The vows were taken before an improvised altar of green and white, the color note which predominated in the lovely decorations.

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 is growing stronger all of the tim< aniimg .tlie better class of cltigena o1 th# County for I believe they begii To rcalire-that if "he is given sufllci ent aid and cooperation will clesi | our County of the whiskey traffic.Foor Richard.

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.
