Christmas is the greatest festival
of the year. People talk of holiday
making. bnt this one season rsdistes
gladness. There is around it, as it
were, q halo or atmosphere of Joy.
From the time when we were tiny
children, before we knew the mean
ing of work, when every day was q
play day, We looked forward to
Christmas as q ma yic occasion. and
now that we are grown up we still
look forward to Christmas. There
is the excitement of the mutual
exchange of gifts, the exhilsration of
the winter festivities, the pleasures
of family reunions, inspiring sense
of holiday.
Holiday means properly holy day.
Be as generous, as light hearted, as
you may this Christmas time, enjoy
your holiday with all the energy that
high spirits can impart, but do not
forget it is holy day

unanimous In declaring that nc such

The Biggest Hog.
GAYLORD.

Mr.. Andrew Bilmire raised the
largest hog grown in the county for
the year just ending. The animal
tipped the beam at 700 pounds aud
was so fat it could not walk rapidly
without falling to it's knees, and
when down had to be helped mp.
Il was of the Poland China variety,
and was u curiosity to look at. The
animals eyes were so far back in its
head, being hidden by its protruding
cheeks, so that it could only see
straight 10 front, and we are advised
the hog could not turn around with
in space 30 feet in diameter.

EDITOR CLARKE COURIER, Berry
Vile, Va.
Dear Sir: We have seen in the col
umns of your paper of November &c
an article referring to the seven Por.
to Ricans at the Shenandoah Nor
NAL College.
We are thankful tn you in the way
you speak about US; but at the same
time We call your attention and we
would like you to rectify what you
say about our language.
Herewith we give you the Spanish
word for snow, which is "nieve. "
No doubt you must know that the
Spanish language is richer than the
English, and that we almost have .
word for everything. That is the
only thing we find wrong in your
article, and we would be very much
obliged to you if you would give pub
LEGATION to this letter in your paper.
Yours respectfully,

The holiday season is here. The
holiday spirit fills the air. The stores
are full of shoppers. The merchants
with pleased smiles are rapidly sup
plying the wants of all. Each pur-
chase satisfies some little heart, or

satisfaction that be is still remember

are some who prefer the exhilaration
Of the good old red eye. And again
the Youthful citizen who delights in
getting as much noise as possible
from the explosive cracker. And
so this Christmas comes, as others
have come, and goes as others have
gone. And some are glad, and some

dispensary law for Front Royal Mag

for it's introduction. when further

the committee on special, private,

of such bills could be accomplished
by general legislation, and such
private acts were therefore uncon-

Spending the States Money.


There is a DILL pending before =
Committee Of the General Assembly
of Virginia, the passage of which
means the appropriation of 100000,
of the peoples money for the James
town Tercentenary Exposition. We
hope it will not pass. Its passage
would be a public calamity. The
General Assembly in passing it would
be guilty of reckless extravaganza,
and would hold themselves up to the
State as one of the most regretta lie
assemblies ever convened for public
service.
In taking this position, however,
we would not have il understood
that we do not favor an sppropra-
tion for this enterprise. We think
the sum of $4,000 would be ample
70 identify the State with the cele-
bration. If this amount would not
suffice, then the promoters should
content themselves with the immense
private subscriptions made by individ
ual parties and corporations.
They have given it out TO
the public press that the SUN obtain
ed in this way would amount to mil
lions. This being the case, where is
the need for impoverishing the State
treasury.
There is plenty to DO with the
States money now. The Capitol is
in n deplorable condition aud needs
reuovating from top to bottom. The
basement offices and corridors have
an insanitary smell.
The timbers in the garrett are fall
ing to pieces with dry rot The
electric wiring is the worst to be seen
in any public building in any State.
The dust of ages has accu-
INFLATED upon the furnishings
of the two chambers. The
furniture itself, is old, greasy, and
dilspidsted. The flooring is not safe
for life and limb, and no one knows
when there will be a repetition of the
fearful calamity that sent many dis
uinguished citizens of Virginia to an
untimely death. We refer to the col
lapsing of the floor in the old Supreme
Court room, when so many people were
instantly killed. The beautiful
Houdon statue of Washington,
worth hundreds of thousands of
dollars, smirched with dir. and dust
as it is, grows more precious as the
years roll by, and the loss of this
work of art by fire is daily risked,
owing to the bad wiring.
And if there is not sufficient money
to remedy these things, then how
can the sum of 100000 be spared
for the great picnic on the James
River.
Another great need of the people
of the State is the establishment of u
Bureau of Printing. The exorbitant
prices charged by private presses for
this work, makes it necessary for the
State to own and operate its own
plant This 100000 would estab-
lish the plant, and in years to come,
would make a great saving for the
public purse, and remove the State
beyond the clutches Of the printing
sharks, who are gOuging her at every
turn.
And again we ask why the propos-
ed extravaganza, when the walls of
the State Library are cracking, and
that important building needs expen-
sive attention. Many more needed
expenditures could be pointed out.
They are each and all more impor-
tant than the Tercentenary Celebra-
ton. We hope therefore there will
be votes enough in the General
Assembly to defeat the Bill, OF to so
amend it as to bring it within reason
able bounds.
