Dec 27 When the glor- . tea, the display, the pomp and circum stances of the Jamestown Exposition to be held near Norfolk, Virginia, have passed into the realm of dreams the beautiful Colonial City will still stand an enduring monument to Virginia's enterprise and energy. Hardly a visitor to other Expositions has-turned away without regret in his heart that so mui-h heauly of architect and landscape fust be destroyed. : ,'he exposition as a whole is always the greatest exhibit at these wonderful creations of man's genius, and it is painful after seeing their glories to know that they must at last be turned over to the vandal and perish from the earth to live ' thenee- . forth only in picture or in memory, - - When on the night of October 31t 1904 "Tresllent "TraiOTsTurned out forever the lights that made fairyland 'of the Louisiana Purchase "Exposition, the assembled multitude turned away with sobs in their hearts for the occasion had In it the sadness of death. Cardinal Gibbons, of Baltimore, when in Norfolk, the nlli-T. d'iv j protested against this s.u'.nfii-iMif beauty and genius. He said: "You have departed from the ways of other expositions especially in your buildings. I have always thought it vandalism to destroy created beauty in the form of either landscape or buildings Other expositions have constructed but! to tear down and leave a void in the' heart and mind of all who have looked Make of this a permanent park, which will stand as a monument of what the Jamestown Exposition seeks to com memorate. Other expositions passed to forgetfuiness. Let this one be an ex- eeption. Your beautiful grounds and quaint buildirgg will be a source of pleasure to tl ousands long after the . Expositor. closes its gates." And so it shall be. The Colonial City la not to be given over to. the wrecker and the vandal when the gates are closed in the night of' November 30, 1907, but will endure to delight and in struct posterity. It is to be permansnt and this was early decided upon by its projectors. The plsn adopted U a thing new is the history of expositions and an outline will be of interest. The grounds upon which is located the ex position was bought outright and is owned in fee simple by the Jamestown Exposition Company, incorporated. It is the most desirable and best located parcel of grounds in Tidewater Virginia) and must soon become immensively val uable as terminal property for railway and marine interests. Already it has appreciated materially in value since the Exposition began to be exploited and adjacent property, too. has ad' vanced, so that the Exposition stock' holders already see dividends in pros neck All of the utilities including, water, electric lights and the sewerage system are buill for permanency atd will be most complete in every way. All the stste buildings, tlie shops of the Arts snd Crafts Village the 'great Administration building and its .asso ciated structured and the beautiful piers extendi ng 2400 feet into Hampton Roads are built to stand for ages, and the water front boulevard landscape architecture, flower gardens and parked squares are aft designed with the idea of permanency. Some o' the greatest exhibit structures will be demolished in time, but their removal will not not mar the "pictures"; in truth their ab sence may accentuate its beauties. It is certain that this Colonial City will be the show place of Tidewater Virginia for a generation or longer. It will have all the utilities ..J conven iences of a city within itself and in fact it will he the nucleus of a new city to take its place among the progressive miinic:pilitiea of the tidewater di- t '. t. 1 State that desires to erct a buiUin.? on the expo-' :n p -..!

In this latter case no rental is charged for the ground occupied and in the for mer case a very, reasonable price is fixed.;;1. ;' ' i- In every case, almost, the states will erect permanent buildings. After the Exposition the states may sell their buildings and grounds to the Jamestown Exposition Company, who will undoubtedly get first call on the property, or- to private individuals or companies who may want the property for residences, hotels, resorts or other purposes, as all these state buildings will be perfectly built and finished and provided with, every convenience so that they will be ready made residences, hotels and club houses aud in many Coses ready furnished too. f The club house idea is a popular one as almost any one of the states and the smaller exhibit buildings, like thoe of the Arts and Crafts Village, would make ideal quarters for boating yacht ing, automobile, outing and social clubs and purchaser could be found to day to take'' them at twice their cost to build. .V , -r : The Rr Bat boulevurd, which the mu nicipality Norfolk and Princess Anne ett'..-.ly te-V'uifeg at coat ef $200,000 to connect the city with the exposition grounds, will be an important adjunct It will be seventy to one hundred feet wide and seven miles long embellished with flowers, shade traces and lights and arranged to provide accomoda tions for speeding horses, for automobiles and fur pedestrians. This boulevard will be a great factor in popularizing the grounds as a resdrU Letui rejoics that one dreim city is to endure and be made a fixture in the world of reality. Will Receive Large Amount of the Legislatures Atten tion. Special Correspondence. Raleigh Dec 27 It seems that the next Legislature will be pressed to push the matter of immigration to North Carolina, following the lead of South Carolina where the movement seerae to be so successful. There will also be a very earnest effort to seenre immigrants from the northwest snd the north, particularly Englisn, Gentian and Scandinayians, who have been in the country long enough to become somewhat acclimated and to know e- nough of the language to make them! selves understood. It is the opinion ef many observant people 'that this class is more desirable than those from abroad, as the latter will have so much more to learn in every way. The New England states are now congested with foreigners, and out - west the good land has to a very great degree been taken up by homesteaders and great numbers of the people are pouring over into Canada. - If thss movement could be divorted southward it would mean a good deal. Governor Glenn feels (hat North Carolina , made a of a million , sturdy quarter imigrants. A concerted movement, . liberal advertiseing and active who by Ml L J I T. agents will mean a great deal. It is Governor Glenn's desire that Secretary Bruner of the Board of Agriculture shall make a tour of the northwest, il lustrating North Carolina by a display of veoouices and perhaps by atereopticon views and by the very free distribution. It seems to be quite evident that the people cf the state want to take hold of this nutter at last. It is felt batter to get a few imijrrants in each locality, let these see for themselves what the out-look is and then attract their friends here. In most cases this is found to be productive of the bast re sults.

