Christmas at No. q.

Superintendent Harrison, Steward
Tuttlc and the Matron, Mrs. Grey,
combined with the efficient force under
them to make Christmas an ENJOYABLE
occasion to the patients of State Hos
pltal No. 4. Christmas Eve large
Christmas tree was decorated in Enter
tainmcnt Hall, and several hundred
of the patients and attendants enioyed
the entertainment arranged for them,
consisting of music, dancing and the
distribution of presents.
Christmas day splendid dinner was
prepared for the patients. For this
occasion siNty-siN roasted turkeys with
all the accompanying viands were
spread in the spacious dining room.
DR.. Harrison also extended an invita-.
ton to the officers of the institution not
living at the hospital, and n splendid
dinner was spread for them in the
officers dining room. 1t was a large
undertaking, but the efficient people
having in charge its details were equal
to the occasion and the whole affair
spoke volumes for the care and con-
sideration of the management for those
placed in their charge.

oldest in the State, having been insti-
luted in 1850, and many of its mem.

accounts for the comparatively small

GOOD NEWS FROM LEAD BELT
Report That the Lead Companies Will
Resume Wors on Practically Full
lime.

We understand that the st. Joseph
aud Doe Run Lead Companies have
disposed of the large surplus of pig
lead which they had stored at Hercu-
lancum, and that they will again begin
work on full time, probably with the
beginning OF the New Year. This is
encouraging news for the miners and
business men OF the Lead Belt, and
removes the gloomy outlook for the
winter that has been depressing them
for several weeks. There is re-.
port that the Federal Lead Company
will also resume operations soon. We
sincerely hope, for the sake Of the
companies and the thousands that are
depending upon them, that they will
see their way clear to carry out the
proposed arrangements, which We feel
sure they will do il it is possible.

hoothart College Entertainment and
Box Supper Grand Success.

On last Thursday evening the stu.
dents and friends Of the Moothart Bus.
lness College met and spent very
pleasant aud profitable evening. The
entertainment feature started with a
reading entitled, GLOW My Mother
Made Mince Pies by Van Cloud.
The rendition Of this was especially
commcndable aud certainly well re-
ceived by the large audience present.
The next was typewritirg contest,
the contestants being Misses Olive,

The nexI was an unique exhibition
OF blnd-told shorthand writing, being
successfully demonstrated by Misses

was given to prove the simplicity of
our Gregg system Of sIenography.
Following, there was another type
writing contest by the more advanced
students, the contestants being Messrs.
Edward Cunningham aud George
Trauernicht and Miss Pearl Shannon.
Miss Shannon wrote 229 words in three
minutes, winning the contest. Ii may
be mentioned with propriely that Miss
Shannon is quite young, only fourteen
years of age, but is doing successfully
the work in both the bookkeeping and
shorthand departments.
The audience was next favored with
an "old-time cyphering match" 10
which most of the students were con-

An epitsph Used BY Marx IWain.

Mistaken reference is so often mad,
to what is termed the "epilaph writer
by Mark Twain for his wife," that Il
is worth while to set the matter
straight
The cpitaph referred to was mol
placed upon the tombstone of Mr.
Clemens wife, but upon that of hi,
daughter, Susie. 1t was not original
with Mark Twain, but was .tnken by
him from a little poem written some
fifteen years ago by an Australian poet
named Robert Richardson. 1t ap-
peared in book OF poems by Richard
son, which was published in Edinburg,
in 1898, under the title of Willow and
WattlCs
The verse used as the cpitaph is as
follows:
Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light,
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night"
The verse has so often been referred
to as being Mark Twain's own compo-
sition that he has recently had the
name of the actual author of it carved
upon the stone.

The factory was started up here a few
years ago after number OF our busi-
ness men Clipped iu and purchased
the old woolen mill building, built an
addition to it and gave years rent

Mr.. Logan, the manager, who has
charge of the factory, says the cause of
the close down was brought on by the

INTERESTING LOCAL Pick UPS QUICKLY TOLD.

The entertainment at ElmwoOd
Seminary last Thursday night was a
decided success both 10 its entertain

spirit All kinds OF people brought
gifts TO Santa Claus. who was repre-.
seDIad by Van Cloud in fine style,
from little Brownies, fairies, breakfast
food people, the people from SpollesS
town and Red Cross nurses. The
little play was full OF pretty music and
the childred entered heartily iLto the
spirit of the occasion.
Superintendent Clay Of the Christian
Sunday school announced last Sunda,
morning that in addition to the cxcr.
cises and distribution Of candies, etc. .
to the children Christmes Eve, that
donations Of all kinds for The deserving
needy, to be sent to Flat River, would
be received In response to this sug
gestion number of boxes of second
hand clothing, Of mems, womcns aud
children's apparel, provisions and other
articles were received. These were sent
to Mrs. Griffin who, with other ladies Of
the Christian church at Flat River, will
see hat they are properly distributed.
What's the trouble that the
Board of Aldermen doesn't make
some arrangement with the EIec.
tric Light Plant for lighting the
streetsl We know there is a De.
tltion before the board asking that
an election he called to submit to
the voters proposition to bond
the city still further to put in n
municipal lighting plant. But
If that is not impracticable, and
If the proposition should carry, it
would be couple of months before
the election could be held, then at
least a year before the bonds could
be negotiated and the plant erected
and put in operation. Are we TO
be without street lights all that
timer The entering into contract
with the Electric Light Plant for a
year wouldn't interfere with the
holding of the election if the board
should decide to call one, nor the
erection of II city lighting plant if
the proposition should carry.
which is very doubtful.

A BRILLIANT RECEPTION.
Given to University Community by
the Baptist Young People.

On Friday night the Baptist Young
People OF the First Baptist church
rendered 70 the faculty and student
body Of the University of Florida one
OF the most brilliant and successful
receptions ever given By the young
people Of the city. The large and
comfortable home Of the pastor, Rev.
S. B. Rogers. was rendered the young
people for this occasion, and they
carefully attended to every detail that
could possibly add to the success of
the function.
The two large halls of the home.
together with four large rooms, all
communicating easily with each other,
had been beautifully decorated with
golden rod, sunfiowers. roses, ferns
and pot plants until the whole looked
bower of beauty. The University
colors were used for drapery, and the
refreshments largely carried out, the
color scheme. The beautiful lawn
which completely surrounds the home,
by means of lawn swings and settees,
had been converted into perfect park,
with japanese lanterns profusely and
artistically hung everywhere.
The University young men, together
with the Baraca class Of the NJ. f..
church, and many OF the young men
and women of the town who were so
! fortunate as TO receive an invitation
from some Of the young people of the
! church. were all met at the door by
! a committee with especially prepared
cards, bearing the date and carrying
the colors of the University, upon
which they were each requested to
write their name, pin it upon their
shoulder and take charge OF the
home-thus they were introduced
each to the other. They thronged the
home until 40 had been labeled, and
the home and lawn were living mass
of people and fun.
Many beautiful selections were rem
dered upon the piano, while Miss Mae
Mixson and Miss Ruth Scarratt
served the most delightful fruit punch
from cosy corners, where large cut
glass bowls seemed perpetual foun
tains of eternal youth. From these
the guests were conducted to the
large dining.rOom where, amid bower:
of ferns and flowers, a few married
