Christmas in Tensas parish was
spent quietly but pleasantly; no dis
order of any kind was reported and
no fires occurred, due largely to
careful use Of fireworks. The New
Year is now upon US. May it bring
happiness and prosperity tc oil is our
wish.
A severe electrical storm, accom-
panied by heavy rain, visited this
section on Tuesday night. The thun-
der rolled and crashed and echoed,
the wind whistled and sighed and
moaned, the rain pelted on the roofs
and against windows like bullets
from machine-guns, and the darkness
of night was oft dispelled and
changed in the twinkling Of an eye,
the entire landscape bursting into
the glory of midday splendor, like
unto the lowering of some magnifi-
cent barrage, but through it al some
of our good people, thanks to good
conscience, slumbered and slept, all
unconscious of natures magnificent
sham battle.
Mr.. and Mrs. C. C. Skinner en-
tertained on Xmas evening at their

win Mcdonald was the society event
of the week. The home was beauti-
fully decorated in colors and ferns
appropriate to the Yuletide season,
while the dining room was bedeckea
with holly, moss and Xmas bells,
while lighted candles in silver can
