Christmas in the Churches.

Elaborate programmes of music and
handsome decorations of flowers will
again mark the celebration of Christ
mas in Savannah churches. The Epis-
copal and Roman Catholic churches
will celebrate Christmas Day itself
while the great majority of the other
churches will hold their celebrations on
the following Sunday, though in the
services to-day some of them will have
services appropriate to the day.
Probably the most interesting OF
these services will be that in the Ca
thedral of ST. John the Baptist. This
will be a solemn pontifical high mass
TO take place at $3.50 o'clock and to be
celebrated by Most Rev. Diomede Fall
COMA, o. S. F., Archbishop of Larissa
and apostolic delegate to the United
States The music on this occasion
will be in keeping with the elaborate
ness of the service. The decorations
of the church. too, promise to be unus-
ually beautiful.

THE FARMER.

There are many slips between
the cup and the lip, likewise be-
tween the guano and the bale of
cotton. The farmers life is full
of yicissitudes. First it is too
wet, then it is two dry. Too cold
and then too hot. When he
makes no corn, then corn goes to
81 per busnel. When he makes a
big lot, it sells at IS cents in
trade and he buys some old shop
worn goods for his corn. When
his cotton is scarce it goes at ten
cents, when he makes a big crop
it goes to 4 cents. When eggs
sell at % cents per dozen his hens
have quit for a vacation to rest
and recuperate. When eggs are
selling at 10 cents his machines
are in good working order. When
he gathers his potatoes they are a
drag on the market. When he
pays S. bushel for fancy cotton
seed he finds that his old seed
would have made more. But the
Farmer is the man that feeds
them ALL" and all honor to the
farmers, who are the backbone Of
the country.

LET'S HAVE 1T.

Just as the writer predicted
would be the case, the Seaboard
Air line railroad has acquired the
East & West railload, and will
build "short gaps" connecting the
two 50 as to form a continuous
line from Atlanta to Birmingham.
The Seaboard is allied with, if not
a part of the L. & N. system. The
"short gaps" mentioned in the
dispatch announcing the plans of
the Seaboard are probably from
Atlanta to Marietta and from Ma
rietta to Rockmart. To build
from some point on the Seaboard
across to Gainesville would not
include Atlanta with the vast
amount Of business that it could
give the road. Therefore it is
probable that this route will not
be adopted. To insure the road
to Marietta instead of it's diverg-
ing from the w. & A. at some
point near the river, our men of
influence should represent to the
Seaboard the advantages it would
receive by coming this way. Part
of this line has been already con-
structed by the old Marietta and
Polk Quarry railroad company.
