The annual Christmas tree and concert of Molmt, Mellick School took place irl Pownal Hall on Thurs day, December 2nd at 8 o'clock p. m. The large hall was packed to cap- acity. Mr. J. E.

The Sunday School concert and pageant given by the United Church Sunday School at Pownal was a decided success in every way. Rev. G. A. D.

El- ectric lights have recently been Installed in the church which add- ed greatly to the scenes in the pa- geant, “Following of the Star." The church was beautifully decorated and the different color effects were very striking.

Best Known “Poem

The best known of all Cilristmas poetry is that chldhood favorite, “The Night Before Christ-mas," which was reproduced in the Guardian Christmas number. Com- paratively few people, though they may be nble to recite the poes from beginning to end, know llow it calne to be written. Hcl-c i5 the story:

Clement Clark Moore, sorl of a. r'ch minister, was born near Ncw York City on July l5, 178i. He zlt- tended wilcol alld college, and graduated in medicine. Ill Jue course of time he inherited his father's property, which consisted of a large estate near New York. Being a generous man, and desir- ing to gain n good educntoll, he donated a large block of land for the erection of a college. Dr. Moore joined the teaching staff as pro- fessor of Greek and Hebrew, for which he was wicl-ely known as an accomplished scholar.

Dr. Moore's three little girls and an equal number or small boys hung llp their stockings for Santa Claus to fill every Clll‘l"i'll£‘l‘, Eve, just as chldrcn do nowadays. Well over 100 years ago Dr. Moore was helping his wife to pack baskets to be distributed among the poor families living nearby. When they were about to pack ihc last basket NIH. Moorc found that sllc wanted one more turkey.

"C‘ ‘," she said, turning to her husband. "go down to the market and gct me another tur- key." Th‘: Dr. Moorc did, and, on his way home, his mind filled with legends of thc Yuletide and thoughts about gifts, he suddenly found himself composing a poem about SRIIIIJQNICIIOIRS for his chil- dren. The words calne to him so quickly that he had to stop cvcl-y few minutes to jot down notes. He called his poem, "A Visit From Saint Nicholas." On arriving oi, his home he recited for thc firs: limo that favorite of all children. "The Night Before Christmas."

The poem was not publishccl un- til December 1823, when it flppvill“ ed in the Troy Sentinel. Then pil- per after paper copied it, and it spread like wildfire all over lll(‘ world.

“Mal-km. conditions llurc continue to be very unsatisfactory. There has been ll. steady decline in prices re- cently, the depreciation in the pound sterling being an important factor in bringing this about. Add- cd to that there has been the per- sistent selling pressure from Cana- da, with Australia not far behind. "Now that the new crop is fair- ly well assured, the farmers have been showing some anxiety to turn the balance of the old crop which is in their hands into cash as quickly as possible, in order to have funds with which to carry on, and also in order to have the grain out of the way before they become too busy with the work of harvest to have time to haul it to the rail- way. “Practically evidence have bccn illc local mil- lcrs, who have-boon able to make fairly extensive purchases of wheat to cover their sales oi flour up to tile end of ihc current year. at ad- vantageous prices.
