Christmas in Pinehurst, thanks to our northern visitors, was celebrated Christ mas eve with an entertainment and Christ mas tree in the new Village Hall. In the afternoon on Christmas day the colored people in and about the outskirts of the village were entertained in the hall with a Christmas tree and interesting exer cises. The children of the Pine Kidge Sunday and day school, about three miles from town, were also remem bered and a Christmas tree, presents, and entertainment interested the children, and will no doubt be remembered by them for many a year to come. All in all, Pinehurst is satisfied with her ob servance of Christmas. Political parties in North Carolina appear to be considerably mixed at the present time. Humors are afloat charg ing that trades are being made for pres ent and future political effect, that cer tain men are to be appointed to office to carry out bargains made by political leaders, and one would suppose that all political action by the voters of the state should be taken for the benefit of a few individuals who are said to control things. The idea that all the people have rights which should be respected, and that the good of the state is above and beyond everything else hardly enters in to the calculations of the would-be traders. Tiik union religious services last Sab bath were held in the the new Village Hall for the first time. The sermon by Pev. W. N. Clarke, D. l., of Colgate university, Hamilton, X. V., and the ad dress of (Jen. Carrington on "The World's First Christinas" were listened to by a large audience, and we judge must have been greatly appreciated by those present from the favorable comments we have heard since the meeting. Tiik Pixkiiukst Outlook, an eight page weekly, comes to our desk from its office of publication at Pinehurst, N. C. F. T. Spinney is the publisher and Arthur H. Spinney editor. Tiik Out look is both editorially and typograph ically all right. It is enthusiastically devoted to the interests of the section where it is published, which is, undoubt edly, one of the most salubrious and healthful in the United States, especial ly in the winter season, and invalids in the north seeking a desirable locality in which to hibernate, will find much to interest them in the columns of Tiik Outlook. The Mansfield (Mass.; Xeics. Ir. Edward Everett Hale. Dr. Edward Everett Hale was the guest of honor at the dinner given by the Aldine club of New York on Tuesday of last week. Speeches were made in honor of their guest by Bishop Potter, Mr. Ho wells, Mr. Ford, Col. Waring, and others, causing their guest to break one of his rules, which makes it a duty to "sleep enough," by prolonging the fes tivities to a late hour. From the serene heights of his more than three-quarters of a century, Dr. Hale was able to accept their praise as pleasant, indeed an evi dence of hospitality and good-fellowship but now important neither for his fame nor for his pleasure. Approaching old age has many compensations for one who is able to forget himself, his repu tation, and his position, and to work daily merely for the love of work and for the good it does. In no way has Dr. Hale shown his quality more conspicu ously than in the example he has set to all men of absolute unselfishness and un stinted generosity in his expenditure of talent, time, and money, not merely for the public good, but also for innumer able private individuals. Exchange. New York's Decreasing Death-Kate. The supreme test of a nineteenth-century city as a desirable civic home is the safety and protection which it guarantees to human life ; in other words, the death rate is the civic barometer, and as it rises or falls human beings live or die. A low death-rate is usually coincident with a high tax-rate, because an administration which dares to provide the most im proved methods in its . various depart ments must pay for them, and in matters touching human life the best is never too high-priced. No one department can ever bring about a low death-rate, but it will always depend on the intelligent and harmonious working of all the branches of the city's service. For New York City the death-rate in 1891 was 20.31; 1802, 25.95; 1893, 25.30; & & FINE ORNAMENTAL S & TREES, SHRUBS, VINES. Hardy in North and South. Prices Moderate.

A London bishop determined to preach to a coun try congregation the simplest sermon he could write. He took as his text, "The fool hath said in his heart, 'There is no God'." On leaving the church, he asked the parish clerk what he thought of the sermon. "Oh, my lord," said he, "it was very tine, very fine and grand. I've been talking it over with Mr. Heard, and we said how fine it was. But, after all, we can't help thinking that there is a God." Chamber's Journal. Burr & Sise, ARCHITECTS.
