A friend of the Christmas Oppor-

Benevolence to save these fourteen

He says that, reduced to arithmetical

1t is as If some Lady Bountiful
should invite 77,745 persons to a
Christmas breakfast, and yet he says
IL means much more than that, be.

warm clothing, besides companionship
and a mothers training for the fifty

thus translated into terms OF human

BAD FOR THE G. O. p.

The G. o. C. sympathizes Vith
the G. o. p. 1t looks as II the
latter has lost the State of Georgia.
We note serious split in the
ranks of the Republican party in
that State. 1t all comes over
patronage. We should hate very
much to see the Republican party
lose one of its Vitat States IN the
South.
We observe that SAM SIMPLE"
wrote . Dear Me" letter some time
ago, and won some theater tickets.
In his letter to himself Sam Is quito
angry that he should turn to the

never mind, Sam; that Is q failing in
which you have plenty Of company.

though, are partial to carats, the

We do not commend this business

difficult to get the facts. We
don't know why women are so
