The evening before-that is, on
Christmas eve, there were beauti-
full Christmas trees in the Baptist,
Methodist and Presbyterian chur-
ches. They were resplendent with
gifts and decorations. Each
church was crowded with people,
the elderly ones having come to
enjoy the happiness of the child
ren and their beautiful exercises.
These exercises consisted Of adj
dresses, prayers, recitations, So
los and choruses, all breathing of
the spirit of Christmas. 1t would
take whole page of this paper
to do full justice to these observ-
ances and the participants there
in. All who attended them were
benefited in spirit and in mind;
they were conscious partakers in
the brightness and happiness that
prevailed, and they went away

Punta Gorda' s Christmas

The morning was bright and
warm, the evening cloudy, with a
slight drizzle of rain. 1t was a
very quiet, but very pleasant
Christmas. Everyone, both young
and old, seemed to- enjoy it.
There was notable absence of
noise-no fire works, no drunken
ness. If any one got drunk, he
hic himself, and no one saw him.
The post office, the two banks
and most of the stores were closed
during the day. Many citizens
loitered and chatted along the
streets. Some went auto riding.
some went fishing, SOME staid at
home, and all gave themselves up
to a quiet and decent i enjoyment
of the day. In practically ev-
cry home, there was a feast.

Inconsistency of Candidates

an are urging his reelection, one
of the grounds being that, as ev-
cry senator has had two terms,
Senator Bryan should have two.
They forget that in the campaign
lof 1904. Senator Talliaferro ran
for his second term against Hon.J.
In c. Stockton. Mr.. Bryan un-
doubtedly voted for Mr.. Stock
ton. In the senatorial campaign
two years ago, in which Senator
Fletcher was running for re-elec-
tion against Hon. j. N. G. Stock
ton, Senator Bryan will not state
that he voted for second term
! in favor of Senator Fletcher. Mr..
Bryan could not have done so, be-
cause, in the campaign of Senator
Bryan, Mr.. Stockton and Mr..
Blount in 1910, Mr.. Stockton lost
out in the first primary, and in
the second primary, practically
elected Mr.. Bryan by issuing a
circular letter, advising his
friends to vote for Mr.. Bryan. 1t
seems that Mr.. Bryan favors a
second term for senator's only
when it is applicable to himself.
Senator Bryan is the only sena-
tor who has ever tried TO give up
the position of senator to be-
come judge of the United States
Court, a position for life, afford
ing better pay. Any presumed
benefits to the state through
length of service in senator, Mr..
Bryan was willing to surrender
for the assured benefits to himself
in lifetime position.

FORT LEE BOROUGH CLUB.

At a recent meeting OF the Bor-
ough Club, several points of local
interest were discussed. One was the
three-cent ferry fare question. This
question has been before the public
for some time now, and although the
motion was passed by the proper au-
thorities compelling the Public Serv-
ice Company to comply with the
lower fare rate, the Company, by
a series OF strategic legal movements,
has up to the present time succeeded
in putting off the inevitable. The
Company has signifed it's willingness
to make a compromise so that COM
muters will receive the benefit of the
three-cent fare; but all other patrons
will have to pay the regular rate.
The Borough Club has placed itself
on record as opposed to any comprom-
Use whatsoever.
The ever-present question of taxa
ton, which has bothered people since
the days of Moses, and which will
bother them to the end of the world,
was again brought up and discussed.
No motions were passed concerning
taxation, however.

Il. f. BROWN TALKS
ABOUT THE SOUTH.
PaLisadidn Says Business is
Better, Boys Playing Ball
and Jay Birds Singing.

r. r. Brown, of Palisade, returned
February 18th from trip to ST..
Louis, Birmingham, and Atlanta
While away, he had good opportun-
ity to study the conditions which the
war has produced in the South and
the vicinity around St. Louis.
Things are rather dull in st. Louis
at the present time. 1t is large
distributing center, and depends
largely for it's success in this line up
on the farmers in Arkansas, Texas,
and the southwestern states. These
farmers are not buying as much {.
usual this year on account Of the cot
ton situation, which the war has
caused. However, the horse market
at St. Louis is doing big business be-
cause of the demand for cavalry
horses in Europe.
Mr.. Brown said that Birmingham
was clearly the coming metropolis of
the new South. 1t is great steel
and iron center, being the Pittsburgh
of the South in this respect, and also
in the matter of smoke and dirt. Biz
mingham has the largest office build
ng south of Ohio, the one in question
being twenty-seven stories in height.
This city's skyline compares favor
ably with that of any city south of
the Ohio river.
At the present time, however, At
lanta has larger population than
Birmingham, and is thriving bust
ness and railroad center. Its bust
ling business district reminds one
somewhat of New York.
At this season of the year, the
boys are playing baseball in Birming-
ham, and the jay-birds are singing
in Atlanta. Everywhere in the South
the trees and shrubs are budding.
The fact that there is an increase
in the wheat acreage in the South this
year indicates that there will be an
appreciate decrease in the cotton
acreage, this condition being direct
result of the war in Europe.
