The presentation of a beautiful
gold watch to a beautiful young
lady, one that is as bright and
pure as the precious metal, is
always a pretty scene, and special
ly so, when so worthily bestowed.
It was a sweet conception of the
rector and vested choir to thus
remember this accomplished or
ganist. The- Rutherford Democrat
speaks very ' highly of Sunshine
Institute, of Rutherford county,
and says that at its last session it
had over a hundred pupils. Its
fall session began on Jan. the 1st,
1896, and a free scholarship, upon
good recommendation, is offered
to Burke among other counties.
Mr. John Rodrick, a very prom
ising young man of Burke, and
son of our old friend, S. B. Rod
rick, is the manager of the com

in history. The Herald wishes
the school great success.
The Presbyterian Christmas Tree.
On Tuesday evening the T;owu
Hall whs crowded with old and
young, all eager to see the Xmas
tiee. As soon as the door was
opened, each one exclaimed
"What a beautiful tree." With
its dolls, its toys and its triukets
it looked a living thing. Be-
jeweled, bespangled and tinseled
it lit the room with a brilliant
halo and threw a shimmering
sheen of light on all around. It
looked as it' old Santa had pat his
hand in a golden goblet and drawn
therefrom pearls and amethysts
and emeralds and hung them on
every leaf and twig.
L,ittie Auuie Jrwin recited a
heantitul Xmas poem and did it
beautifully. Mary Presnell waa

Pleasure for the Little Ones.
Grace Episcopal Church had
its annual Xmas tree on Friday
night, December the 27th. The
church was richly and elaborately
decorated with holly and ever
greens, ana a oeautitui spruce
tree laden with candies and
trinkets, aglow with many colored
tapers and glistening with tinsel,
occupied a protnineat place in
front ofthe chancel. "The children,
some 75 or 80, were out in force,
anxious to see Old Santa, and re
ceive fronvhim some token of re
membrance. . The rector. Rev. C.
'Satterlee opened the services with
011 laic Id I IV IU LUC 11LIIC
ones, after which a beautiful
CXmas carol was sune by - the
choir and children the whole
congregation joining in the chorus.
1 he. presents were then distrib
uted and another carol sung.
Miss Janie Pearson received a
prize tor the best composition
written by a eirl and Walter
Evans the first prize for one writ

gifts of the Rector and were both
beautiful bibles.
After the children had all been
provided for, Mr. D. C. Pearson,
Supt. of the Sunday school, in be
half 01 himself and the teachers,
presented the Rector with a beau
tiful clock, as a slight token of
their love for him.
Mr. Carl Johnson, who is visit
ing Mr. batterlee, was the treas
urer of the Xmas tree fund, and
showed a high appreciation of the
wants of the little folks in the
character of the goods he ordered,
and was very efficient, as a helper
to the ladies in arranging the
beautiful tree. Some one sug
gested that he was sorely disap
pointed because banta did not
present him with one of the
charming young ladies, whose
heart and hand his modesty for
bade his asking for. After another
carol and the benediction the little
Cjjes went home rejoicing and
wishing Xmas come oftener than
once a vear.
Sunday
evening, Dec 15th, (the evening
of the night on which : McNeely's

A Pleasant Entertainment.
Mr. and Mrs. I. T. Avery gave a
delightful entertainment on the
evening of December the 25th,
complimentary to their gifted and
handsome niece, Miss Lizzie Col
ton, of Henderson, N. C. There
was quite a goodly company of
young ladies and gentlemen pres
ent. Mr. and Mrs. Avery were ex
ceedingly gracious and pleasant,
and imparted their bouvancy of
spirit to all their guests. .Sur
rounded by this bevy of pretty
girls, Isaac would have impressed
a stranger with- the idea that he
was in search of a wife. Mr. Mc
Kesson was also on deck, and as
his good wife was unable to be
present, he too was enjoying the
company of the fair ones.
After some pleasant chit-chat,
Mr. Wilson amused the entire
crowd with his experience as a
lady. "He and a friend went with
two young ladies to an entertain
ment. ; after which, it being a
bright night, they determined to
take a drive. Jin's friend was in
love with one of the girls, and
reaching his hand to her lap for
some candy, it come in contact
with Jim's, Jim squeezed the boy's
hand, just a little, and he, think
ing it was the hand of his girl, re
turned the squeeze. And so they
squeezed he squeezed and Jim
squeezed. At length he pressed
Jim's hand to his heart and finally
kissed it." This was told with
rare good humor, and was greatly
enjoyed. After this the company
requested Miss Colton to recite
for them. This she did and most
admirably. Her rendition of that
exquisite poem "Poor, Briar
Rose" was touchingly tender and
pathetic and now and then could
be seen an unwilling tear glisten
ing neath eye-lids. The next re
citation was a "Humorous Court
ship" and was done with so much
naturalness and life likeness, that
it frequently brought down the
house. Miss Colton has rare gifts
as an elocutionist, and is charm
ing in all respects.
" The recitals over, we had spread
before us a most tempting supper
which was greatly enjoyed by all.
Jim Wilson was just as good on
the supper as he was on a jo&e.
Alter - supper we had some very
amusing games a specially good
one, being "Blue Monkey, intro
duced by. Mr. Carl Johnson. The
charm of the evening was en
hanched by Robt. Ervin's superb
solo, "My heart is in the High
lands." Will Hunt and Phonso
Avery sung a soft, sweet duett and
Waits Walton and W. A. Leslie,
each gave us a magnifique tanjo
solo. - Mr. Wilson and Mr. McKes
son wanted to sing but were ruled
out. It was a delightful evening.

