SEEMS TO ME

Seems to me the stars shine brighter
Christmas night;
Seems to me the snow lies whittier
Christmas night;
That the solemn trees stand straigher,
And the frosty moon sets later,
And the hush is stiller, greater,
Christmas night.
Seems to me sad things are fewer
Christmas night;
Seems to me glad things are truer
Christmas night;
Seems to me the bells ring clearer
From the steeple, louder, nearer
Seems to me the whole worlds dearer
Christmas night.

SANTA CLAUS is COMING

Old Santa Claus is. coming
The time is very near
Before we realize it
Old Santa will be here.
He'll bring us sleds and wagons,
And nuts and sugar plums,
And dolls, and furs, and dresses,
And balls, and swords, and drums.
He'll come when we are sleeping,
Tucked in our beds so white,
And all the stars are peeping
At this, our Christmas night.
He'll come with smiles and, blessings
Along the milky way,
And stop at every dwelling
Where little children stay.
He'll garnish trees with presents
And, while the world is still,
With gifts the children asked for
Each stocking he will fill.
But, better than all presents,
He'll bring to US again
The heartfelt Christmas wishes
Of sGood will unto men,"

OF the republican national ticket in
the last election, though he was
elected as a progressive because OF
local differences.
Many objections to the coalition
plan were heard today among the
republicans, who said it should be
agreed to only as last resort and
argued that the party, now in the
course of reorganization, could not
hope to profit by compromise with
the democrats.
Both sides still claim a majority,
both hoping for the vote of Repre-

gressive democrat. Representative
Randall, prohibitionist, of California,
and Representative London, socialist,

Dying, He Confesses
A Murder for Which

Columbia, Miss, March ia
deathbed confession by Joseph Beard,
farmer, announced today by the
sheriff's Office, cleared of suspicion,
William Purvis, who twenty-five
years ago, escaped death by hanging
after conviction of murder, only be-
cause the moose about his neck
slipped, when the scaffold trap was
sprung.
Purvis was found guilty of killing
from ambush William Buckley. When
he fell from the scaffold unframed
after the rope slipped, spectators who
thought it was an intervention Of
Providence, induced the authorities
to put him back in jail and an ap-
peal to the governor brought COM
mutation of sentence. Several years
later Purvis was pardoned. He now
lives in Lamar county.
Beard, dying of pneumonia, con-
fessed Sunday that he and two other
men killed Buckley. The sheriff said
he knew where to locate the others,
but declined to say whether any
action would be started against
them,

Appeal for Money
To Complete the
Old PEOPLES Home

Six thousand dollars more is need
ed to complete the new building of
the Old Peoples home, located on
the five and one-half acres of ground
donated by the late George A. JOS
Ign, near the Deaf and Dumb school.
A three-story brick and stone, mod
ern structure has been erected on this
site and with the funds raised for its
completion, will be ready for occu-
pancy early in the summer
The new building, when completed,
will have cost $4,000 OF this sum
all but $4,000 has been paid, and it
is to secure this that the appeal is
made at this time. In the new build
ing there are seventy-hve rooms,
most of them single, thus giving the
house a capacity for taking care OF
something like eighty people.
The old building on Writ street has
been sold and possession will be
given as soon as the new structure is
ready for occupancy.
Parties who desire to contribute to
the fund for raising the $4,000 may
send their money to Mrs. E. R.
Hume, chairman of the building
committee, or E. M. Morseman,
treasurer of the building fund.
