Pageant Held
atM'E-Church
Last Sunday evening a very beauti
ful Christmas pageant was-presented
At the Methodist churchl The church
auditorium was completely filled for
the seryice, the Baptists and Pres-
. chuh was decorated with evergreens
" and Christmas wreaths. . The audi
torium was dark except for lighted
candles in the windows, giving a
very beautiful effect. The service
was opened by an organ prelude of
, Christmas carols played by Mr. James
B. Porter. Immediately following the
Srelude an invisible choir sang "Silent
. . fight, Holy Night." This was follow
ed by a processional of young people
dressed in choir vestments and carry
ing lighted candles, singing "0 Come
All Ye Faithful." A series of tableaux
were ; then shown depicting' scenes
connected with the Nativity.

' REGRETS
Last . week ' there was a Santa
Clause letter published on this page
that was . not written by the lady
whose najne was signed thereto.
This has caused some annoyance to
the lady, which was in no way the
intension lof the Press. We wish to
take this opportunity to say that
we regret very much indeed that
this occurred and we will see that
such oiever happens again. The let
ter should have been surpressed,
but some how it "got' by" and we
are sorry for the. trqjuble to all
concerned.

MRS. JAMES B. ADDINGTON
PASSES DECEMBER 1STH
On December 15th, 1930, death
came into our horrie and took our
mother away. Born July 16th,. 1846,
she lived to the ripe age . of 84 years
4 months and 29 days. She was mar
ried' to James By Addihgton January
18th, 1866. She was the mother of
eight children, twenty grand-children
and eight great grand-children.
She had a' remarkable memory
and was conversant on much of th
early history of Macon County.
Many of the people of the neigh
borhood and relatives from far and
near came to her to enquire about
their family history.
But the sphere in ' , which she
moved most and seemed the happiest

the' very least little tot knew her

motherly service she rendered thru

memory of the one whose life wa's
