At the Sunday school of Central Methodist church the usual Christmas program has been changed; and this year the children will make offerings for the benefit of the various mlsslohn In the city Instead of receiving treats themselves. ' Before It has been cus tomary to have a tree or some other arrangement by. which the members of the school received presents; but Is thought that It will be more pleasant for the children to have them make contributions which will go to ward cheering the hearts of others who may not be quite so fortunate as the. 'children of the school.' The offering will be taken at. an en tertainment to be given at the church tomorrow night from 7 to 8 o'clock, for which an interesting program has been arranged.

ITarm at sgro Received Change for a Bad Bill and De-1 ; . campei. Will Ingram, colored, was before Judge Adams In police ' court this morning to answer to the charge of stealing the sum or 18.25 from Bax ter Buckner, a ' white:, 'man.i. 'There were only two witnesses examined, both of these testifying tor the state.. The court did not consider It neces sary for the' defendant ' to Introduce I any witnesses to try to prove an alibi as he considered that ther. state , had made out a prima facie case against Ingram; accordingly, , the ; defendant was bound over to Buperlor, court un der a bond of $200.. He could not give this bond and was committed to the county Jail to await his trlal.y Mr. Buckner was the chief prose. cutlng witness and stated -that on Monday, December he had eonie to Asheville with some geese. Me said that he met the defendant or Lexington avenue and the .latter told him he wanted to buy some ol tl)e tse: that he would take two of them; but when he brought them up Ingram told him he -would have to deliver them for him. It was then well after dark. : ; ;;. ? All had gone welt untH that time, he said, bjut all the trouble came when he went with the negro,', somewnere down on Church street, to deliver the fowls and -receive his pay. He said the negro carried him to a house In that vicinity and showed him where to take the geese; then askqd him If he could change a $10 bill and get his pay. He replied that he could. and the negro placed bill of that denomination In his hand, and lie gave Ingram $8.25 In change. On examin ing the bill he found that It was.no good, whereupon he demanded his money back and made a motion to wards his pocket. . He said that In gram then told him he would give It to him and reaching out for the 1)111 grabbed both the bill and Mr. Buck ner's hand and then held him until he bad searched his pockets to find If he had a gun; and finding none, had run off with the counterfeit bill and the change. That was the last he had seen of the negro, he said,, un tl! last night, when the negro was caught; but he Identified him without question. , . Patrolman M. T. Anger corroborat ed this testimony, saying that Mr, Buckner had come to him on the night he lost the money and. had givn a good description or tne negro. It developed during the trial ' that Ingram Is a negro of bad reputation that he has been Indicted several times for 'larceny and" has served time for the same. He Is known to the police force as a pretty bad character, There was another man In the- court room who said that Ingram had once de frauded him In about the same way and It Is likely that several other cases will be- brought against him be fore he gets out of the present trouble. :v a Z 1 If it Snows Xmas Shoes will Make Comfort Complete Here's where we keep all kinds of shoes at all kinds of prices for all kinds of feet. v We believe we have everything that's good in foot coverings.
