JUDGE JOHN G. FERRIS has an
nounced his candidacy for the po-
sition of mayor of the city OF
Nashville. There is not better,
nobler, truer, higher-toned Chris
tian gentleman in the great state
of Tennessee than the old Exon

was for long time d citizen OF
this section, residing at Trenton
and has hundreds of old time
friends throughout w est Tennessee
who would be more than glad to
see him elected mayor of the CAPT

THE GRANVILLE TOBACCO WILT.

The North Carolina Agricultural Experiment
Station has issued a special bulletin No. 1881
on "The Granville Tobacco Wilt" the destructive
disease which played such havoc in Granville
County last summer. The authors are Professors
F. L. Stevens and W. G. Sackett. All interested
tobacco growers should obtain and read the bulle-
tin in full, but for the benefit of the general pub
lie We reprint here the conclusions of Messrs.
Stevens and Sackett:
"The tobacco wilt is a very serious enemy which
not only Injuries the crop, but also depreciates the
value of the land affected, inasmuch as it prohib-
its the growing of tobacco in the affected soils.
1T Is a contagious disease, spreading largely
through infected soil.
There is a little hope of restoring land that
lSOnce affected. The utmost care should be taken
therefore to prevent the spreading of the germ
BY means of infected tools or by any means.
"Ihe number of germs should be diminished by
cleaning up old fields and by burning all diseased.
plants in slightly affected fields as soon as they
are discovered.
The greatest hope for the redemption of land
now affected lies in the development of a variety
OF tobacco that can resist the disease"

Christmas.
Phillips Brooks.

And it came to pass in those days, that there
went out a decree from OResar Augustus, that all
the world should be taxed.
(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius
was governor of Syria.)
And all went to be taxed, every one into his
own city.
And Joseph also went up from Gailee, out of
the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of
David, which is called Bethlehem, (because he was
of the house and lineage of David,)
To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being
great with child.
And so it was, that, while they were there, the
DAYS we're accomplished that she should be deliv-
cred.
And she brought forth her frst-bOrn son, and
wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him
in a manager; because there was no room for them
in the inn.
And there were in the same country shepherds
abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock
by night.
And, 10, the angel of the Lord came upon them'
and the glory of the Lord shone round about
them; and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: tor
behold, I bring you good tidings OF great JOY
which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born Jhis day in the city OF Da-
vd a Savior. which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall lind
the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying IN
a manger.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-12-22

And suddenly there was with the angel a multi
tude of the heavenly host ~praising God, and say
ing:
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace,
good will toward men.
And it came to pass, as the angels were gone
away from them into heaven, the shepherds said
one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethle-
hem, and see this thing which is come to pass,
which the Lord hath made known to us.
And they came with haste, and found Mary and
Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
And when they had seen it, they made known
abroad the saying which was told them concerning
this child.
And all they that heard it wondered at those
things which were told them by the shepherds.
But Mary kept all these things, and pondered
them in her heart.
And the shepherds returned, clarifying and
praising God for all the things that they had
heard and seen, as it was told unto them.-Luke
2:1-2O.

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

They that deny a God destroy mans nobility,
for certainly man is of kin to the beasts by his
body; and if he be not of kin to God by his spirit,
he is a base and ignoble creature. It DESTROYS
likewise magnanimity and the raising of human
nature. For take an example of a dog, and mark
what 3 generosity and courage he will put on.
when ne finds himself maintained by a man, who to
him is instead of a God. So man, when he
resteth and assumeth/ himself upon divine protec-
ton and favor, gathereth a force and faith which
human nature in itself could not obtain; therefore
atheism depriveth human nature of the
means to exalt itself above human ~frailty.-From
Lord Bacon's Essay on atheism"

THE AGRICULTURAL BUILDING ASSURED.

It will crafty thousands of Progressive Farmer
readers to learn that an Agricultural Building
for the A. & M. College is at last in sight. The
State Board of Agriculture, acting under direc-
tons of an act of the last Legislature, will borrow
the money and erect the structure. It is hoped
that the corner stone can be laid at the commence
ment next May.
The next Legislature, however, ought to COM
plete this building at public expense. 1t is grossly
unjust to compel the farmers of the State, who
have paid three-fourths of the appropriations for
the textile and mechanical buildings, to erect an
Agricultural Building at their own expense, unaid-
ed by any other class of people.

o, Little Town of Bethlehem.

y, little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.
For Christ is born of Mary,
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wandering love;
0 morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth!
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth.
How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is givenl
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings OF his heaven;
No ear may hear his coming.
But in this world of sin,
Where meeks souls will receive Him still,
The dear Christ enters in.
o holy child of Bethlehem!
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin, and enter in,
Be born in us to-day.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great, glad tidings tell;
o, come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel.

On Keeping Christmas.

Christmas has been so long associated in the
popular mind with the exchanging of gifts that
we have lost somewhat the real meaning of these
gifts, which are, indeed, only intended as symbols
of love and goodwill. Only to. children do we
give with that freedom and spontaneity which
makes the gift more precious to the giver than to
the recipient. To get as much. as possible of this
real old Christmas spirit toward ones fellows
should be the engaging business of every one. We
must be good to somebody on Christmas Day, and
after buying toys for the children no one thing
occurs to us that is so easy to accomplish and SO
full of results as taking a little thought for the
lonely. Christmas is a festival of the family. But
how many among our acquaintance are there who
have no families how many excellent old bachel-
ors and lonely old ladies! We do not mean the
poor-there are plenty of philanthropists to look
after them, and they are usually well blessed with
families; but a man may be as rich as Croesus,
and yet if he have no place to eat but a hotel he
is poorer at Christmas than an Irishman with
six children and only money enough for one meal.
He belongs to a class which may well be an object
of your solicitude. Perhaps they could buy you
out thrice over, but you have a home and they
have not. Be good to hem-ask the lonely man
to dinner. 1t is not for the dinners sake, but the
spirit in which you make them guests at your
house, that these lonely people will bless you. And
when they have told story at your board, and
handled the children (f by good luck you have
any, and sat about the fire in the evening, how
much cheered and bettered they will go away;
how it will warm their hearts to feel that some
body cared enough for them to ask them to be
members of a family even for a day. That is all
Christmas is for-to show other people that we
love them, and to learn and be cheered by the
thought that there are people who care about us.
The unattached people scrape along after a fash
ion during the year, but at the holidays season
they are in a cold world, and then, if ever, do they
crave the thing which never comes truly into their
lives; and you, if you have a home-only a little
one-share it on Christmas Day with some friends
who have none.-December Woman's Home Com
naniOn.

A Christmas Thought.
