Untimely Death in
School House Fire
Wrecks Romance
GOOSE CREEK. Texas Dec. 23.
With a cold norther blowing and the
thermometer registering below the
freesing point. Goose Creek people
spent Thursday around the firesides
of their homes or those of their
friends. It waa tbe quietest Christ-
mas in tbe history of the town not an
arrest having been made by local of-
ficers for drunkenness. Officers ex-
press themselves aa unable to account
for this lack of drinking unless the
cold weather kept those who may
have imbibed too freely indoors.
While it was the quietest Cbristmaa
en record it was also the most
charitable one. Never before have tbe
people given as freely to the less for-
tunate onea of the community aa this
year. The various lodges and churches
were liberal contributors to this
cause and two benefit performances
were given to raise money for the
Christmas cheer fund.
