In keeping with the spirit of Christmas, area children will once again be featured in "Christmas Kids and Greetings," an annual supplement to The Lincoln Journal.

This year, a photographer from Interpress Studios in Snellville, Georgia, will be at the Lincolnton Clubhouse Tuesday, October 21, through Thursday, October 23, to take the children's pictures. Sittings will be scheduled from 3:30 until 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday and from 2:30 until 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday.

Appointments may be made by calling The Lincoln Journal at 706- 359-3229 from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.

There is no obligation to buy the photographs, which will appear in the December 25 issue of the newspaper free of charge. Also, there is no sitting fee.

With the exception of babies born between October and December, only Interpress photographs will be used in the supplement. In order to have these infants included in "Christmas Kids and Greetings," parents must supply The Lincoln Journal with a photograph suitable for reproduction by the close of business on Tuesday, December 9.
