WESTERN. METHODIST NOTES

This Christmas tide, while it brings
JOY to thousands of hearts, is never
.theless marked with tears and lamen-
tation for others 1t is the annivers-
airy of great griefs to some, as it is of
great joys to others. 1t is the time
also of fresh wounds to others, as, for
example, when death called away a
few days ago sweet little girl from
the bosom of the family of Hugh
Pence, Conway Ark. We give them
our love and sympathy, and we would
remind all readers that Christmas is
not so much a timeYof trifiing gifts as
it is of giving comfort to all hearts
about us.
We deeply regret that we have to
record the death of Brother Ezra
Witt, Conway, Ark. Notice of his
death should have appeared in this pa
per last week, but no one seems to
have sent in the notice He died on
the 18th of the month He was not
an old man, just little past middle
life, A most excellent man he was; a
consistent and devoted member of the
Methodist church all his life He was
the father of Rev W. u. Witt, pre-
siding elder of the Ardmore district,
West Oklahoma conference, who owes
his excellent Christian training to him
and to his mother, now left widow. --
Western Methodist.

Columbus Day
 In Tombstone

Father Time. upon some occasions fingers in the wild wood, but 1t ails to be stated that the bearer of the scycle was ever remiss in his steady tread.
 It is more than 400 years since Columbus took Queen Issbella's iis- moDds and hiked scross painless sea it ~as longer ere Arizona paid just tribute to the daring navigator who found this recluse for the weary, the energetic, and those who would give comfort to the world. All nstionali- ties followed the wake of the intrepid sailor. since which eventful epoch an empire that defies all msnkind and challenges all the poSers of the con- tiuents. has prospered and bids to grow unceasingly.
 Saturday was "Columhus Day" ia Arizona. the first of continual sno unlimited series, because, iorsooih, ~e are an sppreciative people, and "Col- umous Day" will be, hencefor,h. a legal holiday. proclaimed so by stat ute.
 All of which is appreciated by the general public, but not observed more pstriotically than by the Tombstone Italian colony. who made it day to be remem bered.
 "Columhus Day" will heuceiorward mark sn event in the history Of our nation, and Tombstone will continue 70 give due recognition.
