Christmas passed off very quietly
in jackson. The only public festival
was in the M. b. church Christmas
eve. The practice of late years has
been to have family trees in the
respective families and this method
OF pleasing the children was followed
to as large an extent as any year. We
have not heard of a little one in
town who was ignored by Santa
Claus. The business places did fairly
we'll, considering the existing depres-
sion. Most of the stores sent out
calenders for 1908 to their customers !;
some of them we're on a more elabor
ate scale than heretofore seen in this
| place.
