Our generous friend, William p Haines,
seems to be the good Santa Claus of this
place As has been his custom for years
past, each pupil of the two schools, (about
one hundred in all was supplied with a
fine orange and good sized box of eatables
with the exception of one piece of canday,
which the young folks say was very hot. A
large delegation of small boys from Clarks-
boro, came down on Friday afternoon, hay
ing we suppose nothing tangible in the
way of Santa Claus there. They went
home happy Both parents and Young
folks highly appreciate the kind thought
fitness of their friend.
The public school entertainment on the
evening of the twenty second was well at
tended The Christmas Tree Drill was es-
pecially fine Besides the kind remem-
brances of Mr.. Haines, each pupil received
a box OF confectionery from their teachers.

The Friends school entertainment on

Rhymes accompanied by singing was finely
carried out by the participants who seemed
wholly unconscious Of the merriment they
were exciting Charles T. Heritage effect
ually performed the part Of Chris Kingle,
Friend Haines' donations and q
teacher to each pupil.
