XMAS EXERCISES
AT Owen Church Well Attended
in Spite of InClement
Weather.

In spite of the very inclement
weather, Owen Church was nearly fill
ed with people who came to witness
the Christmas program given by the
children of the Sunday School Friday
night, under charge of Miss Grace
Thomas. The decorations were very
pretty, holly was used lavishly, Christ
mas bells hung over the platform, and
SAl was in harmony with the spirit of
the season.
The children occupied three seats on
the right side of the platform, while
upon the right was erected Christ
mas Log Cabin, from which Santa
Claus appeared later in the evening
bringing with him gifts for the
"good" children of the Sunday School,
and as all Sunday School children are
good, none we're forgotten. The
christmas Log Cabin was made of
Stats, covered with paper painted to
represent the ''real thing, and cover
ed with cotton batting "snow'.
The exercises opened with prayer by
Rev. q. O. Gannoway, after which
the song, Hail the Sun of Right
eousness', was nicely rendered by the
children. Then followed recuations
by couple of the smallest members of
the Sunday School, Marie Smith and
Lucille Fagg; and the recitation,
Happy Christmas in which four
teen boys and girls appeared. The
song, Lowing Little Jesus, was act
ed in pantomime by three little girls,
while the words were softly sung. Re-
citations by Gladys Fagg and Robert
Blanton were next in ORDER followed
by the song, wherever There is Glad
ness by the Children, and Elizabeth
Deakins recited. A drill by seven
girls came next and recitations by Jes-
sic Owens, Dora Pryor, Briddie Mar
tin, Robert Barnett and Fannie Cop
ninger, after which Loving Hearts
for Jesus was prettily rendered by six
girls The children followed with a
chorus, "A Merry Chime after
which Eliza Martin and Jacob BIanton
recited. "The Calendar for Decem
ber'', by 81, who appeared in success
sion until the entire month was repre-
sented upon the stage, was an excel
lent feature Recitations BY Sallie
Martin, Chas. Fultz, Lena Lasater,
Harvey Smith and Lester Smith clos
ed the program, which had to be
somewhat curtailed on account of the
absence of several of the children.
Mr. W. S. Pryor, who had acted as
Master of Ceremonies, after expressing
his belief in 'Santa Claus, or the
spirit OF. love which infests, or should
infest the Christmastide, anLounced
that Sausa was in Sequachee, and not
only IN Sequachee but in Owen
Church, and that he would presently
make himself known. Immediately
after Santa appeared from the top Of
the chimney of the LOG Cabin, and
after few looks around to see who
was there, descended and emerged
from the Cabin bringing with hin
boxes filled with presents for the mem
bers OF the Sunday School, which were
distributed as quickly as possible by
Santa, aided by several young ladie,
and children. With this the evening
entertainment closed.

III Health More Expensive Than Any Cure

This country is now filled with peo
pie who migrate across the continent
in all directions, seeking that which
gold cannot buy. Nine-tentbs of them
are suffering from throat and lung
trouble or chronic catarrh, resulting
from neglected colds, and spending for
tunes vainly trying to regain lost
health. Could every sufferer but un-
do the past and cure that first neg
lected cold, all this sorrow, pain, anx-
iety and expense could have been
avoided. Chamberlain's Cough Rene
dy is famous for its cures of colds,
and can always be depended upon.
Use it and the more serious diseases
may be avoided. For sale by Whit.

A New Years Card

A word of cheer
To herald in another year:
May all its days be free of blame
A little nobler than your aim;
May all its labors be contest

A little brighter than your hope;
And may each year be found, when
past,
A little dearer than the last.
