PIT. LYNN ITEMS.
This has been an ideal day even
for the Sunny South.

Christmas with his family.
Mr.. and Mrs. S. Mlrtln went to
the Twin CITY to eat turkey and
crAuberries with friends there.
Capt. aud Mrs. Sam Lingard are
at the Hub enjoying Xmas testivi-
ties with relatives and friends. l
trust all the absentees had a very
merry Christmas.
Our good looking planer foreman,
Mr.. W, D. Lurry, hied himself to
the Gate City Saturday night, to
make his best girls heart glad. i
trust the gentleman will succeed to
his hearts content.
The Christmas tree carnival was
on big scale, which proved to be
pleasant and grand success, and
was thoroughly enjoyed by all, from
the smallest CHILD to the maturest
adult. A large holly tree covered
with red berries, was reared in the
Lynn Chapel on Saturday evening
which reached to the peak of the
roof with a spread of fifteen feet,
which was taken in hand by our
good ladies and beautifully artist
cally decorated as the ladies only
know how to do.-God bless them.
When they got through, the tree
was loaded with beautiful and use
full good will offerings, to the mum
Der of about three hundred, worth
from five cents to ten dollars each,
which excited the admiration of the
beholders, particularly the dear lit
tie children. One of the most pleas
ant features of the presentation
was by the Lynn Lumber Co, of
about 70 presents-two to each one,
both great and small-besldeS ten
or twelve pounds of the best candy,
apples, oranges and nuts, enough
to satisfy all The selection of
these offerings was made by Major
c. E. Bramble, the general mana
ger of the lumber plant, who de-
serves much credit for his discern
ment and Judgment of the fitness
of things,
About six o'clock the people be-
gan to gather in the chapel, many
of whom were struck with wonder
at the beautiful sight presented to
their view. Many EXPLANATIONS
we're heard such as, ooh my, amt
it pretty" "Oh how lovely" etc.
At 7 o'clock the choir, Mr. Frank
Bennett, leader, Mrs. Fred Nc
Clure at the organ, rendered some
fine musical selections in an artistic
manner, which was pleasing to ev-
cry one.
At 1880 o'clock the expectant as
sembly was called to order by G. T.
Mcclure, who read the story of the
birth of the Saviour, as announced
by the Angels of the Lord to the
shepherds in the fields of Bethlehem
following which be spoke a few ap
propriate words for the occasion,
calling attention to the fact that
this was the most important ami
versary that christian people ever
celebrated, and that it is fitting
that we should on this occasion man
ifest good will toward each other in
tangible way, especially to the
little children. At the close Of his
remarks, by special request, he eX-
tended the thanks of the Lynn
Lumber Co, to the ladies, children
and gentlemen, for their faithful
work and interest manifested in
their business, and also the thank
of Mr.. 9. E. Bramble for pleasant
associations and many courtesies
extended and able assistance rem
dered by all in the management of
the company's business. Here, a
unanimous vote Of thanks was ten
dered the Lynn Lumber Co., for
their thoughtful kindness in con-
trbuting to our Christmas celebra-
ton in such tangible and beautiful
Xmas offerings, and to Mr. BrambIe
for his assduous and untiring eff
forts to please, in which he fully
succeeded,
As the fruit was ripe and ready
to harvest, Fred Mcclure, Joe Vim
Vlrd and will Borders were APP
pointed to gather in the fruit,
which was done amid a great deal
of fun and merriment, to the salts
faction OF all present. So ends the
Christmas carnival for the year A
