ELECTRA ITEMS

Special Cor. Ocala Banner:
The Union Sunday school had a
Christmas tree at the school house on
Thursday afternoon at o'clock,
which was a delight, not only to the
children. but to all present. The
house was prettily decorated and the
windows heavily draped and darken-
ed to shut out the light, and the room
was lighted with Japanese lanterns
and tapers. The tree was a pretty
holly, large and beautifully trimmed,
but as it could not hold all the hand
some presents, the large round table
on the rOsrum was draped with
moss, ferns and flowers, and loaded
with lovely chinaware. Lynne, Moss
Bluff and Electra were all represent
ed, and as there were so many pres
ents 10 be distributed Old Santa
Claus brought his wife, Nancy, aiOng
10 help him. She was d most homely
Old dame and dressed in a still more
hOmely gown, and, poor old soul. she
had been left at home so much she
seemed timid and abashed in the pres
ence Of such a crowd. But if Old
Santa had left her alone so much, and
neglected to dress her in such pretty
things as he so beautifully bestowed
upon others, he certainly hadn't starv-
ed her, for she was of enormous pro
portions. Old Santa never had been
so witty and jolly before l suppose
he enjoyed having Nancy along with
him. He certainly afforded much
amusement to all.
Our popular teacher, Miss McCar-
ley, returned to her home in Board

Me- YEAR

W. EAH
Welcome, thrice welcome, fair New
Year,
Our hearts, our hopes, We give TO
thee;
Fill all our hearts with earnest cheer,
Let all our nights untroubled be-
Bless us as now we waiting stand,
While joy-bells chime on either hand.
Be hopeful as you go through the
New Year. Do not allow yourself TO
believe that fortune has passed you
by. The road she travels is an end
less circle. She re-appears again and
again to the watchful and Observant
eye. If she has passed your door to-
day and knocked while you were sleep
ing, and you awOke to see her retreat
ing form down the roadway. do not
despair and say the opportunity of
your life has gone. Remember, it is
only one opportunity. Set yourself
about your business; keep busy, hope
full and expectant, and he sure to look
for the return trip Of fortune. Do
not expect her in the same gown and
bonnet this year. She loves new ap-
parel She is a woman. and fond Of
new effects. She also likes winning
smiles.
Winning smiles, like bright sunbeams,
Ger LIES darkest shadows CLEAN:
Loving words are water-lilies
Blooming on LIES troubled stream;
Loving thoughts are angel whispers;
Loving deeds will souls redeem.
During the New Year make up Your
mind also to let your cheerfuIness be
felt for good wherever you are, and
let your smiles be scattered like sun
beams ION the just as well as the I'M
just" Such a disposition will yield
rich reward, for its happy effects
will come home to you and brighten
your thoughts. Cheerfulness makes
the mind clear, gives tone to thought,
adds grace and beauty to the coun-
tenance.
Joubert says, when you give. give
with JOY, smiling" Smiles are little
things, but can make glad the New
Year. and are fraught with so many
blessings, both to the giver and the
receiver-pleasant little ripples to
watch as we stand on the shore of ev-
ery-day life. These are the higher
and better responses of nature to the
emotion Of the soul. Let the children
have the benefit of them-thOse little
ones who need the sunshine of the
heart to educate them, and would find
a level for their buOyant nature in the
cheerful. loving faces Of those who
need them. Let them not be kept
from the middle-aged, who need the
encouragement they bring. Give your
smiles also to the aged. They come
to them like the quiet rain of a sum-
mer making fresh and verdant the
long. weary path of life. They expect
them from those who are rejoicing in
the fullness of life. Remember dur
ing the New Year, 1909. there are ten
Things for which no one has ever vet
been sorry:
For doing good to all.
For speaking evil of none.
For hearing before Judging.
For thinking before speaking.
For holding an angry tongue.
For being kind TO the distressed.
For asking pardon for all wrongs.
For being patient toward everybody.
For stopping the ears TO a tale-bear-
er.
For disbeleying most of the evil
reports. WHITE ROSE.

