CHRISTMAS DREAMS.

~CME tiny elves one Christmas ~ grew nisehievous, it seems, H And broke into the storsroom
 where old Santa keeps his
 dreams And gathered up whole armfuIs of dreams all bright and sweet And started forth to peddIe them ade~n the village street. Oh, you would never, never guess how queerly these dreams sold. Why, nearly all the younger folk bought dreams of being old, And one wee chap in ourIs and kilta, 6 gentle little thing, Invested in a dream 2 bout an awful pi- rate king. A maid who thought her pretty name old fashioned and absurd Bought dreams of names the longest and the queerest ever heard, And, strange to say, lad who owned all sorts of costly toys Bought dreams of selling papers with NHo Ta9SeusSE oI OoJSs Ard then a dream of summer and 6 barefoot boy at play Was bought up very quickly by gen tleman quite gray, And one old lady, smiling through the grief she tried to hide, Bought bright and tender visions of . little girl who died. A ragged little bessar girl, with weary, wistful gaze, Soon chose a Cinderella drsam, with jewels all abIaze. We'll, it wasn't many minutes from the time they came in sight Before the dreams were all sold out and the elves had taken flight.

CHRISTMAS EVE.

"NHE snow is white
 On the roofs tonight,
 The moon looks down with
 her silvery smile, And the wind blows free Through bush and tree And whistles along for mile on mile. And, ah, hark thereI On the midnight air Comes the faintest tinI<le of fairy bells. They are coming near, They are coming here, And their sweet sound swelling Of Joy foretells.
 It Is Santa Claus, And he cannot pause, But down the chimney he quickly slides,
 Each stocking fills Till it almost spills, Then gayly chuokIss and of he alid@e. How happy he, The saint to be Of all the girls and all the boysi He hears kis praise .. Through the holidays AS they eat their sweets and break their toys. So still he smiles And the time beguiles Connecting schemes our hearts to cheer. He loves us all, And great and small Regret that he comes but once year.

Death of MIR. c. E. Quarles.
Mt. Zion, S. G.

Owing to the nature of his malady,
the friends of Mr.. G.. E. Quarles
have known that the sands of life
were running low, and that it was
only a matter of time before the
final summons would come. And
vet when the announcement was
made that he breathed his last early
Sunday morning, there was much
genuine sorrow. His friends had
not become reconciled to the inevi-
table.
Mr.. Quarles was good citizen,
one who was held in high esteem by
his fellowmsn. He possessed sterl-
ing qualities that are found in the
character and life of a man who
stands for those things that, are
high, noble and true. He was a
God-fearing man, who, though, like
all other mortals, he fell short of
the ideal Christian life, made con-
slant struggle to follow the teach
ings of the scriptures. He was al
most a lifelong member of Red
Hill church, and it was there that
the funeral was conducted Monday
at noon by Rev. ]. T. Littlejohn,
his Masonic brethren also officiating
at the grave.
About three years ago Mr..
Quarles moved to Edgefeld to &C.
cept the position of local representa-
tive of the Georgia Cotton Oil Com
pany. He was elected magistrate
last summer of the first magisterial
district. but resigned several weeks
ago on account of failing health.
MIR. Quarles was a member of the
Masonic fraternity, and also Wood
man of the World. Both of these
orders have lost a true and loyal
member.
Mr.. Quarles leaves his devoted
wife, FIVE daughters and five sons,
his youngest child being about five
years of age.

Stamp Out Blind Tigers.

If blind tigers are plying their
unlawful trade in your community,
notify Sheriff Swearingen and his
Ford car will take him in a very
short time to where he is needed.
Should white or colored men haul
whiskey from Aiken or Augusta,
notify the sheriff and he Will in.
tercept them and seize their whis.
key. Deputy Sheriff Homer VII.
liams and Mr.. Shemuel Nicholson,
the jailer, went down in the Col.
liers community one night last week
and made seizure of more than a
dozen quarts that were finding their
way from Augusta to demoralize
the young men of Golfers com
munity.
Let's break up this liquor bust.
ness in Edge6eld county wherever it
exists-in towns and rural districts.
Prohibition has years ago passed
the experimental stage. 1t has been
proven over and over again that
prohibition can be made to prohibit,
and when the law is enforced con.
ditions are improved immeasurably.
The law is being well inforced but
i. can be better inforced if the citi-
zeDs will give the officers of the law
their full cooperation. When you
know that the law is being violated
furnish the proper officer with at
least sufficient information for him
to act upon.
Men OF Edgefeld-men of the
towns and men of the country
let's put stop to liquor selling in
the county. Save the boys and
young men from those who would
corrupt and demoralize them by
selling them mean liquor at an
enormous profit.
There is now less liquor being
sold than at any previous time du.
ring the past five years, but let's
make it less and less.
