USUAL CLAMoR FOR NEW YEAR
Many Watch Parties and Services
Were Held

1916" the new year, was usher
ed in with the usual clamor of bells.
whistles, anvils and firing of guns.
The dense low hanging fog of Fri
day night gave somewhat cheerless
aspect and heartless greeting TO:
the pink skinned youngster of 1915
but Saturday morning, the first day
of the year, dawned bright, clear
and warm.
Many people at watch parties
passed the old year out and the new
in with jest and jollity, while at
the watch night services at the
churches there was a spirit of spir-
itual and moral reJuvenation per-
yading.
Today everybody acquired the
habit of signing '16 instead of 15,
after many erasures and much
scratching over.

TELEPHONE GANG FOUND
ASHES INSTEAD OF TENT

Saturday evening when the Unit

varre returned to their camp, they
found, where their sleeping tent
had been, a mass of hot shoulder
ing ashes. When they left the camp
after dinner a fire was left in the
stove in the tent and it is supposed
that the blaze started in the straw
on the floor from sparks. The gang
of twenty men spent the night at
Navarro minus their personal be-
longings with the exception of those
which they were wearing. Cots,
colthes, bedding and all had burn
ed. The cook tent escaped the blaze.
The gang has been temporarily re-
duced to four men.

Word has come to friends in this
city of the death on December 81
OF one of Abilene's former highly
respected citizens, P. e. Sommers.
Some time ago he suffered a para
lytic stroke from which he never
fully recovered. He was buried yes

the death occurred at the home of a
son. He leaves to mourn his de-
parture from this life widow and

Mr.. Sommers, before moving to
Abilene and engaging in the coal
business, was a prosperous farmer
living a mile and half northeast
of the city. He was very active
and ardent worker in the Evangeli-

identified with the movements that
tended toward the advancement OF
the church and city. The many
friends here was surprised, and
with a tinge of sorrow, to hear of
his death.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS REOPEN
Students Loathfully Return to Work
at Universities and Colleges

The teachers in the Abilene pub
lie schools who spent Christmas at
their respective homes out of the
city, returned Sunday and all were
ready with lessons and assignments
this morning. The school buildings
have been scorned by the pupils
who have come within sight of them
the past few days, for to them the
buildings meant work and study
after ten short days of vacation, as
it seemed to them.
The college students did not look
forward to their return to school
with much pleasure for to them re-
turn represented three weeks of
finals and burnings the midnight
oil. The return after Christmas, at
home, is not marked with the ex-
pectancy and excitement as is leav-
ing for school opening.
