fine mule from DR.. Milstead at Cranes

Bethel. but no one would buy at the

Cunningham, aged II years, edi-
or and proprietor of the Con
federate Veteran, passed away
a grand character, and an honest
man. About twenty years ago
he began the publication of a
journal, unique in the fact that
it had no pattern, and will doubt
less have no successor. The
Confederate Veteran is the his
torlcal receptacle of the the Con-
federate soldier. AS. a facile
writer, at all times breathing a
broad humanity, he had few
equals. Through his columns
much of the bitter asperities of
the war were Modified. He rose
to the height of the honest his
rorian, and accredited honor
where honor was due. We great
ly fear that no one will rise to
carry out the work he has Sc

One might think from reading
in the daily papers accounts of Sc
many murders, robberies, divorc-
es and other devilment, that the
whole people were going to the
bad. But on the other hand dur
ing the holidays have never
known as great a spirit of benev-
olence and charity, exhibited in
looking. after the material needs
of the poor and unfortunate.
The noble labors in all the cities
and towns of the country, by
Christian people, give a color to
the conditions which belle the
thought that America is going to
the bad.

Hookworm Question

DR.. DIN West. state director of
rural sanitation, wishes to have the
question of hookworm campaign
presented to the county court next
Monday, Jan. 9th. In pursuance Of
that idea he has sent me as his repre-
sentative to appear before the court
and explain the matter in detail.
An Investigation of hookworm dis
ease has been made in McNairy coun-
ty. Out of one hundred microscopic
examinations, thirty-one children
were found to be infected with the
disease. If such an average were
maintained all over the county hun
dreds of children in McNairy are suf-
! turing. and their development in every
way is being retarded. Money spent
for the education Of such children is
practically wasted, because they are
unable to grasp and hold the informa-
ton as it is given them.
In the eastern and middle sections
of the state the work has been going
on well, and it is the purpose Of those
in charge to have the work done in
every county in the state. In order
to get the cooperation and support
of Its citizens each county is asked to
make a small appropriation of money.
This money with that presented
through the State Board of Health
will insure an opportunity for exam
nation and treatment of every person
In the county entirely free of charge
1t is sincerely hoped that the coun.
te court will see fit to grant the small
appropriation asked for, thereby Civ
ing to those infected and who are
now weak, sick and sometimes are
numbered as inmates of asylums ant
county homes, an opportunity to grow
and develop into strong. healthy ant
useful citizens. Such changes, espe'
cially in the lives of children, are be
ing made every day in every one o.
the Southern states where the worl
ia in progress.

What a lovely Xmas morning
dawned on our sight as we lifted oul
curtain and gazed on the soft white
covering which mantled the earth
hiding the scared leaves, the dry
grass, and giving a sJft touch, as Of
ermine trimming, to the cedar and
holly trees scattered here and there,
giving a touch of color to the other
wise saddened landscape, for nature
is in her mournful period now. But
with it all there is ever mysterious
charm to US, an ever bewildering
thought that throws around magma
tion peculiar fascination, as we
gaze on the leafess woods, except
now and then a wide spreading
beech, W hose limbs, clothed
with faded brown leaves, seem to be
stetching out in pathetic appeal to
Mother Nature to hasten the coming
of springtime, when there will be re-
joicing, instead of silent mourning;
when the songs of the birds will take
the place of the rustic of dead leaves
and the swapping of dried twigs;
when clear gurgling water will move
nosily through the beds of the
streams, instead of the now yellow,
sluggish water.
But this is Xmas, and the earth is
surely rejoicing over the natal day,
nearly twenty centuries ago, Of the
Perfect Man, born in the most lowly
way at Bethlehem of Judea; rejoicing
because his mission of love. His chart
ty, born of divinity, is being more
fully understood than ever before.
Man meets his fellowmen with kind
ness and consideration, bestowing on
the less favored much Of his own
goods. The emblem of the mistletoe,
once part of the worship among the
ancient Druids and sun worshipers, is
still, after the centuries have rolled
into the past, a sign Of love and affec-
ton; the Xmas tree always of green
was then. as now, a sign of the re-
newal of good feeling, good cheer and
the radiation of happiness around US.
Nothing indicates to me so much
the spread of peace and true hearted
charity, as the rearing of the great
Xmas tree in Court Square in Men,
phis, lighted with thousand lights,
and crowned with magnificent blaz-
ing star, much like, methinks, to the
one leading on the wise men to the
manger at Bethlehem. On this tree
were gifts for all, rich and poor, chill
dren of the former leaping from their
luxurious autos to come in contact,
perhaps for the first time, with the
children of the tenement district; all
listening in reyerent mood to the
voices of church choirs as they sang
ancient Xmas carols. We are begin
ming to hear more clearly the voice
the shepherds heard on the lonely
plain; Peace, good will to all"
May you all have happy New
Year, joy in all your deeds, and days,
time for the task, peace for the path
way, friends for the Preside and love
for the home, is the wish of
Yours truly,
