This Day Is Old Christmas.

This day, January 6, is Old Christmas. The Christmas festival, commemorative of the birth of Christ, as we understand 1t now, was, in the East during the third century, set on the same day of the year with Christ's baptism and the two com memorated on the 9th of January, which is now with us in the West the feast of the Epiphany. The Romans, like other pagan nations, had a nature festival, called by them Saturnalia-something like the riot ous drunkenness which disgraced Birming ham the past Christmas-and the northern peoples had Yule both celebrated the turn of the year from the death of winter to the life of spring. The Catholic church finding these festivals greatly cherished by the peoples, adopted them in part, altering their intention, observance and spirit, and shaping them to the uses of Christianity The power and authority of the church brought about a discontinuance of the 9th of January celebrations ,or rather merged them into the 25th of December period of joy.
 This day being Epiphany it is holy day in the Catholic church. It is celebrated on the 9th day of January, twelve days after Christmas, in commemoraton of the ap- pearance of our Saviour to the mag.ans or philosophers of the East, who came to adore Him with presents; or, as some oth- CTS will have it, to commemorate the ap- pearance of the star to the magians sym bolizing the manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles

in the State before nightfali on the day of it's publication There is work for the grammarian in the two phrases quoted, and reflection for lovers of facts.
 Birmingham, Mobile and Montgomery are the only cities in Alabama that have a population in 1900 of more than 5000. Nonsense. there are two hundred towns and cities that have a population exceed ing 25,000. The largest three cities have a population of more than 116Oc0! But a newspaper which boasts that it prints the happenings of a week is not proof against cutting off more than three thousand min isters from the total number of one church in one year, and similar triaes."

Wallace Circus and Nelson's.

There are times when ones power of
description fails. There are occasions
when mere words seem weak and puny
in comparison with the subject about
which they are engaged. This is a
case in point The work of the Nelson
family is indescribable. 1t is impossi-
BILE to convey to the layman even one
1.-THE of its manifold points of superior
ity and excellence. They are the aero
bats of the age, descended from aero
bats through generations of ancestors
who were each in turn kings and queens
in their day. They have attained a
physique that is acrobatique in every
pore, and renders it possible for them
to perform with ease feats that other
artists can only contemplate dream OF
but never to attain.
The Nelson's are under contract with
the Great Wallace Shows and appear
only with this mammoth organization,
The salary paid them is stupendous-
almost past belief. They receive So, 25C
for every week of service, This is due
to the fact that Mr.. Wallace wished &c
control them exclusively. The Wal
lace shows exhibit at johnson City on
Tuesday, October LIST. Big as the i'm
mense tents are, their tremendous ca
pacity will be tested to their utmost
| limits.

Meeting of the East Tennessee Horticu!'
tural Society.

The meeting of the East Tennessee
orticultural Society at the University
of Tennessee September 1918 seems a
matter of so much interest to the horti-
culture of the state that attention is
called to it in this way. Probably no
season in the last twenty years has been
so prolific OF horticultural lessons as
the present one. The dry winter and
the heavy drough of July, followed by
the unusual rains of August, have made
conditions that have been very trying
to the vegetable and fruit grower. The
program which follows is in the hands
of practical men, and they have been re-
quested to lay special stress upon the
experience of this trying season. 1t il
doubtful if better opportunity fol
horticultural study will be offered tx
the people of East Tennessee, and it il
to be hoped there will be alarge attend
ance at the meeting.
