QUIET CHRISTMAS DAY
SsaaeN hossss We're uoset sat Her.
fAsatS tajeyet Veil tsraet Rest.

Christmas day was quietly obser'
ed IN Waxahachie. All business
houses. the banks. mills and the
postoffice were closed and during Il
greater portion OF the day the streets
were practically deserted. The elev-
enta hour shoppers were out in fuli
force Tuesday afternoon and night,
and after strenuous day the mef-
chauts and their clerks were ready
to enjoy the rest afforded by the
holiday
The Christmas trees at the protes-
tau churches Tuesday night were in-
strumental in making hundreds of
children happy.
Wednesday morning a Christmas
service was held at ST. Joseph $
Catholic church.
There were many family Christ
mas trees Tuesday night and Christ
mas dinners and family reunions
were in order Wednesday.
For the first time in a number of
years no restriction was placed on
the discharge of fireworks in the
business section of the city and as Il
result Tuesday and Wednesday
nights were made hideous by the
booming of giant firecrackers No
accidents of any nature have been
reported, fact that is regarded as
a little short of miraculous consider
ing the promiscuous manner IN
which fireworks were discharged.
Business houses also escaped dam
age at the hands of the jewellers.

Gunner Moir and Tommy Burns have
arranged the last details for their
championship fight which is to be held
before the Na'ianal Sporting Club Of
London on Dec. =. The only point of
the arrangements that did not come up
to Tommy'5 idea of what they should
be was the question OF the gloves
which MUir was to use in the bout. and
the Gunner a. once consented to have
a pair made similar to those used by
Burns. Both fighters were then in
troduccd to Re members of the Ma
tional Sporting Club and Tommy gave
them Il short talk, of which the GiSt
was that he was present To see the old
country and give Moir a chance at the

club would give Lin a square deal. as
he would then he perfectly satisfied

Sporting men there say that he is by>far
the best English heavyweight since t.e

other heavy now i'll the ring. He has :
short neck, huge shoulders. a big. bony
head and jaw. great hairy arms ant
