The finest thoughts and the nobles acts born of the Christmas spirit The Christmas spirit the kind of philosophy the kind of morality the kind of religion that the whole wide world knows understands and be- lieves It is the sum total of all the kindness the hu manty and the affection that the Creator implanted in the heart of mankind
 There may be disputes to its origin and questions as it's development but there is no dispute existing that Christmas means giving-not necessarily the giving of expensive gfs but the giving of ones self to others the pouring out of ones heart for ones feowman. Nat uray there must be something to show that gv ing There must be tangible proof that do give to others smile, handclasp, word, are splendid but we must go farther than that there must be something given that shows that have gone out of our way sac rced our personal comfort convenience overlooked our own wishes for the beterment the upft the hap pness of some many The gift that costs nothing in time effort sacrifice and love amounts to nothing either to the giver the recipient.
 The presents that have with them large portions of affection thought good will sacrifice and fitness bring ten fold blessing They make happiness for both and they build up the real things in our lives
 There will be hundreds in city who will have no real Christmas They will not be poor in material things Many will be among surroundings of luxury As mat ter of fact the of those who fall outside the pale o the Christmas idea plenty and to spare of things to
 
 You may not know many, we may not know many, who won't have Christmas; but we all know some whose lives be made brighter Then, because it is not always possible the heavy heart. If we lose no opportunity to carry this Christmas spirit into the lives of all we come in touch with there will be few who will not have the joy of the Christmas time
 You may have thought you would not give anything to this one or that Are you there may not be heartache there that your thoughtfuness might take away? You may have said "Im going to be econom- ical this year. and not do much as did last year. Is that real economy? When you think that economy really means getting the most possible out of everything including your life, would that be real economy?
 The time is short till the great day. but there is re- maining enough tme so that, if all of us will do our part there will not be disappointed one anywhere on Christmas morning.

At least 10000 people witnessed the
lynching. James was found with Sher-
iff Davis between Karnak. H., and
Balnap, by the crowd from Cairo.
The officers were overpowered. the
negro captured. and. after a conference.
it was decided to bring him to Cairo
and lynch him here.
Fully 1000 people went in search of
the negro. When they returned they
were met by a bowling mob of at lea st
5000 more. They marched direct to the
arch. sweeping everything before them.
Many women were out to help do the
work
Sheriff Davis pleaded for the life of
the negro. but without avail. and when
Cairo was reached Davis was taken in
charge by a part OF the mob, while
the rest rushed the negro to the scene
of action.
When found by the mob the negro
was handcuffed between two officers.
All were hiding on the bank of a
creek: All three were so weak from
hunger and exposure that they were
unable to offer much resistance.

own room, when it dropped from his
hands In his efforts to extinguish the
blaze the burning oil spread to his
clothing and in moment the man
was enveloped in flames. He fought in
a frenzy of suffering, but without avail.
The flames, ,flicking their way around
the room, were seen by the policemen
nearly half mile away. They dug
the spurs into their mounts, scram-
bIed up to a railroad track and gal
Ioped blindly through the dark. Ar
riving ct the burning house they were
confronted with drop of 10 feet. For
an instant they hesftated, but hearing
the maddened cries of Barry from
within they took the jump, both horses
landing in duck pond Dismounting,
they waded through the pond and ham :
mered in the door. sstsft
Their first thought was for. Barry.
They smothered his burning clothing
with blankets and. removing him outl
side, tore their, way through the smoke
and flames to the room where Nthe chill
dren, wide eyed and lsobbing with fear.
were huddled. Gathering them. in their
arms the plucky policemen rushed
them outside
Their work did not stop. Without any
waste of time they proceeded to put
out the fire. They fought it with buck
cts and blankets, soon stamping it
out. s
Then. extricating their kicking
the nearest telephone for the ambu-
lance and the other. with the children
clustered around him, sought a neigh
bor's house, where the tots were given
shelter.
Barry was removed to the central
emergency hospital, but is not expected
TO live. The brave and prompt actions
of the policemen drew them high praise
from their officers.
