cision was handed down Thursday.

chance to die a natural death, as other
men die, had been given him by tho
highest court in the State, and lie greatly
rejoiced.

dor of Christopher O'Byrno, an Irish
peddlcr, of Atlanta, who was in that
county in tho previous month of May.

CHRISTMAS.

And the season of Christmas cheer has
arrived once moro. "Peace on earth,
good will to men," is tho glad refrain.
The year 1900, tho last of the century, is
fast drawing to close, and with it the
nineteenth century will be swallowed up
in tho irrevocable past. Wo stand at
once on the threshold of now year and
a new century. Solemn and inspiring is
tho thought! In tho history of our race
there has never bcon so much to make
life worth living.
AS We stand at the parting of tho cen
turies feeling of retrospect and fore
cast grows upon us. The contcmplativc
mind passes in review the manifold op-
portunitics for doing good, and regrets
tho many failures to improve them as
they should have been. We view with
sacred awe the flight Of years, aud real
izo tho Importance of being "d..igent in
business, fervent in spirit, serving the
Lord"
Many and rich arc tho blessings which
have crowned our lives, even though at
times disappointmcnts and Affections
sore have been our portion. Through
them all we have been brought on our
way to SEQ this glad day. and we should
rejoice. Let us not be wholly given up
to ropining or gricving over events be-
yond our control. Let us rather say
that God of love and truth rulcth over
tho affairs of men and doeth all things
we'll. Has face beloved and familiar
faded from vicw2 Can the warm grasp
of tho hand be felt no morc2 Has a gem
tie voice been hushcd to our mortal carsp
Does the heart ache and the tears flow
when wo recall how one short year hath
wrought such great changes? BE com
fortcd. "Peace, be still, and know that
am God" is tho command of Him
whose holy will is the law Of heaven and
earth. "Thc wind is tempered to the
shorn lamb" and we shall never be
afflicted above that we arc able to bear.
On this happy Christmas morning let all
disconsolate come unto the fountain
opened up in the house Of David, whose
streams are for the healing of the
nations, for this day commentaries the
opening of that fountain whose waters
SnalI never cease 10 no" until inc all
guish of every human heart is appcascd.
But while sickness and sorrow have
been the portion of few, health and hap
piness have been the lot of many. The
lines have fallen in pleasant places and
they have had a goodly heritage. 1t is
no task for them to rejoice and give
thanks. They have but to obey the
common instincts of nature, and give
vent to tho promptings of the heart
But this feeling should not find express
sion in revelling and dcbauchcry. Pu,
all such far away. Rejoice and be glad
if you will; but many are the avenues OF
innocent amusement and harmless plea
sure, SO that none should suffer rcmorst
of conscience because sin licth at the
door. Remember the day celebrates the
anniversary of the birth of tho Saviour
of mankind, and for this cause it was
that the angelic choir sang to the shep-
herds among the Judcan Hills: "Pcact
on earth, good will to men"
And, now, to our readers and patrons
one and all, THE COURIER wishes /;
merry Christmas and happy New Year
