A Few DOn'ts.

The Christmas season now but
one month removed, is always
saddened by the loss of life from
fire occasioned by some little
carelessness in handling the
Christmas trees.
1T should be remembered hol-
iday fires in stores, churches, and
bazaars, while filled with people
are usually holocausts.
Light, inflammible decora-
tons make easy fires to start and
easy to spread. A match, gas
flame or an electrical defect may
do it.
Watch gas jets. Decorations
may be carried against them by
air currents.
Watch smokers. Do moi per-
nit them to light cigars inside
buildings.
do not make the slightest
change in electric wiring without
consulting the electrical inspector
DO not decorate your Christ
mas tree with paper, cotton or
any other inflammable material.
Use metallic tinsel and other nom
inflammable decorations only and
set the tree securely so that the
children in reaching for things
cannot tip it over.
DO not use cotton to represent
snow. If you must have snow
use asbestos fiber.
do not permit children to light
or relight the candles while par
ents are not present. They fire.
quently set fire to their clothing
instead. The tree itself will burn
when needles have become dry.
DO not leave matches within
reach of children at holiday time.
Candles are meant to be lighted.
and if the children can get
matches they will experiment
with them. They initiate their
elders"

The afternoon of Tuesday,
Dec. 5th, Mrs. R. B. English very
pleasantly entertained the W. c.
T. U. ladies at her beautiful
home on Main street, the occasion
being a Mothers Meeting"
Several visitors were present: and
and all seemed deeply interested
in the papers read, and in the
discussions which followed. A
live interest was manifested,
showing that our women are wide
awake and progressive, and in
tensely alive to the best interests
of the home and the duties OF
motherhood. Mrs. D. c. Satter-
lee read a sketch THE Sociable
Sew Lady" which was not only
instructive, but abounded in hu.
NOR, at the same time pointing a
moral all the way through.
Ruin in Disguise, F" read BY Mrs.
English, was along the line of
social purity, and being a deep,
thoughtful article, created a pro-
found impression, and was fol-
lowed by an animated discussion.
The reading of an original story
by Mrs. John Jones was received
with applause and favorable COM
meut. Another paper of merit
was read by Mrs. E: M. Kitchener
being a tender, beautiful word
picture of southern home life In
Ante Bellum days. A delicious
was served BY the host
ess assisted by Mrs. Jones and
Mrs. McAleruy.
