Officer C. J. Pratt and his as sistants, John Harris and Wil Ham Leggett, who were convic ted at the Fall term of Chowan Superior Court, of using unness sary force in arresting the negro, Neil Skinner, accused of break - into the store of A. C. Mitchell at Edenton, some months ago, have been pardoned by Govern or Carr. In granting the par don the Governor gives the fok lowing reasons : These men (officers of the' law) were sentenced for assault and battel y in their efforts to arrest a supposed criminal. It was abundantly proven that there was no excessive force used in makeing the arrest, the prose cutor alcne swearing they did. Competent medi'cal examination failed to corroborate his declara tion, liut had they used more force than was necessary, there was much to excuse them. A store had just been broken into,. as several had recently before. j Pratt, ' the policeman, was in formed that the prosecutor was the guilty party, and went in pa 1 suit of him. When caught he desperately resisted arrest and fought the officers, who called others to his assistance. If, tin" der these circumstauces, human beings do not exactly measure their acts they ought not to be too severely comdemned. Inno cent men are not apt to resist an officer of the law and it was a very natural conclusion to arrive at, that the more desperate the re sistance the more certain were they that they had caught the right man. They were only doing their duty as they knew it. In my opinion, it would be little less than a public calamity for these men, who thought they were doing their duty, and Hang up the Baby's Stocking. "Hang up the baby's stocking, Be sure you don't forget, For the dear little dimpled darling Has never seen Christmas yet. Hut I've told her all about it. And she opened her big, blue eyes, And I'm sure she understands it She looked so funny and wie. "Dear dear, what a tiny stocking! It doesn't take much to hold Such little pink toes as baby's Away from the frosts and' cold. But now for the babv's Christmas, It never will do at all.

In Germany, in Sweden aud Nor way, in Russia, in France, and in fact, all over Europe, wher ever the Christian religion ob tained a foothold, the anniversary of the Nativity is obs rved with rejoicing aud feasting. The cer emonies are not greatly unlike those of the. English speaking people, though, of course, modK fied by the traditions and usages of each country.

It will be re membered that the Prince died on December 14th.. and ever since that event the day has been a sacred one to his widow. This sad anniversary, coming as it does so near Christmas, has changed the mode of observance of that holiday. For a long time after the obsequies there were no Christmas festivities, but as time went on and the deep wound was healed, the Queen returned to her old life and ways Christmas, though shorn of many of its former gayeties, still reigns supreme at Osborne, where the Queen always spends her Christmas. She has always gone there since the death of the Prince, Windsor being too full of sad memories, so that after the ser vices held on the anniversary of the Prince Consort's death the court goes to the Isle of Wight. The Queen always attends church 011 Christmas Day and receives the holy communion with those of her family who are with her.

The proof: Little Bettiua, three years old, has a rag doll with whom her re lations are particularly tender and sympathetic. A morning or two ago this doll was discov ered near the fireplace in a shock ing condition. Slie was black in the lace and, m fact black all over, and the smell of soot about her was very strong. It was a mystery until Bettiua was inters rogated.

There are those, no doubt, who find it difficult to under stand that it is better to give than to receive, but to the cheer ful giver the maxim is not with out appreciation, neither is it difficult. of understanding. The happy, joyous Christmas time is the season of remembrance, and if the truth were known as be tween the giver and receiver, the happier of the two is the former. Shakespeare has said, "One touch of nature makes all the world akin," and he might have added that charity is a bond of universal brotherhood. The star of Bethlehem appear ed in the east eighteen hundred and ninety-six years ago, and charity had its origin in the teachings of Him who was born on that blessed day. It was on that day that the world was re deemed from darkness, and er ror, and uncharitableness, aud in augurated the noble idea of brotherly love which makes the whole Christian world, at least, akin. The greatest giver of all is He who gave His only begot ten Son, that peace and happi ness might be the blessing of man. There can be no doubt that each Christmastide makes the world better. It always leaves a kindier, a better, a more loving spirit among men, and it is because of this that the season "is associated with all that is tenderest, sweetest and holiest in human life." In all Christian countries this day will be ob served with religious ceremonies with feasting and rejoicing. It inaugurated the reign of charity in the world. L,et it not be for gotten, then, amid the general joy of the occasion, that there are those among us who are less favored than oursejves. Let us strive to make others haonv. Let aU rejoice that Christmas was given the world alike for all of God's creatures. He that giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord." In this happy, joyous Christ mas times the Fisherman & Farmer extends the compli ments of the season to all its readers and wishes them many returns of the day. X-t;-li-i,I.rX.Ii-ti-!i.rl vX . . mm .
