CHRISTMAS THOUGHTS.

On this the eve of the anniversary
of the day on which was spoken
Peace on earth good will to men,
1t is natural that the mind should go
back over the ages and in imagina-
/. tion see the sages of the far east in
humble alteration at the manger, and
hear the angel chorus heralding the
dawn of Christerdom. Tonight and
tomorrow it will be told in story and
in song the world around, as is done
each recurring year, thus perpetuatlng
the Christmas spirit from generation
to generation. And of all the feast
days of the year Christmas should be
the brightest. 1t celebrates what 70
all Christendom is recognized as the
greatest event i'll the worlds history.
1t is the anniversary of the day on
which the children of men first heard
the 'glad tidings of good cheer that
unto them was born king, a savior
which is Christ the Lord. ~ On that
day the people took on new hope and
up to the present time the star and
the pillar of cloud have guided men
from the darkness of despair into the
sunlight of the Eternal Presence
where they have joined the heavenly
host and helped swell the chorus il
the glad hallelujahs of peace on
ea-th p"
Tomorrow should be the brightest,
most cheerful day of all the year.
May every reader OF The rflbdne ma
it Sc and enjoy a full measure of
happiness during the new year.

Feast Of Lights .

New York, Dec. 24-For the first
time in many decades Hanuka. one of
the most important Hebrew holidays,
will this year fall on Christmas.
Arrangements OF the Hebrew calendar
is such that the holy days all on a
different date each year. The fact
that there are thirteen months between
two Rosh Hashonnas, or New Year
Days, and further dependence of the
date on the phases of the moon, often
vary these dates as much as two
months in succeeding years.
Hanuka is the Feast of Lights and
is one of the most joyous in the He
brew calendar. 1t c"",rNa''"-'~ses tiie
victory of tbe-Ous of israel over the
.e4ses of Rome A legend, still re-
peated by the rabbis, recites that
when the Maccabees recovered their
temple in Syria the perpetual lamp in
the sanctuary was still burning
brightly, although not drop of oil
was in the bowl To recall this in
cident Jewish homes are brightly dec
GRATED and candles burned. Presents
are exchanged and there are festivi-
ties of a nature which have earned for
the day the name Of the Hebrew
Christmas.

SHIPMAN BROTHERS present Mr..

"The Middleman.'
THE MIDDLEMAN which has been
so successful wherever presented will
be the attraction at the local theatre
Monday night.
"EAsT LYNsE's' greatest recomen-
dation to theatre goers is the moral
taught, and no one can afford to miss
this performance as it has been pro
nounced by the press and clergey to
be the best sermon ever preached.
THE Prisoner of Zenda is one Of
the best known plays on the road.
This year 1t is under the manage
ment of Chapman Brothers, who have
sent us such attractions as Puddin-
head Wilson. This play comes 10
Morgantown in November.
LOUIS J RUSSELL, who will be seen
here in the character of "Cyrns Blen.
karin, is well qualified by artistic
temperament and natural attributes
to portray the various phases OF pas.
sion which the part demands. A
company of exceptional ability will
ably second the star, and the scenic
appointments will be magnificent
and complete.
To BE in line with the other
cities thus far visited by .The Mid
dleman'' standing room only should
be the sign displayed on the night
of it's engagement here. The sue
cessful melo. drama has been the hit
of two continents, enjoying the most

public. Do not miss the perfor.

MINDER LOSES ONCE MORE.
Again the Moose Is Drawn Close
to His Neck.

The supreme court of the United
States decided Monday against the
contention of Colonel John r, Cooper
in the case of Isadore Minder, the
Dawson tailor who is under sentence
of death in Macon. The effect OF
it's ruling is that Minder had just as
good showing for his life under the
Georgia laws as any other citizen,
and therefore he is not entitled to
new trial.
The case had been appealed on the
ground that the state laws, failing to
provide in murder cases for procuring
testimony of witnesses from other
seates. are inadequate and allow the
taking of a citizens life without Civ
ing him the benefit OF the rights call
ed for under the federal constitution.
The next step, it is suggested, will
be a resort to the.insanity laws cover
ing the grounds taken in the Mobiles
case. 1t would appear, therefore, that
the end is not yet in sight.

THE STATE CAN NOW PAY.
Supreme Court Decides Public Property
Fund Can BeUsed.

ATLANTA, GA, Jan. 4.-The public
property fund can be used for the pay
ment of the interest on the bonded
debt of che state. The supreme court
of Georgia so decided this morning ano
Treasurer Park will Immediately trans
fer the 1926, $3.50 from the public prop
erty fund to the interest fund.
The decision of the court was hand
ed down at nine o'clock today, Justices
Cobb and Fish dissenting from the
opinion OF the majority of the court.
According to the majority decision
there was only one point in the case.
and that point was whether the matur-
ed coupons of the outstanding bonds
were part of the bonds. The court
held that they were, and as result
were a part of the public debt, and,
therefore, the fund known as the pub
lie property fund, set aside for the pay
ment of the public debt, could be used
to pay the interest.
The decision, however, will probably
not remedy the states finaucial situa-
ton, and it is very likely that another
loan of 100000 will be necessary be
fore the end of the year. Governor
Gambler is having a table prepared by
the treasurer and comptroller in or

The WaIla WalIa Wreck.

A San Francisco dispatch says it is
not vet known how many persisted in
the wreck Of the steamer Walla Walla,
which was run into and sunk by an UNI
known French bark. The most con-
servative statement places the number
of dead at ten and the missing at thirty
six. Another estimate is that no less
than seventy-t persons are unac-
counted for. The fact that the bark
which caused the disaster did not
stand by to the Walla Walla indicates
that she must be seriously disabled,
