What IN" Sees and Hears on His
Rounds About the City and Along
Ro,fe M z

We are now in the midst Of the Christ
mas holidays, but ere another issue OF the
Press and Banner the old year 1909, with
all it's joys and sadness will be numbered
with the past, and the New Year uShered
in. What will it be? Just what we make
it. Yes, life is what we make it, then let
us begin the coming year with new reso-
~lutions, to do our best to make life bright,
and happy for those with whom we come
in contact, and let us scatter flowers along
our pathway to smooth The rough places
and make life worth living.
Christmas in the city has been quiet but
pleasant, and as far as we know without
accident to any one.
The little booklet published during the
session of the conference by the Press and
Banner shows enterprise on the part OF the
senior editor, who should have the well
done" from every one. The book is chock
full of interesting news, giving to its read
ers a splendid historical sketch Of Able
ville's past. 1t shows great thought and
research and gives many OF our Older clti-
zens light upon subjects they had long
since forgotten if they ever knew them at
alb while its pages record events that the
present generation should know, and Of
which every citizen should be proud. This
little beck should be filed away and kept
as part Of Abbeville's history.
We are glad to have Brother Stokes with
us another year, and VIC believe in saying
this we speak the sentiment Of this entire
community. May the coming year bring
greater blessings upon him and his family
and through his influence may the church
be built up and prosper as never before.
Abbeville has been full of visitors during
the holidays and our city has been lively,

settle down to the same old every day
