At 7:30 the church was tilled to its utmost capacity. The tree was an immense holly, reaching to the top of the ceiling and handsomely decorated with pi es ents galore—from a negro baby to beautiful silverware, all brilliantly lighted with a profusion of wax tapers The exercises were opened by the choir singing “We’Jl Crown Him l>*d of All,” after which Elder Ii- Rhodes Moran invoked Divine blessing upon the congregation, followed by a beau tiful talk to the children. The bents were tlien lowered and amid the jingle of bells Old f^anta Claus made his ap pearance, to the delight of the little oues. Old idunta selected a few bo)» to distribute the presents, as his aids called tlie names written on eacli pres ent. None of tlie little folks were forgotten, and the sparkle of eyes and glow of pleasure that illumined the faces of the little ones, amply repaid the older ones who received nothing. Much mirth was created by the inappropriate nese of some of the gifts among the old folks. A doll to an old bachelor, a puff box to a young man. a pair of snspenders to a young lady, etc., were among the gifts. Old Santa Claus evi dently was rattled when he reached Forrest City, perhaps his sleigh ran against the water works; or perhaps he was astonished at the county's march of progression in buiidir.g a new jail; hence the mixing of gifts. As is usual all are indebted to the ladies for tlie fitting termination of the celebration of Christ's natal day. One Lady Says I have been troubled for years with a hacking cough. Have had many doctors [ and tried fifty cough cures. 1 grew worse ‘ all the time. 1 tried Park’s Cough Syrup aud found Immediate relief. It begins at the bottom of the disease and 1 kuow it is the best cough remedy on the market. Refer any sufferer to Mrs. W. J. Fahey. Le Roy, N. Y. Sold by Winthrop & Co. PALESTINE TIMES. Mr. J. C.

Prevention is Better Than cure, and those who are subject to rheumatism can prevent attacks by keep ing the blood pure and free from the acid which causes the disease. You can rely upon Hood’s Sarsaparilla as r lemedy for rheumatism and catarrh, also for every form of scrofula, salt rheum, boils and other diseases caused by impure Mood. It tones and vitalizes the whole system. Roll of Honor. HATCHER—MOSLEY TCHOOL L. Featherstoo.FX) M. Lancaster..100 M. Doyle.100 J. Simmons.FX) T. Norton.UX) O. Gatling.100 C. Wood.loo H.
