BY Francis Lynch.
Only a Christmas tree-brilliantly
lighted, tbs true, but otherwise quite

and gifts. yet offering to all who stand
in its effulgent glow a gift beyond the
command of mere price, the gift of the
Christmas Spirit, Peace on earth,
good will toward men," teaching sill

mon more potent than one of words or
pen; casting new significance upon
the scriptural admonition, Love thy
neighbor as myself" 1t is tine dream
of idealists come true, of invisible
Santa Clauses engaged In the aplenIld
work Of making everybody happy on
Christmas in spite of themselves or
circumstances. 1t answers the ques-

idea has been tested. Sentiment, the
Christmas sentiment especially, is not
dead in our big cities. 1t has lain dor

that was needed to stir it into life was
case of plain, unadulterated. home
sickness. Altogether it is a pretty lit.
tie story.
A certain young American had gone
to Germany to pursue course OF
study. 1t was Christmas eve, and he
was alone and friendless. Walking
the streets, he glimpsed in homes
alight with Christmas trees, scenes Of
merry preparations for the Joyous
festival, scenes in which he could have
no part. Bitter thoughts assailed him
Why should there be SO much hunger
of soul, so many human beings adfIf
in the world, with none to say friend
7ly word to them, none to wish them {

butted by a furious COW last Fri
day. A young COW with her calf
was in the pasture near the house.
Some horse had been running her
and the calf. Mr.-SimmOns went
to the rescue and was waving a
small stick to keep them away
from the COW, when she suddenly
and without warning, jumped at
Mr.. Simmons, striking him in the
chest with great force, knocking
him down breaking some of the
ribs and injuring him internally.
He is in a serious condition. Heis
about sixty-hve years of age and
owing to the excessively hot
weather his friends are apprehen-
sive about him. Mrs. Simmons
was at Mallory Springs atthe time.

Death of Mrs. T. J. Berry

Mrs. T. ]. Berry, wife of Mr.. T..
]. Berry, one of our oldest and
most esteemed citizens, died on
Tuesday night in Lexington, after
being in i'll health for some time.
Since last winter she and her
husband had made their home
with their only son, George, and
she was with him at the time of
her death.
Mrs. Berry had spent the great
er part of her life in this commu-
nifty, where she was widely known
and greatly beloved. AS a wife,
mother and neighbor, she lived
up to her highest obligations and
her passing away will leave a
place that can scarcely be filled,
while of the influence of her
beautiful life no reckoning can be
made.
The burial took place on Thurs
day afternoon in the Richmond
cemetery and was conducted by
Mrs. Berry is survived by her
husband and one son, Mr.. George
Berry, to whom we offer the
deepest sympathy.
