OUR GREENE COUNTYJLETTER.
Gree!i, Greene County, I
Dec. 23. 1889. J
Editor Messenger: Christmas for the
year of ISS9. is now numbered with the
things of the past. The day was not
nnn ice one of May. and quiet reigned
supreme in all this land and country,
cor. an 1010 10 perplex or duquiet tne
community .except meagrenees brought
about by short crops, therefore ur
peoblecah cry out a3 did the angels in
the citv of Bethlehem, eighteen hun
dred and eighty-nice years age:
Glorv a God in lhA hichct unH nn
dearth peace, good will toward men."
Bacchus, "the god of wine," is rap
idly loosing popularity in this county,
therefore the sergeon has fewtr
wounds to 'dress during the holidays
than of foimer years. After spending
the Christmas day at his humble home,
it being a day of restfrom 1 ordinary
occupation, and ecjoying a better din
ner than is usually set in our cottage,
your correspondent with quite a num
ter of young and near fctrieLd?, who
were visiting our much beloved chil-
to attend a public entertainment given
oy the Methodist tounday school at
that place. They have a flourshing
and progressive school, and one which
stands the summers heat, and the cold
blast of winter without diminution,
for whieh they deserve much commen
dation. 1 ;
- Superintendent, Y. T. Ormond, who
is distinguished alike for worth, true
merit, and intelligence, with a corpse
ot educated and refined ladies and
gentlemen teachers, besides a well se
lected choir, of the best muueal talent
in this section, a large and refined dis
ciplined crowd of small, ishidren,
young ladie3 and gentlemen, made the
entertainment a perfect success. The
children recited yerses from the bible.
also poetry fom the pens of our best
poets, all, of whieh had a direct bear
ing upon the birth of our blessed
Saviour.
Directly in tha rear of the sm.all chil
dren was placed a large star, repre
senting the star of Bethlehem, and
each child . repeated an appropriate
Bible verse, then marched around.and
placed upon the star a letter, one after
an other, like clock work, and when
completed formed the sentencs, 'Jesu3
our btar, ' the sublimity of which is
beyond the ability of your correspon
dent to picture with his pen.
All above was performed, and much
more by those children without a blun"
der, or mistake, demonstrating the
great Talue of Sunday school training.
The house was packed to its utmost
capacity with people, old, young,
small and'great, all ot whom appreci
ated the grand entertainment,
A collection was taken up for the
benefit of the school, but the amount
received is unknown to the writer.
The young ladies and gentlemen
who have been off at schpol from this
vicinity, are now at home enjoying
themselves hugely. We noticed among
the number Miss A. L. Ormond and
Mr. W.v E. Ormond, who are students
at Trinity College, also Miss Bettie
Darden, with her friend Miss Sadie
Bucket from HilUboro, Pearl Horna
day and her warm friend, Bettie Tay
lor, of Edgecombe, all of Kinsey Fe
male Seminary of LaGrange. "H.''

druggist, BeU viUe, Ohio, affirms: The

have added their testimony, eo that
the verdict Is unanimous that Electric

morning
Our unusually quiet town was dis
turbed Friday night at li.45 o'clock by
the cry of fire. , Mr. Claude Summer
lin's kitchen was on fire, haying
caaght from the stove, it is supposed,
and being attached to his dwelling,
the building was soon entirely con
sumed. Everything in the house wig
savtd but the contents of the kitehea
was destroyed. Total loss about $700. ;
No insurance. Our generous neigh J
; him five,: dollars the next
and soon a purse of about
$50 was made up for him. Mr. Sum
merlin is a hard working- and very
deserving man and has the sympathy
of the entire community.
Christmas is over, and though we
had very short crops this year, our
people opened their purses and traded
very liberally, buying presents for
their children and.friends.
We had two Christmas trees in town
Tuesday night the 24th. One tree was
gotton up by the Methodist Sunday
school atid was erected in the Meth
odist church. The other .one was
made by the Presbyterian and Baptist
Sunday schools jointly, and held in
the Baptist church. Both trees were
very pretty indeed, and were a credit
to our little town. The Sunday school
children all received very nice pres
ents and were delighted with the
Christmas festivities.

The Greatest Anti-Periodic
Known to the medical profession is
quinine, the base of which is the Cali
tsaya bark of commerce. This bark is
gathered by thb natives of! South
American countries and exported to all
parts of. the world for the manufacture
of quinine. "The servant is not great
er than his master," and it stands to
reason that the extract has not the
curative powers of the orignal. There
is no more effective remedy known to
the world than Dr. Westmoreland's
Calisaya Tonic, which contains a suffi
ciency of the purest bark, and all dis
orders of the system arising; fronr a
diseased liver readily succumb- to its
influence. Ths great medicine is for

Help to Nursing others.
Mothers who have the care and
draught of nursing infants need the
aid of strengthening tonic to make up
the nourishment required for the
growth of the child. Ale, porter, and
lager beer have often been recom
mended. Of late, since physicians have
become aware that the Port Wine pro
duced by Alfred Speer. of Pasaic, N.
J., is strictly pure, they have, pre
scribed it instead of ale or porter, as
being more blood making. This wine
is principally sought for by motfli
who have nursing infants at the breast,
as the best supplying medium to be
found. The wine is rich in body and
not intoxicant, but gently stimulating
and makes good blbod. Druggists gen
erally keep it, and sell it for a dollar a
bottle. Enquirer.
