cloudless sky and q temperature around
80, in great contrast with last Xmas,
when the thermometer was below zero.
Before light the small boy was In svi.

wore on, many well dressed women and
men and bright laced, happy children
were on the streets.
The Sunday School celebrations and
services at the churches were largely at
tended
The home coming and family reunions
were many.
The poor we've not forgotten and In
homes w here poverty reigns during the
year, there was cheer and happy iaces
Then came the browning feature OF
the day, Xmas dinner, around which
gathered the loved ones, many oil whom
meet only once a year. Ii was bright
and joyous Xmas, without accident to
mar the day.

Were:
/. Are YOU in favor OF the establish

?. Are you In favor of the issue by the
government Of emergency national bank
notes, with provision for their retire
ment when no longer needed in circula-
ton?
Judge A. W. Wallace, vice president OF
tho National Bank OF Fredericksburg,
answered:
70 numher |. No

lie thin gave his reasons ~ follows:
Fif-i-jccause experience has proved
that such bank in this country. where
al. financial questions Are decided by
popular vote, will be subject in its man
sgement to political passions md In

no hu.iuess. ana II il did business the

Tnlrr-The great territorial extent OF
The Unltad States makes IL impossible
for one central bank, even II it had
cufiensy always ready, to did distant
