Mouzon. It Is an elegantly printed and
neatly bound volume of 281 pages
from the press of the Publishing House
of the M. E. Church Sotuh at' Nash-
ville Tenn. From cover to cover It Is
full of the great thoughts of these two
great men of whom many citizens of
Bryan and Brazos county have Inti-
mate personal knowledge. This added
to the Intrinsic merit of the book In-
sures a large circulation In these
parts.
The condition of all the roads Is
simply awful and it has been almost
impossible for country people to get
to town to do their Christmas shop-
ping either early or late with the
result that the merchants have lost
thousands of dollars and many very
many of the farmers' children will be
disappointed with the beggarly con
tents of their Christmas stockings.
Will the lesson that all this unhapp!-
ness is caused by bad roads be forgot-

There is a recrudescence of the Un
derwood presidential boom and it
seems probable that Alabama will pre-
sent him to the national democratic
convention as her favorite son. He is
preferable to Governor Harmon be-
cause he is a Southern man; but be
ing a reactionary his candidacy would
be received coldly by the progressives
and it is this element of the party that
must furnish the votes. It Is folly to
expect that any reactionary could be
elected.
We're not surprised that the "unco
guld" people of Bellefontalne Ohio
are to have no Christmas. This scribe
had the misfortune to be one of Ave
prisoners of war who spent part of a
day there once upon a time and while
in that helpless condition was lectured
by a spectacled dame of angular build
on the damnable sin of slavery. Wasn't
that enough to justify a lifetime
grouch against the detestable hole?

JEWELER MURDERED
By Associated Press.
Laredo Texas Dec. 23. I. G. Levy-
tansky a jeweler was found dead in
his store here this morning. He had
been stabbed and several thousand
dollars' worth of diamonds had been
taken from the safe. He was last seen
alive at 8 o'clock this morning.
Santa Claus goes all over the earth
From the poles to the equator;
And as a dispenser of harmless mirth
There is never any greater.
Up North they say he rides In a sleigh
Drawn by reindeer over the snows.
Possibly so; we do not know-
It matters not how he goes.
How does he travel in Texas? For here
The snow spirit never comes.
But Texas children o him are as dear
As those In Northern homes.
Maybe he comes In an automobile
Or a special railroad train;
Or better still hi3 flight to conceal
Perhaps 'tis an aeroplane.
Wuence doe3 he come? Where Is his home?
Some say In the frozen zone?
In a palace of Ice with a lofty dome
Where he reigns supreme and alone.
But these are fairy tales no doubt.
I can not believe it Is true
That there's anything bleak or cold about
The home of Santa. Do you?
My opinion Is that the good Saint's home
Is in Heaven with the angels above;
And each Christmas God permit3 him to come
As a messenger of His love.
As the angeh came in the olden time
To the shepherd's watching then
Praising God In a song sublime
Bringing peace and good will to men.
