Christmas Firecrackers.

In many parts of the south for years
after the civil war it was Christmas
instead of the Fourth of July that was
the season for firecrackers. Every
Christmas the storekeepers laid in large
supplies of firecrackers. and the small
boy of that period felt sadly slighted
by Santa Claus unless be found al
least one of his stockings stuffed with
punches of the little red explosives. In
these districts such thing as fire
cracker on the Fourth of July was un
known. Of late years. however. the
firecracker has been restored to its
proper date in nearly every community
and Christmas noise is confined chiefly
to the blowing of horns and the beat

TIE OYSTER CONVENTION.

date set for the oyster convention
which Major Stubs. Of Gloucester. an
nounced several weeks ago would be
held IN Newport News. From Glouees-
ter and adjoining counties comes the
news that delegates 10 the convention
have been chosen by oystermen. and
that section will be well represented
in the convention.
Activity in this connection seems to
have been confined to the territory
across the YORK river. however II
anything has been done on the Pen
insula We have heard nothing OF II.
No doubt, though. the oystermen on
this side are interested and will come
in force to participate In the conven-
ton. without the formality OF naming
delegates.
No announcement has been made
arrangements for the con
vention IL would be well for the di-
rectors of the Chamber of Commerce
to take up this matter at once and
see to it that the oystermen are
looked after If they carry out
their intention of meeting in this city.
