CHRISTMAS TREAT TO THE
POOR CHILDREN A SUCCESS

The treat given the poor children
of our city by the ladies OF the
National Needlework Guild, was a
success In every way. The hour
set for the treat was three o'clock.
Saturday afternoon, 'ut long be-
fore that time the stairway y leading
up to the upper dor of the City
Building was crowded with chill
dren with happy eager faces wait
ing for the doors to be opened to let
them In. BY three O'Clock over a
hundred children had gathered to
receive clothing, toys and candles
from these noble ladies who meet
each year and make the hearts Of
these children glad with Christmas
Joy. After the children were seated
a very delightful program of music
and literary number which had
been prepared for their enjoyment
was rendered. Mrs. Hull presided d
at the piano and the Mesdames Ed
Ryan and John Forker delighted
the little ones with two beautiful
solos. Both were Christmas songs
and suitable for the occasion.
The Rev. S. T. Kelley, pastor of
the Baptist church answered call
to make an address to the children,
and not considering the fact that
he had arrived In the cltv only a
few hours before, tired out from
Sistersville daily oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1902-1905, 1903-12-28

travel, he responded to the call,
and expressed himself as being de-
lighted to help with the program Of
the afternoon. Rev Kelley was
attentively listened to by the chill
dren present and olso the older
people. His talk was composed Of
happy cheerful thoughts for the
children. and their bright smiles
showed how delighted they were
with Rev. K.lley' ard we know
that he won his way into the hearts
of these children at their fist
meeting. R-v. Kelley's address
was verv much appreciated
and the members Of the
Guild desire TO extend their hearty
tn anks-aud with 1t a very warm
welcome to Mr.. Kelley VINO comes
so highly recommends d to the Bap
tist church of this city.
Each child was given some arti
Gle CT cloihing, a book, a toy aud a
sack of nuts aud cardv, and as they
lett the building Chas. ellis was
waiting on the outside to present
each child with sack of hot pop
corn. He too deserves mention In
these columns and thanks for the
part he took In making the treat
success. And as Rev. Kelley said
It was very difficult TO say which
er j Dyed the afternoon the most, the
children who received the gifts. or
the ladies who gave them.

Such awful railroad accidents
which occurred recently near Con-
nellsville, Pa, naturally raise q
question as to the advisability o!
running heavlly-laden passenger
trains at such high rate of speed.
Would 1t not be better to kill q
little more time and'not quite so
many people, For nany years back
the principal object In view has
been to reduce the running time
between different points, and the
different railroad companies have
Wed with each other in running
rapid trains. Would not a move
ment In the direction of more safety
and less speed meet with public
approval.
