TODAY S PAPER
Following out 1 established custom,
we are today presenting our annual
Christmas edition of The Chronicle.
It has required lots of hard work, and
heavy expense to produce this paper
and we hope the efforts of our force
will be appreciated by our big family
of readers. We call your attention,
with due modesty, tb this issue and
the many special, attractive and un
usual features it contains.
There is a large and varied asort-
ment of Christmas material consisting
of holiday stories, verses, illustra
tions, etc., that will appeal to old
folks, middle aged folks and little
folks. These articles are of beautiful
thought and sentiment and are pecu
liarly appropriate for such an edi
tion. Its news columns contain the
general world nqjvs of the week, state,
county and city activities, the going
and coming of Clinton folks, society
happenings of the week, and helpful
ideas and hints to busy housewives
just on the eve of the Christmas sea
son. Its editorial columns carry
Christmas thought and sentiment. In
short, today’s issue is a real honest-
to-goodness Christmas paper, an ac
complishment out of the ordinary for
a paper in a town this size.
Its advertising columns contain in
teresting and helpful “store news”
from the leading business houses of
the city and county. These advertise
ments are carried by till merchants
as an investment that will bring pay
ing results for the holiday trade. In
this day of keen competition, the mer
chant who advertises is the one that
is most wide awake to your needs, the
one best prepared to serve you, and
the public has long since learned this
truth. We call your attention to the
attractiveness of these advertisements,
their Christmas borders, illustrations
and suggestions, the excellent adver
tising cut service we place free at the
disposal of our merchants, and the
clear-cut, attractive mechanical ap-
r pearance of the advertisements. All
of this is a part of the service we are
rendering our advertisers—a service
that is unsurpassed by any weekly
paper if the state. For these adver
tisements, we bespeak a most careful
consideration at the hands of our
readers. They will solve your per
plexing problem, “W T hat to Give and
, AYhere to Shop.”
All in all, today’s issue is a real
Christmas paper, an effort, that could
rot have been possible except by the
cooperation of our advertisers and the
fsithful and untiring efforts of our
own force.
We hope this Christmas edition will
l*e enjoyed by all our readers.

But not so. The first news of his
birth was told to people engaged in
a very humble and lowly work.
It must have been a beautiful,
warm night. Far out on the hills of
old Judea the shepherds were herd
ing their sheep. No doqht they were
talking together about the big crowd
in Bethlehem that evening. Suddenly
there appeared in the sky a bright
light. The shepherds were afraid.
An angel spoke to them and said, “Be
not afraid; I bring you good tidings
of great joy which shall be to all peo
ple.” Then he tojd them that Jesus
had been born in Bethlehem; that
they would find him, a babe, wrapped
in swadling clothes lying in a man
ger with his mother, Mary.
Suddenly there appeared with the
angel a host of other angels singing
“Glory to God in the highest and on
earth peace, good wil! to men.”
After the angels w?re gone the
shepherds talked over the wondrous
news. Then they hurried away to
Bethlehem ^to see if it was true. Sure
enough, there were Mary and Joseph
and the little babe, Jesus. They then
went out to tell others.
God also told the news of his gift
tc the world «by placing a new star
in the sky. The wise men saw it and
followed its shining rays until they
too, found the “Babe of Bethlehem.”
These wise men worshipped him and
gave him gifts of &old, myrrh and
frankincense.
This was the first Christmas.

AK ifkd Their Bit to '
_ Make Chrittiaa* Merry
C'VERYBODY In Brcmpton knew
that It waa all the Hammond*
could do to make ends meet. A big
family and a small Income Is not
a combination to make easy living.
Yet at Christmas time the Hammond
family managed to have all the good
things that geuwith the day. and to be
able to purchase the gifts of love that
mean so much.
It was all due to the plan that Mra.
Hammond had worked out when th«
children were small. Several weeks
before Christmas a contribution box
was placed In the Hammond dining
room n across it waa written in big
letters of red and green: “Do your bit
to make Christmas merry,” and each
member of the family was supposed
to contribute something, be it ever so
little. And It was surprising, just as
soon as the J>ox was put up each year,
how many wonderful ways chopped
out for 'earning extra nickels and
dimes. Even little Tim, In spite of
being only five, contributed his mite
to the cheer- fund. And the fun the
family had In trying to fill the box—
why, It was nearly as good as Christ
mas itself! Each evening It was held
up and weighed by the smaller chil
dren and they always agreed that It
was getting so “awful" heavy; when
It was opened just before Christmas
there was always a shout of surprise
and joy, and they declared that it con
tained much more than they had
thought It would. And now they were
spending the money that was made
up of so much sacrifice, such planning
and scheming as there was to get the
most out of It. And when Christmas
morning dawned there was no happier
family In all Brompton—the Christ
mas family fund had brought them
so many good things.—Katherine

It’s a fact, the people who never

THE FIRST CHRISTMAS
Over nineteen hundred years ago
there lived in f he little town of Naz
areth, a humble carpenter and his
wife, Mary.
At this time the ruler of the Roman
empire, Augustus Caesar, required all
persons to pay taxes for the upkeep
of the kingdom. Joseph was a de
pendent of King David. Although
* he was living in Galilee, the law re
quired him to go to Bethlehem in Ju
dea and pay his taxes.
When it was time to pay the trib
ute, Joseph took Mary with him on
the journey to Bethlehem. It was a
tiresome journey. They were very
weary when they reached the little
town. Joseph went to the hotel to
get a room where they could rest.
But poor Joseph was disappointed,
for so many other people had come to
the little town that day the rooms
were all taken. No doubt Joseph and
Mary felt lonely and discouraged as
night came on/ At last they went to
a stable to find a place to sleep. Here
in a manger the Saviour of the world
was born.
. This was a vefry lowly place indeed
for the Prince of Peace to be born.
Prophets had been foretelling his
coming for many years. People were
expecting him to come, but in sAme
very grand Way. Some thought he
would makp the- kings leave their
thrones and hfmself be’the ruler. But
he came as a sweet, dear little babe.
Now, you wonder how the people
heard of his birth, in those long, long
ago days when there were no tele
phones or telegraphs. ? Perhaps you
think so impajtjmt news ms this would

up jvas that of putting others down.
Algernon despised Christmas. He
even felt ready to snub Santa Clans.
This snob had a special anub for any
body who believed in Cbriatmas cheer
and generous happiness. He was an
ardent member of the Society for the
Prevention of Useless Giving. Indeed,
he was the chairman of the branch of
It that infested his town without bear
ing a gift. There Inay have been e
streak of fat In his character, but
there surely was a streak of mean.
It waa a bundle that cured him. As
he stalked to hla door with his eyes
on the church steeple he fell over It,
and as he opened It that Christmas
Day and found that a number of bis
neighbors had conspired to warm his
heart with tokens of kind considera
tion, he felt so strangely humbled and
ashamed of himself that he was never
afterwards able to look down upon
anybody.—Christopher G. Hazard.

Some people blame the 48 state le
