Salvation Army In the South.
Colonel Thomas Holland, sec
ond in cower in the Salvation
Army of the United States, ar
rived tin Atlanta, ia, TuckIiv,
where lie "is making his future
home. With the coming of Lol
Holland to At'anta, says the Lon
stitution, the Saivaiion Army in
the South wil he mven a new
impetus. This city will be made
Southern headquarters, Colone
Holli.nd bting in rommund of the
army in al! of the Southern States
And not only is the movement
to be pushed with greater energy
now that the South is given the
second man in power, but new
lines of work are lo be inaugur
ated. Beginning right here in
Atlanta a negro corps will be or
ganized to be run entirely sepa
rate from the white army just as
nccro and white churches are
conducted.
It has long been thought by
leading men in the army in the
North thut there was a great
work to be done among the ne
irroes in the Southern cities. The
officers of tho army have discu-sed
tho idea of putting men in the
Id to organize necro corps in
the large cities of the South, and
this will be a part of Colonel 1 lol
and s work lho negro arnn
will have nothing whatever to do
viih the white armies. Ihcy will
have their own leadens bands and
uniforms, and their solo relation
to the regular white armies will
be that their work will be carried
along on the same lines, tho ne
gro corps working iimor.g the
lowly of the negro race.
Ihere has been much conjee
furc us to whether a negro army
could be organized and main
taincd Coloi.el Holland will get
to work shortly after he estab
lishes heiidquartcrs here and see
what can be done on that line.
If he is successful he will go to
other Southern cities and organ
ize armies among the negroes
The Salvation Army is to be
advamed in the South on every
line of work. Colonel Holland
takes up Southern headquarters
with the purpose in iew to m.ke
the Southern armies compare
favorably with the Northern ar
mies. He will inaugurate new
lines of work for the Southern
armies, work that is being done
in the large Northern cities.
For inhtance, he will establish
food and shelter houses in the
large ISouthern cities. With the
exception of Louisville, there is
very little of this k.nd of work
done by Southern Armies. The
rescue work will be pushed more
than ever before and more corps
are to be organized in cities in
every Southern State.
Corps will be organized in Ma
con, Augusta, Savannah and oth
er (ieorgi.i cities. There are now
only two corps in this'State At
lanta and Columbus. In other
States corps will be organized
under the supervision" of Colonel
Holland, who will travel all over
the South.
Christmas of Childhooo Days.
'My f rst thought of Christmas,"
says Lil lie Devereux Blake, is of
the great playroom at my grand
mother s. where we children gath
ered tor our evening fro!it; of
the fun we had in the warmth and
light, while sleet struck its icy
fingers acrcss the windows or the
hoar frost covered the ".lass with
fantastic lines of beauty; of the
faced of thore gathered there, so
young then, that are growing old
now or have faded from this world
forever. Then there comes a
wi.ier vision of the Christmas of
the world, of the j iy bells ringing
in many lands for the feast of love
and good w ill, of the henrti made
happy by the gifts, the kindlinei-s,
the good cheer that brings light
to tbe humblest hom.-, so that
there i hardly any bnng so for
lorn that some ray of brightness
does not reach him Then yet
again, and deeper, is the reflec
tion of what the festival meitns.
It is the celebration of the eternal
miracle a materi ity, the wonder
of birth into the activities ot thi
world, that has been in all ages
and by al' peoples observed at
some period as an occasion for
gladness ; the welcome those al
ready h;re give the new born
soul to the brief, passionate years
of human happiness and human
despair that we call life."

Plain Talk from Bishop Wilson,
Bishop Wilspn, who presided
over tho recent session of the
North Carolina Conference, gave
hat body some plain talk just
before a- nounc.ng the list o ap
pointme its. The Raleigh News
and Obs Tver thus quotes him :
"He raid he hardly felt himself
responsible for this list of appoint-
ments. I have had two difTicul-
tics: t. Some have told things
that ought not to have been told.
2. The preachers and laymen
have pressed upon us more than
ever. The laymen Lave expressed
their la k of confidence in the
pppointing power. I am speaking
frankly. I have let the laymen
have their way as far as I could,
and I think they will find that
they have not done so well as
usual.

The cost of such an ollice, he thinks j

The Enemy Is Ours I
The grippe usually leaves the suf
ferer in a very feeble condition, with a
persistent cough and ether premoni
tory symptoms of pulmonary affection.
Dr. Hull's Cough Srup promptly
administered at the beginning of an
attack of grippe, will forestall that dan
gerous enemy to life consumption,
Mrs. JUggie Tulga, Ironton, Ohio,
says : "It affords me much pleasure
to bear testimony to the merits of Dr.
Bull's Cough Syrup. I had been a
sufferer from the grippe for a week, I
tried a bottle of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup,
and after taking it, was completely
cured of the dreadful cough and disease.
I cheerfully recommend It to all suT
erers." Dr. Hull's Cough Syrup ia
sold everywhere for 25 cents.

Superstitions of Christmas,
The Superstitions of Christmas
aro more numerous even than tho
observances which owe their origin
to heafiienish rites. .A none: certain
European peasants the bohef still
prevails that on Chrirtinns morning
oxen always spend a portion of tho
time n their knees. This they do,
according to the peasants, in imita
tion of the ox and tho a4 which, a
legend states, were present at tho
marifier and knelt when Christ was
born. -
In certain, counties of Kjrglanil
the idea prevails that slp walk
in procession on Christmas Eve, in
commemoration .ot theglnd tidings
first anuouuceJ to shepherds. Bees
are also said to sing in their hives
on tho night before Christmas, and
bread baked at that time never be
comes mouldy at least s boeo