Keboe takes pleasure in announcing that be has secured the ever popular Williams Comedy Co. for a week's engagement commencing Dec. 31. The clever company of dramatic and vaudeville artists is now on its 16th season with all new plays and a com plete new vaudeville bill. The patrons of the New Masonic Opera House no doubt remember having seen this clever company last season, and remember with satisfaction bttw delighted they were with their performances, and that the Williams Comedy Co. presents what is promised. There -are a few new faces' with the company this season who are as clever as the old familiar actor and actresses. ', Ralph Taylor, fun maker, with his songs and monologues, is one of the feature specialties. Others are Kate Williams, the southern favor ite; Mayme Taylor, coon shouter; Williams and Williams, champion song and dance artists ($500 for their equal) ; 'May blossom," the most talented child performer on the stage today, in petite specialties; Johnnie Williams, the funny little fellow with funny little jokes and buck ,dancing; ; Marie , DeGafferly, in character and other ' songs. Manager DeGafferly makes the liberal offer to cheerfully refund the price of admis sion to dissatisfied patrons.

The Day Was Marked With Every Expression of Joy and Pleawire Family Gatherings and Christ mas Entertainments Were Principal Features. "I heard the bells on Christmas Day Their old familiar carols play. And wild and sweet Their tones repeat Of peace on earth, good will to men." Longfellow. Christmas Day dawned cold but beau tiful. It was perhaps the coldest Christmas on record at least as the re cord for 20 years is concerned, The lowest point of temperature was 16 de grees which not only was the coldest of the season but the coldest day of any year so early in the season. While the frost remained in the . air all through the day it moderated to a great extent and the chill was really most enjoyable giving an appropriateness and zest, to the occasion. The merchants had a good trade de spite the fact that there were many things whicli contributed to an unfor tunate condition. Some report even a hetter trade than they expected. There was a marked increase in the postofP.ce department of Christmas business both sending an I receiving packages, show ing that the Christmas spirit was abroad in the air. The public demonstrations in the way of Christmas trees and par ties were numerous and presents were bestowed with lavish hand. "' . THE ELKS CHISTM AS TREE. Perhaps as beautiful a sight as has been seen in this city for a long time was the scene presented at the court house at noon. The Elks had prepared a tree which represented the well known tradition so dear to the children's hearts but chief of all was the loads of good things piled on the tables. That alone was a sight to sUgger most everyone and the children gave vent to great ex pressions of surprise and joy as they saw the great supply of presents. - The courtroom was filled with a very different assembly (rem from the usual crowd there and the place where so much crime and wickedness has been depicted was for the time fillad with merriment. There were at least 500 or 600 in attendance, the children num. bering fully 350. The K. of P. band furnished the music and they added very much to the pleasure of the occa sion by their magnificent playing. Following is the program rendered by them. - Waltz, Song When the evening breezes are sighing, Homo, Sweet Home. 1 March Peace Maker. March Panama Ra. " Waltz, Song In Dear Old Georgia. , March Happy Heine. . March Alice Where art thou Going. March- Chicken Chowdr. Just before the exercises Santa Claus whose other name is Jim Dawson came into the room and was accorded a gen erous salute from the children. He was given the glad hand by almost every kid in the place. The exeicises were opened by Exalted Ruler S. W. Hancock with few and ap propriate remarks and prayer was of fered by Rev. J. G. Garth. -Then to the martial strain of the band the march of the children began. Behind the rail ready to deliver , the presenU was the committee of 12 ladies and gen tlemen who were kept busy dealing out presents as the throng passed by. There were big bags of candy and fruit toys, dolls, mittens, gloves, caps, books and many other articles both use ful and amusing and the children were fairly loaded down with things before they reached the exit. Last but not least they were presented with five bright new pennies and so their Elks Christmas was spent one bright spot in the year. They left the room with their faces beaming with happiness and a feeling of gratitude for the kindness of the Elks in their little hearts. The noble benefactions of the Elks did not slop there, however, for they did not forget the poor people shut up at home. They caused to be dolivered many baskets filled with provisions of a substantial nature which were designed not only ior a Christmas dinner but for a long time afterwards. A very pleasing entertainmenb was given in the basement of the Methodist church Tuesday evening. The program consisted of music, recitations Chriat ' mas trfle and distribution of presents by Santa Clause. i the n-"!:;TMAS ckuman.

As an in fant I noticed on his body a red spot and treated same with differentrem edies for about five years, but when the spot began to -get larger 1 put him under the care of doctors. Under their treatment the disease spread to four different parts of his body. The longer the doctors treated him the worse it grew. During the day it wouldget rough and form like scales. At night it would be cracked, inflamed, and badly swollen, with terrible burning and itch ing. When I think of his suffering, it nearly breaks my heart. His-screams could be heard down stairs. The suf fering of my son made me full of misery. . I had no ambition to work, to eat, nor. could I sleep. " One doctor told me that my son's eczema was incurable and gave it up for a bad job. One evening I saw an article in the paper about the wonderful Cuticura and decided to give it a trial.
