4 MERRY CHRISTMAS.

The Graphic extends to its readers Merry Christmas
 The best wishes of the season go with this greeting not only to its readers, but to the many faithful em- ployees of the Adams Printing Co. lt .s a season of good cheer and good will. and every heart should echo the glad message Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men
 Even though the Christmas tide may be a time for sadness in many hearts through personal experience and memories, that universal message of good will should bring peace and ev- en happiness because of the Christ mas spirit that pervades the world It is the time to put as.de self. and think of others, which is after all the only true source of happiness
 The Christmas spirit Is a blessing in this material age It warns the heart to know of good deeds the sea- son calls forth, the poor remembered, the sad ones cheered

EMPTY STOCKINGS.

If there are any empty stockings i'll Pine Bluff Monday morning it will not be the fact of many of her people who are earnestly working to prevent that little tragedy from occurring The letters that have been printed from time to time in the Graphic, written by the children who fear that Santa Claus will forget them, or from strug- gling parents-usually mothers-who pathetically beg that their little ones shall not be forgotten, show that there are in this community, as we'll as III all others, many persons to whom the Christmas seasons brings only fore bodings.
 Just what mother feels when she hears her children prattling in child ish trustfuiness of the things that Santa Claus is going to bring them, when she knows that only the worlds charity stands between them and bit ter disappointment. if not despair, must be left to the imagination of the warm hearted people-the Elks, the Salvation Army and other charitable workers-who are impersonating Santa Claus. That their imaginations are remarkably vivid and their sym pathies wonderfully keen is shown by the many enterprises that are active ly under way for the relief of the dis .ress that is apparently so abundant. of this distress is never suspected, or al least never discovered through the ordinary agencies of the various charitable organizations except at such seasons as Christmas, the con such seasons as Christmas, the conditions revealed would reflect upon the generosity of the commuh- ity But few worthy calls for relief have ever been disregarded and the responses to these multiplied requests will be more bountiful this year than ever before.
 Surely there is no good reason why at such a time as this there should be anybody hungry or cold or poorly clothed in city proverbially gener- ous toward the unfortunate. There is no danger, however, that there will be any surplus of good deeds. Every dollar that is contributed wn doub- less be placed where it will do the most good.
