Shelton SANTA CLAUS J Came by a few days ago and left a part of candle and glittering tinsel. The j went to Victoria Friday to hear the jj lOaCl Wlttl word "weicoire in union letters pnoiiognipii. The two Chris: mas trees given by Owen Sunday school and the Union Sunday school respectively were the at litres of attraction Christmas eve, and in preparing for them school house and church alike were the re ort of busy workers. The program at the church was the most extensive, and beginning at 7 p. m. was rendered about as pub lished in last week's News. The re citations by the little folks were lis tened to with interest, the music was excellent, Miss Scott singing the so lo parts, and the pastor, Rev. J. D. Dame, welcomed those present, and at the proper time introduced Maj. Thomas II. Hill, who spoke on Christ mas and Christmas time. Then San ta Claus arrived, who created a great furor as he stamped into the church brushing the snow from his coat and blowing as if it were 40 degrees be low zero. Then the distribution of presents began, and the children were mad happy, and several of larger growth surprised, one father of a family receiving a fine large doll, another a jumping jack, and a local belle a "nigger baby." The News was remembered by tome one with useful gifts,. At the school house the songs as announced were sung before a large crowd, the building being crowded to suffocation and then after several addresses, the attention of the peo ple was directed to Santa Clans, who enteied in the same rapid step, breathing of hoar frost and iccburgs, mow drifts. and thermometers frozen up as he has done for the edilieation of the little ones for centuries, and then nearly every one received some remembrance and amid hilarity and confusion the gifts reached their re- spective owners. At the conclusion of the distribution of preseuts a large number went up to the church where they arrived in time for the distribu tion there. Everybody seemed to enjoy the occasion and mirth and . good humor prevailed. Christmas Day was devoid of ex citement, but the attention of a good many was attracted to the turkey shoot where three turkeys achieved the distinction of being shot for all day. A Mr. Lewis got the big 27 ib. gobbler in the afternoon. Tol ley and Ax Burnett. W. C. Ilober eon and Harve Carnes were success ful shots, but as they were using reg ular old-time "kickers," it is very doubtful if they will do any work for the next month. The price of arni ca has inflated in consequence. The decorations were extremely fine this year. At the M. E. Church, South, in stead of a Christmas tree a long and high affair composed of two shelves wirmounted with arches was con structed, tastefully trimmed with Lolly and cedar, and liberally lighted with candles. The shelves were ar tistically covered with cloth furnish ing making a beautiful receptacle for the presents, which were arrang ed w ith an eye to the lest possible effect. It was a creation that reflect ed great credit on the originators and builders. The motto "Welcome to All" was tastefully arranged to the left and right of the center piece, and holly decorations were plenti ful. At the rvhind house tLerc were lit up by candles w'as arranged on the wall of the vestibule, and the vis itor (Hi entering was confronted by large red paper lanterns bearing the same device. "Glory to God in the Highest" in gilt letters surmounted by a large star helped to relieve the terrible hideousnews of the largo blackboard behind the stage. Holly decorations were placed over the doors and windows. Mr. and Mrs. tt. E. Uicbards at tended quarterly njeetiDg at Io nian Saturday.

A Beautiful Rendition by the Literary So ciety of a Beautiful Drama. The St'quachee Literary Society was fortunate in securing an ex Cfptii'nally good audience Satur day night for the presentation of their first dramatic production and the tnlhusiostio reception of their initial effort for this season will no ooubt encourage them to great er efforts during the winter. Previous to the raising of the curtain Prof. II. E.Tate announced the objuct for which thse enter taitiments are inaugurated, the building of a ball for the Sequacheu Literary Society, which they gpeat ly need, and which should com mend itself favorably to the people of the place. The synopsis of the play was published iu the News of last week, and it is the concensus of opinion that it was admirably pre sented Liberal applause was giv en in response to excellent acting. Spears Roberson as Squire Hawk ins was careful and intelligent; W. C. Roberson as Dudley, did weli, and is worthy of great praise for having filled the part on short no tice on account of the illness of Mr. Charles Curtis; Sam Roberson in the difficult role of Reade did excellently; John 11. Roberson, who assumed the part of Frank at short notice, made a good effort and his initial effort may be credited as a success. In the rural part of Brown W. C. Hill both in make up and acting made a c?pital low comedy part, and surprised his friends in the creation of a different role from any heretofore attempt ed by him. The female characters were well sustained. Miss Louise Hill as the Squire's Daughter, Miss Emma Gabel as Mrs. Hawkins, and Miss Thula Martin as Stella sustained difficult roles admirably. The Society will immediately prepare a new drama for presenta1 turn Washington's Birthday, Feb. 22. Gott Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Bryson went to Victoria Wednesday. Mr. 11. E.

It was curled poplar and was bought from C. A. D. Farris by a Mr. Welch, who paid $10 per thous and feet for it as it stood in the stump. The top cut measured 1755, and there wore six cuts in all. The circumference of the three at the tree at the butt was 21 feet. The tree was quartered in the woods, and half was discovered to be curly and the othar half plain. The curly por tion will be hauled to this place and shipped in the rough, and the bal ance will be sawed at the Farris mill. The question, however, is how to get the huge pieces out of their present location, as they are 1 miles from any road. DOLLS! DOLLS! DOLLS! They have a nice lot of dolls, from 10c to 50c each.
