Christmas has come and gone for
the year 1915. The day dawned
beautifully bright, calm and pleas
ant, though there were some clouds
floating around.
Christmas festivities began
Thursday at Miss Mary Townes
little school, called Cemetery
Hill" Miss Mary and her mother
decorated the tree, and Santa Claus
came and called the children up to
receive the gifts which were very
numerous and beautiful. The tree
was beautiful with lovely orna-
ments, myriad lights and glittering
tinsel. Miss Mary invited the other
children of the neighborhood but
from some cause we have not learn.
ed, only Mrs. Briggs and Howard,
Mrs. S. V. Bunch and Mrs. Harry
Bunch with her four children at
tended. Of course Mrs. Townes was
already there and we forgot to say
the older folks were invited to
bring the children. The older ones
were made happy to see how very
happy the dear little children were
as they went home laden down with
good and pretty things. According

say there never were four more for
tunate children in Edge6eld county
than those are. They have ll5
presents between the four of them.
Mary and Emma were, the happiest
little girls in the world with their
four dolls each to nurse and get to
sleep. Neritable little mothers. Oh

always be as happy for Gkristnas
