RESIDENCE OF J. NUNAN, JACKSONVILLE, OREGON PRODUCTS OF JACKSONVILLE, OREGON Almon Tree in Bloom, A profitable industry HOLIDAY GREETINGS A CHEERFUL GIVE I May the time soon come when all the nations of earth, whatever their bound aries and whatever their forma of gov ernment. can be included under the peaceful and friendly title of “The United States of Christendom’’. Oliver Wendell Holmes “The Lord loveth a cheerful giver,*’ and “It is more blessed to give than to receive,” are faithful sayings, and worthy of all acceptation. Give where your gift is needed, where it brings joy and gladness, and your own heart will swell wi'h real pleasure. To lav ish gifts upon the rich, the strong, the powerful, in the hope that you may re ceive in turn, is mean, groveling and pitiful. Don’t belittle yourself that way. Give freely only where love prompts, or better yet, go out among Gol’s poor, hunt out those less favor ed or less fortunate and .do acts that will brighten human lives and the brightness will come back into your own heart by reflection. The great and noble characters of the world, the men in all ages who have been admired and loved have been the generous men. The shunned and hated and despised creatures of the human race have always been the misers, the stingy, grasping hoarding pinching wretches who valued money above heman souls, and hugged their wealth in the face of misery. The world shouts and laughs when such men die, but it follows the generous man to his grave with tears and real sorrow. The United States, the greatest op portunity ever offered to man. Each citizen shall 1 urgj hi nialf and thi n - tion onward in intelligence, indus.ry, honor and benevolence. David Swing. FIG TREE, JACKSONVILLE, OREGON Our Chri; tmas Tree. O, our ( hrist- mas tree so bright an 1 green, awaits Old Santa Clause, And the chim ney place all swept and clean gapes w de its ponderous jaws. 'J he little stockings are all hung up, and baby’s just makes four, won’t old Santa Clause be surpris ed when he finds there is one more! There’s an elegant place up in the tree to hang Johnny’s gun, and a place for May and one for Kate to leave their dolls upon. But for little baby blue eyes a lower branch he must choose, where she may reach and find the place he’s hung her first new shoes. Turn down the fight a lit tle now, so Old Santa Clause can see, And baby and ail must go to bed and be as good can be, and tomorrow morn get up early after a long night’s sleep, anil come softly down to the Xmas tree and see Who will get the first pe p.

Yes Christmas is drawing very near Then let i s with one hand tender y cling to the oM year while we stretch forth the other t > greet the new. To some it has been a year of prosperty, to others, one of adversity and sorrow. As we look back over past events we cannot fail to note the absence of many that were with us a year ago. But now they are gone, been called home to return no more. This time last year they were planning a surprise for some one near and dear to them in the way of a Christmas present that would cause them to be rembered ns tl e years roll i n bringing the joyous Christmas time. Phots by Hull Chamberlain’s Liniment is one of the most remarkable preparations yet produced for the relief of rheumatic pains, and for lame back, sprains and bruises.

My trouble was a heavy dull feeling after eating—D avid F reeman , Kempt, Nova Scatia. These tablets strengthen the stomach and improve the digestion. They also regulate the liver and bowels. They are far superior to pills but cost no more. Get a free sample at Robin- ron’s City drug store and see what a splendid medicine it is.
