Christmas at Old Rock Bluffs.

opinion that Old Rock Blull's can
not celebrate Ihe Christmas sea
son in grand style, and I went
down lo the Christmas entertain
ment. At an early hour the house
began to fill with men, women and

the seals were full, the house was
full, the tree was full, everything
seemed to be full except the men,
who were simply filled to over
flowing with happiness and con
tenlinenl. An excellent program
was given, consisting of musical
numners. alter, wnien the com
mittee on the Christmas tree took
charge of Ihe program and pro
ceeded lo distribute the many
gifts, which were in great
iiuanl it ies. 1 found that the Rock
BlulTs people never do things by
the halves, and I found them to he
a mighty line class of people.
