Message of Jesus.
At this Christmas time, when our
thoughts again turn to the meaning
of Christ's coming, tmight not be
amiss to re-affirm the true mes
sage of Jesus His very coming in
dicates it's spirit. 1t was because
Christ GAVE Himself, that the
world acknowledges Him as it's
King. 1t was sacrifice and self
forgetfulness that brought devo-
ton.
The Great Question.
The greatest question is not Are
you saved?" but lis your Brother
saved?" Again and again does
Christ bring out the true spirit of
the gospel as it is indicated in that
striking PASSAGE:
"He that saveth his life shall lose
It, and he that lOseth his life for
my sake, shall find it,
And what is it to lose ones life
for Christ's sake? Quick and clear
comes the answer from Christ Him.

:s.Inasmuch as We have done it un-
to one of the least of these, my
brethren, ye have done 1T unto me. -
A Noble Example.

Here it is, then, the spirit OF
Christmas wrapped up in the
welfare of your brother, that you
soul becomes one with his, and in
his salvation, you find your own.

Special TO the Herald.
Atlanta. Ca, Dec. 21.-The coming
week will be Atlanta's last as a
wet" or anti-prohibition city. With
the first Of the year the state prohibit
ton law will come into operation and
the various saloons and liquor houses
viii close their doors and pass into
history. From present indications
the stock of every liquor dealer will
be sold out before the clock strikes
the midnight hour on December 81.
With the Sahara-like prospect loom
ing up before them saloon patrons are
sending in anticipative orders to be
delivered on the last days OF the
month. The saloon men expect the
annual Christmas sales to be only
small factor compared to the large
orders that viii be booked during the
remaining days OF grace. It is re-
ported that some of the prominent
liquor dealers have found it necessary
to hire additional help to ship the or
ders to points throughout the state.
while an extra number Of delivery
wagons is required for the city trade
All arrangements. with only a few
exceptions. have been made for the
closing OF the buildings as whiskey
establishments and their renting for
other Duruospg The success of the
real estate men in letting the prem
ises for other lines Of trade is very
gratifying to the prohibition forces
and equally disconcertinE to those
who have contended that prohibition
would injure the general business Of
the city. It now looks as If all the
buildings will have tenants ready to
move IN the first Of the year.

For Railroad Commissioner.

Mr.. Med. Ferguson, of La Center,
Ballard county, was in Hartford yes
terday, mingling among the voters.
Mr.. Ferguson is a candidate for re-
election as Railroad Commissioners
from this (the first Railroad Com
missioner's District, subject to the
action of the Democratic party. The
District convention to make a nomi-
nation for this office occurs at Hen
derson, May 81. County mass con-
ventions at O'Clock on the afternoon
of May IS.
Mr.. Ferguson is serving his first
term and feels that he will be better
qualified by his experience gained
during this first term to serve the
public again. This Railroad Commits
sion has heard hundreds of complaints
and reduced freight rates thousands
of dollars. They have increased the
assessment of the tangible property
of railroads, and railroad bridges,
since Mr.. Ferguson has been on the
Commission, from fifty-two to nearly
sixty -four million dollars, an increase
of nearly twelve million dollars. which
adds to the State revenue nearly $780,
900; besides what is added to the
revenues of the counties, incorporated
TOWNS citias and school districts
The most important order made by
theCommission since Mr.Ferguson has
been a member, is that in which they
reduced the freight rates on all classes
OF freight twenty-five per cent. Three
days before this order was to go in
to effect each member Of the Com
mission was visited by U. S. Mar
shall and enjoined in the FederalCourt
from enforcing the order. This case
is now in the u. s. Courts, but Mr..
Ferguson believes that in a short time
It will be decided in favor of the ship
pers.
There Is no office which is of more
vital Importance to the shippers and
taxpayers than that of Railroad Com
missioner, and Mr.. Ferguson's record
Is certainly one to be proud of, and
he is only asking for that which has
been given to every other man who
ever held this office-an endorsement.

died at the home of her parents
here, Mr.. and Mrs. l.. P. Fulkerson,
March 5, 1907, of typhoid fever and
pneumonia, aged 20 years. She had
been sick about four weeks. All that
loving hands and medical aid could
do was done, but to no avail She
leaves a heartbroken mother, father,
one brother and a host of relatives
and friends to mourn her loss. Her
remains were laid to rest on the fol-
lowing day, after funeral services
conducted by Rev. w. A. Grant, in
the Ceralvo burying ground, in the
presence of a large crowd of sorrow
ing people. May Gods grace sustain
the heartbroken family. The sweet

Mr.. Landrum' Smith has purchased

Miss Annie Thompson, who was
called here from Greensboro to nurse
Mrs. Mamie Chinn, arrived too late to
render any service to her patient, as
Mrs. Chinn died about two hours be-
fore Miss Thompson reached here.
On March 5, 1907, at o'clock p.
m. Mamie Margaret Chinn departed
this life at the home OF her father.
Mr.. Abb Chapman, near Broadway.
Mrs. Chinn, until IL days before, her
death, was in apparently good health.
No death that has ever occurred in
our midst could have brought greater
sorrow or bereavement to relatives
and enlisted the sympathy of friends
and the people generally more than
the death of Mamie. To say that her
friends were many would hardly con-
vey a correct idea, because they were
numbered by her acquaintance, and on
the day of her burial it was evident
that all who knew her sadly mourned
her loss. Mamie joined the church
under the ministry of Rev. Hiram
Brown and united with the Baptist
church at the age of u and was a
Jealous christian until her death
Many acts of charity and coincidence
performed by her during her short life
were indicative of true christian
spirit. To the husband, bowed down
with sorrow and grief that may seem
greater than he can endure, and to
the bereaved father and family, who
mourn for their daughter and sister.
We would say look up and put your
trust in the same Christ whom Nan
ME loved and served. and some day
you will again meet her around the
throne of God, where parting is un-
known.
