On no other day of the year does so much joy come to the little chil dren of parents who are able to pro vide them with Christmas joys, until their little "cup runneth over." What a day of pleasure and joy with them. Should we not let every gladness enter their little hearts with rejoic ings, expressed by the innocent ut terances of their cheerful voices" be ourselves impressed with the truth and beneficence which the day cOrn memorates.

LOCAL BANKS ANNOUNCE CHRISTMAS SAYING CLUBS The Citizens National Bank and the First Bank & Trust Co. are announc ing their Christmas Savings clubs These clubs always prove popular and very helpful to the younger peo ple in that the banks take minimum deposits each week and give back the money just before Christmas after a year's saving. This year the Citizens National Bank paid out to its club members during the past few days approximate ly $5,000, which was saved in small amounts by 400 members. The announcements of these banks are contained in this issue of The Hustler and the clubs are open for initial payments. Owing to the Thrift Stamp sales the clubs were not pushed as vigorously this year as formerly. , HOW LONG OH, HOW L0NG1 Dr. W. S.

Cameron Morrison, of Charlotte, ! formally announces that he will be a candidate in the democratic primary two years hence to succeed Governor Bickett. This early announcement is due to recent publications to the effect that he was virtually "out of the run ning," although his name had been discussed- in jonnection with the governorship-ever since he decided not to make the race two years ago. This vn lusion left the field to Attorney jral Bickett and Lieutenant Gov r Daughtridge, but only deferred hope of the Charlotte man,, who enters the next fight to stay until the finish. And a fight it is going to be, for Mr. Morrison is a scrapper of the old school and other entries are momentarily expected. The governorship is a coveted honor and the winner usually knows he has been in a fight after the returns are all in and the result declared. Mr. Morrison's announcement has the right ring. This is what the fighting Mecklenburger has to say: "I will be a candidate in the next democratic primary for governor to succeed Mr. Bickett. "I will go into every county in the State and present direct to the people a proposeefcprogram for the continued progress of the State. "For more than twenty-five years 1 Tiav fHvpn much of mv time and thought to public questions and par ticularly to the democratic party ana as I grow older 'the spirit .0. puoiic service becomes stronger in me . 1 would fully appreciate the hivh. honor of being governor of our great State. But I would not go through such -a contest as is possibly in front of me for the; honor alone; I, hare a deep desire for the larger opportunity to serve the State and its people afforded hv that high office." - jwr. iVlorri&OU aumij, mo iy6 party Service and his high standing in democratfcPcouncils are to his credit. He, has. been fighting the battles of hispafey, itx. season and out' of season for 1 twentyflvey ears . Courageous, SOLDIERS IN CASUALTY LIST The casualty list of last Thursday, carried the name of Robert C. Morgan o Hendersonville among those wound ed slightly. Sunday's casualty list contained il;c name of Edgar S. Pace, Henderso-i-ville, as slightly wounded. INTERESTING HUSTLER - FEATURE IN EXT YEAR An interesting news feature of the Hustler during the coming year -will be weekly news letters from Raleigh relative to the proceedings of the legislature, 'especially as they ffec. Western North Carolina and parti cularly all bills that affect Henderson county. Hon. M. L.
