The book, "SomeWhat VI

S5 pages, and'is written by :

the twelfth stroke Of the clock
sounded its last, the year 1901
died away and the birth of
the New Year entered while
we were in sweet dreamland
Today marks another impor-
tant era in our lives. What
this year shall bring forth we
1now not. The past is all we
have to Judge the future by,
and it has been a period of
prosperity to some, to others
it has been a failure, and some
nave been through the time
partly on mountains of joy
and partly in the valley of
of bitterness and tears. We
wonder why it is, but still
we 90 not understand. To
some prosperity would prove
disastrous, and to others pow
erty proves beneficial. We
are reminded by this, and in
other ways, that though life
isa mystery, yet through it all
God will be our guard and
our guide, and we must, will
lingly or unwillingly, submit
to His will. If the year just
past has not carried us each
and every one 365 days near
er the eternal Throne of God,
ithas been a blank year in our
lives-a year thrown away.
With the birth of 1902, of
which today is the first, were
born new duties, new respon-
sibilities, new privileges, new
hopes, and new joys, and
they may be followed by sad
ness, disappointments, grief
and pain, sickness and sor-
row. We cannot make this
a successful year unless we
start right from the first day,
for each month, day, hour,
moment and second has its
duties, and for each a strict
account must be given. So
let us each one, Edgeffeld ci-
tizens, begin today to do our
full duty as we see it, and not
live but one day at a time. In
lications are that this will be
hard year, and we must
each help the other, by trad
ng with home merchants, and
patronizing home industries.
Let us all work to build up
our town; all work together,
,elping the town authorities
Ind our honorable Mayor w
w Adams to make Edgefeld
law-abiding and pleasant
,lace to live. To accomplish
his end, we must not leave
5od out of our plans. and we
must practice the Golden Rule
nd not believe the rule as
,racticed now-''do others or
hey'll do you." u

CONGRESS HEIGHTS ADDITION.
Commissioners Issue Order Admitting
Subdivision of Dandle Park.

The District Commissioners have Issued
an order admitting to record a subdivision
Of Rand!e Park addition to Congress
Heights, made by Mr.. Arthur E. Randle
The order provides that this action to be
subject to the reservation by said Arthur
Z. Randle Of the right to protect and pre-
serve the large oak trees now standing
within the limits of the streets and alleys
shown in said subdivision until such tin1e
as the grading and regulating of said
streets and avenues is ordered by the COM
missioners or that the removal of the trees
is petitioned for by the owners Of ma
jority of the lots abutting thereon"
After recording the subdivision today Mr.
Randle Immediately made out papers do
mating to the Commissioners a site for the
engine house in Congress Heights author
lied in the last District appropriation Dill
The site for the engine house Is ofnclally
designated lot 2, square 1, Randle Park
addition to Congress Heights" and Is 10 O.
Gated on Nichols avenue. The lot Is 70
by 100 feet being one-third larger than
was originally promised by Mr.. Randle
An appropriation of S2j 900 Is now avail
able for the construction OF the engine
house and 1t Is believed that the plans Will
speedily be drawn up and the contracts
let.
The new streets in the subdivision just
recorded, it Is said will run directly to
the river and open up a pretty vista from
Nichols avenue to the waterway. Ihe
second building to be placed In the sub

OF LOCAL BENEFIT ONLY.
Commissioners View Of Bill fol
Opening Street.

The District Commissioners have forward
ed to the Senate District committee a re-
port on Senate bill No. 1890, Ito open a
street through block 2O5, from 14th to 18th
streets northwest concurrent with the
streets in the adjacent blocks called Wal
ZACH place and Caroline street. They say:
1.-The cost of the land and improvements
in the line Of the proposed extension is $780,
GOO. The extension is of local character,
and would benefit only the lots in the
square abutting upon it. The bill does not
carry any appropriation for paying the
awards, neither does 1t provide how the
assessments shall be paid The provision
that the entire cost of the opening shall be
assessed against the property in the block
seems to be equitable. as that Is the only
property which would be benefited.
About $50, 900 would have to be apprO-
priated to carry the bill into effect and
while this would probably be recouped ulti-
mately by the collection of assessments, it
would not be done for several years accord
ing to the present method of collecting as
sessments of the character in question, and
in view of the depleted condition of the mu-
nicipal revenues the Commissioners could
not recommend that this amount be expend-
ed for the purpose just now

Our Vinol will do this for you because 1t acts In
