Xmas.

Nmna.
I'm glad that Christmas comos but once a
year
With all It's tInsels aud its spangled trees.
That only have TO shako with fear
And feel that goneness In my Quaklng
knees!
That my credulity could stand tho strain.
For even my purse Is inside out,
And shall never I'll 1t up again!
II Christmas more often-gods forbid!
once every twelvemonth Is enough for
me!
Let's have IL over. then clap down the lid
And store the gimcracks from the whiting
tree.
Let's struggle through. and stand it we
may
But If 1t comes more frequently than now,
Dig me grave and let my carcass lay!
I've gathered things do not want nor
need.
And choked my ire. pretending to enthuse:
I've given stun that made my bank roll
bleed
use,
I've stripped myself, and they have all gono
broke
To keep illusions fond OF Christmas cheer,
But cannot appreciate the joke
I'm glad that Christmas comes but once
year.

TO the Editor "f The Timex- D:spa tch /:
Sir.-We noticed In your :,aper uf
yesterday that an investigating COM
mittee had recommended the dis
charge OF J. 4. Ackerley. or Camp No.
y. Of Orange. Va.
MIR. Ackpricy was In charge Of -
convict camp In this county for about
three years and was one OF the most
chicient road builders the county has
ever had. and kept the camp In good
condition. We believe he treated tho
prisoners uS kindly IA was consistent
with good discipline. While he was
here we knew of no bad treatment
OF prisoners. and one OF the under.
signed %as a guard ut the camp for
about. four months. He states that
while Mr.. Ackerley was n strict dis
ciplinarian, the men were always
treated kindly and considerably and
the camp kept I'm excellent condition.
we believe that II Mr.. Ackeripy liz
discharged the state will lose one nf
the best highway constructors in tn,

Amelia County when he was trans
fcrred elsewhere.
