Marietta who crys sometimes. I

On The Rounds With
The Circulation Man
Christmas most certainly has taken
Haywood county by storm. Every
where the Circulator has been of late
the birthday of our Saviour has been
the chief topic of interest. Beauti
fully decorated trees are the order of
the day. Town and country.
And holiday time means moving
time for some.
Just as soon (most any day now)
as the new home on the . Coleman
Francis farm in Crabtree township is
ready for occupancy, one round of
moving will commence. As follows:
The Francis' family will move.
Then Sam Green of the Lake Juna
luska region (Liner cove to be pre
cise) will move in the home formerly
occupied by the Francis family, that
being included in the part of their
farm which he purchased recently.
Then Robert Hoga, of Iron Duff
township, will move to Liner cove,
and occupy the erstwhile Green home
site. Charles Brown, of the Clyde sec
tion, is improved this week, according
to members of the family.
Hobbling around this week is Fred
Thompson, of Lake Junaluska. The
leaders in his right foot have decided
to take a rest; hence a cast and the
aforesaid hobbling. Meanwhile, his
job at the Champion Fibre company
plant will be cared for by a substi
tute for six weeks or so.
School houses appear strange this
week. Silent. Queer how much -difference
it makes. Incidentally, the
Circulator took some time off from his
regular duties during the second and
third weeks of December to chauffer
Santa Claus to the various schools.
And enjoyed it.
But inso doing, he may have failed
to get to some of you folks for re
newals as soon as he should have.
In that case, any of you who have
that $1.50 about to burn holes in your
pockets are invited herewith and now
to come into the office with the same.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year.
The gift we treasure most was not given at this
Christmastime ... but rather it was given all
through the year. This gift is your friendship
and patronage. We treasure it most because we
know it is your way of showing us that our ser
vice has been welcomed by you, and that you
value this service. So for another year we say
"Merry Christmas to All!"

All the good things of the season ... health, happiness g
and prosperity heaped up in ample measure . . . w
this is our wish for you and yours on g
these glad holidays. The very :
Merriest Christmas Ever.
