Christmas Entertainment. M. E. CHURCH.
The Christmas entertainment at the M. E. church last night was a decided success No formal program was arranged each class being responsible for some kind of a performance there were some very interesting features. Perhaps the most attractive feature was a Parasol Brill given by the handsome young Misses that compose Miss Lulu Crawford's class. Henry L. Moore's class of boys sang from Old Missouri Harmony greatly to the delight of the large audience. Mr. Calvin Sample acted as master. E. E. Stoner's class of ladies sang a very pretty Christmas Anthem. A number of recitations and songs by the members of the younger classes were given.
Miss Etta Howden represented Manville H. Gant's class by singing "The Man of Gallilee." Robert L. Mason represented A. J. Reynold's class and recited '-The Sale of Old Bachelors." The classes of E. W. Felt and George W. Duncan each presented tokens of regard for their teachers, the former with a box of beautiful flowers and the latter with a Teachers Bible. At the close of the literary and musical entertainment three hundred bunches of candy and nuts were districuted among the pupils of the school. The various committees did their work well and deserved special credit every body went home happy feeling that that it was good to be there
This Sunday school is one of the best schools in this part of the State. It has a model Snperintendent in the person of John H. Binford and he is ably assisted by as good a corps of teachers as can be found anywhere.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
The entertainment at the Christian church last night was highly enjoyed by the little folks, and pleased everybody. It was gotten up merely for the Sunday schoel and was not a long or tedious program. None deserves special mention as all did their parts well. At the close Miss Maude Tyner was called on the platform by Elder Gard who, in a few words, presented her with a handsome present from the school, as a mark of appreciation of her services as organist. The school wishes to thank Mrs. Arthur Wiley for the use of her organ and furniture.
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH,
At the Presbyterian church the children were treated to a novel surprise. Oid Santa, loaded with toys and sweets, made his appearance through the gratings of the furnace, and wonder of the little ones knew no bounds. Old Santa was not sparing with bis presents. The program consisted of songs and declamations, all of which were well rendered. A nice present worthily bestowed was a purse of $8 97 to Pete Johnson, the efficient janitoi*.
FRIENDS' CHURCH.
At the Friends' church the entertainmpnt was in charge of the pastor, Rev. Wells, and John Wiley, superintendent of the Sunday school. The program was made up of recitations and songs by the little ones. At the conclusion presents were distributed to the children.
M. P. CHURCH,
The Sunday school of the M. P. church gave an interesting entertainment consisting of a miscellaneous program. The children received treats and everybody went away happy. We would be pleased to give an extend edj account of the entainment at this church but the person who promised to give us the items could not be found this morning.
A CHRISTMAS PRESENT.
After IjO These Many Years the Lost is
Found.
Some eighteen years ago when I John Tyndall lived on Walnut street, his wife lost their wedding ring and Mrs. Tyndall grieved over it for a long time but at last gave it up as lost.
Yesterday Mrs. Martha Wilson who now lives in the same property saw something glittering in the back yard and kicked it up to find that it was a ring and on polishing it up found the name of J. T. Tyndall.
Mrs. Wilson began to investigate the matter and sent Mr. Tyndall word that she no doubt had something of importance to him and John called to find out what it was and on seeing the ring he wept with joy and while -he intended to keep it a seeret to his wife his heart failed him and he told his wife of the lucky find when she began to be restless and really wanted to come down town last night to get her long lost but highly appreciated present.
Mr. Tyndall coaxed her out of this idea but she was down bright and early this morning and got her Christmas present and vowed that it was dearer to her than any she had ever received.
CHARLOTTESVILLE.
All the Sunday achools observed Christ mas in an appropriate manner. Rev. Morris the pastor of the Friends' church assisted by Rev. Miss Nicols, of Carthage, will begin a revival meeting here next Sunday.
Rev. E. W. Hammond came home last Monday from his pastoral charge Bruceville. The family will have a reunion here this week, when it Is expected that all the children and grandchildren, numbering about twenty-five will be present.
The schools are closed for holiday vacation.
DIFFERENCE:
Tennyson could take a worthless sheet of paper, write a poem on and make it worth $65,000. THAT'S GENIUS.
Yanderbilt can write a few words on a sheet of paper and'make it worth $5,000,000. THAT'S CAPITAL.
The United States can take an ounce and a quarter ofgold, stamp upon it an "Eagle Bird" and make it worth $20. THAT'S MONEY.
A mechanic can take material worth $5 and make it into watch springs worth $1,000. THAT'S SKILL.
A merchant can take au article worth $1 and sell it for $1.50. THAT'S BUSINESS.
Some people will go to Indianapolis to buy goods when they can save money by trading at home. THAT'S FOOLISHNESS.
A laborer works ten hours a day for $8 per day. THAT'S LABOR.
The writer of this could write a check for $800,000, but it wouldn't be worth anything. THAT'S ROUGH.
But when we sell you dolls childrens sets of dishes, china, glassware, lamps and fancy baskets below all competition at home or abroad, and have the best line to select from, THAT'S REALITY.
