A child is much more likely to contract diphtheria or scarlet fever when he has a cold. The I quicker you cure his cold tbe less the risk. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is tbe sole reliance of many mothers, and few of those who have tried it are willing to use any other. Mrs. F. F. Stsrcher, of Ripley, W. Va., says, "I have never used anything other than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for my children and it has always given good satifsction." This remedy contains no opium or other narcotic and may be given as confidently to a child as to an adult. For sale by All Drugifts aud Dealers in Patent Medicine.

C., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1907 Jamesvtllc_Pro "hibitien Fight (Special to The Enterprise) The second fight for prohibition is now going' on in Jamesville. The liquor people .called an elec tion a few months ago to their own satisfaction, and voted as they likeJ, and the drys did not inter fere, but as soon as the election was over the dry side simply set the election aside, as it was illegal, therefore leaving tbe town as be fore. with a good law atill iu force. The wets, so eager to get open ssloons, called another election to beheld Tuesday, the 31st. The fight this lime promised to be a warm one; the forces are about equally divided, and each side is doing all it can. The of course working in tbe dark, as they always do, for they are afraid to come out in the light. The drys are coming out as men, going to the front with the women, fighting an open fight. Rev. R. L Davis, state organ izer of the Auti-Saloon League, was here Monday and Tuesday nights and made two speeches that ought to have been heard by every man, woman, and child in Martin County. Mr. Davis is an excel lent speaker, and was at his best. We feel that his words are going to have some effect. He also or ganized an anti-saloon force and raised fifty dollars, and plenty more is ready to fight the terrible monster. The women as well as the men are high iu interest about the fight uow going on. The books for registration closes Saturday and the names on theni should be only such citizens as are lawfully en titled to cast their ballot. The christian people everywhere are asked to pray for a prohibition victory and continue the good law passed over two years ago Pustl EiialiUlii Siccisstilli James Donahue, New Britan, Conn., writes; "I tried several kid ney remedies, and was treated by our l>est physiciaus for diabetes,but did not improve until I took Foley's Kidney Cure. After the second bottle I showed improvement, and five 1 wttles cured me completely. I have since passed a rigid examina tion for life insurance/' Foley's Kidney Cure cures back-ache aud all forms of kidney and bladder trouble. C. C. Chase and S. R. Biggs. The Episcopal Bttur a Success The Bazaar, uuder the auspices of the ladies of * tbe Episcopal Church, opened at 6 p. m. Tuesday. A large crowd of happy. fun*loving people filled the Opera House till tbe close, at n o'clock. The menf- Lers of tbe decorative committee were happy In the aelectlon of the color scheme—green and red, anti cipating the Xmas season in the additional use of holly and pine. A lsrge booth in the center of the hall waa filled with fancy articles and waa presided over by Mrs. Ksder B Crawfor 1, Mrs. Frank Barnes and Miss Mayo Lamb. The doll booth, undtc • the skillful ar rangement 01 Misses Gordon and Peele, was beautiful and not only liecante the mecca of the children but the older ones were alike charm ed. One of the most attractive features was the gipsy tent with Miss Louise Fowdt-n as fortune teller. She was unable to ac o mmodate all who wished to take a peep into the future and secure a souvenir card. The candy table was looked after by Miss Clyde Hassell, aud tbe stock of iaucy confections, which were far more palatable than that usually bought soon was delivered into the hands of eager buyers. Of course, the fishpond, st which Miss Nannie Biggs stood and arranged the bites furnished fun and interest for the children. An elegant menli consisting of icecream, cakes, pickles, olives, ham-sandwiches, salads, coffee and chocolate pleased the inner man. The waitresses gave most excellent service and the Xmas spirit filled every heart. Music filled the air all the even ing, a great number of selections beiag rendered by Miss Nannie Smith The ladies of the church are high ly gratified at the success of the' evening and are loud in the praise of the splendid support given them by the public. They appreciate everything done for the success of the bazaar and are proud to have steti again an expression of that generosity which characterizes Williamston people. The proceeds were larger thau had been hoped for, and with ad ditional sales, made later, will amount to over one hundred dol lars. THE HOME CIRCLE COLUMN Pleasant Evening Reveries—A Column Dedicated to Tired Mothers as they Join the Home Circle at Evening Tide. By J. KNOX MALL ** ~ TBI OLD HOMSSTEAD. Ah! her* it is, that dear old place, Unchanged through all these jreari; How like tome sweet, familiar face My childhood's home appears' The grand old trees beside the door Still spread their branches wide, The river wanders as of yoie, With sweetly murmuring tide; Tke distant hills look green and gray, The flowers an bioota.n* wild, And everything looks glad to-day, As when I was a child. CHRISTMAS RKVHRIKS. Ring out, sweet chimes. Ring clear and loud. Peal forth, sweet Christmas bells. Tell us the old, old story ngaiu: "Glorv to God and good will toward tneu." Fill itll the land with your melody sweet, and let Heaven come nearer to earth on this good Christmas time. Is there a heart not In unfaon with your music, at this happy Christ mas time? The stars glitter and the earth is glorified, and the lights throw long bright rays on tfie snowy path, and the mother's face is pressed to the window-pane to