Poovey and wife will, spend Christmas with their peo- ' pie here. Christmas Greeting. Another year has passed bv j and we are brought again to the celebration of the great Christ- j day. And there is no other holi-1 ] day that should bring to us so i much pleasure and happiness as j j tnis. When we look back through :. the long and distant past to the first Christmas, realize what this day brought to us, we should 1 have only feelings of happiness j and gratitude. On this day the , the hearts of the shepherds on t ! the Judean hills were made glad by the song of the heavenly host: j "Rejoice and be exceedingly glad { for unto you is born, this day in the city of David, a saviour, ' which is Christ, the Lord." This song proclaimed the ad vent into this world of the long promised Messiah. And this advent meant." peace on earth and good will to men." The great loving, throbing, heart of God had consented for the "Prince of Peace" to become incarnate and take" upon him- I self the sins of the world." I This, then, is a sacred occas " sion and should be so observed. Too many of us are prone to 8 forget its sacredness ?nd hide be- V hind the splendor, and beauty of •* outward show, th« real Christmas v spirit. Let us not, this year, indulge j in any wicked or unchristian acts 0 but endeavor to get our hearts v attuned to the cords of the loving j heart of the great Creator, i Let us remember in our joy ! that there are those whoaro less l ~ fortunate than our-selves who r " are not permited to enjoy the e everyday necessities as we are, n and, where possible, let us lend if them a helping hand in the true e spirit of him whose birth we are now commemorating. Work in the Graded Schools. The :o!lowing was written in answer to one of the Democrat's questions in our last issue, 4 'What is some of Hickory's greatest needs?" The people of Hickory will j have to take some steps to pro-1 vide more school building, and. to employ more teachers. In spite of the fear of contagious diseases which has prevailed to some extent this fall, the enroll ment in the graded school is more than 700. To be exact in the white school tnere are 568 pupils, and in the colored school 144. In the white school there are ten teachers beside the superintendent to teach these 568 pupils an average of more than 50 pupils for every teacher. And more than 55 to every room ' in the building. Other towns have an average of one teacher for every 35 pupils. For ex ample, in the last issue of the North Carolina Journal of Ed ucation the schools of New Bern report a total enrollment of 708, with teachers in the white school and 8 in the colored, or a total of 27 teachers. Hickory has 11 teachers, including the superintendent, in the white school, and 2 in the colored; a total of 13 teachers, and with a tolal enrollment as large as that of New Bern. The teachers in the school here are doing excellent work, but what might they do they had the same chance that teach ers in other cities have? why should not the children of Hick ory have as goed facilities for getting an education as the children in other towns have? . Christm as Services in Town. Special Christmas services will be held at the different churches as follows: On Thursday at the Lutheran church there will be a Christmas tree and treat and, we suppose, some kind of religeous | service. The Presbyterians will hold their exercises on Thursday night also, and »vill give a treat, with religeous service. The Baptist, we understand are arranging for exercises by ' the Sunbeams, with possibly other exercises, and a Christmas tree, on Thursday evening. The exercise at the Methodist church will take place on Christ mas night and will consist of a i Christmas tree and exercises. The exercises at the Reformed • church will be held at 6:00 a. m. ! Friday. MARRIAGES Married in Burke county, on the 17 Inst., at the home of H. A. Adams, the officiating Magis trate, Mr. rienry Herman to Miss Texie Cline, both of Burke. Mr. Frank Mario* of Hickory and Miss Nellie Miller of Burke w«rc married at the same trine. {Death of Mrs. D. H. Russell. After st very protracted and painful illness, patiently endured Mrs. Harriet Elizabeth Russell, wife of D. JHL. Russell, fell asleep in Christ and in peace, on Dec. 14,1908, in her fifty-third year. She was an affectionate wife, a good mother, a kind and gener ous neighbor, highly esteemed by all who knew her. She was indeed a most excellent christian woman, a devoted member of the Holy Trinity Lutheran church During the many long and weary months of her last sickness she manifested a remarkable faith in her Savior and a cheerful sub mission to his will, and her end was in seace and hope." The funeral service conducted by her pastor from Holy Trinity Lutheran church, and the vast assembly that came together in dicated the the high esteem in which she was held. Her body was laid to rest in Oakwood cemetery. 4 'At length released from many woes, Q Having for several years past been dealing in all O A kinds of Furs, such as minks, muskrats, raccoons, Q X . opossums, pole cats, etc. lam prepared to buy Q * all such furs, and pav the highest market price for X V same.

The undersigned wish to con vey their warm and heartfelt thanks to their many kind neigh bors and friends who were so ready to minister at all hours, day and night, to the relief and comfort of the late Mrs. Russell during her long illness. Their very great kindness and helpful ness will never be forgotten and surely deserve the highest praise May God richly reward everyone of them. D. H. Russell and familv.
