It isJike the little boy once said, the sun shines a word or two, and then the wind blows a line or two, and | then it rains a verse or so. There is some sickness in this community. Oats are somewhat injured by the j cold wind which swept the fields last ! week. Rev. W. H. Roof delivered an appropriate sermon to an attentive congregation at St. Paul's E. L. church on Christmas day. Mrs. Jacob Price, of Priceville, quietly and peacefully passed from death to eternity last Monday, and was buried in the family burying ground on the day following. Mr. D. P. Sease has recently pailed in his yard. Orange blossoms are still shooting fourth in spite of all the cold. Wonder some of them don't get frost bit. Misses Leila and Frances Lindler are spending Xmas under the parental roof. School will start again at Pineville academy Monday morning after a week's vacation. R=>v. Anderson of Leesville, will continue to serve the Beulah Methodist charge. R9V. Anderson is a j great worker in fcbe Master s vineyard. He is welcomed by the people to serve them another year. Messrs. Will Taylor aDd Wesley Nichols have recently moved aDd added too more families to the town of Leesville. Christmas has come and gone once again. God only knows whether we will be permitted to witness another Christmas day or not. We have Bethlehem still standing on the crown of an old hill in- eouthern Jude8; the plain of the shepherds stretching out fromvits base; the blue sky of Syria bending like a a dome over the land of promise. We have the story of the JtJabe, his sweetness, his purity, his growth in stature and wisdom and grace, but we have the history of the man, the peerless man, whose name is the most illustrious, name above every other name. In all these twenty centuries of human history we have the story of his life, his worke, the miracles he wrought, the gracious words that fell from his lips, the story of bis precious death and burial, his glorious resurrection, and the coming of the Holy Ghost, whose ministrations he promised. We have the history of the church, the heroes who have lived and died in the defence of the faith, the victories accomplished by the cross and the word and Christianity's victories over race and kingdoms. We have the civilization which is the ripe product of his life; the institutions of philanthrophy and education, erected as products of bis own power and right- i eousness, and even now in the heart j of every man who will accept it there ! is the witness full of life and power to the fact there has come to the world a Savior who is Christ the Lord. On this Christmas day do we go to our spiritual Bethehem ? Do we see the reality of Christ as our Savior and do we go forth, as did the ! shepherds, full of new light to make j known concerning the saying which : has been spoken to us in the inmost life of this child, this maD, this Savior, this present deliverer from | the guilt and power of sin, this | anointed one through whom on j Christmas day, and on all other days ! i GLOBE DRY I 33. ^?OI<rCICTC EET, are of Your Valued . of the year, we may receive the anointing from above. A blessed Christmas has been speDfc to every reader whose eyes have been open to see the mysteries of this present kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We will be held accountable for the deeds done in the body on Christmas day as well as on all other days. May we all be permitted to live while another year rolls by and witness another Christmas day. Hark, what sounds are sweetly stealing, Soft through Bethlehem's midnight air. Louder yet and louder pealing, Angel accents sure are there. See, a light from heaven is streaming. Night and darkness quit the plain, See an ange) brightly beaming , Followed by a radiant train. Fear not shepherds glad my story, TidiDgs of the greatest joy, Christ is born the Lord of glory, I proclaim a Savior nigh.'' Max.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: Another Christmas, with its joys to many and sorrows to some, has come and gone and soon the old year will be numbered with the past. The supply of Christmas liquor has been drunk, what little money the people had has been spent* and things in general have settled down to qaiet. Let us then make a new beginning with the new year and go to work with renewed energy to better our lives and conditions. The railroad business at this place continues to increase. Shipments both from and to this point are heavy and the number of tickets sold here will compare with many much larger places. Our agent here ha9 his hands full to keep up with the demands. We are to have a telephone line in the near future. Right of way has already been secured and Irmo will soon be put in telephonic communi cation with the outside world. The health cf our community ia quite good dow, with the exception of Mr. Shelton Mathias, who is very sick at his home. Our school vacated for Christnms on the evening of December 24th to re-open January 6th. It closed with appropriate exercises consisting of dialogues and speeches interspersed with music furnished by Mrs. B. F. Swygert as organist, Mr. B. F. Swygert with violin and Mr. Ollie Lowry with banjo. The children, a9 a whole, acquitted themselves in a manner that reflects great credit on their worthy teachers. The music was excellent. Very interesting and instructive addresses were delivered by Revs. S. C. Ballentine and John L. Ray. We hope that the words and ideas of these addresses made lasting impressions on the minds of the patrons of our school and that they may briDg forth some fruit. A happy New Year to all.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: As the old year of 1991 has taken its place among the things of the ^ 1 1 3 past; ana realizing wnai goiaen opportunities are gone and gone for ever and aye, we turn to the morning of the new year and say, may the great and unknown mysteries that are folded in thy bosom find us not sleeping. This is a new year. May it be the beginning of a new life. Forget everything of the past, (except the Editor), and begin life with renewed energy and zeal. There are homes to brighteD; there are hearts to lighteD; there are ambitions to strengthen and that work is ours.

Mr. Morgan Kyzer and Miss Jane Gunter blended the melodies of merry Christmas bells with wedding bells. Rev. Evans Hall pulled the cord that set in motion this last and sweetest music. May their young lives be happy and grow happier. The Christmas tree at Pdnd Branch was a much enjoyed one. Mr. Furman Able, Mies Rosa Etheredge, Miss Josie Riddle and Miss Nettie Matthews have all closed their schools for the week and gone home to find "Santa Clause." The best we have heard on a certain young preacher is, "that he squeezed a girl so hard that he bursted her corset." Hurrah for him ! He ought to be placed among the world's heroes and given a pension and 50 per cent, on all corsets bursted. Hobson of ship sinking fame and women kissiDg traits stands no where by the side of this great man. You see he knows how to develop the burst. Well ever since Old Mother Eve?bitten by the snake?fell in Adam's arms it has been thus. Mi9s Day and Mr. Willie Donally are now home from college spending a while with mama. Prof. Ptizer, Gf the Lewiedale school, has gone home for Christmas. Miss Kosa Etheredge was the guest of Mrs. Anna Kyzer on Xmas eve. How strange it is with some people's meeting.
