was another all day rain which makes
three rainy Sundays this month. The
mud and slush is awful.
The sad news is realized that Mr
H. c. Little of Kelton is at the point
of death and no hope is entertained
for his recovery.
There are no seriously sick in oar
town--thc death toll in our town has
been very light this year for which We
should be thankful, for the world has
perhaps suffered the loss of more hu-
man lives than any year since tn
birth of our Savior. The Christmas
tide is near at hand and perhaps ere
it is over many souls that are now
among us will be gone to their final
reward.
Death rides upon the stormy breeze
And turks in every flower;
Each season has its own disease
It's neril every hour.
While our people are crying hard
times. 1 notice the Christmas shop
pers are quite busy and Santa Claus
is showing up and will be in evidence
about as usual. The passing trains
have their usual number of passen-
~nrs and oil things visible would indi-
cate good times and Christmas cheer.

trarv, Notwithstanding.
Christmas and Santa Claus were
not in evidence when | was boy, but
the serenaders and sleigh riding fur
nished much of the fun and then the
cold Virginia reel' and the "break

the enjoyment of the holidays and Of
