Two of the colored citizens have Christmas birthdays, Hamilton Jefferies, of Pine Knot Inn, was bora December 25, 1893. Nannie Starks, of Washington, celebrates her birthday on December 25. *' r

Probably the most unusual story to come from this hunt for. Christmas birthdays is the case otf three birthdays in one family: ^Edward Carson Anderson, bom December 25, 1936, and his two uncles, Charles H. Sisk, and (the one-and-only) Dave Anderson, of Sperryville, all three have Christmas birthdays.

There is an excellent school reading book story in this family of Christmas birthdays if someone would .word it right.

Perhaps it could go something like this: “Once upon a time in RappahanSisk

home. Mother had been sick that day, but the little girl of the family, with visions of Santa Claus and hundreds of presents for the next morning, took one last look at the beautiful Chrismas tree her daddy had helped her decorate and went off up-stairs to bed. t “Early next morning she rushed down to see what Santa had left under the tree. She was in such a hurry she hardly noticed Dr. Brown standing near the door. “Rushing to the tree, the little girl saw a beautiful, great-big baby-doll, all wrapped up in a blanket! With a) squeal of delight, she started to pick up the big doll. “ ‘Hold, there!' said Dr. Brown, ‘Don’t pick him up. You sit here in this chair and 111 put your new baby brother in your lao.’ ” ‘Too astonished to #peak, the little girl sat in the chair and the doctor put her baby brother in her arms. She knew it was the prettiest baby in the whole world—a Christmas baby!
