CHRISTMAS IN McCOOK.
Peihnps the day was never moie generally
celebrated since McCook has had a muuo or
history. 1 Business was suspended anil the
day devoted to pleasure alone. The vaiious
services iu the churches of the city were
largely attended , and everywhere the central
fact ( commemorated was observed with ferb
vid rapture , and Santa Clans , the patron
saint of tho dav , reigned supremo. Many
pleasant ' and hallowed recollections will
cling around Christmas Day 1883 :
AT TUB LUTIIKK.VN CllUItCII.
On Christmas evening the Sunday School
of the Lutheran church held their Christmas
exercises iu the oj udi , consisting of carols , ,
recitations , etc. , concluding with a feature of
paramount Interest to the little folks , the dis
tribution of presents , with which their youthJ1
fid hearts were delighted. Everything pass-
ed oil pleasantly and joyously. The enter
tainment was witnessed with Interest by a
goodly audience , wlio.su enjoyment was but
.secondary < to the scholars' . The pleasant
recollections of the occasion will accompany
both old and young many days into the new
year , shortly to break upon all with lis bright
promises of happiness ami prosperity.
"saxta. crAtTs , "
A charming little Christmas cantata , was
rendered by the children of the Cougrega-
tionni ! church , in Menard's hall on Christmas
eve , iu an acceptable manner , creditable alike
tl the children and to those upon whom He-
volved < the work of preparation. The solo
and chorus work was fairly good ; the. cos
tumes pretty ; Hie children cute and interest
ing. ; Withal the entertainment was of a
pleasing ' character , and it is to be regretted
that , ; the hall was not crowded to witness it.
Mrs. Day directed the music with her usual
vigor and ability. The projectors are to be
congratulated on the degiee of success earn
ed and attained.
TUB OBItMAK CONUIIBGATION'AUS TS
Held their celebration on tie. evening of
Christinas day in their new church building , p .
and ' realized therefrom much pleasure ami
piolit. The children of the Sunday School
rendered au appropriate program of ivcitato
lions , music , etc. , iu a style Hilly appreciated "
by tiie comiregaiioii that filled the edifice ,
IU , I complimentary to themselves and in-
structors. , Two Christmas trees loaded with
presents added zest to the enjoyment of the < - •
evening. When the various tokens were de-
livcivd to the children their cup or happiness , j
was ! full , even to running over. ]
TllBMBTHUDIST CIIUJlCII "u
Was packed , ou the eve. of Christmas , by
the , members , fiieuds and children of the Cl"
church ' , to celebrate the occasion of "good "r
will to all men. " The exercises consisted of C01
recitations , singing , and the like , all being
rendered iu a creditable manner and to the "ii
imjoynient of the large audience. But the Tir
.vent to which the little people looked with Pl
I'ager anticipation was the distribution of the
presents iu the handsome "sr.ow house. " .iC
Numcinus , and iu some cases costly presents mn
were distributed from the enchanted buildsa
iug , , and all hearts were a-flutter with joy ,
md gootl will reigned supreme. The affair a0i
was ; one of unalloyed happiness , and was an he
impropriate celebration of a glorious event tin
upon which the world lingers with more of
ulmiration and wonder as the years go.
