A NEW YEAU RESOLUTION FOR LANCASTER. I As the old year is practically gone and we are now at the tiire-Ji ?hl of 1906, the making of > resolutions lor the new year is in order. The tact that resolutions an ado at this season are more I dreqiun'.ly broken than kept ? tshould not deter us from "turn- 1 aim over h now leaf. Undaunted by repeated failures wo should keep on trying until, with the < help of a divine Providence, we are made better men and better I (women. Put we did not start out to moralize on the subject ol Now Year resolutions generally. We wish merely to offer ttie sngges.'tion that now is a good time lor Lu ca-der as a community to i uiake at. 1. <:s? o:.o resolution, and i Chat, is to keep clean during 19(16 ' ?n<l ! he succeeding years. The "... ,y<>r lias recently iriven us an 4P:;cellenl object lesson in the Tiiiillcr of clean streets on the ( Sabbath. We n o w sre how , much better it is to have clean } i 1,4*.. | dreels every dny in the week. Anil it it is a good t.liiug in have well swept, attractive thoroughlares at all times, why shouldn't it be a good thing to have our various premises?yards, back lots, &?\ made to present an ap pearance equally as pleasing and i uviting? Let every citizen of Lancaster 11>.i xt? ... v ii.n r?<clil IIIC 1 Till >vnii i lie: uu termination, nut only t*> 1 e ?<1 a clean life, but in make his home and surroundings clean and at tractive Ciear oil all trash, rubbish, &?\, repair delnpidated fences, heuutily the front yard, repaint dwelling and use whitewash freely on outbuildings. And let the merchants cooperate with the town authorities in t lie matter ol keeping the streets clean. Let them give positive orders that no loose papers or other trash shall he swept out ol their stores into the streets. Yes, let us have a nice, clean town, Lancastar is fast putting 11 city airs now and we must pay more attention to sanitalion and civic improvement. Personals. Mr. L. C.
