A HAPPY CHRISTMAS ABOUT ST. PAUL'S.
Thinks the Town Has no Need for a Fire
Engine. Entertainments Galore.
St. Paul's December 30.
The public schools at MuN
berry Academy, Yost, Faith
and Seward reopened to-day
after a week's vacation.
Christmas has come and
gone and it has been a splen
did one in this community,
The school girls are at home
and the neighborhood wel
comes them. A number of
social gatherings added mer
riment to the joyous season.
Twenty-two guests assembled
at IVfrs. I. R. Juliau's home
last Thursday night and a
grand, good time was had.
Parlor games tand music was
the feature of the evening.
On the Friday following the
same party met at the home
of Gr. Cx. Ritchie where the
evening was spent most de
lightfully playing out door
games and target practice.
That night Miss Maggie
Jiihrd gave a social comph
mentary to her sister, Miss
Laura, who has been away at
school, and practically the
same crowd composod her
party. All in all the young
folks enjoyed the holidays
and the ties of friendship
were strengtheaea onevery
side.
This week , Misses Maggie
Julian, Viola Page and Laura
Ffird returned to Mt. PleasN
ant, where they resume their
studies in the seminary. Miss
Bessie Julian also returns to
New Lonclon to resume her
studies there.

and decorations at our church
Christmas day was pronoun
ed by all as being the fines
in the history of the church
Quite a number of visitors
were present and were loud
in their praise for the occa
sion. A pleasant feature o
the occasion was the presen
tation to the pastor, Rev. R
it. sowers, oi a nice purse
contributed by the men and a
purse contributed by. the la
dies for Mrs. Sowers. The
purses were not empty either
for St. Paul never does things
by halves. Ihis is a token
of the high esteem in which
the people'ihold their pastor
During the Christinas exer
cises a collection was taken
up for the benefit of the or
phan. home, amounting to
$14.67.
W e nctice quite a number
of marriages took place near
here, viz: the thriving village
of Faith. So far the mania
has not struck this commu
nity.
May 1908 prove a grand and
glorious year for us all .
Ine Sunday school here
raised $71.60 for Christmas
which was distributed among
the 350 pupils as a treat,, in
candies, apples, oranges, nuts
raisins, etc. This is probab
ably the largest Sunday
school in the county, and we
doubt if any school raised
more money during the year
Kjur young people wnt are
attending schools and col
leges are home for the holi
days.
George H. Page is sinking
a well on one of hisaplaces for
a cropper.
Attention is again called to
the bad conditon of the pub
lic road south .of the county
home. We understand that
George H Glover repaired
one of the bad places at his
own expense, by haulingr in
several loads of rock. That is
commendable, but the people
ot this county should see to it
that funds are divided out
to all.
jr. vj. utcnie wno was
1 T a 1 1
kicked in the breast by a
mule some time ago, is still
troubled by it.
We notice there is, a move
ment on foot to "persuade"
he county commissioners to
"present the city of Salisbury
with an engine for fighting
nre." !We otten near the
boast that Salisbury has one
of the best water systems in
the State, and we cannot see
the need of an engine. There,
are no "sky scrapers" in Sal
isbury and we cannot see the
need, unless it be for a show
at state meetings and an or
nament for parades, etc. It is
true Salisbury and Salisbury
township pay the bulk of the
taxes, but when the Commis
sioners present the city with
an engine, you will hear a
howl that will shake Dunn's
and Phillips mountains, and
from here rebound and strike
all the hills, and the echoes
will be heard in all low pla
ces throuh gout the county.
