Any good school that has fifty
students brings more business,
more money, more of everything
good to a community than a a
loon can possibly do.
Not only those directly connect.
ed with the schools, therefore, but
citizens at large ought to rise up
to save their educational interests
by voting out the saloon.
Both are not going to continue
Gourishing, for the people with
children to educate will not stand
for it.
AS the year goes on, the Issue,
true to it's purpose of serving the
people in this warfare against the
saloon, will give a list of schools
in dry towns and also those where
the people prefer the saloon reve-
nue. to the hard earned but honest
dollars of parents who have boys
and girls to educate.-Mo. Issue.

THE PASSING THROAc

Tn my opinion the most selfish talk have heard recently" said a respect eJ citizen yesterday. "is that of the cynic who is now ready to abolish Christmas giving. He thinks 1t is Q bane and a pernicious practice. He believes 1t loses friends instead of making them. There Is never to his mind an exact reciprocity In the busi- ness of gtving--yess business of glv- ing is the way he puts tt.
 "Yet this same quitter is ready to accept presents. And he may oc- casionalIy give one in imitation Of the spirit of the day. But the pity of him is his talk against the charity of Christmas, He has advanced to the age of thirty-and the ladies will rightly guess that he is bachelor and now condemns the established cus- toms of centuries. He inveighs against these customs with the vigor of Phil- lips against slavery, and Is almost ready to pronounce it a curse. Doing all this raving after he has gotten the juice out of the 'business.s He was a child,s but now is old and skeptical. He would not extend tho same heaven ly privileges and thoughts to the child ref1 of today. that he perhaps enjoyed in abundance. He is not natural---he Is narrow, too narrow to imagine and place himself where he himself was only a span of years before. To the woods with that sort of thenl--down with the whole bunch"

 Progressive LuncheoR.
 Thirty guests enjoyed one of the prettiest events of the month, a pTo- Kressive luncheon given by Miss Lucy TsrugE at her home this afternoon. It was a Christmas party with all the richness of color found in the holly and bamboo vines and the decorations of the Christmas tree. Combined with the holly and mistletoe were big Christ mas bells in both the drawing and din> inx rooms where the seven tables were placed for the luncheon. On each table was a tiny decorated christmas tree, while in the hall was a big tree spark- ling with many varl-colored tapers. irridescant balls and ropea of tinsel. From a big tinsel rack In the hall the guests drew their place cards. Throughout the several courses of the luncheon the Christmas idea was sug- gested, ending with the proverbiat plum pudding, little individual pud- dIngs each burning brightly when served. It was a very attractive party full of the spirit and gayety Of the vuIa season and presided over by one of the very loveilest of the young girls in the social set. She was most becomingIy gowned in rose cloth, made ernpire. Her guests today were: Miss May Collins Miss Sadie Hayes. AGrs. Lyman Berry. Misses Daisy WatkfnsA Laura Mel Towers. Lucy Downey.

Former Governor William D. Jelks is in Montgomery on brief business trip having come down from Birming- ham Sunday. The former governors friends throughout Alabama will be in- terested in the fact that his business enterprises, the insurance company which he organized and of which he IS the head, is an unqualified success. It's prosperity grows steadily. The editors of weekly papers over Ala bama are willing to concede that any man who can make a fortune out of weekly paper can easily pile up a surplus in the treasury or succeed in directing an insurance company. The former governors success with his new business therefore comes to them as no surprise.
 He Is enjoying excellent health.
