CHILDREN HAVE
CHRISTMAS TREE.
Happy Event In Cross Hill-SOme Con
trasts With the Old Days-MOd-
ern Improvements.

CROSS HILL, Dec 24.-The Cross
Hill School closed Fridey, Dec. 18th,
for two weeks recess. The teachers
OF the 1st, End, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 9th
grades had arranged to have u Christ
mas tree for their pupils. This scribe
was passing and was invited to come
in and see the tree. 1t was q pretty
holly with red berries and willing
hands had put the presents upon it.
The teachers had put themselves 10 la
Dor and expense to see that every one
of the seventy or more pupils would re-
gifts to each other and the teachers
came in for nice share also. Old
Santa Claus was good enough to favor
them with visit in person to distri-
butte the gifts, all arrayed in his robe
and cap of fur. 1t was a pleasant sight
to witness this tree, and to see the
hsppy children enjoy it, 1t will be q
bright day in their lives and they will
never forget shls happy thought in
their tecshers to provide for them so
Wucn pleasure.
1 could not but think that these chill
dren have many advantages that we
old r ones did not enjoy. A good many
chsnges have taken place in that old
school room since as q boy sat and
puzzled my brain over the "Rule OF
three" tare and tret, etc. Modern
desks have taken the place of the old
seat and with no back, that made a
Buys back hurt, (mire hurts a little
yet sometimes) having to sit so long
with no support. With shades at the
windows, good heaters to keep the
room warm, picture, and many other
advantages over the old room used to
know, could not help but say happy
children, you ought to appreciate these
blessings.
And then Christmas tree loaded
with them. 1 don't think we ever had
one like that. We had tree, or part of
tree, q branch, limb perhaps II was
.strewn of its leaves however. and did
not bear presents, but stood up in one
corner in threatening attitude and
was an obeject of fear. 1 felt like con-
gratulating teachers and pupils on &C
