through the powerful five-inch finder of
the great telescope at the Naval Observa-
tory here.
The comet was discovered by Paul T.

you will know who II is. Now, have

no doubt but that the turkey was In

was 90 much like mine. This dis
couraged me some, but the last in.
quiry 1 made, and the one which de-
oded me to hold my peace-and also
the turkey-for my Christmas dinner,
was when asked Col. Wadlington II

Colonel bashfully admitted that it
was he, but that as everybody knew
that he had raised no turkeys, nor
had he ever been seen with. one, it
would be best to just 20 ahead and
eat 1t and say no more about it. This,
therefore, did, and as the. turkey
was just 6ne, I wish to express my
sincere thanks for IL.

The Methodist church was crowded
Christmas eve. for the annual enter.
tsioment consisting Of music, recita-

hearts OF the little ones glad.
At the Evangelical church on Christ
mas eve. an unusually Interesting pro-
gram was rendered by the children Of

worthy manner.
The Christian and Baptist churches
each gave an entertainment followed
by the distribution Of presents from q
Christmas tree and the large crowds
attending we're we'll pleased with the
programs.
