Stories Of The
Christmas Carols
Prepared for Community Service by
Pref. Peter w. Dykema, Uni
ycrsity of Wisconsin,
Madison, Wis.

Christmas Carols is term used to de-
scribe a large variety of songs which are
to be used during the Christmas season.
They are of two main typeS-the reiglous
and the convivial: the one celebrating the
birth of Jesus: the other exalting mlrth
and feasting. Only lately has much atten-
ton been given to this material by serious
musicians. During the 18th century the
carol literature was of the humblest kind
Such material as was available was
handed on by tradition. Many of the
older ones have doubtless been entirely
lost and many that we now hear nave
been = considerably modernized. Davis
Gilbert seems to have been the first per
son who attempted TO fix these vanishing
memories of the past.
The Reformer publishes herewith the
fourth of list of 10 of the best Christmas
Carols which are to be used In Brattle-
bOrO during the Christmas season under
the inspiration of Community Service:
O Little Town of Bethlehem.
One of the finest Christmas carols of
the less traditional groups is Little
Town of Bethlehem. by Phillips Brooks,
the beloved Boston divine (1S35-lS93l
This was written for Sunday school sing
ing when the composer was bishop of the
Episcopal diocese of Massachusetts, He
first sent il out anonymously. but as the
hymn gained favor the authorship became
! known.
/ The words of this carol well portray
! the spirit of simplicity and tranquility OF
Bethlehem, and its inhabitants who Sc
/ little suspected that n King was in then
midst. Although written especially as 9
Christmas song. it is of such a nature that
il is often used on other occasions.
Many musical settings of this beautiful
poem have been made. but the two tina
are most used are by the English com
poser. Joseph Barnby (whcse Sweet ant
Low is a universal favoritc). and TIN
American composer, Louis II. Redne
(1S31-190S).
O little town Of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie;
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep.
The silent stars go by:
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is giv'n,
So God imparts TO human hearts
The blessings of His heav'n.
No ear may hear His coming.
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive Him still
The dear Christ enters in.
..
. holy Child of bethlehem,
Descend to us. we pray;
Cast out cur sin and enter in.
BE born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell;
o cone 20 us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emanuel, -
-Wortissby Phillips Brooks.

M. H. PATTERSON
 SHOT TO DEATH
Ed Harris Fired Several Shots into Victims Body in Self
 Defense, He States.

Marshal ii. Patterson, May or of Jelks, is dead as the re- suit of several pistol shots fired by Ed Harris, alderman of Jelks and an employee in the office of Mullens Whole sale Grocery. The tragedy took place about 4:35 p. m. in the office of the railway sta- ton at Jelks this, Friday, after noon, May 20, 1921, Agent I. N. Faulkner and J. w. Mullens were the only witnesses.
 Seven bullet holes were made in the victims breast and abdomen, one in the right side, one in the right hip, two through the right arm and one through the right hand. It is thought probably that the shots which went through the arm and hand were three of those which entered the body.
 It is reported that MT. Pat terson went into the station with MT. c. E. Riggs of Mo- Crory who left after receiving an express package. MT. Pat terson, it is said, was repri- manding Agent Faulkner for some of his actions toward him recently when Messrs Harris and Mullens entered, whereup- on MT. Patterson directed some remarks to MT. Harris and the fatal shooting took place.
 Esq. R. A. Jones was called and acting as coroner en- paneled a jury to hold an in quest. A 38 Colts pistol was found on the victims body and Harris states, it Is reported, that he fired in self defense. The following men composed the jury: R. E. Brandon, foreman, Ed Lindsey, Henry Hall, Berry Holder, Tom Dye and N. J. Bass. Their verdict was that the death of the de- ceased was caused by gun shot wounds at the hands of Ed Harris.
 The deceased was one of the best known men in Wood ruff County, having served sev- eral terms as sheriff, one as state senator and representa- tive. He was postmaster and mayor of his town and also president of the school board there. He carried $17,00O.OO insurance and leaves a wife, one son, MT. Bennett Patterson who is in the government ser vice at Washington, D. C., four daughters, Misses Mil dred Patterson who is teach ing in Houston, Texas, Olive, principal of the high school at Locksburg, Ark, and Oriel and Eloise at Galloway Col lege, Searcy; one brother, MT. Leonard c. Patterson of Jelks, and one sister, Mrs. w. H. Jimerson of Conway.
 We join the many friends of the bereaved family in ex- tending heartfelt sympathy.

little silken dainties. So they
locked Bill up in a corral and
there he has remained.

Summer School
Doors Close
This sAfernoon

Thirty-hvei hundred children
enrolled in the summer, or va
cation. schools will begin their
belated vacation this afternoon,
when the institutions close. Ap-
propriate closing exercises will
be held in virtually all the
schools.
Approximately 1900 of the
$500 children are at the Central
Summer High School, and 500 are
at Dunbar. About 1900 are in
the white graded schools ana
500 in the colored.
These schools opened July
for a six weeks intensive course,
in order to give children who
failed in their studies during the
regular term an opportunity to
make up their WORK. II is estI-
mated that two-thirds of the
children will win promotions to
higher grades when the schools
open for the new term Septem-
Der -. Many of the other chill
dren. it is said did not enroll to
secure promotion, but merely to
strengthen themselves in their
work.
One OF the features of the
closing exercises will be an ex-
hibition of the Industrial work
done during the summer course
by the children at various
schools. The best products of the
children's handiwork will be ex-
hibited later at 722 Thirteenth
street.

they entered it Abe lay at full length

bolt of blue denim as he studied a

shirt and one suspender and hnsey

we're covered only by his blue yarn

1t was a general store full of exotic
lavors, chiefly those of tea, coffee,
tobacco, muscovado sugar and molas-
ses. There was a counter on each
side. Bolts of cloth, mostly calico,
were piled on the far end of the right
counter as one entered and the near
end held a showcase containing a
display Of cutlery, pewter spoons,
jewelry and fishing tackle. There
were double windows on either side
Of the rough board door with Its wood
en- latch. The left counter held a
case filled with threads, buttons,
combs, colored ribbons, and belts and
j~ew's-harps. A balance stood In the
middle of this counter. A chest OF
tea. a big brown jug, a box of can
dies, a keg and a large wooden pail
occupied its farther end. The shelv-
ing on it's side walls was filled by
straw hats, plug tobacco, bolts OF
cloth, pills and patent medicines and
paste-board boxes containing shirts,
handkerchiefs and underwear. At the
rear end of the store was a large fire
place. There were two chairs near
the fireplace, both of which were oc-
cupied by a man who sat In one
while his feet lay on the other. he
wore a calico shirt with a fancifui
design of morning-glories on 1t print
