WHEN THE ANGELS SANG.

'Gloria in Excelsis Dec, ct in ter
Ia Pax bominibus. .
These were the words of the angels
years ago. At least, they are said to
be, and there seems to be no reason to
dispute the matter. 1t means great
deal, that old Latin sentence, which
we have probably incorrectly quoted.
However that fault does not matter
for the idea is we'll known, "Glory to
God in the highest, peace on earth to
men,"
There is great deal embraced in
the word peace just now, with only
few spots on the globe not in turmoil
and confusion, and it presents self
dent fact that any man who sticks
q gun over his shoulder may not al.
ways be at peace with his fellow men.
The first words of the cry of the an
gels is the key note, "Glory to God in
the highest" If we do this much
there will be ''peace on earth among
men, and we will have ''peace TO-
wards men," or any way you want to
translate il. When the angels sang, a
most important event was consumat-
ed the birth of the Christ Child. No
particular reference has been made of
their singing since, for the killing
mania is just as powerful in these
days as it as then. Life then was re-
garded as of little value. People used
to sit ia the shade of gold embroider-
ed panoplies and watch men killed,
just for the fun of it. and we today
make giant cannons, giant ships, aero
planes. and rapid firing guns and then
itch to 60 out and see how they will
work In actual warfare. Parents in
these supposedly enlightened days,
think it is great thing to give their
boys a gun for Christmas gifts, yet If
you suggested to them bowie knives
as New Years present they would
boot at tue idea. Yet the things are
identical kill with and cultivate
the killing taste. Our "peace to-
wards men" will not be obtained by
building arsenals and forts. battle
ships and mammoth guns. II will be-
gin, however, when the idea Of
"Glory to God in the highest" is
reached. There will be no room for
such things when this thought gets SUI
preme in the minds of men.
And we do not mean a combination
of cant, hypocracy and groaning,
hatred of Of the joyful things Of life
and determination to act as quen-
cher on all things pleasant. 1t is lot
necessary nor expected to walk around
dismally with hell and damnation on
your lips but rather with firm deter
mination to give square deal to
your fellow man in all things. Then,
indeed. there will be "Peace on
earth" for there will be no friction,
and then "Glory to God in highest"
will be achieved.

TWO CHRISTMAS GIFTS.

From the South Pittsburg Hustler
we received very neatly printed
Christmas card, holly with berries,
bearing the inscription:
"May the Richest of Blessings
Attend you this Christmas,
And the coming year be
The Happiest of Your Life.
We appreciated the remembrance
very much.
In the same mail we got a badly
printed notification from bank that
a note for thirtv-one dollars would be
due Jan. I. We didn't appreciate
this quite so much as we are cutting
out considerable of our usual Christ
mas expenditures to meet this de-
mand. We decidedly prefer the first
card.

Three Corrections.

Editor News:
Please allow me to correct some
Of the statements appearing in last
weeks News, relative to the early
history OF Whitwell.
The statement that the last crop
grown where the works Of the 7. c.,
/. & r. r. Co. are located was in
1888. Il was in 1885.
The statement that the first business
house was near where the old hall
stood and was occupied by Walker %
Havron Is an error. The first business
house was the lower floor Of the old
hall, and was occupied by Pryor g.
billiard. This building later was CIV
en- to the public for church and lodge
purposes. and another story was put
on.

FOR THE CHRONIC DESTITUTE.

There are a lot of people in this
world who are always destitute be-
cause they failed to put in their labor
ct the golden opportunity. Here is an
account Of man who worked, but yet
today is destitute. 1t also shows how
far-reaching such war as the Euro
pean affair is in its effects.
A small farmer down in Alabama,
not SO very far below Bridgeport,
made cotton crop this year. Nearly
all Of his labor went into the making
Of this crop. Having no capital he
was forced to arrange with a store
keeper to take his cotton from him
when picked, after furnishing him the
necessary supplies to live on while
making the crop.
This part OF the contract was faith
fully filed. The arrangement was
mutual and satisfactory.
But here comes the interesting part.
: The man picked bis cotton, but the
store keeper refused to take it "The
WhKp no bhiu uhc huOCkcu Iu0 DOt-
tom ont of cotton, and can't sell it.
I can't do a thing with it"
The man was in quandary. His
crop was unsaieable, of little value IL
sold at all. he owed for the making of
IL, and he had little or nothing to live
on.
His return home was sad.
Sometime last week the man appear
ed at the same store again

Cant do II. replied the man. "I've
got 10 sell and get the money to pay
for it. ;" swell, them" said the farm
er. 81 am just going to take it. You
can send an officer after me II you
want to. but I am just going to take
&C."
And take It he did.
The meichant sent an officer after
him with warrant When the officer
stepped in the door of the mans home