Christmas Packet from the School for th
-Deaf and Dumb. -
Correspondence of The Morg-aaton Herald.
Christmas was undoubtedly "in
the bones" from the very day af
ter Thanksgiving festivities ended,
but it was not. until Friday, the
twentieth, when the exodus began,
that there was much oufward
manifestation of the iaward work
ings. On that day Miss Faison,
Miss Simms, Mr. Miller, and some
half dozen, or more, c f the pupils
drove to the station, imagining
that even the rain-drops on the
top of the wagonette were beat
ing a musical accompaniment to
the "Home, Sweet Home" melody
in their hearts.
Saturday was given over by the
teachers who remained 00 the
Hill to making final purchases for
the Christmas tree. Shopkeepers
were generous, and the buyers
critical and prudent, so, the
coming together of the two factors
resulted in a most surprisingly
largo and fice stock of gifts,
both useful and ornamental, for
an equally astonishingly small
amount of money.
School was in session as usual
on .Monday and until eleven
'o'clock on Tuesday morning.
Monday evening the teachers were
on duty as fore-runners of Satta
Claus. Thanks to the trip made
to the woods on Saturday by
Messrs. Belts and Hurd, the work
ers on. Monday found a fine holly
tree set up in the centre of the
boys' study hall. Where Dame
Nature had been niggardly, or ac
cident had depriAed the tree of a
limb necessary to its perfect
symmetry Mr. McKay had come
in to make good the lack and so
perfectly was his work done it was
almost impossible to determine
which branches had originally
grown in their places and which
had been fitted in by the skill of
man. Half past eleven Monday
night saw the teachers and ma
trons still marking and hanging
up presents; making and filling
little bright hued tarleton candy
bags ; or putting up the holly and
cedar decorations in chapeland
dining hall. And yet, after all
this, there were no idle hands for
the historic overseer to supply
with work on Tuesday.
Owing to the smallness of the
room in which, until the chapel is
completed, all school entertain
ments must be given, no invita
tion could be issued to the public
to come and make merry with the
children, but a iew from the out
side who are, in various capacities,
more or less connected with the
school, were present and added to
the general enjoyment.
After the children were all seated
and eagerly expectant of what was
to happen next a messenger boy,
forgetful, on this glad occasion, of
the traditions of his guild, came
running in with the fateful yellow
envelope in hand. 'Mr. Goodwin
hurriedly read the dispatch and
then gave to all the welcome in
telligence that,' though Santa
Claus had been delayed by a
freshet in the North West, he was
was now close at hand and would
soon appear on the scene. Shortly
after, this, news was received a
window was cautiously raised
from the outside and in came the
children's fur-clad and ruddy
faced saint. One little new pupil.
evidently familiar with picture
books, asked anxiously where the
raindeer were, but was quieted
when told they were feeding out
side. With no child receiving less than
three packages, and many, fur
nished from home as well as by
teachers, . getting two or three
times that number, the matrons
who acted as Santa Claus' dis
tributing agents, roust have be
come somewhat weary in well
doing before all the hundred and
fifty children had been supplied
with their treasures. And when
the happy little folks at last re
tired to their dormitories the
labors of their care-takers were by
no means ended. All the gifts
must then be spread out on beds
and chairs for inspection by each
one's special group of intimate
friends, and finally all packed
carefully away for the night.

