 Excellent Program

Practically every one in town turned out on Christmas Eve to attend the program given by the school children at the Pioneer Hall. That it was well worth get ting out for was atteSted by the generous applause that followed each number. Every child did himself proud" in his recitation Little Graham Trimm, who made his first appearance on the stage deserves especial mention for the eXpesSiVe manner in which he proclaimed his Love For San ta."

When the old saint was given a chance to spend rest ful afternoon while looking after the house for Mrs. Santa, he de cided that delivering ,he goods" wasn't half the battle. Be it said to his credit, however. that he was far more reSourceful in dea ing with the questions that came up than any real husband has ev CT proven to be under similar cir cumStantes.

a place where the securities are
available to the public. While
25,000 persons already hold stocks

The attractiveness of these Sc

 Kid Gleason, ex-manager of the White Sox, and one of the old comics of John McGraw, is named as the new eidler of the blacksnake.
 Although Gleason specilaizes in whitening sarcasm at which no rookie has ever yet got the better of him, he still rattles a rough set of knuckles, almost as well as he did in the days when every ball game was likely to become beautiful afternoons fight ing.
 There was also a report in New York Friday that Walter Johnson, after. IF seasons as pitcher, would become manager of the Washington club next season.
 Johnson's entire big league career has been spent with Washington. Donie Bush, the infielder, was given the job of managing the club last season, and the stockholders thought he didn't worry enough about his trouhles

COFFEE ELEVEN WINS FROM TUSCUMBIA IN TITLE GAME
SchIosser Gets Out Of Sick Bed To Play And Scores Lone Touchdown On Fum- bIed Ball

FLORENCE, Ala. Dec. 7.-(Spe- cial.)-The Coffee High school foot ball team defeated the Tuscumbia High school aggregation here this afternoon by score of to o, there- by winning the championship of north Alabama and maintaining it's record of not having its goal line crossed during the 1923 season. The hoys from Tuscumbia were a little heavier than those on the local team, but Coffee Highs star player, Schlos- ser. scooped up tumble by Beck in the second quarter on Tuscumbia's 35-yard line and beat it out for the touchdown. The star play was all the more spectacular to the hundreds of fans who witnessed the game be- cause it was known that he left his sick bed in order to play in today's game.
 The crowd was by far the largest that ever attended game here. Large numbers from Sheffield and Tuscumbia were present and interest was at fever heat because of the controversy over the north Alabama championship, which the local team claimed and which the conference in Birmingham decided last week would depend upon today's game.
 At the COnCluSlOll Ol lue eStIue dQ- hiring fans bore Coach Hibbet across the field on their shoulders, and their cry of "On to Birmingham" was echoed by the crowds in the grand stand Coffee High will compete for the championship of the state in BirA mingham next Saturday.

 Tuscumbia-Davis, center; Me Cloud, left guard; Wagon, right guard; Miller, left tackle; Phillips, right tackle; Archer left end; Mead ows, right end; Cook, quarterback; Beck, left halfback; L. Kicks, right halfback; w. Kicks, fullback.
