CHRISTMAS BELLS.

Christmas bells, Christmas bells,
On the air the music swells;
All join in the gladstone lay;
Christ our Lord was born to-day.
Christmas bells, Christmas bells,
o, the Joy and cheer which tells
OF our Saviour's lowly birth,
Peace and good will to the earth.
Christmas bells, Christmas bells,
On the air the song still swelIs,
See the Star of Bethlehem shine
With light so bright, divine.

PUT DOWN DEDICATION" IDEA
Farmers's Plea Had Weight Among
Brother Asriculturists.

In the early forties, on a certain
town meetin' day" in one of the small
farming communities of the Granite
state, there was more than the usual
interest and excitement. Some auda-
cious Philistine had secured the inser-
ton in the warrant of an article "To
see If the town will appropriate $500
for a now schoolhouse."
The sturdy yeomanry were out In
force to fight down this proposition.
The sympathetic moderator didn't
moderate" them worth cent The
so-called "toney" advocates, conscious
from the start Of their numerical
weakness, were conciliatory and per-
suasive, in the hope of thus winning
to their standard sufficient of the OPP
position to carry the day. These hopes
were dashed, however, when a vet
eran farmer, the Nestor of the guild,
got the floor, and shouted in foghorn
tones:
What do you want Of skulehouses,
anyway? This eddication talk is rails.
in the old Harry with the boys on the
farm! There's that Danny Web

Are you from old Kentucky?
Are you going home in June?
When the trumpet vines are blowing
On the air dancing tune;
When the bluegrass in the pastures,
Is a climbing to your knees.
And the honey bees are wooing
Roses, nodding in the breeze
Are you coming?
Are you from old Kentucky?
From the home of Henry Clay,
Where the memories of Lincoln
Come up freshly every day,
Where the footsteps of the angels,
In the bluegrass make no sound
Yet the violets they awaken
Where they're sleeping in the ground,
Then you're going.
Are you from old Kentucky?
Where Jeff Davis saw the light,
Where the shadows softly nestle
In the bosom of the night;
Where the stars look down in splendor
On the swiftly running streams,
Where Gods made another Eden
And has peopled it with dreams?
Then you're going.
Are you from old Kentucky?
Where the thoroughbreds are born.
Where they make the finest whiskey
From the very best of corn;
Where the women are the fairest
That the sun ere shone upon,
In their cheeks the flush of roses,
In their eyes the light of dawn?
Then you're going.
When the sun in old Kentucky,
Lightly rests upon the hills;
Where it CLEANS upon the mountains
And is dancing on the rills;
When the bluegrass softly ripples

And the sweet magnolia blossoms
Clean like snowflakes in the trees,
You will be there.

that might be of interest to

We have been located here at the
town of Denton for the last
ten years, and have seen real
estate here double, and quadru-
pie itself in value in that time.
In fact some property is worth
ten times what it was ten years
ago. Isn't that a good showing,
even for the growing west? 1t
is partly owing to our excellent
soil and climate, partly to the
lack of fertility in the soil of
some of the eastern states, but
perhaps mostly to the ravages of
the boil wevil further south, that
land prices have gone skyward.
