ALLENSVILLE NEWS.
On Friday nigbt Dpt. 28th Allensville
High School had an entertainment
'including a Chrlatmas tree, and
notwithstanding the many big things
J|at are being pulled off in other
parts of the County Richard doubts
whether there was, or will be, a more
titiful tree in the Cpunty than this
'was, and a better Santa Claua
Id be hard to. liod. He lookjd old
and careworn, but Vet jolly and happy
as ever. There was very little
speaking of any kind, brother Crumpton
made a short talk and prayed
and Miss Gladys Stroud entertained
us with tine music and had some ot
her pupils recite poetry. But I fflusi
get bajk 60 the Christmas tret, for
Mrs. Kichard and Richard, witft the
little Richards, were" there ana a:
they had never seen many Christmas
trees they were simply astonished tc
find, so much wealth and beauty tied
to one tree, and while the teachers
seemed to be the largest recipients
and sonsy got several presents?and
this seems almost superhuman wher
you take into consideration the great
mass of humanity that was there.
Richard, When he lqoked over the
crowid could n<Jt help his memory
running back some eight or ten years
ago when brother Beam was preaching
consolidation of our one teacher
schools and trying to get us.all-oi
one mind in .regard to it, and at one
time the whole matter was hiflged
on the way Bichani yoted as tc
Whether, we should bind ourselves tc
the State to get the money or not
So he votetf in the affirmative and w<
had a difference of opinion a* to the
location. Richard, perhaps a little
aelflsh, thought it should be built neat
Allensville church and brother Beam
sided with him, but there was more
money in favor of having it built
where it now stands, and brother ^
H. Gentry gave two acres of land it
order to have it put near his home
but I believe we were all mere dreamers
as to what the future woultT"be,
for notwithstanding there has beer
an addition put to this great building
lately, there is said to be little
spare room, for we are a prolific
.people raising moTe than two babies
where we used to. However, taker
as a whole this seemed to be a happy
bunch, full of the Christmas spirit
with the other kind entirely absent
so far as I observed for Mr. Long
our Sheriff, has been making it rather
interesting for the bootleggei
since we had our young war at Allensville
soipe Saturday nighfa age
between whites and colored. For boow
no doubt was the cause of it all, am
there is no doubt but Melvin Lons

PROTECT THE BIRDS
o i.
Dear Mr. Editor:.?
I read with interest and appreciate
very much, jpour editorial In ?
recent issue of yuoff paper in reg?*j
to the cofinty game law.
I tent triad dyop-are a]i?ad of the
bir!.; are doing sorrtSQnng to'
protect themi'* As yon*saHfc thev
are wortn a great,,deal to' uefarmers
especially the partriges, and if there
is not more done to protect them,
they will soon be entirely destroyed."
Some of us are "unalterably opJ
posed to this wholesale slaughter of
useful, beautiful and innocent birds,
and much of this -work of destruction
is done by supposed gentleman
sports, from a distance. They cqjne
on autos and with setter dogs and
machine guns and it is woe to Bob
White,and bis family, and often
birds are wounded, and suffer days
before they die . but seme people
see nrtto care hut little for anything.
e*cBjn, meir oiyis ggratuiCation.
There are plenty of rabbits, some
squirrels, turkeys, etc., which I suppose
no one object to being: killed.
: I wish partridges could be let alone
for three or four years, let them in:
crease, multiply and be plentiful, as
; they once .were.
And some of us bate litigation. We
; do not want to go "to law. or indict
any one, but there are times when
patience and forbearance cease to be
; virtues. And t believe if there in
i n'tmore respect and regard for the
game laws, that some one will know
something .about what it costs to
violate them.
I thinkk we should protect the
useful harmless ""< Ko.i.tiful hliS.
which the Lorij has given to bless
i mankind, and beautify the world,
for the earth would be a cheerless
place if it were not for these.
Now a few words in anothy direstion
en another subject,
i I read with pleasure and profit
your editorial in the last issue of
your paper, "Perton County and
' Cotton," and I believe you gave the
. farmers good advice when you t^d
them to plant sortie" of their acres in
, cotton. Yea. I believe it would be a
, good plan if the farmers would flant
40 or 50 per cent of their tobacco
land to cotton, if land is adapted to
i cotton, negt year year. .Tobacco Is
. not a real necessity; we could live
without it. But cotton is one of the
i greatest necessities. We cannot do
. without clothes and other things
made from cotton. Again a portion
of Georgia, and other sections of out
! country, where they did plant cotton
, iwic ucpn iwrmi LU quit on in? ac.
count of the boll weevil, and much
, of the land which heretofore hat
grown cotton, will next year be
. planted in tobacco, wich may cause
, overproduction and low prices, foi
i our tobacco.
I do not see the wisdom of raising
i tobacco at or below cost, and baying
. onr cotton gods at exorbitant or pro(
hibitive. prices, and then we should
look at it from a humane as well as
, a financial standpoint. - Think about
. it. brother farmer.
