BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION. Pleasant Lathering at the Home of Mr. S. O. Gardner. Special to The News. Heath Springs, Dec. 17.?According to a good custom of long standing, the sons and daughters of Mr. ^ S. C. Gardner, with their wives and husbands, children and grandchildren. and a few friends, gathered at his home this, the 17th Inst., to celebrate his birthday. Mr. Gardner has attained his three score and fifteen, but carries his three-quarters of a century well, lie being in good health and the best of spirUs. This 'alter fact. (iniititlnsii ,i carrying his years sa lightly; for men are beginning to \oarn that the wise man spake tru!,' when no said. "A merry heart doeth1 gooii like a medicine.'' Mr. Gardner is among the comparatively few men wl.o "live at home," and so does not seem to be feeling the pinch of "hard times." And judging from tne abundance and variety of well prepared victuals spread on th*1 table I prepared in the yard, from which all present partook with keen enjoy-j ment, he has instilled the same lesson in his children and granrchildren, to whose bounty we are indebted for the delightful repast. While all present seemed to < njoy the social Intercourse Immensely. we were sadly reminded that some who were present at the last reunion held at Mr. Gardner's. ha\e passed over the river. After all the guests had been bountifully fed they gathered in the parlor, where the pastor read some selections from Rev. 21 nnd 22, with ommcnts. and emphasized especially 'lie fact that there is a home prepared for the children of God, into which no sin or sorrow or deatli saall over enter, and from which md ea-'h "other they shall never be separated. After a praper was offered, and se\ernl hymns sung by the young people, the company departed for their homes ardently wishing for their hosp'table host many ret irns of ihial appy day. TO SlRSCRIMKltS. The Meaning of "Label" in Reference to Your Subscription. It is true that hundreds of people , who have been subscribers to newspapers for years no not knew win attention is called to their ' Label" so often. They think the ii'J.'.o vel low Btrip is for the "Address only." Here 1b an explanation of the label as applied to your subs jlption: JOHN SMITH Everyone understand? what John Smith stands for. That is a symbol standing for a certain individual. But why do newspapers print ihe date Dec. 1, 1913? Here is the ull Important answer: That date iheans you have pa'd up to Dec. 1, 1913, and as it is now December, 1914, you owe us $1.50 for your subscription. We have 500 such names on our books and we shall cut them off January 1, 1915. Look at your label and see your date. Pay up and If you do not want the paper any longer we will gi.e you a lenr receipt. When your paper is stopped it does not mean you have paid up? j you still owe us and you cannot be an honest man and owe an honest debt when possible to pay it.

I CHRISTMAS TREE FOB, THE GLAD YULE TIDE A Iteiiutiful Thought mul a Practical Idea Which Everyone Ought to KmloHe and Work For. To The Editor of The New*: It has occurred to the Socrorarv of the local Chamber of Commerce that the citizens ol' Lancaster might adopt the plan, suggested oy Mr. J. Newton Johnston. Moniber City Council of Florence, as outlined herewith: "It would only be just for the good citizens of Lancaster while showing their generosity toward stricken Europe, to reserve a portion of their sympat.h r, good will and joy, giving to suffering liumanlj ty in our midst. With this view of the matter we would remind through the medium of your columns that thore are,in this city, many Utile j ones whoBe homes SatUa Claus will not visit, there are many Pttle eyes | which have never looked upon a j Christmas tree in all its glory and I splendor,many little hands that have never received a gift direct fron: ! Santa Claus, therefore, we would j suggest that the Civic League, fie City Council, the Kings Daughters. 1 the Chamber of Commerce and all other city organizations ?<ome together and assist in providing a real old time Christmas tree, which could be erected on the school ground, or even better on Main street, and open to all. The tree could be transported by the railroad and hauled by the street department, with the consent of the Mayor, and erected by the telephone people. Wired and illuminated by the electric people the , merchants would furnish the decorations, the Hoy Scouts aid in collecting and decorating the tree, the ; Police and Fire Department in | watching and guarding and the citizens in general contributing without i soltc'ta.tiou as they may see fit. T'.ie girls and ladies of the various organizations furnishing and baking the cr kes and making the little muslin bags to contain the confectionery, which the City and Chamber of Commerce might make an appropriation to buy. The mention of the above does not of course, obligate any of the parties to do this without thoir own free will and accord, it is merely set forth as a suggestion to a public spirited community's Chirstmas Festival." The only suggestion made by the writer is that the topmost bough of the tree should be adorned by the brilliant star of Betheliem and about the base of the tree should be grouped the many little boys and girls of Lancaster, who would render sweet music, with the chorus that echoed over the purple Judean Hills on the venly angels sang that sweet henevently angels sang that sweet benediction,. "Glory to God in the highest and on earth good will and peace toward men." "Charity begins at home," therefore. those in Lancaster who desire to do some real effective work something that will gladden the hearts of m.\ny little precious and girls in our midst,?the above plan offe-s you the opportunity. Those interested might phone 142. LUTHER ELLISON, Secretary. I I Social News Mrs. Walter M. Stevens was the hostess of the Mothers' Club this week and the meeting at her attrnctive home was most enjoyable. An appropriate question was the subject for the afternoon: "What are the Propet Toys for Our Children at Christmas?" This was treated of in a thoughtful paper by Mrs. H. R. NUirChison and a very full general discussion followed it. It was then that the hostess distributed photographs of her guests taken when they were children and asked that Jeacli guess the identity of the others, frills provoked much merriment. vVfter each guest had cut for the -prize, it was found that Mrs. W. O. I Craig had made the lucky cut, thereby winning the prize, a beautiful Madonna picture. A salad course followed by an ice course, were the 'icious refreshments served. ? The Cement Sidewalk*. The engineer, town council or whoever has the final say in the matter, should see that the permanent | cement sidewalks, now being lr.'d, j should be made uniform anil of corI rect continuous alignment. Much j criticism is now being made of vhe alignment of the sidewalks at the Baptist church corner at the intersection of White and Arch streets. It is now too late to correct the omission there, but there Is no sense whatever in repeat<ng the mistake all over the town. The cement sidewalks on each square of the town should be in perfect alignment, regardless of the varying widths of the streets. We have bonded the town for the purpose of doing this work ahd the money used should be used judiciously. We do most earnestly enter our most solemn protest against'such location as has been made of the sidewalks at the BaDtlst [church corner and now being made at the Mackey and Springs corner at .the intersection of Gay and Catawba streets. I Gentlemen of the city council, if you have not already done so, go as a body to these places and view the matter for yourselves.
