The embers into ashes drift.

And piing fast in many a rift.
White robed is now the cedar tree
Where once the catblrd nightly sanq,
And from the caves by two and three
The icicIes like arrows hang.

Fit, cross and dance amid the gloom,
And streaks OF ghostly color fall
In changing hues about the room.

Within their webs the closer cling,
And from the manteI's oaken rim
A pair of chIdrens stockings swing.

BRINGING FATHER

POPULAR COMEDY DUE TO MAKE
A BIG HIT WITH FOLKS
HERE.

Manager Gus Hill has launched an
other winner apparently in his latest
production, Bringing Up Father" a
new three act singing and dancing
comedy suggested by the popular car
toons of George McManus, the IA
nous artist. The latest offering will
be the next attraction at the New
Grand Theatre on Thursday, Dec. 16.
In point of plot, interest and continu-
ity, the vehicle is easily the best that
Mr.. Hill has fostered in his long and
successful career as surveyor of
wholesome theatricals. His aim has
been to produce entertainment on a
scale calculated to appeal to the
masses as we'll as the classes. There
are no tagging moments in the fun
which accrues from the situations as
we'll as the lines of the piece which
has been pronounced one of the best

/, ENJOY CHRISTMAS.

There is no good reason why the
people of Maury county should not en-
| 10y their Christmas this year enjoy
it in rational, sensible and cheerful
manner, The past year has been a
good one for the people Of this favor
! ed section. Good seasons and a rich
] soil brought forth an abundant har-
vest of all of the crops that are grown
in the county. The markets have
been good and what we have harvest
ed has been sold at remuneratiye
prices Everything that the farmer
| has had, this year has sold at a price
| that should have returned a small
profit Wheat and corn and cattle
and hogs and sheep, compared with
the prices received few years ago,
have commanded returns that should
bring prosperity to their growers and
feeders. Our country has been at
peace, while much of the world has
been at war Nowhere in the United
states have we had those terrible dis
asters that touch the heart OF the
whole nation. We have been especial
ly blessed in this section. There
have been no hard times" nor any Sc
rious calamities Had it not been for
the pestferous politicians and their
everlasting multiplying of elections
there would hardly have been speck
upon our horizon during the past
twelve months. In time the plain
folks are going to take charge of af
fairs in this country long enough to
tell the politicians that so far shall
you go but no further.
1t was never intended that one
should enjoy this festive season in
boisterous conduct or drunken ca
rousal Perish the thought forever
that bottle of Ticker or an egg
nog are necessary adjuncts of the ma
tai day of our Lord and Savior. One
has never caught the real spirit and
the true significance of this world
holiday who thinks that it cannot be
properly observed without an indul- !
gence of the worst features of ones
appetite. The most satisfactory man
ner in which one might find real pleas
ure in Christmas is through service !
to others If at this occasion one
makes lighter the burden of a fell |
low or brings JOY to even the hum i
blest of his kind he will find a pleas
ure that will be beyond expression

CHRISTMAS GIVING.

If one will shop early, but at home
and buy only according to ones
means this dreaded thing of Christ
mas shopping will not prove very
Nuch OF task after all The trouble
about the Christmas buying is that
we wait until the very last minute,
until the stocks are all picked over,
the clerks are tired and all are press
I'd for time. Again too many of US
attempt to buy more than we can al
ford. We make our Christmas buying
. real burden when it should be a
pleasure.
There is no reason whatever why
one should make Christmas a burden.
To buy more than one can afford, re-
Quiring strict economy and probably
some sacrifices during the coming
year to make both ends meen, is to
make dreaded burden of Christmas.
1t is the time of all times when we
should be happy but no man can be
happy who has financially embarrass-
ed himself in order to give presents
and to make display altogether out
of proportion to his income. A small
gift, even card or a pleasing greet
ing, is better than an eXtravagaut ex-
penditure that may ultimately cause
one to deprive his family of some rn9l
necessity.
In Christmas buying, as in all 9TH
er things at this season of the year
one should be rational and conserva-
tive. If these suggestions are follow
cd one will be very much gratifed at
the increased enjoyment which this
Christmas viii bring.

TRADE AT HOME.

Never before have there been sc
many reasons why the people of Co
lumbia and Maury county should
trade at home as exist at this time
For the first time in the history OF
the nation Americans are beginning
to appreciate the fact that they
should be independent of every other
nation in so far as growing and man.
ufacturing everything for the public
needs is concerned. We can produce
everything at home if only we try. We
have never had to do so until this
war, but in one respect it has been a
blessing for it has taught us the ne
cessity for providing for our needs
at home,
What is true of the nation is true
i'll a measure of the community. 1t
should be the patriotic desire and
purpose of every one in Maury county
to keep at home every possible dollar.
Money that leaves us seldom returns.
The South, had it realized its great
possibilities for manufacturing after
the war between the states, could now
have been the richest section of the
union We have too many years ship
ped our immense stores of raw ma
terial to the North and East there to
be made into the finished product and
then brought back to our people. That
has involved an expenditure in trans.
portation and in profits to the manu-
facturers that should have been kept
at home. What is true of the whole
South is of course true of the county.
Money kept at home proves a benefit
and blessing to all of the people of
the community. Every time any legit-
innate enterprise or business venture
prospers at home it adds to the gen.
eral welfare and store of wealth of
all the community.
Columbia merchants are progress
sive and modern. They give no le-
Ultimate excuse for trading away
from home They are able and will
ing to supply all of the home de-
mands, They have stocks that would
do credit to cities many times the
size of Columbia They are accom-
modating, they extend every possible
accommodation in the way of credit
and otherwise to the customers at
home. These are accommodations
that are not secured when one goes
away from home to do his trading.
The prosperity of the home mer-
chant adds to the assets of the home
banks and we all know, every farmer
especially knows what an asset
bank is to the community.
The larger the balance carried in the
banks by the home merchants the
more capital there is available for the
agricultural interests of the county.
1t is of prime Importance to all of
US to keep all the money we can at
home, but it is especially important
to the farmers, who are the founda-
ton of the wealth of this community.
We know that when a farmer needs
capital to carry on his feeding or graz
ing operations he goes to the local
bank. The home banks are willing

of The Herald as an advertising me-

The past year, taking it as whole,
has been one Of the best that The
Herald has enjoyed. But for the tenn
porary paralysis Of business in the ear
ly part Of the year, due to the catas-
trophe in Europe, it would have been
the best year in our history. AS it
was, everything considered, The Her
aid has no right to complain. On the
contrary it is deeply grateful to gen
erous and loyal constituency for the
showing that it was enabled to make
during the twelve months and prom
ises that IN the future it will strive,
as it has always striyen, for the best
interests of the people.
1t is a matter OF congratulation for
the management as it no doubt Will
-be to the people OF the county, whom
The Herald serves, to know that it
has been aDle to publish during Its
entire lie, fearless, earnest and
consistent advocate OF the best IN
