ORAHAM, N. C., JAN. 12, 1928.
The "hold-up" business in nil
parts of the country is alarming.
No one appears to be exempt
when it comes to taking money
or other valuables easily trans
ported, nor does life stand in the
way of the desperado. Crime is
rampant.
Col. Chas. A. Lindburgh, the
"good will ambaesador,"has visited
several Central and South Ameri
can countries since the Christmas
spent in Mexico. The rulers and
people have received him with
open arms and heaped honors on
him, bnt he is unchanged?modest
and unassuming.
Whether Gov. ,A1 Smith i; ever
president or not, the law-abiding
will applaud him for his firm
stand in refusing clemency to
ltuth Snyder and Henry Judd
Gray, illicit lovers, who cold
bloodedly murdered the former's
husband. The convicts go to the
chair at Sing Sing tonight.
Charges w6re filed in Washing
ton to prevent the confirmation
of Judge Johnson J. Hayes, Middle
N. C. District. The Judiciary
committee found in favor of Hayes
nutf his confirmation will be made.
Some of his political friends, jeal
ous, no doubt, had it in mind to
defeat his confirmation.

Some Christmas Stories

Pupils of Glenhope School

for publication before Christmas, but at
the request of the Superintendent we are

meritorious effort.?Editor.)
Poor Children Looking
For Santa Claus
Once upon a time there was a
poor family who had nine children
in it. Four were girls and five
were boys. The girls' names were
Polly, Molly, Hazel and Margaret.
The boys' names were Thomas,
Harvey, Reginald, Willie and Ar
thur. These children were all
very fond of their parents and
tried to do everything they could
for them.
The children's parents were not
able to send them to school like
other little boys' and girls' parents
do, nor did they have a chance
for pleasure as most children do
now.
The little girls by the name of
Molly and Polly were little twins,
three years old and their hair was
exactly alike. They had blue
eyes and blonde hair. They dressed
alike. They were so much alike
that no one could hardly tell one
from auothor. Everything that
one would say the other repeated
after her.
Hazel was a little girl five years
old. She was a beautiful little
girl with black hair and blhttk
eyes. Also Margaret was a very
pretty child. She was seven
years and also had black hair and
black eyes.
Thomas was a little eight-year
old boy and was a very kind,
pleasant child. Harry was a uine
year-old boy. Reginald was
eleven years old. Willie was
twelve years old. Arthur was
thirteen years old.
The children were all looking
for Santa Claus. They wished
and wished every night. One
night their wishes came true.
Every child hung his big stock
ing, middle size stockings and lit
tle stockings. The children could
hardly wait until morning. f?au
ta Claus cam and filled every
stocking as foil as full could he.
Even Santa Claus had left the
children's father and mother a
present. 'I
Next morning the children were
up before their parents were be
cause their parents were not ex
pecting anything for Christmas
But Santa Claus had remembered
everyone in the house. Molly
and Polly had a new dress, shoes,
stockings, hats, and a big new
doll exactly alike. Margaret -and
Hazel had new dresses, shoes,
stockings, hats and a doll apiece.
Thomas had a new pair of pants,
a cap, a pair of shoes, socks, and
a box of checkers. Harry and
Reginald had new pants, caps,
shoes, socks and many flee crack
ers. Willie and Arthur had
pants, caps, shoes, socks and a
rifle apiece. Their mother had a
new dress, slippers, hat, stock
ings and a set of nice dishes.
Their father bad a now pair of
pants, a hat, shoes,- socks and a
load of wood for them to burn.
All the family was very happy
over their Christmas preseuts that
Santa Claus had brought to them.

A Happy Christmas for
Nell and Her Mother.
Little Nell was a very poor girl,
whose father was dead. She aud
her mother lived alone near a
large city. All that she hud to
play with was her little dog.
When they went to the city she
wonld see the beautiful things iu
the store windows, so this qiade
her think that it was getting near
Christmas. Though she longed
for some of thorn, she knew she
could not get them, for it would
be a lot if she got a stick of can
dy. She had a rich uncle, and a
few days after that she found
that her mother had received a
letter from him telling her that
he was coming to visit her Christ
mas and asked her if he could
come to live with them. Of
course the letter was answered
yes, because they were so lone
some there alone, with uobody to
keep them company but the little
dog. They were expecting him
any time, so there was a rush un
til he caute.
A few days before Christmas
he arrived, saying that bis trunk
would be*there in a few minutes,
which contained a few presents
for them, which-he hoped they
wonld like. He petted the dog
and said it was a nice one.
At last the trunk arrived and
there was such a rush to get it
open. When it was opened, there
were such presents as they had
never seen before. There were
_
ilolls and all kinds of toys, dresses,
coats and bats for Nell. There
were dresses, coats and dishes for 1
her mother.
When Christinas came, there
were more presents. They had a
merry Christmas, and they were
also happy because Nell's uncle
was going to live with them al
ways. Christine Young.