catch the first glimpse of her loved, long absent ones. Joy to the mother, they are here! and thy aged heart is full of sweet peace. Surely Heav en is nearer to earth for thee. "Christmas eve" the wouderous Santa Claus comes to the children with thee. What visions of dolls, games, books, candies, and all sorts of goodies; drums, trumpets with all sorts of squeaks and discordant blasts; and the wonderful Christ mas tree with its brilliant lights, gay colors, and mysterious pack ages, some of which may contain the long wished-for skates or huge jack-knives. It is all enchantment, all the color of the rose, the rain bow that spans their young lives. Not all the agony in the manger, all the wonder of the story of the star of Bethlehem, of the following and guiding of the wise men to the lowly cradle of the coming King; not all the s*d beauty of the old, old story can fully satisfy the juve nile heart like these. But are we not all children of a larger growth? In spite of the solemnity of the oc casion. in spite of its deep and ten der meaning, the gifts and merry making arc all dear to us, children in heart as we are. Christmas most truly belongs to 1 the children. It celebrates t'ie event of the Christ child, to whom the wise men brought gifts, and the shepherds came and worshipped. Would that every child in this laud of abundance might receive the lit tle portion necessary to fill the heart with joy and chase the sobs and tears away. It takes so little to open the founts of joy of a child, it would seem so small a portion might fall to the lot of every child. But alas, some will be burdened with gifts till they weary in counting them, and others—what a disappointing Christmas it will be to them. Can not we be thoughtful one er and share our blessings' with those less favored and thus make our Christmas more truly happy for ourselves aud merry for many others. Where in all humanity is there greater longing, dearer ex pectations, sweeter hope than in the heart of 5 child on Christmas morn. But in oil the earth there is no look so sad, no sob so stabbing as are called forth by the empty stocking. Beautiful and right it is that gifta and good wishes should fill the air like snowflakes at Christmas tide. And beautiful is the year in Its coming and its going— most beautiful and blessed because it is always the year of Our Lord. t / - Who would take away the faith that a child baa in this mysterious personage, Santa Claus, myth .though he be, and who would ttfke from weak and frail humanity that larger, sweeter trust in the eternal goodness.' "I know Dot where Hit Island* lift Their frondcd balms In air; , I only know I cannot drift Beyond Hl* love and care.', • It was uight. Jerusalem slept as quitely amid her hills as a child up on the breast of its mother. The noiseless sentinel stood like a stat ue at his post, and the philoso pher's lamp burned dimly in the recesses of his chamber. But a moral darkness involved the natious in its enlightened shadows, Rea son shod a faint glimmering over the minds of men, like the cold insufficient shining of a distaut star. The immortality of man's spiritual nature was unknown, his relations unto heaven undiscovered, and his future destiny obscured in a cloud of mystery. It was at this period that the two forms of ether eal mould hovered about the land of Ood's chosen people. They came like sister angels, sent to earth 011 some embassy of love. The one of majestic stature and well formed limb, which her snowy drapery hardly concealed, erect bearing and steady eye, exhibited the highest degree of strength and confidence. Her right arm was extended in an impiessive gesture upward where night appeared to have placed her darkest pavilion; while on her left reclined her delicate companion, in form and countenance the contrast of the other. She was drooping like a flower moistened by refresh ing dews, and her bright but trou bled eyes scanned them with ardent but varying glances. Suddenly a light like the sun flashed out from the heavens, and Faith and Hope hailed with exciting songs the as cending star of Bethlehem. Yeprs rolled away, and the stranger was seen at Jerusalem. He was a meek unassuming man, whose happiness seemed to consist in acts of benevo lence to the human race. There were deep traces of sorrow on His countenance, though no one knew why He grieved, for He lived in the practice of every virtue, and was loved by all the good and Wise. By-and-by it was rumored the Strangei woiked miracles, that the blind saw, that the dumb spoke, the dead arose, the ocean moderated its chafing tide; the very thunder articulated. He was the Son of God. Kuvy assailed Him to death. Thickly guarded, He slowly as cended the Hill of Calvary. A heavy cross bent Hiui to the earlh. But Faith leaned on His arm, and Hope, dipping her pinions in His blood, mounted to the skies. The best part of the holiday sea son, perhaps, is the opportunity it gives for home gatherings and the family reunions that in these busy days are all too few. Many a young man finds time to get back to tht old hearthstone and sit down in the dear home circle who, if the holi days were omitted, would be kept strictly at his tasks. All the schools are dismissed, boys and girls are at home, teachers likewise are of!duty, and, with no care pressing, in thou sands of places parents and children have happy times together for which they may thank the festive season. There are other unions and reunions, all of them pleasant and helpful, but there is hardly any such joy to a youth in this world as that of getting back to the fireside where he was reared. There is a rest there for him, a perfection of peace such as that, no matter how prosperous he may be in his pur suits, never come to him any place else. Greatly to be pitied Is he for whom no door of the early home is open, or against whom it is blown shut by the pitiless storms that have beset him.
