Two years ago we devoted the entire front page of The Press and Standard to publishing numerous letters from little boys and girls to Santa Claus, in which letters they told good old Santa what they wish ed him to bring them for Xmas. In letters received afterwards we learned that Santa brought pretty nearly everything asked for, These letters did so much good then that we have decided to ask again to have little boys and girls write Santa through The Press and Standard and tell him what they wish him to bring themTor Xmas. Do not fear that he will not see your letter for we have already arranged to have him send his fleetest reindeer for a copy of the paper with the letters in l » It. cr Now the boys and girls who wish to write Santa need not wait till Xmas eve to write, but may do* so at once. J ust send your letters in and address them: Santa Claus, Care The Press and Standard. Wal terboro, S. C. and they will be pub lished in our issue of Dec. 23rd. We want the girls and boys who are lod enough to do so to write them selves, but the little tots may get their teacher or mother to write for them—but in the words of the little i> one, please. i * b year.
