sordid side--a time when the
thoughts should be turned towards
home-a time when the usurping
chains of business should be ignored.
A time when the child with it's gol-
den curls. the man with his sllvered
locks, alike cry GLORY to God in the
highest, peace on earth, good will to
men" These words have been chant
ed by all Christian nations since the
infant Jesus slept in the rude nlanger
in Bethlehem. The organs in the
grand cathedrals have pealed forth
these words and the hearts OF the
worshipers have been filled with ador-
alton; those treading the flowerless
paths of poverty echo the praises. The
poor mother in the hovel as she bends
over the smouldering embers upon the
desolate hearth, and weeps over the
empty stockings of her neglected chill
dren--eTen she hears these strains in
the distance, and her plaintive voice,
so full Of want, joins in the chorus,
GLORY to God in the highest" Per-
haps this mother is thinking of the
Christmas days in her girlhood when
plenty crowned the board, and these
memories may be feeding her hungry
heart. Theologians may cavil over the
date and origin of this day, but we
will hold fast to our Christmas.

DISTRESSING Loss by Fire.

Mrs. Florence Allen, widow of Kit
Allen, deceased, living about four
miles north of Hartford on the Hart
ford and Sulphur Springs road, lost
her residence and most all of its con-
tents by fire, last Monday morning
at 4:30 o'clock Loss on house and
contents about $500. No insurance.
The fire is supposed to have caught
from the fireplace in the kitchen and
was under such Roadway when first
discovered that the family had to
make their escape in their night
clothes. The only things saved were
an organ, sewing machine and two
feather beds which were taken out in
the hurried exit. Mrs. Allen was burn
ed about the head and face, most all
Of her hair being burned off. Er. g.
w. Ford was sent for and dressed
the burns and while they are very
painful, they are not thought TO be Sc
rious. The little daughter OF Mrs.
Florence Shahan, Henderson, who was
the widow of Thos. Allen, deceased,
was also badly burned. DR.. Z. B..
Peudleton vas called TO see the child
and reports her in a serious condi-
ton. Mrs. Shahan and little daughter
came up from Henderson Sunday to
sneud the holidays with relatives.

No more urgent matter will come
before the next General Assembly of
Kentucky than the placing of some
sort of emphasis upon the strict en-
forcement of the law in holding cleo
lions. 1t is true We already have laws
in this respect, but they seem lax or
ipnocuous They need amendment or
rehauling, or something TO make them
more effective. There is no more
important matter which touches the
liberty and rights of our citizenship
than the making way for the free, UNI
trammeled and unbought expression
of the ballot.

1t is hoped that the approaching
General Assembly of Kentucky will
take heed to the urgent needs Of the
hour and not indulge in useless and
uncalled-for legislation. AS a gener-
al thing, too many bills are offered
and in many instances too many bills
are passed. This useless legislation
is a burden upon the people and a
waste of good time Let the Assem-
bly, consider absolute public needs and
avoid these efforts which only in
crease the bulk and volume of our
statute books.

The case OF Mrs. Sarah E. Myers against
E. B, Gra.es. both9of Chesterfield county,
which has been pending for some time,
and which on last Thursday was heard
on its merits in the Circuit Court CT
Chesterfield, was finally decided by Judge
Clopton yesterday morning in favor Of
the defendant.
a lot owned by Mr.. Graves adjoins that
of Mrs. Myers, and the road opposite tho
latter's place is called Newbry's Bridge
Road, and that around the former. Broad
Rock Road. BY permission of Mr. Graves.
the Myers family was allowed to pass
from their lot into his, for the purpose
of travelling over the Broad Rock Road,
by a gate stationed at the adjoining point.
Passing through often. every member o.
the household, it is alleged, left the gate
standing open, with the result that MIR.
Gravess cattle entered the other lot and
scattered over the field This happened
several times, and the owner of the cattle
became so indignant that he locked the
gate, whereupon Mrs. Myers brought suit.
Counsel for Mr.. Graves We're Messrs. Err
nest II. Wells and Willis C. Pulliam. who
showed plainly that the only right tho
Myers family had to pass through the
gate was by permission of the defendant.
