Christmas Tree
at Horse Shoe

.Ff $50 49,
Christmas Tide has taken its place il
the store-house of the past, and now ex
lists only in memory. II seems that th'
entire laboratory of pleasure was open
ed unto the writer during the past holi
days. In it were found such pleasures
as will cause their memory to ever.re-
main fresh and green. But chiefest
among these pleasures was the Wit to the
Christmas Tree at Horse Shoe Chapel
on the night Of Christmas Eve.
The church was very tastefully decor
ated with holly and cedar. On either
side OF the pulpit stood . beautiful holly
tree decorated with tiny, ma~ny-colored
glass spheres, colored candles, etc. Each
tree was loaded with presents until it
stood under its burden with bowed head
and branches, Children lads with
their lasses. maids, both young and old,
also a few bachelors, alloame to see and
receive their presents. Before the pro-
gramme was begun at T:20 O'Clock, all
the seats were occupied,
The programme for the evening was
indeed q Christmas programme and was
thoroughly prepared. 1t consisted of
Christmas Rotations by the children,
and selected Christmas music by the
choir The pastor, Mr.. williams. who
has travelled extensively in the Holy
Land gave an interesting talk on the
manger in which Christ was born. His
having seen the manger, made lis talk
very impressive to the audience.
After the talk of Mr. Williams, the
Horse Shoe mixed quartette, with Miss
oallie Morgan at the organ, rendered 8
piece of music which deserves special
mention. "Colne unto me" was the
piece. The p.t,nbers Of the q~uartette
we're Miss SUI Cannon, soprano, Miss
Nora Morgan alto, Mr.. Neill Osborne,
tenor and Mr Henry Allen, bass.
The candles On the trses were then
lighted and the presents were soon
taken from the Q and handed out to
the receivers. The audience was dis
-
missed and all ven away feeling deep
down in their hearts that it was good to
be there md wishing that every night
could be Christmas Eve night.
Indeed, the entire programme vas a
success from beginning to finch. I
understand that the success of the oc-
casion VAS mainly due to the faithful
work and interest of Misses Callie and
Nora Morgan and Miss Sue Cannon.
I know that l voice the sentiment Of all
those present when 1 say that We enjoy
ed the occasion immensely And
through the Hustler, 1 wish to congrat
ulate these young ladies upon the bright
success with which their labors was
crowned. A VISITOR.

ton.

The several Masonic orders of this
city, including the Eastern Star, held
a public installation in the Masonic
hall Tuesday night. About one hun
dred and fifty members and friend S
were present and enjoyed the exercis-
es The program began at eight
O'Clock, when the various officers of
the Eastern Star were duly initiated
into their respective Offices. This
ceremony was very pleasing and in
dictated thorough preparation of and
familiarity with the work, on the paat
Of the ladies.
After a brief intermission work was
opened in the Blue Lodge and their
officers duly initiated into their re-
spective positions.
10 order that the exercises of the ev-
ening might not be prolonged to toe
late an hour, the Royal Arch Masons
had previously installed their officers.
The last Installation of the evening
was that of the Knights Templar.
Their exercises we're pleasing alike to
the eye and to the mind. The beauti-
tul lessons of brotherly love and piety
inculcated in their initiation, will
long be remembered not only by the
several officers, but by the spectators
as we'll.
Following the exercises in the upper
room, came the banquet, which is al
ways an important feature in such
affairs. The ladies of the Methodist
church served it in the Masonic ban
quet hall, which they had beautifully
decorated for the occasion. Sand
wiches. pickles, chocolate, coffee, ice
cream and cake were served in abund-
ance to all corners. The numerous
guests seated at the long tables, beau
beautifully decorated with wreaths of
ivy on snowy linen, ENJOYING the hos
FATALITIES of the occasion, presented a
most pleasing picture.
Much praise is due the ladies who
served the supper, for the tasty ar
rangement and excellence of the SER
vice.

The Last Call.

This is the last time the Journal
will have a chance to call your atten.
ton to that all-important question of
paying your poll tax. Before anoth-
er issue, the time for paying poll tax
and retaining you- citizenship will
have passed, and he who has missed
this important matter will be no better
than the beast, so far as exercising an
influence in the affairs of his govern
ment, both local and national, is con-
cerned. 1t is useless to impress upon
the mind, the duty which every citizen
owes to his state to retain his fran.
chise and exercise his privilege as a
voter. This is IL matter that is known
to every citizen, and yet many will
neglect that allimportant matter of
paving their dollar, SO as to retain
this privilege. Remember. if YOU
have not paid Your poll tax for the
year 1908. you will lose your franchise
if you do not attend to this matter
before next Thursday ends.
