Christmas day in Greenwood was
indeed sane and sensibly observed. In
fact, there was less drunkenness than
the writer has ever seen in this place
during his residence Of twenty-six
years here-and we congratulate our
people upon this splendid improves
ment in their moral condition. It ID
the sane and sensible way to observe
the anniversary of the birth Of Christ,
and it is gratifying to note the tend
ency of the people generally to take
this view of the sacred event.