Frequently some enthusiastic Demo
cratic editor or orator gives vent to
the expression: THE tariff bill will
wreck the Republican party"
All Democrats, who care aught for
their party or it's well-grounded princi-
pies, would be glad to see the predic-
ton come true; but there is another
thing in this tariff discussion that
gives much more concern to Democrats
than representations about wrecking
the Republican party-the fear that it
may seriously effect, it it does not de-
stroy the Democratic party.
With Democratic representatives and
senators playing fast and loose, trad
ing and trafficking with the Republi-
cans for protection on iron, timber,
sugar, rice, tobacco and other articles
grown or manufactured in their local
ity, the absolute selling out to the en-
envy for the loaves and the fishes-the
total abandonment of the Democratic
principle, and blindly overriding the
Constitution, which recognizes a tariff
for revenue but not for protection-it
is time for the party of jefferson, Jack
son, Tilden, Cleveland and Bryan. in
| it's commercial race for the dollar, to
stop and take soundings.
True, the party should not be held
responsible for the eighteen Demo
cratic senators who voted with the Re-
publicans to restore a tax on iron ore
and should not be bound by the action
of representatives from Louisiana, AL
ALBANIA, Florida and other Southern
| states, who are attempting to get some
of the 'swag" at the expense of prin
ciple. But what is the use for the
Democracy to meet in convention anC
decry against the iniquities of Repub
lican tariff laws, so eloquently describ
ed as the father of the trusts" wheI
its own members are voting to perpet
uate the evils complained of?
Grant or some other national charac
ter is quoted as saying that the DE
mocracy can always be depended upol
to make a d fool of itself at tn
right time" and events of the pas
tend to prove the correctness of tn
assertion, and the action of leadin
Democratic members of congress cor
firm the saying.
No; Democrats need not be concern
ed about the tariff bill splitting III
Republican party. The only fear
that it may wreck the Democracy.
Let us look nearer home.

1t has been thoroughly demonstrated

century has passed since that long
and bloody conflict. The brave men
of the north and the equally brave
men of the south, who fought with
sublime faith in the justice of their
respective causes, have nearly all
gone to their reward. The few vet
Grams of both sides who are left, and
the younger generations of the morrill,
and the south, have forgotten the old
animosities. The sectional bitterness
which once rent this country in twain
has no more existence, save in the
hearts of a fanatic few. Just and
generous men everywhere gladly
voice tribute to the heroes of the past,
irrespective of whether they wore the
blue or the gray. A runited country
has no use for sectional bitterness or
for those who strive to keep alive the
dying, almost dead, embers of hate.
Holding firmly to this view, the
Daily News did not deem it necessary
to bother with Mr. Hollingsworth save
to merely remark in passing that he
is an unmitigated ass, and we have
always been welded to the old. adage
that it is a waste of lather to shave
one of these animals.

Wright BROTHERS HAVE
MANY ORDERS FOR AIRSHIPS

The Shah of Pesia, perhaps remem-
boring one occasion when he had to
escape from his palace by stealth, and
desiring TO have a new device to de-
feat the revolutionaries, has asked
that a machine be constructed for him
IS soon as possible. A Chinese man
larin has also sent an order.
The Wrishts will be unable to fill all
their orders because the factory is too
small for their work. They will en-
large its capacity greatly this summer
and hope to be able TO meet all de-
mands made upon them. Another
trouble they are having is in obtain
ing a sufficient quantity of steel of the
exact grade to keep the present fac
tory working up to capacity.
That the operations of the Wrights
need not be restricted for want Of cap
ital is shown by the fact that they have
refused an offer since their return for
the investment of a large sum in their
enterprise This offer came from well
known New York capitalists, who be-
lieved that the operations of the
Wrights should be greatly enlarged.
They declared, however, that they had
sufficient money of their own to car
ry on their work.
