Nearly all the boys have finished
their tie racks. They are going to be
very useful.
The rest of the material for our
boxes hasn't come, but we are looking
for it every day. We hope that It will
be here by next Tuesday, for we want
to finish them before Christmas. Three
or four boys have finished theirs all
ready.
This year none of the children are
going to give any presents to their
teachers. The reason for this is that
the poorer children who could not give
any presents might feel bad.
Miss Hardy is developing some fine
singers. Miss Mary gave us song
to learn, but she did not know the
tune, so we borrowed little Catherine
Goodman from the Third grade to
teach it to US. We are doing nicely
u:der the instruction of this little
teacher.
The Furlow Grammar school is be-
ginning to take on a Christmas look
just as the stores uptown are. The
walls of all the rooms are gaily deco
rated with the art work of the pupils.
They haved rawlings of poinsetties and
holly on the walls, which makes the
room look pretty. We have on exhi-
bit wall pockets, acndle shades, blot
tiers, desk pads with decorated corners
and calendars. Later the tie-racks
and knife and fork boxes the boys
made in the manual training room will
be on exhibit. There will be recita-
tons and Christmas carols by the pu-
Pills and they are expecting many Wis
itors.
Visitors of the week included Miss
Susie Bell Smith, Mrs. E. F. Nicholson,
Mrs. T. B. Hooks, Mrs. Henry Coleman,
Mrs. Hammond. Mrs. Chambliss, Miss
Florine Scarborough, of DeSoto; Mrs.
H. c. Davis.
Everybody is getting ready for their
Christmas program. There will be
songs, recitations and dialogues in ev-
cry class.
An interesting program will be rem
dered in the Seventh grade. Several
of the children are taking part. There
" II be readings from the Bible, COM
positions read, and songs sung. Fv-
erybody is invited to come next, Thurs
day morning to those holiday exer-
cises, which will begin at ten-thirty in

Breathing Germ Killing Air Endorsed
BY Actual Results
The discovery of Hyomei has
wrought wonderful change in the
treatment of catarrh.
Prior to three years ago the medi-
cines ordinarily employed in the cure
of this disease were drugs, sprays,
lotions, etc. In some instances they
benefited, but the Improvement was
not lasting.
With Hyomei You take into the air
passages of your throat and head a
balsamio air that goes into the mi
nutest cells, and should effectually kill
all germs and microbes of catarrh.
It's purpose Is to enter the blood with
the oxygen, killing the germs in the
blood. and restore health to the whole
system. Many astonishing testimo-
malls have been received from those
who have been helped by Hyomei.
A complete outfit is inexpensive
and includes an inhaler, dropper and
sufficient Hyomei for several weeks
treatment
Perhaps the strongest evidence that
can be given to doubters, is the fact
that Anders Jacobsen has so much
faith in Hyomei that he sells every
package under a positive guarantee
to refund the money if it does not
relieve

"HB first century of colonial life
saw few set times and days
for pleasure. The holy days of
| the English church were as a
stencil to the Puritan nostrils, and their
public celebration was at once rigidly
forbidden by the laws Of New Eng
land.
| New holidays were not quickly
evolved, and the sober gatherings for
matters of church and state for a time
| took their place. The hatred of "wan-
ton bacchanalian Christmases' spent
throughout England, as Cotton said, in
| ''reveling, dicing, carding, masking,
mumming, consumed in computations,
in interludes, in excess of wine, in
mad mirth," was the natural reaction
Of intelligent and thoughtful minds
which had ceased to be a Christian
holiday, but was dominated by a lord
of misrule who did not hesitate to in
wade the churches in time of service
in his noisy revels and sports. English
churchmen long ago revolted against
such Christmas observance.
OF the first pilgrim Christmas we
know but little, save that it was spent.
as was many later one, in work.
BY 1869 the Puritans had grown to
hate Christmas more and more. It
was, to use Shakespeare's words, 1.-The
bug that feared them ALL" The very
name smacked to them Of incense,
stole and monkish custom. Any person
who observed it as holiday by for
bearing Of labor, feasting or any other
way was to pay 5 shillings fine, so
DESTROYS were they to "beate down ev-
cry sprout of Episcopacie"
Judge Sewall watched jealousy the
feeling of the people with regard to
Christmas and roted with pleasure on
each succeeding year the continuance
Of common traffic throughout the day.
Such entries as this show his attitude:
Dec. 25. 1856. Carts come to town
and shops open as usual. Some some
how observe the day, but are vexed,
believe. that the body of people pro-
fame 1t, and blessed be God no author
ity yet to compel them to keep it,
When the Church Of England estab-
lished Christmas services in Boston q
few years later we find the judge
waging hopeless war against Governor
Belcher over it and hear him praising
his son for not going with other boy
friends to hear the novel and attrac-
tive services. He says, II dehort mine
from Christmas keeping and charge
them to forbear."-Alice Morse Earle.
