A Christmas Dinner.
On last Saturday Mr. Wilson
Howell gave his friends and neighbors
a "Turkey Dinner." Christmas
day was dark and rainy hut
Saturday dawned bright and fair.
The sunshine only indicated the
pleasure which waa in store for
those who were to be at this dinner

ou? and free-hearted man and
everyone know beforehand that a
hearty reception awaited them.
About nine o'clock the crowd
began to assemble at Mr. Howell's
beautiful home. Men, women
and children came until the crowd
DUmberod about one hundred and
twenty-five. This bir?e number
was a splendid tribute to Mr.
RowelPs popularity in this section.
All were his immediate neighbors
except: J. M. Stewart and family

Birmingham, Ala., C. W. Sapp
of Woffurd College and It. S.
Stewart of the University of North
Carolina.
The morning hours passed away
rapidly, noon came and the host
led the way to the dining room.
It was here that the 030 saw all
that was pleasing to tho taalo.
The large table, which reached
trem one end to the other of the
dining room, was loaded down
with nil th incr? nrnntl tn Tljn

variety and the quality would
please the uioit fastideous. After
this most pleasant dinner, the
crowd again entered its social
duties. The sturdy farmers talked
ef thirteen cents cotton; the ladies
enjoyed their confidential chat;
the youth and lues said things to
be hoard by only themselves; and
the children played their innocent
games. Thus the day passed. To
those present it will ever be a
pleasant recollection; to those
absent, a sad regret.
In all the pleasant things of the
day Jitn Stewart took a leading
part?save at the table. Hero he
was ably seconded by Mr. Daniel
Sapp, and KaDce Plyler. In fact,
the writer is unable te say which
did get the lead in this particular
thing. Suffice it to say that all
three did exceedingly well. Mr.
Billy Hays was also in it. By the
way, Mr. Billy is a good one anyway.
Last year he sold nearly
300 bushels of corn. He has
more to sell this year and his cotton
is laid away awaiting a higher
price.
Mr. HowelTs hospitaUty knows
no bounds. We are sura that
everyone enjoyed |to the utmost
this ganerousness of his. His
youth was spent in following the
uncertain fortunes of the Stars
and Bars and may his declining
years be spent in following the
sure fortunes cf the banner of
peace aid prosperity, is the true
wish of bis Guest.

Officials upect War.
National Authorities Believe it
Will Begin Any Day.
Washington, Jan. 1. ? It is
learned on good authority that
Ivussia has declined to accede to
the demands of .Japan, hut it is
not believed in ollieinl circles that
negotiations aro wholly oil.
War between the two countries
is regarded us practically inevitable,
however, and official circles
hero expect to see begin almost
any day unless great changers
come in the situation.
