CHRISTMAS CAROL
When Christ was born in Bethlehem,
" was night. but seemed the noon Of
day,
The stars. whose light
Was pure and bright,
shone with unwavering ray;
But one, one glorious star
Guided the Eastern Magi from afar
Then peace was spread throughout the
land,
The lion fed beside the tender lamb;
And with the kid,
To pasture led
The spotted leopard fed;
10 peace. the calf and bear
The wolf and lamb reposed together
there.
As shepherds watch their nocks by
night.
An angel brighter than the suns own
light
Appeared in air,
And gently said.
Fear nOt,-be not afraid
For l0l beneath your eyes.
Earth has become a smiling paradise.
Contestants for the carol may use
their own taste and discretion In the
employment Of the above words.

TRAGEDY AT WEIR CITY.
John Davis Fatally shoots william Ha,

John Davis Fatally Shoots William Hal
loway..
BUssEY, March "A shocking trag-
edy occurred at Weir City, a coal min
ing suburb one mile south of Bussey.
A dance was in progress at the house
Of miner named John Davis and
several young men from Bussey proper
were in attendance. William Hollo-
way, son of DIR. j. G. Holloway, got
into an alteration with Davis and
was elected from the house. 1t is
stated that Holloway started in again
with knife in his hand and that Da-
Wis drove him out with stick of wood.
Davis is said to have then got his rifle
and took up position to guard the
door and when Holloway again APP
peared in range Davis fired and Halo
way turned and walked half way
around the house and fell, expiring
almost instantly and without uttering
word after he was shot. The ball
passed through his left arm, striking
the body near his suspender buckle
and ranging through the body in a
slightly downward course. Sheriff
Davis arrested the murderer who read
lily gave himself up. Davis is the man
who was suspected by many of being
guilty of the murder of Dan Mccarthy,
OF Marysville, some years ago, but no
proof was ever found against him.

Astronomers are now busy with
their preparations for observing the
eclipse OF the sun, which will occur
IN the morning of Monday, May %,
and will be total along a track vary
ing from forty to fifty miles in width,
and extending from New Orleans to
Norfolk. From there the shadow will
cross the ocean, will traverse the
Spanish peninsula, leap over the
Mediterranean to Algiers, and finally
leave the earth not far from ancient
Thebes. Before reaching the United
States it will have come across Mex
leo and the gulf, its entire path being
over 1000 miles in length. 1t is now
more than thirty years since a total
eclipse Of the sun last visited the At
lantic coast Of America, in 1859; nor
will the thing occur again until 1925,
At any given point, therefore, such
events are extremely rare, and for
this reason, if no other, are of great
interest.
