Christmas at the County Home.
The inmates of our County Home
were certainly well pleaBed with tho
the manner In which they were re
membered on Christmas eve and the
day following. The main feature
of the entertainment on Christmas
eve was a well-loaded Christmas tree
ou which was a substantial present
for each one. Most of the presents
were donated by the merhants of
Grants Pass to whom the Inmates
extend hearty thanks.
On Christmas morning Mrs. J. L.
Calvert and her Sunday school class
were on hand with another supply of
presents and Christmas songs, all of
which were heartily enjoyed by all
present. Mrs. Calvert Is an expert
In matters of entertainment. These
old men have been young them
selves, they have seen better days,
their childhood companions have
passed away and these pleasant oc
caslons simply remind them that this
is still sympathizing world.
Those In charge of the County
Home desire to express their appre
ciation of what has been done to
make the first Christmas of the in
stltutlon one that will be reniem
bered with pleasure. S. J.

Was Santa Claus there? Yes, In- j
deed! Aand looking as Jolly and as j
rosy as In "those good old days." In '
fact, all of the older ones present de
clared they had never seen him per
form his part better. Some believe
that it was due to his meeting with
a certain sweet-faced old lady, whose
stockings he used to fill when she
was a little girl. Of course, the
children were all delighted with
Santa's visit, and would be glad to ;
have him come oftener.
