Texas almost clashed -in
the United States Senate Friday. One
of the gentlemen from Maine proposed
that Congress take tome action to*
comiiel protection to coal miners.
Senator Bailey, who aaw in this an
encroachment of State rights, vigor-
ously” o*)poaed the measure. Senator
Bailey is eminently correct. Further
encroachment on State rights is dan-
gerous.—Mineral Wells Index.
Senator Bailey voted to ‘"protect”
the pockets of the mine owners/ at
the expense of coal consumers. Per-
haps be aias right in opposing a far
less costly protection; to the lives of
the mine workers.,but the two posi-

Winched to a good many.
Owing to the bad muddy times our
Christmas tree failed to materialise,
the committee having decided it was
best not to have It.
There were divine services held at
the Baptist church on Christmas day
and also on Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. Kilgore had a tree
at their house and entertained their
children and grand children Christmas
night. This I think is one of the best
ways of spending this joyful time.
I think some body must have had
a lively time from packages that came
in on both trains to them and the
wrappings of which can be seen
stewn along the roads.
It seems to me an awful shame that
wen have the Idea that drinking such
stuff is the proper way to celebrate
the birth of the savior.

gram Friday morning from her father
