We hope that all over Oconee the day will be observed lu a manner fitting the occasion, tho greatest day in tho whole calendar, the day that OUghl to bring to our minds closer lhan any other the spirit of elitist good will and good deeds to our fol low man. NW too often lose the spirit of Christ in our endeavors to cany out the latter-day spirit of Christmas. We lose sight of the lit tle tilings that carry with them the heart full of love, and charity, and humanity, and brotherhood. These things are overshadowed by the feed ing that we 111 Us I give cost!.', ni Its to those about us-to "pay back" gifts that have been received in the past. Such giving is void of the spirit of Christ, the true spirit of Christmas. A word fitly spoken may carry with It a value and a meaning that some co-tly gift would fail utterly to con vex-. Let us eele?.raff this Christmas season with as ihueh as possible of the spirit ol' Chris!. With this issue of The Cou rier we greet each and every one of our readers, rich and poor, great and small, old and young, With the hearty wish that tile day may hold in store for all groat blessings of peace and happiness and contentment. May the day be one I Vat will always be remembered a> the best Christmas thal has come into the lives of all a day void of self and full of Christ and love to humanity.

Hut I learned years ago that we are all "just folks." 1 left the ministers at Columbia, and went to the ball, whore, lt ls said, seven hundred exhibits of choice seed corn from the throe States of North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia were ready. At 2 p. m. the welcome addresses were made hy Mayor YV. H. Gibbes and Governor M. P. Ansel. The corn Judging school was in charge of Prof. J. N. Napier.

He has four large barns and three large silos, one of them being the largest in the South feet in diameter and ;">7 feet high. Ills farm contains 1,100 acres of level land.

Much depends on those important matters. I want the people to come and bring corn, 2f> ears of what you would plant. You can carry the corn back home with you. If I cannot teach you something probably you can teach nie. There must he some learning done. We want everybody to come.
