resolves to be born, a time for old
animosities to die, a time when
the benevolent side of one’s na
ture should eclipse the sordid side,
a time when the thoughts should
be turned towards home, a time
when the usurping chains of busi
ness should be ignored. A time
when the child with it’s golden
curls, the man with his silvered
locks, alike cry “Glory to God in
the highest, peace on earth, good
will to men.’’ These words have
been chanted by all Christian na
tions since the infant Jesus 6lept
in the rude manger in Bethlehem.
The organs in the grand cathe
drals have pealed forth these
words and the hearts of the wor
shippers have been filled with
adoration; those treading the
flowerless paths of poverty echo
the praises*. The poor mother in
the hovel as she bends over the
smouldering embers upon the des
olate hearth, and weeps over the
empty stockings of her neglected
children'—even she hears these
strains in the distance, and her
plaintive voice, so full of want,
joins in the chorus, “Glory to
God in the highest.” Perhaps
this mother is thinking of the

Christmas days in her girlhood
when plenty crowned the board,
and these memories may be feed
ing her hungry heart. Theo
logians may cavil over the date
and origin of this day, but we will
hold fast to our Christmas.
This year it was “Merry Christ
mas” all around. Fat turkey,
with the usual sundries, furnished
the inner man delight, the social
was given play in many ways, and
in fact the day was a happy anni
versary, despite the fact that no
Christmas tree was had. Any
thing like a full account of the
social happenings of the day and
evening cannot be given. Time
and space forbids; but never was
the day more universally observed
in our city.
As we are about to let go of the
old year we realize that to most of
ns it has been a kind year, to a
few the dark side has been turned,
to others, the sunny side. We
must not forget that upon the
homes of some of our readers,
since last Christmas tide, a shadow
has fallen and the mantle of sor
row has wrapped the inmates in its
somber folds. Other homes are
like the empty nests that hangs
on the withered bough, desolate
because the life and song went
out with the birds, New homes
have been made, new ties formed
and old ones severed, but in our
onward march it is not well to
stop to measure the load each one
carries. No life is either all sun
shine or all storm. If the new
year brings prosperity, let us re
joice ; if adversity, let us be brave.
Let us be thankful that “our lines
have fallen in pleasant places;”
that “it is as well with us as it is,”
and use our utmost endeavors to
make this a happy year. Let us
quickly turn over the sad page and
look at the bright picture that
awaits us: let us quickly pene
trate any cloud that may float o’er
our pathway' and view at length
the beautiful silver lining beyond.
A sad occurrence at the home of
Mr. M. R. Porter, Wednesday
morning, Dec., 26, about 4 o’clock,
was that of the death of a beloved
wife and mother, Mrs. Porter.
She joined the Methodist church
when a little girl at the age of 13
years. She was born in Fayette
county, Ala., in 1860, her maiden
name being Miss Joe Anna John
ston. In later years she was mar
ried to M. R. Porter and from
this union were born 6 children.

A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.
A happy new year to you, child
of today? May you know more
of sunshine than of cloud, and
more of glee than of sorrow; may
your tumbles and bumps be few,
your laughter be frequent and
long, your play be unrestrained,
your sleep refreshing, your dreams
pleasant.
I A happy new year to you, bright
youth and rosy cheeked maiden of
our city and country—all happi
ness in the ambition, the joy, the
friendship, the competitions and
the rewards of school life. Suc
cess to you in the endeavor where
by the firm, enduring basis of
true manhood and of noble woman
hood are laid; with what success
comes two-fold happiness, happi
ness to others and happiness to
yourselves. Go forth gaily and
confidently into the new year, O,
you who are beautiful in the fresh
vigor of your youth!
To you, whose lives are hallow
ed with the grace of maternity,
not one but many, many years of
happiness! Live long, wives and
mothers of this land, to see the
lives you have cherished expand
into beauty and usefulness; live
long to know and feel the sweet
rewards of gratitude, of venera
tion and of love. Survive those
hours of pain, of cruelty, of watch
ing and of sacrifice, live through
it all, patient martyrs, to share
the peace, the repose, the content
ment, the compensations of the
future, that surely wait for such
as you.
A happy new year, too, to you,
grandmothers and grandfathers
everywhere! Look out upon all
| around you and see how passim^
fair the evening is; and all that is
to be heard invites contentment
and repose. You hear voices, too,
that we do not hear, they have
never been quite forgotten, and
they speak to you in the sweetly
solemn twilight of the morning
that followeth the evening, and of
the waking that cometh after the
folding of the hands to sleep.
Yes, to all, the young, the old,
the high, the low, a happy new
year, a happiness arising from and
tempered with wisdom, faith, hope
and charity.

Tar. It is the Original Laxative
Cough Syrup and is unrivaled for

Nearly every person who is sub
ject to attacks from the stomach
suffers from a morbid dread of a
dietetic treatment for relief, that
is three-fourths starvation, and
one-fourth toast and milk. On
the other hand you can eat as you
please and digest the food by the
aid of a good digestant, thus giv
ing the tired stomach equally as
much rest. Eat what you please
and take a little Kodol For Indi
gestion after your meals. It di
gests what you eat. Sold at
Howell’s Drug Store.
Food don’t digest? Because the
stomach lacks some one of the es
sential digestants or the digestive
juices are not properly balanced.
Then, too, it is this undigested
food that causes sourness and
painful indigestion. Kodol For
Indigestion should be used for re
lief. Kodol is a solution of veg
etation acids. It digests what you
eat, and corrects the deficiencies of
the digestion. Kodol conforms
to the National Pure Food and
Drug Law. Sold at Howell’s
Drug Store.
