A JOYOUS Christmas.

We bring greetings to each OF
our readers for a happy, peace
full, joyous Christmas. May
there be nothing to mar or dis.
turb the true Christmas spirit
and felicity. May every heart
on that glad day 20 up in a JOY.
Gus refrain and join in sentiment
and feeling with the angelic host
Of nearly two thousand years
ago when they sang GLORY to
God in the highest, and on earth
peace, and good will toward
men. :"
And why should we not dc
this? It should be the highest
ambition of every Christian to
Join in this acclaim. It should
be considered the greatest priv
ilege of any and all in this Chris
tian land to seek the full fruition
of such a condition.
The phrase expresses tie fact
and desire that all should recog-
nize Gods goodness, the fullness
of His love and His glory in the
highest. 20 the uttermost de-
gree, in the highest strain, is the
limitless conception of human
thought. in the highest heave, rs
and in the highest degree. Why!
Because in the coming OF His
only son, Jesus Christ, it meant
peace on earth; it meant that
God was so much concerned
about the welfare and happiness
and blessings of mankind that
He gave His only begotten
son" to bring them into peace,
and love, and JOY, and life ever
lasting.
The peace which God brings
to man through Christ is not
only the ideal, but the goal
toward which men are moving,
the holy city of God. Peace,
peace, who is it that does not
want peace? Peace of mind,
peace of soul, peace of con-
science. That peace which pass
eth understanding; which the
world cannot give nor take
away. Oh, that that peace may
reign supreme and control the
conduct of millions on earth this
blessed Christmas day!
This peace produces good will
toward men; it brings the rich
est blessings God can bestow,
which is manifested by His for
giving love, and will fit men for
the highest life on earth and the
blessedness of heaven.
No wonder Isaiah exclaimed
as heGiooked, through the misty
future, His name shall be
called
''Wcnderful,
Counsellor,
The Mighty God,
The Everlasting Father,
The Prince of Peace. y
The one who rules in such a way
that peace and love and Joy
abide in His kingdom. It is in
exhaustible. There are no dis.
turbing elements.
And as we come to celebrate
this Christmas day let us think
of this Prince of Peace, the
greatest Gift of God to man.
Let US celebrate it with
our gifts of love and peace to the
poor and TO friends.
More than in any age past we
have reason for celebrating the
coming Christ into the world fol-
more than ever do we see the
fruits of that coming; we are
nearer the Golden age. Mighty
hopes make us men," said Ten
nYson, and assurances of a trans
formed world gives enthusiasm
and strength. There are none
so poor, so unworthy, so feeble,
but can show in deeds Of kind
ness, expressions of sympathy,
words of love, cheer, hope and
courage, and thereby bring to
the hearts of men this glad day

MONUMENT FOR WIFE
OF DAVID CROCKETT

Austin, Texas, Feb. 4.-The wife of
the famous frontiersman and philos-
opher, David Crockett. gets an addi-
tional remembrance al the hands Of
the present legislature. In 1854, the
wife of the hero of the Alamo came
from Tennessee accompanied by her
only son, and settled in Johnson
county. That part of the country
where she settled, has since become
part of Hood county. Here she re-
sided until her death N 1866. Some
time after her death, sandstone tab
let, now showing the ravages of time,
was placed at her grave. Senators
Ward and Latimore have introduced
a bill appropriating $4,000 to replace
the sandstone tablet with one more
lasting and this bill met with unani-
nous consent of all the members.
While David Cricket played a most
important part in the pioneer days OF
Texas, and was one of those people
who died defending the Alamo in a
struggle for Texas freedom, few peo'
pie know that the wife almost twen-
ty years after the death Of her hus-
band came from Tennessee and set.
tied in Texas. The almost neglected
grave where she was buried attracted
attention of people of the vicinity and
prompted the senators to take action
in providing suitable monument
The work of erecting this monument
will be begun in its little cemetery at
Action, Texas, where her body is
| buried.

BUILDING GOOD ROADS
AT RAPID RATE

Houston. Texas, Feb. 4.-Highway
building in this, Bexar county, goes
on at such a rapid pace that it has
become necessary for the county COM
missioners to purchase an automobile
for the use of Road Engineer T. G.
Nelson. Work upon public roads is
being carried on in so many parts
of the county, each place demanding
the attention of the supervising en-
gineer. That he may get from one
locality to another quickly, an auto
mobile becomes indispensable. So
far several hundred miles of road
have been built over which an auto
can easily maintain a speed of 25
miles an hour, and this work is being
carried on more extensively here, per.
haps than in any other part Of the
state, farmers having awakened to the
real value of highways as CONNER
cial asset. Another thing, too, that
has added to this demand for good
roads is the many uses to which the
! farmers are putting the automobile.
