used to seem a very, very long time
from one Christmas until the next but
as we grow older the milestones seem
so much closer that we imagine we
could walk the distance now quicker
than we could run it in the days of
our youth. 1t is the birthday Of a.
little King, whe will live forever that
we celebrate today Upon this occas-
ion rests no shadow Of future sor-
row. Every year, as the time of our
birth draws near, we feel it so very
acutely that we are one year near the
grave and are often wondering if it
will be the Lords will to spare our
lives one more precious year, but this
Kings birthday is an immortal one.
He has long since passed through the
grief of this human life, the agony of
the cross, and the silent and chill
shadow of the tomb, and because he is
the conquerer over all these, pain, sim
and death, he has become the blessed
saviour of all mankind.

NOT GOOD MANNERS.

At the closing of the Public Schoo
Thursday night, the pleasure was
marred by the constant going in and
out of some unfortunate youths, Who'll
did not possess brain enough to listen
TO the exercises, and whose stock of
whiskey on the inside impelled them
to 90 out every five minutes and ANAL
gamate with more on the outside. As
a result, the rear of the hall smelled
like a saloon dispite the vigorous
chewing of cloves, which these beetle
browed youths vigorously chewed IN
der impression that it concealed the
smell of whiskey on their breath. Ad-
ded to this cannonade of giant crack
ers was started up when anything i'm
portant was going on.
1t is said that it was part of an ar
ranged program, which, however, fell
through, as Sequachee young gentle
man, whom the crowd figured on en-
listing on their side to "bust up the
show" did not get drunk on the two
drinks he got, and thus their hopes
were blasted. There were others in
the crowd perfectly sober, who were
highly indignant at the outrage, and
it is probable that if carried too far
there would have been somebody hurt
before the conflict ended.
1t is pity that some people cannot
attend a public entertainment without
loading up on booze first, which makes
them nuisances. The patience of our
best people is getting sadly wearied
over this matter, and sometime some
body is going to feel the force of the
law in the matter.
