Tonight is the night to plant out
Christmas trees, and those planted
in our city tonight will bear fruit
just in proportion as it has been
husbanded during the year. If you
have been frugal and saved up your
money, you can make your tree
bear good fruit and load it down,
but if you have spent your money
recklessly during the year, your
tree will be small and the fruit put
on it will be in proportion, We
could but hope that every house,
hold in this broad city will be able,
financially, to give the loved ones
some kind of presents, as it has be-
come the custom in this land of
