The midnight Christmas mass
was very largely attended and the
number of communions on that
brilliant occasion was perhaps
larger than usual. The weather
was fine, and spring-like, and all
could venture out at the time OF
the birth of Christ without suffer
ing any hardship from exposure
to rain and cold. The ceremony
was exceedingly brilliant and i'm

that will never be forgotten.

"A Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year.

We take this occasion to extend
sour greetings and our best wishes
ifor the coming year to all our pa
ttrons and readers.
The year which is just slipping
from really to history has not been
sas abundant of good and prosperi-
4y, from general point of view.
Our crops have not been very sue
scessful, rice was almost a complete
ifailure, and has left some traces
.of disaster behind it, and in view
.of this fact very little rice will be
cultivated here the coming season.
The cane crop has been short
sspd prices have not been as high as
they should have been considering
'smallness of the crop. This crop.
ihowever, will be increased the
.coming season as the planters look
upon cane, after all, as being one
.of the best and safest crops, and
large amount of seed has been sa.
wed for the next crop.
Cotton was also short this sea-
son. but the price has always main
tained higher and firm. and has
iproved our best crop this year

ton the coming season will bt
,greatly increased.
Notwithstanding these croE
failures, the town and parish
have prospered most wonderfully
the planters today are in positio.
to stand a little adversely withou
suffering or being crippled, thei
plantations are producing the ne
,cessaries of life and the none.
crops always bring enough cash Il
meet exacting obligations. Th
country is in aourishing condi
ton.
St. Msrtinville has progressed
and built more new, substantial
buildings this year than in an.
five years previous. and the health
ly condition of our affairs point t.
much greater prosperity in tn
future. Nearly one hundred new
buildings have been built thi
year, new bank, a Wholesal
Grocery and Water Works an,
Electric Light plant are our mos
notable improvements.
We have prospered, and W
shall continue to increase on
prosperity, because We have tn

'rhe county court met yesterday In
regular monthly session. The most i'm
portant matter taken up during the
day was that pertaining to fees in the
Justices court. The court made an or
der that hereafter the justice should
show the officer making arrests or serv-
Ing papers. II seems to have been
past custom TO allow the constable the
fees for all services rendered In the
justices court by the sheriff. and the
county court proposes stopping the
practice. The sheriff. OF course. could
receive no fees. being a saiaried officer.
An opinion was received from DIS
tflct Attorney Allen with reference TO
the legal disposition 10 be made OF cer-
tain revenue OF the county. The dis
trict attorney has ruled that all fines
and licenses collected by the county
shall go to the general fund. In the

Ole Nelson. aged about Is years. who
was arrested for having broken into
Swan Wilson'S saloon and stolen s5 In
change from the cash register. yester-
day made full confession OF his crime 10
Sheriff Linville. The boy was turned
over TO the sheriff by Chief Hallock and
placed In the county jail. He had not
been imprisoned for more than an hour
before the sheriff got the entire story
from him.
Nelson's late career has not been one
that would reflect credit on him. He
has been regarded with suspicion for
long time and the peace officers were
not surprised that he committed the
burglary. He told the sheriff that he
had gone to the saloon and kicked In
the door, and that he had also made an
unsuccessful attempt to hold up Eriing
Bjorptadt at an early hour Monday
night.
He SAID he did not realize the serious
hers OF his offenses at the time OF their
commission, aa he was then intoxicated.
but that he awoke the next morning 10
full realization OF the mistake which he
had made.
District Attorney Allen said yester-
day that he would file two informations
against Nelson--one for the attempted
hold.up and the other for robbery OF
the saloon. The case win be brought
up before Judge Mcbride today and, u
a plea Of guilty Is entered, AZ seems
likely IN view of the young mans con-
fcasion, he will doubtless be sentenced.
The tell-tale imprint OF Nelson's heel
on the door that was kicked In In evil
dence that would weigh with any jury.
The imprint showed every tack In the
right heel and the impression made by
sheriff Linyille. and also one taken by
chief Hallock. corresponded exactly
with the heel OF the right shoe worn by
Nelson. one OF the tacks was missing
In the imprint and the heel of the lads

John Johnson, the boy recently adjude-
ed feebie-minded by the sanity COM
nisioners, was not really insane, and
that the asylum was not the place for
him. The complaint against the child
was flied by his mother and not by the
officials OF the county. The sanity
commissioners also realize that the aay-
ium IL not the place for the lad, but,
II he should have been committed. he
could not have been sent elsewhere.
Members Of the sanity board were lem
lent with the lad. agreeing to turn him
over to the custody OF his father on the
promise that he would be kept on the
streets. The gentleman who yesterday
voiced the protest against the attitude
OF other boys toward the johnson lad
had no idea OF criticIsing any OF the
county authorities or members OF the
sanity commission. and was very much
surprised 20 learn that his statement
had been mIsconstrued.
