SAYS WISE NEWS GIFTS
 SYMBOLS TO LIVE BY
Drf George Stuart Was Community
 Club Speaker On Thursday

pr. George Stuart, pastor of the First Methodist church, spoke on the Gifts of the Wise Men,' at the Com munity clubs regular weekly lunch con in the ball room of the Tutwiler hotel at 12:3O Thursoay afternoon.
 w. w. Wilkerson. president of the club. introduced pr. Stuart and added that the doctor, though he had been feeling badly, came to the luncheon when he found it was too late to change the program.
 Gold, frankincense and myrrh the three gifts of the wise men. repre- sents what Christmas should be" said pr. Stuart. Gold represented
 business, he said, and added: "Ev- cry man should have some business; the only difference between a rich man, who does not work and vaga- bond is clothes. Christmas time, near the end of the year, is when the business man should look over his accounts and see how he is doing. One who spends more during the year than he has made is on the road to vagabondage.
 'Frankincense is the perfume used in the east to make the home sweet, a social perfume. Whenever smelled it means dearness of domestic life. Christmas time is when this feeling should be most near to us.
 "Myrrh a perfume like the tube rose, was used in burial, and meant sorrow and grief. In every home some sorrow comes and we should encourage happiness with something sweet, a solace of better world or 1 the sweetness of this. Close the door on this sadness and make the best and most out of the least and worst. Make this Christmas pure gold, the home life sweet, and some bad places better"
 The clubs Christmas Eve dance, an annual affair, at the Country club, was mentioned among other an- nouncements. Julian Smith an- nounced the formation of the Anti Bonus league of ex-service men.

TWO YOUTHS CONDEM NED
Georgia Boys Of IS And 20 Sentenced
 To Hang For Murder

BUTLER, Ga, Dec. 20.-Granting of motion for new trial was the one remaining straw of life to which two Taylor county youths were clinging today following verdict of guilty and sentenced to hang on January IS for the murder of H. F. Underwood, medicine salesman. Hear ing of the motion has been set for January 15 at Columbus, Ga.
 Meantime, Willie Jones, IS and Gervis Bloodworth, 20, were consid- erably dazed and shaken as they re- posed in the county jail here to await the outcome of last efforts of attorneys to save their lives.
 The jury. composed mostly of farmers, refused to listen to request of defense attorneys for mercy of the court after hearing the story of the crime, and assessed the supreme penalty.
 Underwood was slain with shot gun early in December, the load of buckshot entering the back of the head, causing death instantly.
 The case was closed abruptly late yesterday when defense attorneys announced the youths admitted charges brought by the state and en- tered pleas of guilty, depending upon mercy of the court.
