There is one thing you will never
get Northerner to believe, and that
is that Southern people do not use the
term "you-all" when only one person is
addressed. People who have lived in
the South all their lives have never
heard a Southerner use the expression
except in the second person plural
but what's the use? Let us not de-
prive our Northern friends of their
most cherished illusion; let them have
it their way and be happy. Don't you
all say so, sir?

A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE

The poinsettias nodded each scarlet
head
In the Christmas morning breeze,
And mingled their color, so warm
and red,
With the gloss of the orange
trees.
The air was sweet with the breath
of the rose,
And the jessamine, waxy white,
Peeped out from the sheen
OF it's dark rich green
And smiled at the mrning light.
The world seemed glad and the gay
birds sang
In the dew of the Christmas morn,
And this is the message the joy-bells
rang:
Long ago the Christ was born;
Blest peace on earth, good will to
Be kind one to another;
Bury the goad
And tighten the load
OF thy heavy burdened brother"
The poinsettias peeped through the
window pane
of the mansion, stately, grand,
And what they saw was dark, REQ
| stain
On the name of this Christian
| land.
On every face in that gilded room
| Was discomfort and pride,
And selfish heart
Which took no part
In the woes of the world outside
IA little bird perched on the wav!
palm
And slipped of the morning dew,
And he chirped to the century plant
so calm,
The secret Til tell to you:
If you want to be happy on Christ
mas day,
With Joy that will satisfy,
Just make some heart lighter,
| And make some life brighter
Now, suppose you and just try

citrus industry-at that time practic-

warm, coaxing the sap into the trees

cold, which came in February, 1895,

Hunickes' Hyacinths
Beautiful Spectacle

The west end of the Otto Hunickes
on the east cliff front, Palisade, pre-
sents this spring one of the most
beautiful displays of hyacinths yet
shown in Palisade garden. The
roadway leading up from the beauti-
full entrance gates to the house, is
bordered with triple row of hya-
cinths on either side, in pink, white
and light blue. Near the house is a
large circular bed of the same flow
ers. They have been at their best
this week, and have been greatly adj
mired by those who have gone over
in that direction.
Incidentally, the Hunickes have pur-
chased the lot to the north of their
present holdings, and the premises
is the largest in Palisade, being 300
by 400 feet, the former dimensions
fronting on the Hudson river, where
they have one Of the finest views of
New York possible to obtain from
the top of the Palisades anywhere.
They will construct large conserva-
tory on the new property, and Bob
blink & Atkins, the Rutherford horti-

The Fort Lee Athletics opened
their baseball season last Sunday on
the home grounds by administering
a smashing defeat to the Arrow A. c.,
of Palisades Park. Mayor White

ball. The score was Is to 2. A
feature of the game was the heavy
hitting of the local team, which prom
ises well for victorious season. A
big crowd was on hand.

from the outset, and was quickly re-
placed by Schokoff. who was not a
