BILL ARP'S LET TER.
Our Christmas is over, but the
jnemory of i will linger long. Most
. all the kith and kindred gathered at
jthe.old homestead and brought love
and gladness with them. All the
far away boys save one were here
And I never saw them so happy be
fore. Of course we had prepared a
(Christmas tree for the little ones and
Santa Clauyeat.ue down the chimney
and filled their stockings and then
filled the tree with beautiful pres-
,ents and decorated it with gorgeous
ornaments. That part of Christmas
has passed. The anxious expecta
tion and wonder of the little ones is
all over, but the old mansion is still
wide open and running over with
happy children and grandchildren
and Moore's first verse was changed
.'"Twas the night aftdr Christmas the
rooms and the hall
Pad the holly and mistletoe still .cm the
wall,
The Christmas tree stands in the parlor
forlorn,
Its beautiful hangings all given and gone."
. Next day we settled down to mu
sic and song and the quiet enjoy
ment of all the good gifts that
.Christmas brought, including turkey
ij.nd oysters for dinner and turkey
hash for breakfast every day while
the boys were with its. These boys
are all natural born musicians and
what with the piano and liure un i
yiolin and half a dozen .v.ua voices
we had a choir of our own, and
when they got onto the "buzzard
lope" and other hilarities the girls
formed a ring and danced and pran
ced to concord of sweet sounds and
all of a sudden the maternal ances
tor lost her self-control and joined
the procession and bowed and curte
sied and chased all and held out her
hands invitingly to me. What could
I do but accept the uxorial banter
and as I was about to take her hand
in mine and fly round she Hashed
her Pocahontas eyes ami declined
my soit .approaches. she ilirted j
" away on' her No. 2 feet as gay as a j
girl and went coquetting with ouu I
of the boys. That's the way she !
greats pe now in :,; antiquity.
Time was when she was glad enough
o take my hand and keep it and
didn't dare to play coquette at my
(expense. But now I am discarded
and so I retired from the ring sing
ing that pathetic old song :
Tm the last rose of summer left standing
ftlone.
My lovely companion has left me and
gone."
But the frolic is about over and
the children have settled dpwi; to
he calm enjoyment of their dolls
and horns and other toys and are
still happy. Tbo. day before Christ
inas it was a touching sight to see
some of the old men slipping around
slily ill the stores buying pretty
hings for the home folks. I met
niy ;;ood brother Yarborough wad

and had never owned an umbrella.

15nt, Mr. Editor, I am' still per

been marred somewhat by my pity
for the poor credulous dependent
women ail over the land who are
dupes of that Monticello m

Many of them bezsred or borrowed
the $25, for they could not get the
subscribers, and so they made up a
list of names from their acquaintan
tances and then they went to work
on the endless chain humbug and
got other women in to send more
money and be duped.
Now, Mr. Editor, I beg .you to
put it in large type and print it in
red ink that Joel Smith, of Monti
cello, is no son of mine, nor do I
know anything of him or his psqxsr.
I saw a late issue iu which he boasts
of having 40,000 subscribers, which
dependent women have sent him.
He promised them $20 a month to i

them sold their jewelry and other
precious things to raise the 23. Mr.
Editor, do please lend your columns
to stop this fraud upon our poor
Southern women. And now we see
that another endless chain puner
h;ts started in Athens, Ga. These
frauds are bringing discredit upon
the press and distress upon poor wo
men. I enclose a sample circular.
Please stop it. Kill it. Crush it;
It is worse than the cherry tree
