Tragedy if Child Should Have
Christmas Come And Go
Without Ecstasy
II*' YOU have no child of
your own, you must borrow or
beg one ;for Chirstmas eve
for it is the time when the
world lights its happiness with
a child’s joy, writes Dr. .James
I. Vance, in the Illinois State
•I ournal.
Only a child may have the
light of way on Christmas eve.
1 you do not stand in with the
children, you must stand aside.
It is the hour when the world
makes a cradle its shrine;
when not only wise men from
the East, hut grown-ups from
all parts of the compass slip
down over the hills of memory
toward childhood’s dawn, say
ing under their breath; “We
have seen his star in the East
and are come to worship him.” i
What a wonderful thing is
this yearning of the old world
for the happiness of children
that climaxes at Christmas!
The better side of human na
ture comes to the front. We1
thiow off our cynicism. Mean
ness is shamed into generosity,1
and for a little while on Christ
mas eve the tightwads of earth
have a look in on paradise.
Was there ever a sweeter
eagerness, a holier joy, a more
heavenly anticipation, than that
which all thiough the house is!
felt on Christmas eve? Every j
< nc is thinking of making
■amebody happy. The deliei-j
oiv s'cietiveness of it intensi-j
fie." the thiill. Cate is forgot
ten. Expectation is ringing tht
bells. Peace is over all the!

world. And the hero is a child.
Thank God for children!
“Of such is the kingdom of
heaven”. It is a sin to disap
point a child. Then it must
please God when we make the
children happy.
If there is no child in your
home, maybe there is one on
your dooi’step, waiting for you
to be its saint Christmas eve.
There are certainly some there
in the street. They are look
ing at the toys in the window
with wistful faces, and wond
ering what the lover of child
ren will bring them. It is your
t me to play, and hearts are
trumps!
What a tragedy if a single
child in your town should have
Christmas come and go with
out an ecstasy.!

day night in the act of robbing
Jimmerson Brothers’ store in
: Logan township.
Theo Jimmerson who con
' ducts the store, lives just
j across the public road a short
! distance from the store. He
jwas awakened during the night
by a muffled noise. H e
thought the noise was at the
store, but after going to his
bedroom door and listening a
few moments the noise ceased
and he decided he was mistak
en and went back to bed.
Hearing the noise again in a
I short time, he awakened Mr.
Wherry, an old gentleman
vho was staying with him, and
together they went over to the
store. ivir. vv nerry tnrew a
rock against the store and one
of the Holmes boys made a
hasty get-away. The other
was hemmed in the store and
Mr. Jimmerson attempted to
shoot at him, but his gun snap
ped. Boyd Holmes who had
escaped, began firing at Jim
iiierson and several shots
were exchanged but all went
wild.
Mr. Wherry yelled for help,
and Boyd Holmes who had es
caped ran back, thinking
it was the boy he left in the
store that was crying for help.
When Boyd Holmes ran back
to the store, Mr. Wherry nab
bed him although Wherry was
unarmed, he took Holmes gun
away from him and held him
until help arrived. Fitzhugh
Holmes who was still in the
store was then captured and *
the piar were turned over to
Sheriff Harris and taken to
Batesville and placed in jail.
Boyd Holmes is about 25
years old and is married and
has a family. Fitzhugh Holm
les is only about 19 years old
and is a nephew of Boyd
Holmes.
Fitzhugh Holmes has been
attending school at Sulphur
Rock. Both come of good
families and have never been
in trouble. It is said, however,
I that the gun taken away from
Boyd Holmes by Mr. Wherry
was later identified by Dr. J.
[P. Dorr as one that was stolen
from his store when it was rob
bed recently. It is said that
other things that have come
to light since their capture, lead
the officers to believe that the
I Holmes boys have been impli
cated in other robberies in
^that community.
