Christmas was generally observed in Selma today and with a few exceptions the day was free from any acts of hoodIumiRm or crime. Tt was also very noticeable that there were seen on the streets fewer drunken persons than is generally the case on such holiday oc- 0aRi0nR.
 The morning mass at the Catholic Church was largely attened and the excellent musical program which had been arranged for the occasion added greatly to the impressive service which was conducted by Father Msdden The serv'Ues ct the other churches were also largely attended and the day puss- cd off quietly and peacefully.
 Tha majority of rlaces of business closed their doors cariy during the day and gave the clerks of the various establishments q holiday. Those stores which kept open during the morning closed their doors at i2 o'clock. The saloons Of the city also closed their aooIs at i2 c'cl0ck and the business of the Pitv was suspended
