SMYRNA PAST AND PRESENT
FINDS TIME FOR CELEBRATION
TO ALL OUR FRI I

Just as the Christmas celebra-
tion in Smyrna this year was de-
pendent upon the outcome of the
coal strike, Christmases in the past
have also shown the signs of the
times. Despite the fact that con-
ditions have been discouraging
and outlooks grim, Smyrna citi-
zens, like citizens all over the
world, have usually found time to
set aside this one day in the year
for the traditional festivities. Look
ing back over the old files, we
found that in 1862, when the Civil
War was at it's height and the
Union Army was meeting some of
its most crushing defeats, the
Smyrna people said at home
"This great holiday, always longed
for with joyful anticipation by SO
many of our population has come
and pasesd, much to the relief of
all, save, perhaps the children and
the confectioners. To say that it
was duly observed in this locality
would be but adding a remark ap-
plicable to each recurring anniver-
sary, for while there are children
and things to eat and drink, the
festivities will not be neglected
nor old Kriss Kringle forget to
make his annual circuit in search
of chimney corners and empty
stockings. The joy of the juvenil-
es has been complete. Notwith-
standing the cry of hard times
there never has been such a pro-
fusion of toys in the nursery, sugar
plums in the pocket or bailey
wax" smearing their faces as has
been the case this year. There is
certainly enjoyment among the
grandpas and grandmas to see the
little ones pitching into the piles
of sweetmeats with such gusto-
enough to compensate for the dim
mutton in their piles of shinplast.

servance was not as traditional

Christmas 1896
In 1896, the editor reported,
Christmas is close at hand, and
the gay scenes incident to the
great holiday shopping carnival are
once more being enacted in our
streets. This feature of our Christ
mas-keeping tends to grow more
conspicuous with each recurrence
of the festival. Not to go and see
the Christmas displays in the store
windows is to miss a brilliant and
instructive sight. They are as
gorgeous with color and as replete
with novelties as the tabled baz-
aars of Bagdad. Nor is it worth
ones while to view this shopping
carnival only as one of the large
commercial facts of the time. 1t
is much more cheerful to regard it
as manifestation of the better
side of human nature. All the
cynics to the contrary notwith-
standing, this vast volume of buy
ing and selling represents, in the
main, genuine outpouring of "the
milk of human kindness" The
