Ihe soldiers remember the Christmas in camp, and the women, many of whom were little girls then, can recall the pitiful hardships of those Christmas es when the very little they had was made into so much. There are many incidents of the merry days when the true spirit of Christmas predomi nated in the hearts of these men and women of the Sixties. Let us have a real Vblume of stories of ‘Christ mas in the Confederacy,’ for this gen eration' to' have a real ■ glimpte'fe ■ -into the life of former days. Never mind • how it is written, send it in if it is your own experience.

Some of v the best.,.?tones will be published in the newspapers jof the State, so put your thinking j cap on and send your reminiscences -lin at once. ■ RECORD AS CHRISTMAS GIFT. | Five subscriptions to The Record i have already been entered as Christ j mas gifts.

It would be, as we see it, the greatest step possible in putting San ford and her wealth of industry anil people some eight miles nearer the state capital.
