A LITTLE book bound in red
morocco holds the kernel
of the children’s celeb ratio®
the world over of Christmas.
To look at it no one would dream its
hidden words are even now vibrating
in the hearts of countless children,
yet the charm Its bright covers em
brace Is perennial. It is the manu
script of the famous children’s classic,
“A Visit from St. Nicholas,” written
by Clement C. Moore almost a hundred
years ago, and dedicated to his own
children In particular, and, as it has
since proved, to childhood the world
over.
This season It has as Its compfcnlon
in the library of the New York County
Historical society In Central Park West
a photographic copy of the original
text enlarged sufficiently to enable It
to be easily, read, for though the orig
inal chirography is quite remarkable
for a man of Dr. Moore’s years—eighty-
two when he indited the poem—it
is Hue and old-fushioned, and there
fore somewhat difficult to read.
The iunovatiou has proved a rare
treat to the library patrons, and It is
interesting to note with what rever
ence It is bandied by men and women
whose childhood days are long past,
yet whose holiday /memories are still
bright Two pages and a half are con
sumed In committing the poem to
paper, and the repetition of the old
familiar lines brings to mind pleasant
thoughts of the seasou, for no one has
’ever visualized our American Christ
mas from the children’s viewpoint as
has -Clement <3. Moore in iris rare
little poem.
The lines were written as a Christ
mas gift for the author’s two young
daughters nearly a century ago, but it
has since become a progressive gift
fb countless other girls and boys. Ac-

‘ ’ DEALERS IN
Fertilizer—Grain—Seed—Fuel—Oils and Greases
CLINTON, S. C., Dec. 6th, 1919.
In opening our new business in Clinton we bad two Jdeas foremost
in our minds. <
First, that the people of Clinton and surrounding Territory needed
a business of this kind. A business that carried in stock, Feeds, Fuel,
Fertilizer, Seeds, Oils and Greases, bought in such quantities as to give the
Best Cash Price. A business that would give Prompt and Courteous treat
ment and service to its customers and always glad to accommodate them.
To sell them goods at a reasonable profit. To carry the best grade of mer
chandise. To always be glad and ready to adjust any dissatisfaction that
mightxome up and refund price paid if not exactly as represented.
Our second idea was To make out of the business a fair and legit
imate profit for our efforts. To do this we adopted the plan of quick sales
withThort Profits on TGasF^Basis.’ Buying in quantitles to obT3tTTthe tow-"
coinpanying the original manuscript
when It was presented to the society
by T. W. Moore, a relative, sqme fifty
years ago, is a letter in which the
writer tells how the verses came to
be written and how it happened that
they were eventually published.
Mr. Moore lived at the time In a
handsome house overlooking the Hud
son, at Ninth avenue and Twenty-
third street. Then Chelsea, like Green
wich village, further south, was quite
remote from the city. Each was large
ly populated by the Dutch settlers
from Nieuw Amsterdam. Living near
his country seat was a portly, rubi
cund Dutchman, who suggested to
film the idea of making St. Nicholas
the hero of a Christmas piece for his
chlklrpo.
It was, however, with no thought of
Its ever being published that Mr.
Moore wrote the poem, but the lines
were copied by a relative of the au
thor in her album. From it another
copy was made by a friend of hers
from Troy. Some time later, much to
the surprise of Dr. Moore, it was for
the first time published In a news
paper. By such small chance was this
choice little poem saved for posterity.
In those days there was no such
celebration of Christmas as Is now the
case, but Dr. Moore, having absorbed
the ancient traditions of his Dutch
neighbors, wove them Into the poem
for his 'children. He did more than
that, for he built up around the cen
tral thought an Interpretation which
has gradually come to be our own.
As some one has so aptly said, it has |
become so much part and parcel of our
literature that It seldom occurs to peo
ple it ever had ah author. Since for
nearly a hundred years American chil
dren have been fed on It, it has now
'»ecome theirs in very truth.
t - X ■ ♦ ,
In doing this, we can turn our money several times a year and
thereby benefit both ourselves and customers. We can save you money
in the course of a years business which may seem small at the time of pur
chase, but consider a saving of from 5c to 10c on each dollar purchase.
You can readily see what interest you are saving on your purchases.
We are located in the two-story ware room formerly owned by the
J. W. Copeland Company, situated on N. & L. Railroad, and would
appreciate a call from you. Will always be glad to serve you.
We have on hand large stocks of Feed, Dairy Feed, Hog Feed,
Horse Fee<k Chicken Feed, Cotton Seed Meal, 0ats, Fertilizer, Seed
Wheat, cleaned and tested; Auto Oils and Greases;. Wood, cut, dried and
• split. We are out of Coal, at present, due to coal-strike, but are making
every effort to get vorae: ——~ —r—
We have two trucks with careful drivers, and can do your hauling
at a reasonable price. Phone your wants to 301.

'EMMILL WAGONS
S OME Thornhill owners constantly
comment on die ease with which die
wagon can be “backed up/* This is due
to the full circle iron. The ordinary circle is but a
half circle ( u ). In making a sharp turn bolsters
often run to the end of die track and become
derailed.’* Thornhills cannot do this because
their track is a circle ( O ).
^ r ' ,
Others comment on the fact that in spite of tre
mendous overloads, Thornhill axlfes never break.
The reason for this is plain. They use tough
highland hickory—reinforced by a steel truss bar
that extends the full length of the axle.
•* . * ^
Still others comment that the gears never-get out
of line. This unusual feature is due to one of
their workmen *s inventions. He designed a malle
able front hound plate—bolted to the gears at
eight points. It’s literally a jacket of iron that
holds gears in line and insures light running for life.
From hilly sections come reports that the old
trouble of broken king bolts is unknown among
owners of Thornhill wagons. This because
\A a cup and saucer arrangement on the bolster
that relieves die king bolt of strain.
To others the amazing feature is the long life of
Thornhill beds—due to their location which gives
them the pick of the yearly cutting df wood and
due, in part, to the fact that, they paint with pure
lead and linseed oil despite its high cost
Thousands of owners have found in Thornhills ,
unusual strength where they are accustomed to
weakness.
Let us show you this perfected wagon. Imu*]