late was still welcome and its con
tents will help out in various
needy places. -

School for the Deaf and Dumb,
Morganton, Dec 31, 1895.
LET THE LAW Bk EXECUTED.
Christmas day was marked by a
late breakfast, a turkey dinner,
acd a grand school party in the
evening. Not until ten o'clock on
Wednesday night did the teachers
feel that their holiday recess be
gan, but Thursday was really
theirs until evening brought an
other pupils party. Friday morn
ing the usual chapel service at
eight o'clock proclaimed the holi
days over and work in school
rooms begun again. The chil
dren had surely had two happy
days, and to whom are most
thanks due? It is not easy to
answer this question when so
many kindly hearts were inspired
to devote time and energies -so
completely to ministering unto
others. Supt. Goodwin seemed
himself so happy in it all that one
might be tempted to say that to
him belonged all the credit, and
yet, there was the good steward,
ever anxious that nothing should
be lacking that this department
could supply. Mrs. Malone and
her faithful energetic corps of as
sistants certainly proud to be a
power ielt at every stage of the
proceedings, and, most assuredly
every teacher worked as constant
ly as ever one could on the busiest
of school days. Really, the truth
is apparent no one did it but the
force of all working harmoniously
together, actuated by one com
mon sentiment, the determination
to make others happy, brought
about the success over which all
rejoice.
Mrs. Malone didn't hang up any
stocking but she very plainly
thought "something just what she
wanted" came to her on Christmas
bve. And the tond mother was
not the only one in the house who
enjoyed the two days visit of Mr.
tsettis Malone, ot Asheviile.

To the Editors of the Herald:
I notice in your paper that you
are taking a bold stand against
the yices which are so prevalent in
your town at this time, which I
am glad to see you doing and
which will meet with approval of
all good Citizens of both town and
county.. The article which I par?
ticularly desirelo comment on at
this time is one found io your
issue of Dec 19th, in which you
call upon the Board of Aldermen
"to see that ' the good name of
Morganton is kept clean," and you
ask .them to "at once banish
the abandoned women from the
town," &c. I approve of the en
tire article. It is a good message.
The city Fathers would do a wise
thing to incorporate it into their
laws, and then execute them.
But for God's sake when they go
to banishing them ask them not to
allow them to stop just merely
over the corporate line and there
remain as they have been on the
most, public highway leading to
town where they are a nuisance
and a disgrace to any civilized
country, where the roughs of the
town and county congregate at all
times of day and night and create
scenes which would cause the
heathen to blush, all of which our
wives and our daughters are com
pelled to witness in going to and
returing from town.
So if the City Fathers say their
jurisdiction ends at the corporate
line, (which it does, but not their
influence) I would suggest that
you try a little article addressed
to certain gentlemen who own
property just over the line who
live in town to aid the City
Fathers and thus banish them
from the county and keep "the
good name" of the county clean
as wen as tne town, inese are
good men, men who stand high in
church and state, and we can't
think that they would for the
sake of high rents paid in advance
in any way be responsible for
these, hellish places of vice and
disgrace if the matter was called
to their attention. I think they
nave the good of Morganton at
heart, and I think have some re
spect for their friends in the
country who have helped to
honor them in the past, who are
now forced to witness these dis
graceful scenes on their way to
and from town daily.
bhouid they think that our
modesty in the country is too seu
sativc and that I have overdrawn
this picture, I ask them to take
their wives and daughters and
walk or drive in the direction o
the Iron bridge on the Catawba
river and see what they will sec
One in Sicht.
It is due the city fathers for
The Herald to state that it has
been informed, on good authority,
that they told the Mayor and the
maisbal of the ordinance, with
reference to these characters, and
called upon them to use every
effort to have them driven from
the community. So that the re
sponsibility rests not on the com
missioners but with the Mayor
and his marshals. They have the
power, the machinery of law at
hand to drive these people from
town. If they have ever made an
effort to discharge their duty in
this particular, we do not know it.
How long do they propose to
sleep on this matter? It is a duty
The Herald owes the town to
press this question, and it intends
to doit fearlessly. We have noth
ing but the kindest feeling for out
Mayor; he knows- we esteem him
highly. He was elected by a Clat
tering vote, and we tfust it will
not be necessary to again call his
attention to his duty to the public
in pressing this matter. Ed. Her.
