Santa Claus.

munication with Santa Claus, Ihe
Advertiser has telephoned the fol
lowing Christmas suggestions to
the old gentlemen, whose goodness

railroad. 1t matters not whence it
cometh or whittier it goeth-just so

chunk of Uucle Andy Carnegie's
peace donation to be expended in
maintaining peaceful relations be-
tween Pig Town" and Bun
combe.
Please put thirty-pound gobbler
head-foremost in the sock of every
minister in the county. So small a

they deserve.

of Edgefeld's men and less hair for
some of the women.
