I* for il while so that the men can come

displaying some of the neckties, socks

brought them, and swapping gossip

drunks they have seen. Eating estab
lishments will scarcely know there is
' holiday, and the bus and railroad
passenger people will be on the job.
And so will the firemen and the police
j and county law officers.
i In many homes special Christmas
dinners will be shared by guests who
have come to make the occasion more
j enjoyable.
Santa Claus’ pack will be a good
! deal heavier this year than for many
; seasons. There has been more pros
perity. and that greater share of bet
ter times has been reflect oil in larger
i spending for both personal lavish
i ings and for the happiness of others,
j And Santa's visit will find him greet
i *‘d by weather more like that he D
i leeustomed to up about his North
I I 'i»le abode.
And so Henderson folks look for
■ ward to a happy Christmas holiday,
j And. then. business will resume
, about as usual on Thursday morning
| the day after- anil the morning after
| the night before.
HOLY INNOCF.NTS EPISCOPAL
Christmas Day Services:
7:20 a. m. Holy Communion.
11:00 a. m. Holy Communion with

The offering at the 11 o'clock ser-
I vice will be as usual, for the Forward
Movement of the church.
Do politicians vie one with another
in the interests of justice and equity?
It is more often the ease that they
j fight eaeh other in teaching the peo
ple. to win their votes, each for the
ends of his party or himself.

TEMPERATURE RISE
IS ABOVE FREEZING
Thermometer Stood at 41
Just Before Noon and
Still Climbing.
SNOW MELTING FAST
Minimum Last Night Was 1C Above
After Mercury Had llit Rottoni
Monday Morning in The Of
ficial Reading.
| After four days of icy temperatures
Old Man Weather gave this section a
j bit of a break today, and raced the
! mercury up to near the 50’s by early
I afternoon. But at that, there was
every indication of a White Christmas
for Henderson and its environs for
I the first time in many years,
i The official Weather Bureau rond
j ing showed a minimum temperature
; Monday night of 10 degrees, as com
! pared with zero early Monday ntorn
• ing, 11 early Sunday and 12 early Sat
i urday. The mercury climbed to slight
i lv above freezing Monday for the first
! time since last Friday. Shortly be
fore the noon hour today, the official
reading was 11 degrees.
The Weather Man Monday forecast
cloudy and eolil weather and probably
I snow Monday night. But he changed
his mind and puffed the clouds away
and brought the stars into clear view
in the cold, crisp night air. Anil a
warm, comfortable sun shined nearly
all day today, in contrast to tho pro
mise Monday of cloudy weather.
Today’s forecast for Christmas day j
was for cloudy weather anil colder.
But there was fervent hope that Mr. !
Weather Mail would undergo another
change of heart and shuffle out fair
weather with a warm sun for the big
holiday of the year.
The four inches of snow that fell
Sunday afternoon and night was still
much v evidence today, with every
assurance that it would be a white
Christmas. It was melting slowly,
but by no means will all of it be gone
by Christmas day.

here today for the first time, and
was being put into circulation in
cash distributions by the Citizens
