And she brought forth first-born

because there was no room Tor them
i'm the inn.-Luke i'll, Z.
The hills that had been lone and lean
Were pricking with a tender green,
And fiocks We're whitening over them
From all the folds OF Bethlehem.
The King of Heaven had come our
way.
And in lowly stable lay:
He had descended from the sky
in answer TO the worlds long cry
Descended in a lyric burst
OF high archangels, going first
Unto the lowest and the least,
To humble bird and weary beast.
His palace was Il Wayside shed,
A battered manager was His bed:
An OK and ass with breathings deep
Made warm the chamber of His sleep.
Three sparrows with a friendly sound
Were picking barley from the ground:
An early sunbeam, long and thin,
Slanted across the dark within,
And frightened in its silver fall
A cart-wheel leaning to the wall.
An ox-yOke hung upon hook:
A worn pillow with a clumsy crook
Was lying idly by the wheel.
And everywhere there was the feel
OF that sweet peace that labor brings
The peace that dwells with homely
things.
Now have the homely things been
made
Sacred, and a glory on them laid.
For He whose shelter was STALL
The King, was born among them all.
He came to handle saw and plane,
To use and hallow the profane:
Now is the holy not afar
In temples lighted by star,
But where the loves and labors are,
Now that the King has gone this way,
Great are the things of every day!

is 1T A TRICK?

The Augusta Chronicle thinks that
to pay farmers cash for their cotton
at present prices, and to agree to pay
whatever rise there may be within the
next ninety days, is "a trick to get
hold of the balance of the cotton crop
now in the farmers hands" 1t adds:
1--WE unhesitatingiy say that the
farmers and small dealers should abb
solutely refuse to turn loose their cot
ton on any such proposition as this.
Let them hold il until ten cents is
offered for it. Otherwise, they will
furnish the exporters and circulators
the means where with TO keep the
price down, in other words, a cudgel
with which TO beat out their lives.
1T is easy to see that with the cot
ton turned over to them at once, SO
that they can fulfill existing contracts.
they viii be Immediately relieved of
the great pressure which is now upon
them, and thus be in position to
keep the price down.
Farmers, hold your cotton, and
the spectators will be forced to pay
your price for it within the next sixty
days"
To the same effect writes Colonel
Alex. S. Anderson, one of the leading
farmers of Georgia, who is holding
his entire crop of five hundred bales.
He has issued circular letter to
farmers in which he says:
81 am reliably informed that there
is a scheme on foot to get possession
of the spot cotton which the farmers
of the cotton belt have been holding
from the market.
"A prominent farmer in this section
had proposition made to him yes
terday, namely, TO take his cotton,
grade it, and advance six cents per
pound on it without interest and
hold it for sixty days with the under
standing that the buyer was to have
the actual cotton and use it.
The plan is nothing less than an
attempt to hoodwink the farmer and
get possession of his spot cotton. The
buyers and those back of him realize
that the farmers are not going to sell
their cotton at prevailing prices and
this scheme has been gotten up, it
seems to me, just to get possession of
the spot cotton.
IF the farmers take.up the scheme
they will defeat the very ends they
have started out to accomplish. The
proposition is a very thin one when
looked at in the proper light. The
farmers will not sell to him in the
open market, he is necessarily COM
PEELED to hunt up another scheme by
which to dupe the farmer and get the
spot cotton to deliver.
Hold your cotton, brother farmers,
at home, or, if necessary, store it
with some reliable warehouse man,
With the specific instructions not to
sell until you get ready. During that
time draw on your cotton just as little
as possible. Then stand pat and you
will see a sight that will astonish YOU
A word to the wise is sufficient
The farmers have been compelled
to sell more cotton during the past
two weeks than they wished to sell
to obtain Christmas money. Now the
need for selling will not be so press
ing.
If the acreage is considerably re-
duced the cotton on hand will bring
ten cents before July.
II the scheme has bean Matched out
as indicated by the Chronicle and Col.
Anderson. the cotton farmers ought to
unite to prevent its successful opera

The Democrats held their caucus
in the First Ward last Tuesday after
noon and evening and things were
very lively Mt times. A disgraceful
scrimmage took place i'll the polling
room about 7:30 which threatened to
break mp the caucus and scatter the
election officers. At i0:20 n free fight
| occurred near the corner of Main and
Swan streets. Policemen Cole and
Cummings settled the disturbance
and hy night peace and quiet prevail
ed.

couraging the past week. The shops

1t seems strange but ii is fact nev-
ertheless that when man il elected

stands from the President of the
United States down to our wnrd pound
keeper.
That unconstitutional exemption of
the old veterans and firemen which
our Republican legislature fniled to
notice last winter will no doubt lose
to them number of votes.
This law has been in force for
great many years, aud it seems rather
late i'll the season TO find cut that it is
unconstitutional.
