Railroad Rumblings.
A crowd of Santa Fe officials
passed through San Saba Mon-
day going over the line from Lo-
meta to Brady. The party con-
sisted of Messrs. Merritt, chief
engineer for the system in Texas,
Keefe, assistant general man-
ager, Keenan, general passenger
agent, and Hershey, general
freight agent. The stay in San
Saba was short but full of busi-
ness. The News man in con-
versation with Mr. Merritt under-
stands that the matter of the
definite location of the line thru
town and the location of the de-
pot will be definitely passed upon
and announced at an early date.
He assures us that the work is
being pushed as rapidly as pos-
sible under the circumstances.
It is already settled that a line
south of town is impractical and
the road will run on the north
side.
The line thru Harkeyville has
been a question of considerable
discussion of late and, we under-
stand, the officials say they will
do the very best they possibly
can and that Harkeyville will be
taken care of in such a way as
that all parties concerned will be
satisfied.
ThereJwas no definite state-
ment to that effect made but the
impression was left on us that the
actual construction work on this
line will begin early in the year
1910.—San Saba News.
Lee Kennedy, of Ripley, Tenn,.
was the guest Thursday and
Friday of Mr. and Mrs. George
Clements, en route to the home
of his mother, Mrs. J. C. Brown,
on Lucy creek.

The Office Should Seek the Man.
To get rid of self-seeking office
hunters will be a blessing; and
there can be no more effective
way than to select officials.
“Let citizens who love their
country discuss the merits of eli-
gible citizens, and select without
regard to office hunters. The
more office hunters disappointed
the better. In selection there
should be regard first to charac-
ter. To raise to office an un-
worthy man, or a corrupt man
is to set an example for the
young which must bring disaster.
This is a little short of crime—it
savors of treason.
“Let the men you select be
clean, honorable citizens, whose
lives merit approval of fathers
and mothers. Then should come
the question of competency. To
elect an incompetent official is a
grave wrong. To vote for one
incompetent is unworthy of
American manhood; and it is a
breach of faith with those from
whom the ballot is held. To vote
right is a duty—to vote wrong, a
crime.”—Farm and Ranch.

Christmas.
The day of days. Old as civ-
ilization, new as birth and" true
as life and hope. Believed by
the early Christian churches to
be the day on which was born
the world’s Redeemer. It is not
a relic of paganism as some of
the critics;would have us believe,
but the Yuletide and the Yule-
log of the historic Goths; the
high solstice festivals of the bar-
barous Teutons, the ancient
Egyptians, the classic Greeks
and the conquering Romans
have been forgotten, almost, with
the cycle’s sweep of years and
have^yielded to the greater glory
of this Christian feast day. It is
the natal day of human hopes
and dreams for a spiritual life.
There is not in all the limitless
range of literature, sacred or pro-
fane, in all the weird and wild
imaginings of the greatest poets;
in all the legends, songs and tra-
ditions of the ages so sweet, so
beautiful and so fascinating a
story as that woven about the
birth of the promised Messiah.
The Gallilean shepherds are
watching their flocks by night,
the enrapturing anthems of the
angelic choir echo ’mid the Ju-
dean Hills, there is the manger,
the virgin mother, the new born
babe and the worshiping Magi
kneeling in adoration in the
stable of the wayside inn, offer-
ing their tributes of gold and
frankincense and myrrh before
the manger, where slept, in sweet
innocence, earth’s Redeemer,
long foretold by prophet and
seer.
Christian followers, the world
round, have read the story im-
mortal in truth and beauty, of
how He walked and taught
among men, how he healed the
sick, restored the blind, fed the
hungry, made the lame to walk,
comforted the sorrowing, had
compassion on the sinful and
gave to humanity promise and
hope of immortality, wonderful,
beautiful, comforting faith.
With praise and prayer, with
grateful hearts and devotion
deep, rejoicing millions will greet
this natal day of Prince Imman-
uel. It is Christmastide, earth’s
holiest festival.—Selected.
Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Blair ar-
rived today from San Marcos to
spend Christmas with Mr. and
Mrs. John W. Blair.
