey
ed the field last week when it stated
that there were only four gentlemen
mentioned in connection with the
mayoralty at the election this fall.
Although three aldermen are to be
elected and only one mayor there
seems to be three men, according to
their friends, who would make a good
mayor to one who would dignity an
aldermanic position.
Among the many who have
been mentioned the past week in con-
nection with the mayorality are 9on.
j. w. F. LOWrey, Mayor w. B. Cheat
ham, Hon. ). r. Christie, Dr. J. G..
Dean, DR.. L. G. GOneke, DR.. w. c..
Paschal, Judge j w. Peddy and Col
Onel j. G.. Parks. None of these gem
tlemen have announced their inten-
tiOn, however, and it will not be
known, probably, how many or who
will be in the race until after the city
democratic executive committee meets
and names day for the primary.
For aldermen Messrs. w. II. Davis,
j. g. Dean and f. M. jennings,
members of the present board whose
term will expire this year, and Major
Bynum Hood, j. w. Wooten, j. r.
Mercer and w. r. Baldwin have been
suggested. 1t is not known whether
Messrs. Davis, Dean and Jennings will
stand for reelection, or whether either
of the other gentlemen will consent to
be candidates, but they all are being
talked of in connection with alderman
ic honors and emOluments.
The city democratic committee is ex-
peCted to meet in short while and
put the campaign in motion.

COMMISSIONERS FIX TAX RATE,
Total State and County Rate S12O on the
Hundred.

Total State and County Rate S1.2O on the
Hundred.
The people of Terrell will pay less
taxes this year than they did last.
The county commissioners, at their
regular mon hly session yesterday, fixed
the county rate at S. 70 on every thou
sand dollars worth of property. This
is a decrease on last years county rate
of $500 on the thousand, but while the
people will pay less county taxes they will
pay the state more. The state rate this
year is 1921 ON the Thousand dollars
worth of property, an increase of $1.OO.
1t offsets half the reduction in the county
rate and makes the combined state and
county rate $1,000 on the thousand. 81
less than it was in 1897.
When the reduction of $500. 900
in the property returned for taxation
this year is taken into consideration the
fact chat the commissioners are able to
reduce the tax rate and meet all the
county's obligations speaks we'll for
their management of affairs The in
debtedness incurred in building the new
court house and Jail is being reduced
yearly, and the commissioners think
that from now on the county tax rate
will gradually grow less.
