The Sunday schools of the sever- al churches in the city celebrated Christmas Eve, asfollows: The First Presbyterian church, tree and liter- ary entertainment. The tree was tastefully decorated and the exer | cises throughout were very enter taining. The Ohio street M. E. church had a novelty in the way of a mammoth stuffed stocking covered with small- er ones, filled sweetmeats for the little ones. Behind the large stock- ing was an old fashioned fire place. The music, recitations, etc., was very nice and the whole affair a pleasing entertainment. : The Baptist church had a beauti- ful cantata entitled ‘“Grandma’s Christmas Eve.” This’ was one of the most pleasant entertainments of the evening and was highly appre- ciated. The Christian church celebrated with a tree. bending with gifts, reci- tations, songs, ete. The house was crowded and all enjoyed themselves to the fullest extent. At the M. E. church (south) was across loaded with candies, nuts, oranges, etc., and a real Santa Claus to make the distribution. The en- tertainment was opened with songs, speeches and dialogues from the lit- tle ones, and was very nice. The Cumberland Presbyterian church deviated a little from the old custom and will givea grand cantata te-night. This will be an entertain-| ment worth seeing, and of course | the house will be crowded. | ee McELREE’S WINE OF caput for Weak Nerves, ——= ee ee President Harrison recommends that the government take charge of the elections in the southern states; 80 that the coon voter can have a free vote and a fair count on the | Eliza Pinkston plan.
