The Wedding.


For two days before and two DAYS
after the newspapers printed nothing
much excepting news OF the wedding.
1t was public wedding. in the sense
that all OF society was invited. Il
was celebrated in the great ballroom
at the Atlantic, the hotel where the
Tunnel project was launched some
nine years before. and the newspapers
printed with minute care and mathe-
NAUTICAL eXaCtness the cost of every
thing connected with It. on top of
the whole mass Of figures was the
brides announcement that as a we'd
ding gift TO her husband she had
founded a pension fund OF $4,000, 600
for the crippled and i'll Of the tunnel
workers
The reporters wrote columns about
the gayety and JOY OF the occasion
They commented especially ON the
dehonair ana jovisl manner Of the
middle-aced bridegroom During the
period of their engagement Allan
could never bring himsplf TO play the
lover, but he had played a little more
than the part Of a friend. In the
presence Of others his conduct had
always been that expected OF a nsnce.

replied with a grim set Of his Jaw.

This IL the end Of the boring

caused the explosion.
Allan helped her to alight and they
walked to the very brink of the great

them was a great gulf. whore little

Value of Publicity

A merchant in a small town
who saw a farmer receive goods
at railroad station from a mail
order house told him lie could
have sold the same goods for
less money and saved the freight
besides. The farmer asked why
he didn't let the people know.
Though he had taken the home
paper regularly for ten years,
he never saw a line in it that
such goods were 10 be had. The
mail order house came after the
trade and got it. Merchants
and manufacturers who fail TO
advertise what they have should
not expect to compete with those
who do. The very best articles
at the lowest prices will be
passed by when people are un.
aware of their existence. Prob
ably If the merchant hsd adver-
tised and the farmer had bought
from him, he wouldn't have
known that his advertisement

Christmas

Why is Christmas? How die
| it originate? Why and how
should it be celebrated? We say
lit is the birth of Christ. Then
! if it is the birthday of Christ, il
must have originated more than
nineteen hundred years ago,
when Christ was born in Beth
hem Of Judea; when the shep.
herds watched their tiocks ~
night; when they were suddenly
awakened and a great light
shone around; when an angel
appeared to them and told tnem
the joyous news that a savior
was born into the world.
Christmas has not been cele-
brated through all the ages,
vet it has been celebrated for
many years Then we should
celebrate Christmas because it
is the birthday of the greatest
leadear that has ever been born
into the world.
Then the question of how we
should celebrate so great and
important an event as the birth
of Christ. is a matter of no
small concern. We think it nice
to give presents, especially to
the needy. We understand and
realize there has not been a
greater gift to the world than
Christ the Lord.
Christmas should be day OF
rejoicing, especially among
christians. We are pursuaded,
however, that many people do
not celebrate Christmas as they
should. 1t seems that some of
them care only for the things OF
the world; and, alas! many tar
ry long at the wine cup, SEEM
ingly forgetting that swine is a
mocker and strong drink is
raging"
May we appeal to the church
es to study and take up some
plan to celebrate Christmas in
a more holy and upright way.

There was az interesting case
in the CIRCUIT court at Athens
this week Involving a suit again.
st the L. & y Railroad Co., fol
damages in the sum of $4,000
brought by Mrs. Mamie Carter

Carter had been in the employ

Copper 4 Iron Company at Duck

brakesmau and dagman on one
of it's trains and was killed in a

plcyee and left q young wife

ed The L. & N. Company was
ably represented By Attorneys

1t was contended by the plain
tiff that inastnuch as the switch
at the Y was in the absolute

duty of that road to keep it
clear from the trains of the
Copper Company and to main

was contended by the plaintiff
that on the occasion Of the wreck

A section of the Bristol-to-

has some roads as good as this.
Automobiles are frequently pass

the trains to and from Jonesboro
Most students seem unconscious
of the trains passing, provided
the students have well-prepared
lessons. Such would not have
been the case fifty years ago.
In spite OF their better chances
a lot of young people of today
are not as good readers and
writer's as most older people.
