From time imrne m orial it has been the
custom. If the fnnny man of the news
paper is to be believed, of men of every
rank and station of life to 'swear off,
on the first day of each year. And the
same infallible authority is also RESPONSE
BILE for the assertion that the same fell
lows who "swear off," within a day or
two "swear on" again. The poor man
who swills his ''ornery" gin, and the
rich man who iInbibes the finest cham
pagnes,
Prophets and sages-
all are included in the category if we are
to believe the paragrapher.
So the making of New Years resolu-
tionS is a custom that obtains every
where, and as human nature in Asheville
is much the same as in any other town,
she has her share of resoivers. They are
not generally of the Swearing Off class,
but they always find something to re-
solve about, and THE CITIZEN, in order
to keep the public posted in everyt hing.
