The man who carries the mail from the Smithfield post office to the station either put the sack on the track, or left it so near it that a fast i passing train ran over and lfcft it in very bad condition. Christmas Tree at Johnson Inion Church. Last spring a Sunday school was organized at Johnson Union Free-Will Baptist church on the Smith field and Clayton road four miles from Smith field. Mr. S. C.

Christmas night was the time set for a Christmas tree. Before six o'clock the church was full of people, and later they came and filled the aisles of the church and thoroughly enjoyed the Christmas exercises and the distribution of pres ents which followed. The exercises began with singing, Bible reading and prayer. The address of welcome was delivered by Pearl Stephenson, a daughter of Mr. C. Q. Stephenson. The other exercises which consisted of sonijs and recitations were very inter esting. Every Sunday school scholar got a present and there were many special presents given by friends. Two hours were taken for the ] Christmas exercises and the distribu tion of presents. Everybody left there highly pleased. THE SMITHFIELD MARKET. Cotton 29 % Cotton Seed 1.05 !
