There was a Christmas tree at the Gov

the morning he aid hla wife and the
seven children began tne-enjoyment of
the day. .The Governor said that daring
this week he had Issued about ten pard
onsmalnly to penitentiary convicts, all
these pardons getting to the prisoners

were specially recommended. He says
this disposes of all . the meritorious
cases, " . . 11 .
btate Auditor Dixon left this morning
for Thomasville to deliver an address be
fore the Masons.-
There has been a great 'deal of com
ment on the noisy and disorderly Christ
mas observance here. Mayor Powell
said today he was earnestly in favor of
suppressing any such thing in the fpture
and that he also favored Imposing the
highest sort of a tar on all sorts ot fire
works, before and during the holidays.
Be aays most of the damage done was
by rocketa and "torpedoes, which were
used with extreme carelessness. '
Professor yr F Masaey of the' Agricul
tural and Mechanical College is to begin
a series of eleven lectures before farmers
institutes inMaryland, beginning Jan
uary 4th. That state appropriates
$4,000 a year for these Institutes and
alao paya aalary of the dlreotor. ..

Next week the auditorium directors
and stockholders are to meet. About
