SOUVENIR COUNTY PAMPHLET

County Clerk J. \. Lawrence has
compiled and had printed in pam
phlet form with the Receipts and Ex.
pcnditures of st. Francois county
for the fiscal year ending march I,
1910, brief sketch of the county
since its organization in lS2l. II Is
illustrated with cuts of the officials
of the sresent County Court, of the
old and present court houses, the
old poor farm and the new inilrmary,
the county jail and the old court
house and tho crowd on the occa-
sion Of the hanging of Hardin Jan
uary 30, 1850. 1t tells when the first
court house was built lin 1926, the
the first Jail lin 1924, etc; the
county's growth in wealth aud pop
ulation since 1869; our cities, towns
and villages and their population; II
roster Of county officials since 1872 I;
interesting Information of our pub
lie schools and roads, our transpor-
tatiOn facilities, and other matters
of statistical and historical interest .
I II was no small labor to collect
and compile these facts in II succint
form, as all the old records of the
county had to be gone over and cN-
amined for ninety years back, and
Mr.. Lawrence has done this in his
( general careful and correct way,
giving lot of information of inter
est to many that could be obtained
In no other way This he has done
as Il labor of love aud the interest
he takes in the welfare of the coun-
ty, the printing and all being done
at his own expense, except the cuts
of the public buildings which ap-
pear In the pamphlet. Only a linn
tied number of the books were
printed, and these will be given to
those who feel an interest in such
matters and will call at the County
Clerks Office for them until the sup
ply Is exhausted.
The book is q credit to both Mr..
Lawrence and the county, speaking
In no uncertain way Of his excellent
efficiency as county official and
pride In his county. He Is the Dem
ocratic nominee for reelection to
an Office that he has most admira-
bly, filled, and the people of the
county could i'll afford not to re-
elect him. Another matter, which
this little pamphlet sets forth to the
eye is good picture Of the County
Inflrmary. This is an institution
of which we have reason to be
proud. II is n reform In taking care
of our INDECENT poor that has at
tracted more than local attention
and been pointed to as a model by
members of our State Committee of
Charities and Correction, and has
been emulated by other counties.

Fra. Christmas Observance.

Christmas gets its name from the
mass celebrated In the early days OF
the Christian church in honor of the
birth OF Christ. its first solemniZaticn
having been ordered by Pope Telespho-
rus This was in or before the year
1873. for in that year Pope Telesphorus
died.
At first Christmas was what Is
known as n movable feast. just as
Easter is now. and owing to misunder
standings was celebrated as late as
April or May. In the fourth century
an ecclesiastical investigation was or
dered. and upon the authority of the
tables Of the censors in the Roman
archives Dec % was agreed upon as
the date of the SayiOur's nativity. Ira
dition fixed the hour of birth at about
midnight. and this led to the ceiebra
ton of a midnight mass in all the
churches. second AT dawn and n
third in the later morning.

A Marry Chriatn1as lest.


An old chronicle contains the follow

There was some time an old knight
who. being disposed TO make himself
merry In a Christmas time. sent for
many Of his tenants and poor neigh
bors with their wives TO dinner. when
having made meat TO be set on the
table would suffer no man to drinke
till he that was master over his wife
should sing a carroll; great niceness
there was who should be the musician
Yet with much adoe. looking one upon
another. after a dry hemme or two. a
dreaming companion drew out as
much as he dare toward an old fash
Toned ditty. When having made an
end. TO the great comfort of the be-
holders. al last it came TO the women's
table. when likewise commandment
was given that there should no drinke
be touched till she that was master
over her husband had sung a Christ
mas carroll: whereupon they fell all to
such a singing that there was never
heard such a catterwaling peece OF
musicke. Whereat the knight laughed
heartily. that it did him halle as
muche good as a corner OF his Christ
mas pie"
