A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW
YEAR.

~~~A~~'
Before another issue of THE
ENQUIRER, Times ceasless fight
will bring us to the year of Our
Lord 1917.
During the year now rapidly
drawing to a close, many, many
events, fraught with grave mo-
ment to the citizens of the coun-
ty. have transpired. Some re-
plete with pleasure and the salts
faction of success; others fraught
with sorrow and weighed down
by the grim impress Of failure.
But of such is life composed.
Our years work weighed in the
balance cannot be pronounced
wanting, for if not the full &C.
complishment of our hopes and
anticipations, we have the conso-
lation that we have done all that
was humanity possible for us to
do to further the well-being Of
our State and County, our friends
and associates and our own lot.
For the past year THE
ENQUIRER has gone to you, its
friends and patrons, with the
glad records of your joys, and
has with genuine and sincere re-
gret chronicled your sorrows.
1t has ever been the fond object
of its management to consider it
a binding link between the people
of our beloved county and our
selves. Therefore it seems fit
ting that we should avail ourselv-
es of this opportunity to wish
for you all good wishes and to
express the hope that all will
enjoy a happy and prosperous
New Year. To those who by
their contributions have assisted
us we extend our grateful ap-
probation with the abiding hope
that they will continue to keep
the people of the county inform
ed concerning the happenings of
their sections during the year
that is so auspiciously beginning.
It may be that during the
coming year the civil war that
is devastating Europe will end,
that peace and good will among
the nations may be restored and
the racesagain tread the rainbow
path of human progress, I'M
trammelled by the barbarous
burden of bloody wars despite
the fact that from present in
dications peace seems a very far
call.
Our lot contrasted with the
unhappy fate of Europe is most
desirable. There, a smiling land,
rich in fertility and magnificent
in world old architecture, is
strewn with carnage and the
merciless ravishes of a fierce and
bloody war; here is quietness and
rest and peace and the pursuit
of happiness, far from the deep
mouthed lannon's roar and the
scourge of hunger and slaughter
and attendant ills that make hate
and the lust for power so hideous
in contrast. The cathedrals and
chateux of far-famed France and
Belgium are scattered heaps of
wreckage; here are being reared
such monuments to the builders
skill as is commensurate with our
greatness and peace-loving ten
denotes. Here we are assisting
the race on the forward march
to a better civilization: there the
modern machinery of war is
racking and obliterating a civil
cation it took over a thousand
years to accomplish.
