Now when Jesus was born in Beth lehem of Judaea in the days of Herod ttin kins, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 8 Saying. Where is he that is born King of the Jews for we have seen fci.s star in the east, and are come to worship him. • 3 When Herod the kim: had heard these thinKB. he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the peo-1 f>!e together, he demanded of them where Christ should he born. o And tli°y said unto him, In Bethle Item of Judaea: for thus It is written bv the piophet. C And ihou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the firinces < f Juda: for out of thee shad come a Hovernor, that shall rule m> people Israel. 7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the £tar ap- pc ired. 8 And le sent them to Bethlehem, and said, do and search diligently for the young child; and when ve have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. 9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which iliey saw in the east, went be fore them, UU it came and stood over where the young child was. 10 When they saw the star, they re joiced with exceeding great joy. 11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they bad opened their treasures, thev pre sented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. 12 And being warned of God In a d'-eam that thev should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way. 13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord ap- peareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child lo destroy him. 14 When he arose, he toob the young child and his mother by night, end departed into Egypt: 15 And was there until the death of Herod: that, it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son. 16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was ex ceedlng wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereot, from two years old and un der, according to the time which he had diligently Inquired of the wise men. 17 Then was fulfilled that which wa-s spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saving. 18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comfort ed, because thev are not. 19 But when Herod was dead, be- ho d. an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt. 20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are d ad which sought the young child’s life. 21 And he arose, and took the voung child and his mother, and came Into the land of Israel. 22 But when ho heard that Arche- !aus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afarid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee: 23 And he came and dw'elt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be ful filled which was spoken by the proph ets. He shall be called a Nazarene. —Matthew 2: 123. It is the birth of the Nazareno we cclebn te next Tuesday, so let us au ce cbn.te it becomingly. OUR HOLIDAY. As is the custom of The ledger we shall take a short holiday next tveek. The office will close Saturday night and will not be open again for the transaction of business until Thursday morning.

Wo know there is a lot of difference between scientific farming on paper and nrac tioal farming, but the wise farmer mixes the two and thus obtains the best results. Are you a wise farmer? • • • For some time we have had it in mind lo say that Gaffney is almost entirely too wrapped up in her own business affairs for her good. It is true that we are not throu-h build ing our owj city yet, and that we are all hustling for Gaffney, but we must remember that iht re are other nlaces in the country that require some at tention at our hands if we are to re *'-■-> their good opinion and to bene fit by their development. Let us re member that no part of the country can develop without it benefitting us, therefore, when the opportunity pre sents itself wo should try to do some- tiiing to benefit. soxn*e other portion of the country besides Gaffney. What r SEED TIME the demands made upon us- And it “sorter” makes us a little hot in the collar when we know they have strained every nerve and expanded every energy to get out a job and some fellow comes in and swells up | and gets red lu the face because uis | work is not done. We have done our best, but overrated our capacity. The other fellow wants his work and should have it. The fault is ours be cause we should not have promised it. But still we don’t appreciate his ill temper, when we have almost worked our fingers off and our eye balls out to serve him and have fail ed in the effort. Back to the subject—Christmas times. The hoys need the rest, and we suspect some of our readers, too. Wo wish you all, young and old, great and small, white and black; a merry Christmas, and trust that Father Time will deal gently with you. and that prosperity may smile on you during 1907. Remember, however, that you yourself can do much to bring about these blessings we have wished ycu by being pru dent. thoughtful, industrious, gener ous, courteous and kind. The gods ar* good to those who are good to themselves. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doc tors pronounced it a local disease, and pre scribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pro nounced it Incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutlonol tr-atmnt. Jab’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. .1. Cheney & Co . Toledo.
