bright and some dull, representing the

girl, were brought down to the News

proudly handed up through the count

1t was little girl very small, who
handed up her treasure. She had

wants to present with a pair Of legs

Her only request was to withhold

which carried away his feet, so
touched the little miss that she gave
up all her Christmas, too.

STANDARD OIL
GETTING BUSY
Have Begun Erection Of Eighteen-inch
Wall Around Their Plant, as Di-
rected by City Council.

In compliance with an order adopt
ed by the city council at its regular
December meeting, the standard Oil
Company has begun the erection OF an
eighteen-inch wall around it's plant in
this city, and before the week closes
the councils order will probably have
been carried out to the letter.
Some time ago the local manager OF
the Standard company was notified by
Fire Chief Potter that the company
was violating the city ordinance
against storing explosive oils within
the fire limits, and was notified that
the city would expect the company to
comply with the regulation. 1t ap-
peared, however, that the Standard
people were slow about obeying the
|citys ordinance, so the matter was
brought to the attention Of the city
council, and an order directing them
to build an eighteen-inch wall around
their plant was adopted.
From the prompt action taken by
the Standard company, it would seem
that they took the city's order seri-
ously, not desiring to complicate the
matter by a further refusal to come
across" and be good.
The order passed by the council pro-
vided for an eighteen-inch brick or
concrete wall and was designed for
the protection of property owners in
the vicinity of the plant.

Hattiesburg, Miss, Dec. 10, 1909.
Dear Santa Claus:
We are little girls, 3 and years
old. We are not going to ask for
much this Christmas. | only want
you to bring us both big doll and
both together tea set.
And we want doll trunk and
doll stove. Don't forget my fruits
and candies. We want some Roman
candles too.
Your little friends,
WILLIE HALL
and KATHERINE PHILLIPS.
