Christmas and its festivities with
the people of this place have been of
such a character that it will long be
remembered.
The spirit of friendship has prevail
ed and good will to all has been first
and last to all appearances in the
minds of everybody.
The spirit of giving and the eX-
change of gifts seem to pervade the
minds of the people more than usual
on similar occasions and the custom
was more universal than ever before.
Many visitors were here on the oc-
casion and some from quite distance.
The sentiment was universal with res
ident and visitor, a Merry Christmas
and Happy New Year; everybody was
happy and jovial and nothing occur
red whatever to mar the peace and
happiness of anyone here.
The two entertainments that were
held here: the school on Friday af-
ternoon and the Sunday school on
Saturday evening were enjoyable and
pleasing to all in attendance and re-
flected credit to the management of
both the entertainments, for the man
ner in which they were conducted.

tertainments, well loaded with good

iday affair is the fact that many of
the children have and are at the pres
