Oklahoma's center of popula-

Christmas Joys
Still Lingering
Christmas day has come and
gone but its joys and pleasures
still linger as the holidays are
still with us. And the spirit of
the season was manifested in
Chattanooga in many ways.
Not only were tne hearts of
the little people made glad with
Christmas tree and Santa Claus,
I but the older ones were given
| pleasure by being remembered
Ion the day. And no doub ,
I many a lonely one who thought
| himself forgotten was made to
! feel that kindness and friendly
feeling still lived.
Christmas is the gladdest sea-
son of all the year. Should its
spirit ever die humanity will
lose its most beuutiful ideal.

The Baptist Missionary Society
met with Mrs. Claude Price.
Thursday, December 20. In
their Bible studv they finished
Exodus and for next lesson will
study Leviticus. This work is
proving quite interesting and we
hope very profitable.
An ad in this week'ss paper
shows the introduction of an en-
tirely new business ir, town.
Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Cummins
have closed their restaurant and
are r.ow opening furniture rooms
and undertaking parlor in the
same building uurier the firm
name of The Cummins Furniture
and Undertaking Co., of which
Mr, Cummins will have the full
management.
Mr. Cummins is an undertaker
of a number of yearr experience
and a licensed embalmer. His
work in the latter line has been
spoken of most highly both here
and elsewhere.
Chattanooga should afford an
excellent field for this business
and the News believes that Mr.
Cummins will succeed.
