CLARKSVILLE

Christians in nearly all countries
of the world are preparing for the
annual celebration of the birthday
of Jesus. No other name is given
the attention, tribute and praise as
the Babe of Bethlehem. Without
heavens gift to the world, there
would not be the great celebration
that we are about to enjoy. We are
glad that God did not forget to full
fill His promise. Genesis, 3-15, And
1 will put enmity between thee and
the woman and between her seed, it
shall bruise thy head, and thou
shalt bruise his heel.
The above prophesy and many
others having been fulfilled God
never breaks promise.
The manger, cross, resurrection
and ascension give the story of
heavens sacrifice and redemption
for fallen humanity. The Yuletide
season brings happiness, cheer and
good will toward all men that will
receive it, and pass it on to others.
A lot of folks will soon be asking
the one important question: what
did you get for Christmas?" Possi-
bly, the most important is "What
did you give?"
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. P. Steele en-
tertained a number of friends and
relatives at a turkey dinner on last
Saturday evening. The royal way in
which host and hostess entertained
the guests with tables laden with
good things to eat and the social
hours that followed, were filled with
good fellowship.
Samuel Hudson killed two fine
porkers on last Monday.
Stephen Derrickson of the Hill
Top Farm had the misfortune to
run over his dog with his auto,
crushing him to death. No doubt,
but what he will miss his pet.
Many of our people are putting up
Christmas trees and colored lights
for the holidays. ,..
Mr.. and Mrs. Herschel Helm and
family also Mr. and Mrs. H. c. Helm
from Dover spent Sunday with their
parents.
Our best wishes to all that you
may enjoy the blessings of this
Yuletide season. -

On the Susquehanna Flats the
shooting season wound up in a big
way, with great numbers of red
heads and an increased kill of black
ducks being reported.
The general impression among
the wild fowl shooters in all three
States is that the Federal predic-
tion of shortage of ducks and
geese was not verified. There actu-
ally seemed to be more ducks. Ger
tainly there were more black mall
lards. One kill of 43 mallards in

tion for you that all women ask
themselves at one time or another,
Would 1 marry a travelling sales
man? Let Miss Brent answer this
question for you.
On Saturday, Dec. 26th, lovers of
the west will again see Tim Mccoy

tion that will play the Sussex The
atre next Sunday midnite and Mon
day and Tuesday. For this picture,
devised and played by the most i'm
pressive assemblage of gridiron and
film authorities ever to be called
into "huddle" on pigskin-screen
production, takes the behOlder right
into the hearts of those excited he
roes and near heroes who prepare
and serve up the great American
Saturday afternoon game "FOOtball".
"Rich Mans Folly" will be the
feature attraction at the Sussex The
atre for two days, starting next
Wednesday and Thursday, Dec. 30
81. George Bancroft, the famous star
of the picture, has one of the strong
est chartcer roles he has ever un-
dertaken. Bancroft acts the part OF
a big shipbuilder, a man of large al
fairs in the business world, dom1-
mating personality. Just to portray
such a type is "easy stuff for Ban
croft, but the part calls for much
more. He has to portray not only
type, but impersonate a character
a domineering, hard fisted, ambition
mad man who has stified all love
and friendly feeling. This calls for
the highest dramatic technique and
vigor. The story is one of big enter
prise, shipbuilding, money, power
are the only things Brock
values. Kindness, fair
chance for others, love, friendship,
romance are all set aside, until luck
turns against him. Then, at last. he
realizes the folly of piling up wealth
and losing the love and friendship
Of those near and dear.
