HOLLY AND MISTLEToE

Holly grows in almost every coun.
try, and because of its thorns and its
blood-red berries was associated, cen.
turtles ago, with the Passion Of Christ
Mistletoe, which grows on oak trees
used to be held sacred by pagans be-
cause the oak was supposed to be the
symbol of their god, Thor. At the
time of the great pagan winter festi-
walls it was customary to decorate with
all KINGS of green things. When peo-
pie became Christians they held onto
some of the old customs and continued
to decorate their homes and places
of worship with greenery. Holly,
which was easily secured at Christmas
time, naturally became favorite, and
the mistletoe failed to be forgotten,
though it is not used in churches be-
cause it was once so closely allied
with pagan ceremonies.

Tough cut out in the form Of little

t was the custom of bakers to present
20 their customers at Christmas.
"Yule" is derived either from Scandi-
1avian or Anglo-Saxon and there are
tour times as many explanations or
yuesses at the original meaning of the
word as there are letters in it. 1t has
been said that "yule-log" is a corrup-
lion of "ale-log," and it is set down in
old chronicles that it was custom in
England, more especially in the coun-
~ of Norfolk and other parts of
the North, to allow tenants and retain
ers of the lord of the manor to drink
the best or strongest ale as long as
the yule-log burned. For this reason
the lords servants were interested in
cutting the thickest and longest-burn-
ing log that they could find in the
lords forest. 1t was cut as long as
the fireplace was wide and knotty oak
was usually chosen.
To the ashes of the yule-log were
and they were gathered from the fire.
place with care. For one thing they
were mixed with cattle feed to pre-
serve the animals from disease and
also to cure them of any disease.
Scattered on the land the ashes of the
yule-log protected crops against blight.
There are authorities" who say that
the yule-log was the center of the bon
fires which the pagan Scandinavians
lighted in honor of their god Thor, at
about the time of the winter solstice,
and that. Christmas coming at about
the time of the winter solstice, the
yule-log burning was continued by the
Scandinavians after their conversion
to Christianity. Another story is that
the Christian missionaries, after con-
verting the northern pagans, required
them to cut down a large tree, hew
from its trunk heavy log and then
burn that log as symbol that they
renounced their heather gods. This for
NAL renunclation of paganism and In
duction into Christianity was often
timed to take place during the Chris
| ian celebration Of the birth Of Christ,
and it is said that in this way the yule-
log came to be part of the celebra-
lion Of Christmas.
"Yule" is spelled in so many ways
by the early writer's that it is confus-
ling and one cannot always make out
| what ''yule" is meant. A clear and
frequent way of spelling it in the Mid
die ages was "ewle." Some writer's
have hit upon theory that there Is a
connection between the words "yule"
and "yowl' or "howl," and that it was
he "yowling time" or the time for
making noise and being festive-the
line Of greatest revelry Of the year.

A CHRISTMAS RESOLVE

uItlS MAS Is especially Il
children's day, and one of the
things which a proper Christmas
attitude should bring about is a
firm resolve on the part of each
mother to learn what is best for
her child, and do it irrespective
of the child's within or desires.
This not only is true of gifts
which the child receives at
Christmas, but of its food and
raiment. its sleeping room and
its playroom. All of these
should be as carefully guarded
as the traditions on which the
Christmas celebration is founded.

III blessed day when we re-
fresh ourselves once again
with the friendships we have
made.
Peace steals into our lives,
and good will toward men. Those
beautiful words take on a new
meaning and translate them
selves into little acts of kind
ness and consideration. Happy
laughter is heard and grown
men remember how to play.
A beautiful time is Christmas
time-in which bitterness and
envy melt into understanding
and forgiveness. A gracious
time--in which we renew our

We are anxious to serve the busi-

bringing new business to our County,
thereby giving a wider and more

Attractive Structure Sets New Pace in Building

The new Watauga County Bank
Building stands as monument of
reinforced brick and limestone to
the faith of its officers and stock
holders in the business future of
Watauga County. The structure
represents large outlook upon the
growth and development of the
territory it serves. 1t was built to
take care of the banks needs for
half century. 1t is strictly modern
in every detail and was constructed
for convenience and durability and
safety
The building occupies probably the
choicest business site in Boone. on
corner of Main and Depot streets.
1t forms part of new block with
frontage of 10 feet on Main Street
and 100 feet on Depot Street. The
building is constructed of the best
material with concrete base and cap,
Johnson City shale brick and Indian
limestone. The lobby floor of the
banking room is made of terazzo
with marble border and the fixtures
are marble ana mahogany; oovrs and
windows trimmed with mahogany.
The building is a steam heated and
equipped with water and toilets.
The vault walls are built of con-
crete 21 inches thickness, reinforced
with steel rails and is constructed
after the most modern methods of
vault construction. The vault door

he gives no reason why it should
have happened. So far as we know
these statements haven't been veri-
fed by any one else and all the
known facts are that John was shot
from ambush to take his life. Grimes
has never had the name of being
other than an inoffensive, working
negro, and there has been no reason
assigned for the foul play.
OF course from this information
it was necessary for an official search
to be instituted for DR.. Bingham,
which continued on through Sunday
night, but proved fruitless, and at
this time his whereabouts are un-
known.
