{ An editorial from the New York
Sun, 1897)


Dear Editor am years old.
'Some of my little friends say
there is no Santa Claus.
Papa says IF you see it in
The Sun it's so.'
''Please tell me the truth, is
there a Santa Claus?
"Virginia O'Hanlon,
"115 West Ninety-Fifth street."
Virginia, your little friends are
wrong They have been affected
by the skepticism Of a skeptical
age. They do not believe except
they see. They think that moth
ing can be which is not compre-
hensible by their little minds. All
minds, Virginia, whether they be
mems or children's, are little. In
this great universe of ours man is
a mere insect, an ant, in his in
tellect, as compared with the
boundless world about him, as
measured by the intelligence cap
able of grasping the whole of
truth and knowledge.
Yes, Virginia, there is Santa
Claus. He exists as certainly as
love and generosity and devotion
exist, and you know that theV
abound and give to your life it's
highest beauty and JOY. Alas! how
dreary would be the world if there
were no Santa Claus! 1t would
be as dreary as if there were no
Virginias. There would be no
childlike faith then, no poetry, NO
romance to make tolerable this
existence. We should have no en-
joyment, except in sense and sight.

The eternal light with which child
hood fills the world would be ex-
tinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You
might we'll not believe in fairies
You might get your papa to hi e
men to watch in all the chimneys
on Christmas eve to catch Santa
Claus, but even if they did not
see Santa Claus coming down,
what would that prove? Nobody
sees Santa Claus, but that is no
sign that there is no Santa Claus
The most real things in the world
are those that neither children MOI.
men can see. Did you ever see
fairies dancing on the lawn? Of
course not, but that's not proof
that they are not there. Nobody
can conceive Or imazine all the
wonders there are unseen and I'M

You tear apart the baby's rat
tier and see what makes the noise
inside, but there is veil cover
ing the unseen world which not
the strongest man, nor even the
united strength of all the strong
est men that ever lived, could
tear apart. Only faith, fancy,

glory beyond. Is it all real? All.
Virginia, in all this world there
is nothing else real and abiding.
No Santa Claus! Thank God

Deputy Sheriff In
Grave Condition
After Gun Battle

Charlie Bruce Edwards, we'll
known and highly respected dep
uty sheriff of the Tivis section,
was brought to the local hospital
late last Saturday afternoon suf-
fering from bullet wounds infict-
ed by Cecil Mullins, whom he kill
ed in a gun battle at Hall Bottom
after a rapid exchange of gunfre
earlier in the day.
According to reports reaching
Clintwood Cecil Mullins, %, son
of Calvin Mullins of near Skeet-
rock, appeared at the turkey
match at Hall Bottom in an in
toxicated condition and began
acting in very unruly manner.
Apparently ca using uneasiness
among t h o e shooting, Mullins
was warned to cease such be.
havior. However, the youth con
tinued to dominate the Shoot in
a very dangerous manner. AT the
request of Charlie Bruce, Cecil
handed over his shotgun, and
when asked for his pistol, he drew
the revolver and started firing.
According to eye witnesses, Ed
wards did not draw his gun or re-
turn the fire until Mullins had
already wounded him. The three
bullets from the gun of deputy
sheriff Edwards pierced Mullins
skull and death was instantaneous.
Deputy Edwards was rushed to
the Dickinson County Hospital,
and examination disclosed that one
bullet has pierced the liver and
the other bullet from the gun of
Mullins ranged through the intes-
tines. Hope is held for his recov-
cry after two blood tranfusions on
Sunday night and Monday. A host
of friends from his neighborhood
have been in constant attendance
at his bedside.
The body of the slain youth
was brought to the Clintwood
Funeral Home late Sunday after
noon and prepared for burial on
Monday afternoon in the family
cemetery at Skeetrock. The funer-
al was attended by a host of
friends and relatives.
Sheriff Edwards is the brother
of Hamilton Edwards, we'll known
citizen of Tivis.

There was some little buzz and
excitement in and around Clint

that Kermit Moore, formerly Of

report that Moore had struck
some one with salt shaker. We
do not even know whether that is
true.

Will the members of the new
Board of Supervisors take a sug-
gestion in the same spirit in which
we make it? We offer it humbly
and from experience in watching
the procedure through the years.
We have noticed that things are
sprung on the Board without prior
notice and that the members are
asked to vote in favor of propo-
sitions and to make appropriations
without having due time to con-
slider the matters. Would it not
be wise to have such items pre-
sented at one meeting and acted
OH at the next? Would that not
give the members time to consider
the merits of whatever proposals
they are asked to vote upon!
