What we need is a simple, honest
desire to make all those happy
whose lives touch ours
OF all the pleasures known to
men and women none has been dis
covered comparable to the pleasure
of giving pleasure. And Christmas
is the time for this.
Cut out all thought of getting.
Cut out all envy, bitterness and
greed, Try genuinely to be helpful,
just this once.
And remember that the best gift
you can make any one Is the eift of
your own cheer and optimism, For
get your own aching foot, or
aching heart, Forget your failure,
your Disappointment Forget your
enemies and all them that have
despitefully used you, Forget your
wrongs Forget your poverty
Just remember you are a human
being, and that there are other hu-
man beings you may liven up a
little If you try.
Be real optimist, which means
one who Is making the best of what
he Is and of what he has, while
striving to be greater and to have
more.

that over all Is a good God who will

SMILE! FOR IT IS CHRISTMAS!
Hearst's Magazine.

Why celebrate ChristmasY And
how ought we keep it, these modern
days?
We ought to 90, every one of us
grown-ups, head foremost into it. 1t
is chance to enter riotously into
the greatest fun-producine game
that ever was in the world, the
game Of making other people, and
especially little children, happy.
Whatever makes happiness, and
leaves no after taste of bitterness,
is worth while.
We ought to observe Christmas
because it is about the best custom
this cantankerous old world has
ever formed, Heaven knows, there
are bad customs enough; stupid,
deadening customs that perpetuate
unjust conditions simply because
they have always been; cruel and
wicked customs, relentless ghosts of
the past that throttle the present
with their hard old gray hands, GUS
toms that poison and stunt us; Gus
toms in war; in politics, in fashion,
in economics, in thought and even
In passion.
And when comes along a sweet
and cheerful custom, with It's arms
full of laughing children, let us fall
In.
We do not have to believe in any
OF the strange and childish crodul-
tiles of the ancient Druids nor In
the tales of the Middle Ages, but we
should be able to appreciate the
charming flavor of the Christmas
legends and put d bit of 1t into our
all too matter.ol.fact modern life.
We do not need to plunge into
the exeesses and extravaeances that
spoil Christmas, The blessed time
does not imply spending a million
dollars on presents for people who
sniff at your gifts because they did

dorsed the plan, if indeed ne did
not engineer it.
The whole thing smacks some
what of political legerdemaln,
brought about to advance the in
terests of an individual or two,
rather than to advance the cause
of the church, which is generally
supposed to be the object of first
and greatest interest with the con-
ference and its officials.
The Record, which speaks of the
matter because it is of great i'm
portance to the community and, if it
can, to prevent the spread of a false
impression, feels safe in saying that
the Methodist church in Evening
Shade will not operate as mis-
sion; that it will not accept that
decision of the conference or the
$50 appropriation-yielding that to
the places which the conference
records will show need it much
worse-but that it will, as it has al
ways done, cooperate heartily with
all those who are willing and able
to recognize its rights.

U. j. DOuthitt, who had gone
north from this place and left his
family here, came in with these
soldiers, and announced that he
had come to stay. The next morn
ing Col. Warren with his men left
for Batesville, but the weather be-
ing so cold and there being so much
snow and ice in the road, they did
not get there that day. About noon
the next day they went into town
and, to their great establishment,
found Gen. Marmaduke there in
full possession and control of every
thing thereabout. Gen. Marmaduke
acted very obstinately with these
Dutchmen, and would not let them
stay in town long enough to pass
compliments with any one there or
even Get their dinners. He made
them retreat and get out on double
quick time.
These gallant Dutchmen arrived
back in Evening Shade at 3 o'clock
A. M that night, all nearly frozen,
for the thermometer must have
registered at least ten degrees below
zero. They rode up to gates, got off
their horses and went into houses
and took possession, no difference
how many women and children
were occupying the beds. The
Dutchmen took possession of every
thing, hunted up the woodpiles and
made rousing fires. COL Warren,
with his same crew that had stayed
at our house two nights before,
came back with a few more and
filled up the beds. Those that
could not get beds piled down in the
floor in front of the fire. Other
families were treated in the same
way and every residence and vacant
house in town was filled with sol.
diers. The men Of the town had all
gone to the country that night tC
escape being arrested and being
carried away. Mrs. COL McCalet
was left, like other women in town
with lot of little children, except
that she had odd Aunt julia" the
black nanny who did most of the
mans work when Col. McCaleb was
away. That evening Aunt Julia
and the children had carried in
wood for the next mornings fires
and placed it on the back porch
near the old darkey's room door
When she heard the men coming
into their house that night she at
once thought of her mornings wood
and cot out of bed and went out to
see about it, When she got out
she found q Dutchman with an arm
full of her wood. Aunt Julia" at
once grabbed the wood and forced
it away from him, and when he
made another effort to fill his arms
again the old darkey began to beat
him over the head with a stick OF
wood so savaeely that the trapped
and surprised Dutchman cried out
"Vot in de hell does you mean'
does you want me to freezer
Aunt Julia" reminded him that
abe didn't care If he did freeze and
that he might 90 to the lower re-
Sions to get warm-furhermore
tkat she would bust" his head
wide open If he didn't let her wood
alone. The Dutchman, defeated
and woodless, beat a retreat, NUT

THAT MISSION

Much dissatisfaction is expressed
il evening Shade over the fact that
fbe late conference of the M. t.
Chnrch, South, in session at Clar-
endon, created mission work with
this place as the center, and IT can'
We think, be readily establlsneo
that this dissatisfaction IS well
grounded.
The records show that during the
last conference year the town OF
Evening Shade contributed within
few dollars as much money to-
ward the support of the ministry
and church as all the other ap-
pointments on the circuit with
which it was at that time connected
combined,
This fact is significant when 1t IS
remembered that it has never here
tofore been the policy of the con-
ference to create missions of those
places which are the most willing
X to support themselves. Rather, as
IS well known, it has been the
sensible policy Of the conference to
creafe missions in those places
whore the support of the ministry
Il N6akest. In the face of these
facts, then, it is not easily under
sfood upon just what theory those
Ii minority at the conference pro-
cceled when they created the Even
lug Shade mission.
These authorities clearly demon
) strated the fact that they believe
!. this place little needs to be created
q mission when they appropriated
only a pittance toward its support.
AThey must have known from the
records at hand that Evening Shade
IS willing and able to take care of
itself, and they certainly did not ex-
pect that $50 appropriation to sup
n port the ministry in the three small
\ oppointments linked with this
place Ii mission. 1t is contended
that the conference wishes to
\ support those three places as a
4 2l1l1GI0n il should do so by creating
thom INTO mission and making
"A interpolation for them. But
our psople object to being called a
char9eupon the conference when,
with 81 the neglect the church
a here has received from conference
qppointees, it has in no sense become
a charge Or burden to the confer
