Christmas Generally Observed.

From all indications, and judging from the statements of merchants and dealers in the various holiday lines, business in Little Rock during the holi- day season was rushing" Beginning with last Saturday the stringency in the money market was forgotten, and the streets were crowded with Christ mas shoppers, loaded down with mys- terious bundles of various sizes. We'll dressed women, wrapped in furs, rubbed elbows with the little waifs of the streets who enjoyed the windows, and whose longing looks sometimes attracted "Milady of the Furs," and the little waifs would also be loaded with some of the things that mean Christ mas for the more fortunate child. The poor, too, who are always to be found in plentiful numbers, in the larger cities were bountifully remembered, and if single individual was forgot ten at this season of good cheer" it was not the fault of the liberal minded citizens of the capital city. Five hundred of the poor people, both black and white, were clothed by one of the leading firms of Little Rock, the only requisite needed for obtain ing all the clothing needed being rec ommendation from some representa- tive of a charitable organization in order to prevent those who were not needy from taking advantage of the opportunity to get clothes free. In this large establishment several clerks were kept busy helping to fit the chil- dren in new clothes, while the older ones were allowed to go through the great piles of clothing and pick out what they wanted. No one was denied anything. Whatever he found that he needed was given him. Many were equipped in new clothes from head to foot. The Salvation Army, too, was busy during the day and it is esti- mated that between 1000 and 2,500 people were made happy by a Christ mas dinner. Standing around two long tables loaded with good things to .eat, which were three different times filled, hungry people, mostly men, en- joyed taste of the yiands which were at the same time bedecking the tables of the rich. The women and children were reached by well-filled baskets, three hundred being sent out. The lit tie children were remembered in oth- CT ways, the Elks at their hall having provided Christmas tree from which none were debarred. Each child was given candy and fruit, besides pres ent. An orchestra was also in atten- dance to.provide music for the little guests. Little Rock in providing for the .happfnrsg of the destitute has been fully repaid in one of the most prosperous seasons within her history along all avenue of business, and feels secure in the prospects for the future.

Postmistress Luce desires to
call attention to the practice OF
some patrons Of rural delivery OF
placing loose coins in their boxes
each time they desire to dis
patchletters instead of supplying
themselves with postage in ad.
vance of their needs.
This practice imposes undue
hardship on rural carriers in re.
moving loose coins from boxes
and delays then on the service
of their routes.
It is, therefore, urgently re.
quested that patrons of rural de
livery provide themselves and
keep on hand a supply of stamps
consistent with and in advance Of
their needs. 1t is also very de-
sirable that rural patrons place
in their mail boxes small detach.

Time Nearly Up.

The time is nearly up when it
will be necessary for all sub
scribers on our list to be paid-up
and in advance if they expect to
continue to get the paper. All

hands Of a collector. 1t is not
our choice, but the post-ofice de-
partment, says, that we must af-
fix a one cent stamp to all papers
not paid in advance, so it is up to
the subscriber if he wishes the

up the label on your paper and
see how you stand. If it is not
right come in and have it correct

Sokatz has been pardoned by Gov.
Harris. He entered the penitentlary
the first time In 1895 on ten.year
sentence for manslaughter, being sent

he consented to return and serve out
the balance of his sentence. His re-
quest was granted and alone he came
TO Columbus and appeared at the pen

until 1912. The character of his viola.
tion of the parole, which was In order
that he might obtain work, and the
fact that he is now law abiding cit

pardon was granted.
