We have experienced the coldest weather of the season recently, accompanied with a light fall of snow. Christmas passed off quietly and the holidays were peaceful. Still some of cur emod DeoDle celebrated the oc O " I I I casion with too much "booze." Some small grain is up, but the recent cold weather had a wonderful and telling effect on it. Oats, I think are gone. . Old Santa visited many a home and made the little folks happy for which they feel grateful. We've often heard it sajd that the old gentleman is not partial, but Billy can testify to the contrary not withstanding. He gave many gifts., but to Mr. R T. Zinker he gave the greater. In that home was found two Christmas babie0, both boys, both bouncing fellows. Our friend "Bob" parades around now with a smile broader and a grin deeper than thoseappeared on the phiz of the Editor when he completed bis trip after tne epondulix. Oar old reliable friend Geo. W. Pound has some hue milch cowe, also Mr. R J. Fallaw. Stop and see 'em when passing. Mrs. D. A. Shank, who has been in feeble health for some time has improved much to the delight of her many friends. Jklr. Hiram Cook recently forsook all and took unto himself for better or worse a help mate, Miss Oilie Martin. He got a cook and she a Cook, so they are even in this respect. We wish them much joy and happiness through life and may both the Cook and the cook have plenty always to cook. Mr. E. C. Sphaler and wife, of Alabama, are spending a while with relatives and friends in Gastou. Mr. Sphaler says he wants to sell out his real estate in Gaston and the home place near the Joe.

After spending Christmas and the holidays with relatives here Mr. Lee N. Fallaw and wife returned to the Capital to resume his work as book keeper for th9 Outlaw Lumbar Co. Mrs. Henry Hughs, of the Sicd t dam section, paid a brief visit recently j to her sister, Mrs. W. B Fallaw. i Come again Delia we are al vays glad to see you.
