THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

The annual Elks' C. ristmas tree will be featured at the Elks TheateI Sunday. Msny ch.ldre. will be made happy on that occasio. and it will do the Elks good to sec them enjoy it. The Elks annual Christmas tree is now one of Pine Bluff institut 'ons. There is nothing political or sectaran about it. Working hand in hand to give the poor children of this city a glorious Christmas art people who belong to ali political parties and all or no religious congr stion. It is such splendid cause tLat it awakens interest among all of on good people. notwithstanding the fact that the Elks alone are asked to donate to maintain it. Not only W I toys be giv- en, but the Elks will d stribute cloth ing candy, fruits and provisions.
 This is the sort of Christmas spirit that Is in the air. It is simply glor- ious and exemplif.es he sentiment that 1t is more blessed to give than to receive There should not be a slng1e boy or girl in tt 3 city on Chrt1tlnas m ,rning witlout some spe- cinl happiness.

the risk he ran, solitary horseman,
