der the city hall there yesterday.

man is being held by the CleVe-
land police. but so far they have
been unable 20 secure any infor-
nation that will implicate him.

be shed upon the mystery. II Is

peared from Cleveland January &c.

Speaial 70 tie Mezos.
Permit me, dear editors, to step in
this beautiful December morning and
communicate with you and the hest of
readers of your highly appreciated
newsy paper. While we feel sad in
contemplation of the fact that our old
year, 1918. is about closed. and forev-
or gone, and we are brought to one
more year nearer the end of our iourn-
ey through this life, we look forward
to the ushering in of new year. and
hope TO be able to enjoy the sweets Of
a more pleasant and more peaceful
life, realizing that fact, that when we
are done with the troubles and tur-
moils of this life, there is a place be-
yond where there is no dread of sor-
row, pains and separations, and when
we look at life from this view point
we can with cheerful heart, bid fare
we'll to old 1913, and enter into 1914
with joyful heart and a contented
mind.
Well, our little band of Sunday
school workers at this place, did them
selves honor in their performances
here Xmas Eve. Everyone acted their
part to the perfect satisfaction of all
spectators present, so far as we have
been informed. The house was filed
to it's fullest capacity, and better be-
havior and better order never has been
witnessed at Caroline Chapel. Our
Honorable Justice of the Peace ap-
pointed some special officers to assist
our worthy constable of this district
to keep order, but their services were
not needed, not drunken man was
seen on the grounds, and that is unus-
ual at a celebration during Xmas
times. The printed program was car
ried out in full, after which old Santa
performed his part in distributing the
gifts which were so tastefully hung
around on the Xmas tree, and made
the hearts of the children leap with
joy, hoping they may live to enjoy
another occasion like the a4th of De-
cember, 1919.
j. s. Billingsley, one of Chattanoo-
gas expert carpenters, was in our vi
cinity through Xmas times, visiting
his old mother and other relatives and
friends.
Mrs. Nancy Knox, the mother of
Mrs. Ruth Griffith whose demise was
reported in these columns two weeks
ago, who was called to the bedside of
her daughter when it was given up
