THE GLAD DAY.

Once more the never resting wheels of time bring us to that glad season when we commemorate the day on which the white-winged messenger brought to the wondering Judean shep- herds the tidings that Prince and Savior had been born to the world. In every land and country where there are Christians there will be some sort of observance of an event which meant so much to a sinful world and which was-to be a blessing to humanity for all time to come. -.~
 Many and various will be the meth ods of celebrating the day. Some will go to the churches where music and sermons and exhortations will serve to strengthen and encourage the bearers and better fit them for the du- ties and responsibilities of life. Some, through necessity or cnoice, will fol- low their usual avocations, and there will be many who will make of the blessed day a time of revel and riot and dissipation lilly fitted to an occas- ion of such solemn importance. All are not impelled by like motives, and if some take this day for lawless amusements it will not be strange. nor will 1t lessen the solemn duty of others to observe 1t differently
 It is and has been from time im- memorial day for giving and receiv- ing. Old and young remember friends and loved ones with presents and love tokens and many heart will be made lighter by such evidences of affection and remembrance. Even the poor who have little to spend can spare some thing to at least make the children happy and cause them to forget for while their poverty and the hardships of life.
 The poor ye have always with you" said the blessed God-Man whose natal day we celebrate. and it is no less true now than 1t was when He went about doing good. The poor are with us all the time. and those who have some thing to spare cannot better initiate and honor the Christ than by giving to the poor. Their lot is a hard one at best and we know of no better way of showing our reverence and veneration for the savior's name and example than by relieving the necessities of those who have nothing.
 And to all, the rich and the poor, the high and the low, at home or abroad The Advertiser sends its greetings and wishes Merry Christmas.

was only told to get a perfect report of the speech at Tuscaloosa and this he did Where has The Age-Herald printed anything but a skeleton report of what Mir. Conner said at Talladega and Russeville? Since then Mir. Comer's own words demonstrate that The Ad- vertiser's reports of those speeches did him no injustice whatever.
 The Selma Times, cannot find a more unprejudiced report of Mir. Comer's speech than the one in The Advertiser of the 14th instant. If 1t is so anxious to do the right thing. why not print that speech. That would give its readers an opportunity 70. judge for themselves and not force them to rely on The Times's says SO as to what he said
 The only complaint we have found in regard to the report of that speech is from The Times and that complaint we give in full:
 In the report of Mir. Corners Tusca- as saying his brother was president of 2 convention. when the fact Is Mir. Conner said that his brother was presi- The Advertiser left out the word Bap- tist. and yet 1t pretended to give a fair. impartial account of B. B. Corners speech. The Advertiser was doubtless afraid to let 1t be known that Mir Conner had a brother who was a Bap- tist for fear 1t might help him in his race for governor.
 The Advertiser would not knowing ly detract in any particular from Mir. Corners brother. We have known and esteemed him for many years and al- ways note with pleasure any distinction his political or religious brethren may confer upon him. Nor do we desire to do any injustice to Mir. B. B. Conner. and for that reason did what none of his newspaper supporters have done printed in full his speech at Tusca- loosa, taking up nearly two pages of our space and consuming about 10000 words.
 The short hand reporter Is to be con- graduated that out of speech of such length only one complaint of omission and that only one word can be made. No harm was done by that, however. as nearly every body in Ala bama knows that MT. c. L. Conner is president of the Alabama Baptist Con- vention. It was printed time and again by The Advertiser last year in report ing B. B. Comer's speeches and has been published by us several times this year. The man or paper. however, that suspects every body else of impure motives. is hardly a safe counsellor.

w.tch,nr tbe Old Year Out.
BY PHIL H. ARMSTRONG.

Watching the old year out with Mabel,
 While the fireliEht glows; While the monstrous carved oak table
 Shades fantastic throws. On her face the light is falling
 That reveals her tender smile. And I quickly start recalling
 Old world romance to beguile. The shrieking winds outside do shout Watching the old year out with Mabel,
 Who cares what betide? Although skies are dark and sable,
 She is by my side. Thus we watch the old year dying.
 As he leaves us with a moan, And 1t starts me half to signing :: ~ For such joys to us he's shown. But New Years will dispel all doubt For Love helped watch the Old Year

Quiet Chrlstmas Eve.

It was Christmas eve,. but the rec ord in the police station at nightfall showed nothing beyond the ordinary in the way of arrests. Chief of Police Rondeau stated to your representative that the record of arrests for drunk and disorderly would fall short of the previous years. For this, he said, he was thankful. Last year, at Christi mas, he said. the city prison was tax ed to its capacity, while this year there was ample room for many more offenders He was congratulating himself on the good behavior of the people.

 A Deserving Servant.
 About five years ago Jack A. Dair, then professional nurse, actively en- gagged in his profession, saw the need for a more effective ambulance service in Mobile. He communicated his opin- ions to the public through the press of the city. The demand was made on the II the centre of the city for an ambulance station with vehicle properly equip ped for emergency cases. MT. Dair's argument was advocated by local phy- sicians, especially the city and county physicians and the result was the pur- chase of an ambulance and the appoint ing of an ambulance steward and driver, their headquarters to be in the police station. Mir Dair was appointed ambulance steward because, as the rec ommendation of physicians stated, of his eminent fitness for the position. "Buss" sBressingham, former police man and a man who was perforated by the bullets of a criminal and thereby incapacitated from active duty, was named by the Mayor as ambulance driver.
 The ambulance, since it's establish ment and location at police headquar- ters, has been kept busy. Call after call has been answered, and, in every instance has the call been answered ard Dair has given first relief to every patient on arrival, and, as evidenced by the city physician, much good has been accomplished by him in giving immediate attention to unfortunates.
 A movement has been inaugurated looking to the increase of salary for Steward Dair, his present salary hav- ing been pronounced insuficient for the services performed. The movement was begun by members of the General Council, in whose hands the matter rests.
