Christmas Day.

Christmas dawned upon onr city

had damp and murky feeling any

Towards the noon hour the clonds
rolled away and Old Sol came forth
to gladden. the hearts Of the dear
children, as they re,ele aniong the
bountiful gifts that Santa Claus had
brought them. The old folks felt in
better spirits as the sun shone forth
in all its beauty, aud altogether it
was an ideal day.
There were but two religious SER
vices in the city-the Episcopal and
Cotholic. The choir programme was
a lengthy one, and magniicently ren-
dered at the Episcopal church.
Nothing of note occurred on the
streets, save an unusually large num-
ber of drunken negroes everywhere
to be seen. We took turn around
the streets, and it seemed thai every
other one we met was under the infiu-
ence of corn juice. As we arrived at
the market-house we met Chief Nell

THE NEW YEAR.

In all creation, whether in the ami
NAL or vegetable kingdom, Life and
Death are continually at war; the lat
ter to depop1late and devastate the
earth, the former to carry out the
plan of the Creator to make the world
a sea of animation and provide food,
raimentand Hstural pleasures for His
own.
Since the 'beginning," when che
Lord created the Heavens and the
earth, or since He performed that
matchless feat in the six days, this
battle of giants has been carried on,
waxing warfare fiercer than any
that has ever taken place between
nen or beasts.
Thus far Death has been dissp-
pointed at every turn. in that Life has
gradually increased the population of
the earth despiteDeath's power. Still
he is full of energy, and with NIL DIS
rERANDUM as his motto continues his
fight, And indeed it is battle royal.
sight wkich one cannot witness
without being aroused to enthusiasm
over the magnitude of Omnlpotence
and His power. For every victim
which Death snatches, Life replaces
it with another, sometimes replacing
four for every three taken by his op-
ponent, and thus the wild scream of
triumph which Death sends forth ss
he tears mortslity's robes from his
victim is almost hushed into low
moan of despair, as he sees that his
great foe has made the loss good by
giving to the world another living
creature.
And too when this sable spirit waits
in cunning silence until the allotted
sands of existence have run from the
hour glass of the human heart and
old age calls the possessor hence,
even then the moment of triumph is
but very brief, for scarcely has the
Did feeble trunk been laid away when
from its bed springs forth into buoy
ant activity youth, with all its hopes
and fanciful prospects.
Thus with the old year and his sue
,essor, the new. Scarce will 1893 be
aid in the silent grave, having grown
grey and feeble in living the allotted
ime, when 1894 young, fresh, health
ul will arise with the strength of in
pired youth and for weakly steps
md doubtful judgment, will replace
hem with firm tread and self-reliant
doctrines.
All hail TO the New Year, the new
eir and king whose ascension to the
hrone will be marked with such in
pired hopes. May this new sover-
igns fondest anticipations be real
zed and his reign be one of prosper

CHRISTMAS HAS COME AND GONE.

Christmas has come and gone, and
like all its predecessors, is a thing Of
the past and only memory now can
pass through its length and enjoy its
pleasures, or feel the pangs of disap-
pointment which the day may have
brought to some.
But we will not dilate on the events
that occurred on this last Christmas
day, because a recital from us will
not add one mite to the measure of
pleasure, while it might cause fresh
wounds to open in the hearts of some
unfortunates. So We will digress and
say to the public that we are still
with you and offering our magnifi-
cent stock at bedrock prices. Nor
need you expect to see only remnants
when you call, because if you do you
will be agreeably surprised. Our
stock is first-class, the selections lust
suitable, the goods of the best quality
and everything can be bought cheap.
An examination will teach you that
we speak but the truth.

A large number of citizens met at
the Board of Trade Thursday after
noon to lend their assistance to a
movement which means the upbuild-

To the surprise and disappointment
of some ones, certain determined to
be obstinate and contrary, remained
away, no doubt either determined to
take no part, impede the movement
if they can, or waiting for special
committee to wait on them personally
and solicit their assistance.
This is certainly small, so small
that mite is mastodon in compar-
lson, but If it Will do any good The

on each one personally and beg his
