NEW TRANSPORTATION TOR THE PREACHERS. The Southern Railway Will Kjproafter Issuo Interchangeable Permits for Clergymen. Hereafter ministers of the gospel will not find it necessary to possess themselves of half a dozen clergy permits in order to travel over the railways of the Southern states at the reduced rates which are usually granted them. Beginning' January 7, 1908, the Southern railway will become a member of the Southeastern clergy bureau. This bureau coders all of the railway lines south of! the Potomac and Ohio rivers and oast of j the Mississippi river. Hereitofore the Southern railway has issued a clergy permit, good only on the lines of the Southern railway, and it has been ncce^ary for ministers to have two clergy books. Alter the first of th<j yen.1 it will only bo necessary for a minister to carry the Southeastern clergy hook and he can ride on any of |b<> hies in the south, at 2 cents per miio. These clergy permits are issued by Mr. Joseph Richardson, chairman of the Southeastern clergy bureau, Atlanta, (la., and a charge of $1 is made to cover the cost of" printing, por-inge, etc. This arrangement is quite a convenience to the ministers who have much traveling to do, as it saves their carrying so many permits. Granderbone's Deccember Forecast. (Copyright 1907 by C. II. Riet'li.) Docember of the drifting snow And yule-log blasting bright; December, when the cold winds blow Across the fields of white; AY hen winter's ring is in the ground And the nights are clear and still, And (he boys go belly-busier down The slick and shiny bill. December of the Christmas Iree And childhood's brighest dream; December of the ecstaey Of hallowed Christmas e'en; When the last sweet lullaby is sung And children's whispers ce^se, And the wee sweet stockings all are strung Along the mantel-piece. December of the drum and horn And bundles slyly hid; December of the one great morn Of mornings for a kid; When the chimes of sweet and mellow bells A re welcoming, the drawn, And the house rocks with the merry yells Of kids with nighties on. December was the ninth month in the old Ramon calendar, and its name is from decern (ten). When Julius Censor became Bi?f Stick of tlie. empire, the month contained but twenty-nine days. lie added two more?one more to make ready for Christmas, and another to recover from it. Christmas gifls originated with the Creeks, lloncc thd* saying, ''Beware of the Creeks bearing gifts." Santa Clans was invented by the toy ninaufaeturers of Ncuremhurg, Cermany, where the Teddy Hears came from. The motto for this month will be, &'r., ''Shut the door!" Mr. Roosevelt '\niut" lb'. Bryan will be the leading presidential candidates, and prohibition will continue the burning issue. TfXo liquor interests will build walls aro'jmd Peoria, III., St. Louis, Louisville and Milwaukee, and their war balloon will make daily observations of the movement's of Mrs. Nation. The Anti Saloon League has consented to let I he Winter Solstice of this year begin at p. m. on the 22nd; but there must be no drinking, and every one must be in by Curfew. The 21st will bo the shortest day in , the year. This will bo on Saturday, R and if you are at church next day and ?} stay for the sermon, you will notice that the 22nd is much longer. |i , The moon will be full on the 19th, and the sign of the zodiac for the month will bo Caprciornus the Coal. This will make butter go up, and send g' kids to Sunday school. Tho old mill pond will freeze again, And every one will skate; E: Tho mollycoddle, modest swain, jCHL Will thither go with Kate.
