And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria. And all wejnt to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Ifazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, Mrhich is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David. To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her first born son, and wrapped hint in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a mangei; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were, to the same country shepherds abiding to the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. -r * , « And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone around about them; and For unto you they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which Shall be to all people. is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, 1 trhich is Christ the Lord. And this shal be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wri ipped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. / And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God,, and saying, Glory to God peace, good will to in the highest, and on earth Ward men. / Pomp House Borns' Bat Home Saved In Peola Mills The Sperryville and Washington fire companies were called at 8 o’clock Saturday morning to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Irvin5 White in Peola Mills, where a pump house was ablaze.

WEEKLY FARM PRICE GRASS SEEDS * The supply of all grass seeds is plentiful, and this is reflected in prices often as low as half of last year’s. This includes our three main grass <|rops: lespedeza, red clover, and orchard grass. Lespedeza seed, for example, is retailing at 10c to In the spirit of friendship may we extend best wishes for a happy holiday to all our good friends.

Present market prices allow the producer between 5c and 7c a pound for seed on a cleaned basis, with the purchaser standing the cost of transportation and processing. ' ■ At current prices it s a good time to buy, but a word of warning is timely: Whether you’re buying farmer to farmer or through retail outlets, be sure you get tested seed. Don’t sacrifice quality for cheap price. Even the best seed this year* is lower priced than poor seed has been. The few cents extra over the cost of untested seed may mean plenty quality-wise. Here are Virginia price comparisons (received by growers) between this year and last: Nov. 15, 1954 and Nov. 15, 1955. Korean Lespedeza $.21.50 cwt $700 cwt Kobe Lespedeza $22.50 cwt $10.00 . Sericea $23.00 cwt $12.00 Orchard grass $25.00 cwt $14.30 (Oct. 15) The price trend since November has continued down. EGGS Eggs should hold their present strength for the next ten days or two weeks. Virginia markets last week chalked up 11th week of steady to strong prices at ,55c to 57c for Grade A Large. The New York market was stronger with a 57c top. Production, usually up this time of the year, leveled off unexpectedly in November. This is due to cold weather, the number of old layers which have dwindled in production, and the lack of full quotas of younger layers to take up the slack. Demand will surely Remain good, especially through the first of the year. With production not showing usual seasonal increase, very cold weather in the egg producing areas might lower it enough to hold prices up. ~ - BROILERS I The broilv market doesn’t promise any strength until well after •the holidays. Prices generally were down a cent last week, and replacements indicate that supplies will continue to be around 20% above last year. Evert with the end of the turkey rush in sight, processor demand for broilers probahly won’t increase much if any in the next week or so. Storage demand will' probably be mild for awhile, too. There is a little‘s activity in it now. . Richmond markets averaged May «• add our vote* to the chorus calling for abiding liop^ pim, * /. F.

TURKEYS Little-change is expected in the turkey market through tne holidays Virginia markets strengthened a cent last week on all types. Heavy type hens were 35 to 36; heavy toms, 28 to 29, and light types, 29 to 31c. These prices should hold, considering holiday demand. HOGS The first note of encouragement, although slight, has appeared in thejiog market. Virginia auction markets picked up 5c last week to $12.35. Top prices on Western markets were $11.50 to $11.75. Receipts have passed the peak (550,000 last week as against 600,000 at peak), and should continue downward gradually. On the other hand, demand is going to be limited at least until past the holidays, and it will take about that long to work off the supply already on hand. CORN Corn should continue to strengthen some during the week especially in eastern markets. Richmond slipped 3c during the week to $1.19 for U.S. Number 2, probably reflecting the increase in local movement. Norfolk price gained for the second week, up 5 to 10c to average ---« $1.15 to $1.20. The Valley, Virginia’s biggest consuming area, remained steady at $132 to $1.40. It still looks wise to keep stored corn to wait for better prices apt to come later in the season. [ ... to our daaratt friandt and patrons. Joy aad happiness during tho coming Gill & ALBERT S18 N.
