CHRISTMAs REsrIrAf.

E..A4H ~
The Baptist church held their
Christmas entertainment and SOCIAL
on christmas eve. While there had
been no special effort in any way to
: make of this anything greater than a
religious social II had this peculiar
tendency to draw together more
closely in the work of Christian love
Of bringing up the children in the
nurture and admonition of the Lord.
The Following program was carried
&out, opening of entertainment in
prayer by Deacon Green; recitation
by Blanche Reed, entitled "Phoebe'a
Christmas Tree; recitation by Ha1t |
Compton, Don't Hurry Christmas; y
song by Evelyn Cassidy and Florence
Peterson; recitation by Florence and
Alice Edwards; dialogue between
Santa Claus, who appeared upon
the scene and the school, Santa asks
ing the school some very pointed
questions on why we celebrated
Christmas, and was answered very
intelligently by many of the scholars.
AT the conclusion of the dialogue
8 Santa proceeded, with the assistance
of others, to distribute the presents
z with, which the Christmas tree was
adorned, the pastor being remember-
ed byhfsi Congregation, being present
ed with a box in a neat speech by
Deacon Green saying this was a pre-
sentation of remembrance to the
pastor, the contents Of the box being
pieces Of gold amounting to $22.50,
after which every person in the aud
fence was treated to ice cream. This
Christmas gathering will long be re-
membered by the audience. h con-
genial loving Christian spirit exhib-
tied by every one seemed to vie with
each other in making others happy.

BUSINESS MEN TO ORGANIZE.
Merchants in Calumet Region &c
Form an Association.

The business men of Lake county
are soon To organize what is to be
known as the Calumet Business
mems association. The significance
TO this may be appreciated when il
is known that the primary purpose
Of this organization will be TO Sc
epre the cooperation OF the leading
men of affairs In all of the cities
Of the Calumet region and g en-
courage them to work tremendously
together for the industrial advance
ment Of the whole northern part of
Lake county.
1t is proposed to hold banquet in
the near future at which all of the
leading business men OF the northern
part of the county will be in attend
ance Here discussion OF the in
dustrial situation will take place
and plans will be made to provide
some permanent organization which
will afford its members the oppor-
tunity Of meeting each month to
discuss any plan that mny be pre-
scented for consideration.
One of the most prominent bust
ness men and land owners in Indf-
ana Harbor started the movement
and it has received the cordial en-
dorsement of Hammond business men
,x-i+bo,t oS-caDtfou
Mr.. Mailing OF the East Chicago
Land company said in regard to
the plan: The people of the Calumet
region should no longer consider
their cities independent communities.
In the larger sense it makes no diff
ference whether factories are built
in one of these cities or the other.
Their interests are identical and
what bene fits one, benefits all"
There is no section in the whole
country where outside capital is do
ing so much for the industrial ad
vancement of a community and the
Calumet region has an opportunity
that its business men should prove
themselves worthy of.
