Just Among Ourselves

TIME Tri-Weekly Journal wishes its read
ers not Merry Christmas but a Hap
py Christmas, and a prosperous New

the feeling that should prevail On the ami
versary of the birth of our Lord and Savior

happiness-true happiness that comes from
love and service.
Let us, then, wish for you Happy
Christmas

Tri-Weekly Journal to a dear relative or
friend as a Christmas present. To each per-
son so remembered, we sent a personal let
ter telling of the gift. You may be quite
sure that we carefully entered all the names
properly. 1t seems to us a years subscrip-
ton makes a fine present 1t will be a

qests for changes of address, Looks

are moving as we'll as the new address, We
have written this hundreds of times. The

Der 16, 1924. When I sent you my renewal
two weeks ago I meant for you to give me

and two papers don't do me any good
The first paper was ordered in the name
OF M. A. Jones, Lavonia, Ga. The second
paper was ordered in the name of Gus
Jones, Route 8, Lavonia.
They were for the same person, but how
could we guess that?
In the same mail came an order for The
TrI-Weekly Journal for eighteen months
Enclosed was rs cents in coin and SIS
bill. The sender had made a mistake and
had put in a SIS bill instead of 81. We
sent back 81 by registered letter. 1t cost
us IL cents and half an hour of time to dc
this, but we were glad to go to the trouble
necessary to relieve the anxiety of oul
friend.
But, why will people persist in the prac-
tice of sending currency through the mail!
without registering the letters?
