PAST WEEK BUSY
 ONE FOR MERCHANTS

Anniston, December 24-(Special.)- Christmas shopping in Anniston was probably heavier this year than ever be- fore. All during the week people came to town in large numbers from the sur rounding country, and business activity increased up to closing time Saturday night, when the business district was literally damned with late shoppers. Some of the fruit and confection stores were almost entirely cleaned out, and before noon Saturday the buying of a turkey in Anniston was impossible.

told to put away her playthings. as it
was near bedtime She did not obey
the command, and, when forced to do

temper. Her father. who was up

Irma started to the stairs, but sud.
denly made turn. dashed along the
hall, and out Of the house. OF course
she was soon captured, but her excite.
nlent was so great that she was put TIC
bed at once. Mothers effort soothed
the child and then she was asked:
why did you run away when your
father called you?" The reply came
promptly enough: You don't suppose
mamma, that wanted a whipping
bad enough to SO upstairs after it?"
