THE OLD AND THE NEW.

No matter what may have been
the reverses, the drawbacks and the
misfortunes OF a year, there is always
in it's passing tinge of sadness and
regret. The year 1905 with it's ter
rible business depression, its lack of
employment for laboring men, and
its general commercial blueness will
still have its mourners, men and
women TO whom it brought some
good fortune, some brightness, some
happiness To our own people the
year was not without its advantages.
The city improved in appearance
and prosperity; no failures or bust
ness chrashes occurred In our midst:
we secured State institution OF
learning, which should prove, when
completed OF incalculable advantage
TO this city and section; we secured
the opportunity for railroad develop
nnent in the repeal by the General
Assembly OF that law which hereto
fore has prevented shat competition
necessary to bring prosperity: we
suffered but little from the panic and
It's results, and generally speaking
happiness and prosperity r.igned.
We are facing 1909 and It's posi-
bilities with confidence. There is no
pessimism over what the New Year
will bring forth. There Is every rea-
son TO suppose that business In the
next twelve months will be as good.
II not better, than this country has
ever before seen and general air OF
confidence pervades the atmosphere.
fredericksburg has much TO expect
from the infant year and we can
make IL a banner one II we develop
she necessary determination. exer-
else proper diligence, stand together
and pull together for the common
good. To it's readers here and else
where this newspaper expresses it's
cordial wishes for happy and pros
porous New Year.
