MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Once affain we extend the old—but
ever new—greeting to our friends:
“Merry Christmas!” And it is our
sincere wish that it may be—in fact
as well as in name—the very merriest
that you have spent in many years.
To the little children of Barnwell
County—and to little children every
where—we express the sincere hope
that Santa Claus, their patron saint,
will fulfill every wish that they may
have this Happy Yuletide, to the end
that each little stocking, “hunK by
the fireside with care,” will be filled
to overflowing.
A wholesome measure of prosperity
has returned to this depression-strick
en land of ours and there is more
reason for rejoicing and merry-mak
ing than in a number of recent years.
Most of you will be surrounded by
your loved ones as you gather around
the family hearth this Christmas Eve
and recall the age-old story of the
coming of the Christ-Child. Bright
eyes in smiling childish faces will
grow eager with anticipation as you
recount the coming, witali ^ few
hours, of Old Saint Nicholas hia
sleigh-load of dolls and toys. May
you an<f they enjoy the full measure
of happiness and contentment!
But Christmas may be a sad as well
as a glsd season. Grown-up children
who live miles from the old roof-tree
will be hurrying homeward to spend
Christmas with the old folks. Don't
let that happy journey be turned in
to stark tragedy on the highway!
Kaemse more than the usual amount
of rautioo in driving this week.
Only a few days ago, over in Atlan
ta, a widowed mother, who had skimp
ed and saved a few pennies from her
scanty relief dole in order that her
litule tots might know some of the
delights of Santa Claus that other
children enjoy on thnstaaaa morning,
was struck down by a passing auto
mobile as she stepped from a street
car. Those who rushed to her as
sistance found broken and twisted
toys Hatched in her deed hands—pa
thetic proof that her last thougts and
efforts were devoted to the now or

old globe of ours would be over-run

neighborhood or community row to
gossip caused by somebody owing some

But, writes this hardy woodsman,
“It was not many days until we
were living snugly in our cabin
and in good health and with fine j

Holidays among our ancestors
were made occasions for such cel

witnessed the cessation from la

need for immediate shelter, crop
harvesting, or game killing. Hence
log-raisings, corn-huskings, and

Nave’s family and friends had
