OF course such talk never appeals to

about being above the business he failed
to make a hit with the other fellows.

THE NEW YEAR

The new year, with its resolutions,
it's resolves and its possibilities, is
upon us for better or for worse.
Like the Ginning Of some great
clock the last stroke OF 1906 has
rung out to be followed by the first
stroke Of 1907. We pass from one
year to another very much as we
pass from one night to the other
with little but a passing thought OF
the fact that an additional twelve
months has gone, leaving US stand
inc on the threshold Of another.
Just one more milestone dropped
into the lap OF the past while the
world takes little note of time, save,
as Shakespeare wrote, "by its pas
sage" So engrOssed are we with
our enterprises, our schemes, our
hopes, that one year, more or less,
makes little difference and we hardly
stop our daily work, except to shout
q happy new year, before we are again
like horses in the tread-mill We
can make the year what we will, but
will we make it what it should be!
This country has drunk deep OF
prosperity in the past twelve
months, and it remains to be seen
whether we have become cver-intOxi-
Gated with success. Many problems
individual and collective, will con
front the people of the United State
during 1907. viii we solve them az
they should be solved? Will we con-
tinue in the paths OF our fathers OF
will the close OF the new year find u
seeking strange gods and un
known pathways ? All OF these
things remain to be seen. In th'
meantime let our own home people
begin the year with the fixed deter
mination to live at peace with on
another, presenting to the world
united, aggressive and active force
determined on the up-building o
this city and section.

LOOKING BACK.

The close OF the year 1906 marks
one of the most prosperous in the
history of the country Its prosper
ity and industrial activity have not
been confined to any one section, but
have extended to all of the States
from Maine to California and from
Wisconsin to Texas. This immediate
section of the Old Dominion has
parnered it's share of the prevailing
prosperity in spite OF an exceedingly
bad agricultural season, and the last
twelve months have seen Frederlcks-
burg leap ahead in population, busi-
ness and improvements. Our popu-
lation is steadily increasing and the
beginning of the new year will ind
the city with the largest number OF
inhabitants in its history. So with
business. Our trade has been ex-
tended and our manufacturing plants
have likewise reached out into new
territory. Our retail business has
been up to the mark while our whole
sale business has greatly increased.
The country around us is likewise
rapidly going ahead. Farm values
in nearby counties continue to rise
showing that Virginia lands are still
in great demand and that settlers
are turning favorable eyes to this
section of the old Commonwealth.
The year has been generally pros
porous one for the farmers in
spite OF unfavorable weather cOndl-
tions and prosperous year for the
farmer means the same for the mer-
chant, the professional man, the
banker, and in fact every inhabitant
OF the city. 1t has brought its sad
ness to many homes, as every year
must do, but it has also brought its
store of Joy, and for the many bene-
fits it's has brought to the commu-
nifty at large We can we'll afford to
give humble thanks to Divine Prov
idence, trusting that the year 1907
will treat US as kindly as did the one
just closed.
