LANCASTER AND THE NEW YEAR. j
The season is now at hand for j
the making of new-year resolu
tions, for the turning over of new i
leaves, and alt that kind of thing- ^
i? o^nov/n n iHV/H 11 U U1 LI lilt? llllllltf- ^
morial has probaoly been honored
more in the breach than in a
the observance. But the fact v
that many resolutions are made c
in good faitli only to be broken ^
should not deter us from doing |
our best in an effort toward turning
over the proverbial "new ,
leaf." We may not succeed in t
throwing oiF all old habits that \
are pressing us down physically, c
morally and financially,but if we j
persevere we mav conquer some ,
of them and every one discarded
is a decided victory gained.
If a man succeeds in effectually ^
quitting even one bad habit in 1
the beginning of a new year he f
has achieved something much to 1
1.1. 1 '
ma cieuit.
But it is not so much to thei
sins of commission anil omission
on the part of individuals that
we are expected to "swear off" 1
from the first of the new year *
that we desire to direct attention '
> at this time. We are all supposed.
to he willing and ready to
swear off from cnr-ini, from I*
habits of intemperance, ungodli '
'he and so on, but how manv 1
ous have thought about 1

Out the trouble is every man is
so absorbed with his individual
interests and his own plans tor
another year that lie is, general
ly speaking, giving but little
thought to the general welfare |
Now there is at least one matter ?
that we can all unite upon. Owing
to th j diversity of interests, *
to business and professional ri j
valry, etc., it is difficult to get a ]
so mm unity like Lancaster t
become of one mind and j )in i
i common effort for the town1
:e.ieral uplilt, but as sintei
here is one ma'ter at leaf
bout which there should be n
livision of sentiment and upo
which there should be unanim
y of action.
We refer to the making c
Lancaster a cleaner and mor
ittractive town. Let a geners

igidly enforced. Unsightly pt

yitig in drains and gutter
diould become a thing of fcb

owed to be scattered about tli
rards. Keep your premises clea

Mr. Editor: I see in last
week's issue of The News a very
nice write-up of the Christinas >
e tree and other good things that A
j the Pleasant Flaiu Baptist church I
lt and the neighborhood at large ?
) enjoyed Christmas day. \
Now, Mr. Editor, if yon will
give me a little space in your
e paper I will tell Mr. ,lE " (as
. that is the way the piece is
^ signed) a few things that hap
pened here on the night belore
e he liai such a glorious time at ?
e Pleasant. Plain. As you well
j_ know, the Ilev T. A. Dabney is
e pastor of both the Second Lann
caster church and Pleasant Plain
s church, and with such a pastor
,s as he is I don't know what peoie
pie there are that could not
f have a good time any time in 1
[_ the year. So about one month |
jr before Christmas the ladies of
rg tlie Second Baptist church be
gan training tlie children for
j the Christmas exercises which
n came otf on Christmas Eve
r night. At the opening exercises
if the large audience was led in
prayer by the pastor, Rev. T.
p A. Dabney; after which the superintendent
gave a short talk
|g as to why we had met together
j_ at this time for enjoyment. Tnen tu
came the songs and speeches, of M
which thdre were 24 in all,but I fl|
e will only mention one and that M
1Q I 11 n loot Wltxork A f A /xv/%..Aln??

)t which was the Lord's Prayer,
}h in motion, by Miss Cornelia En- *
bank, a deaf and dumb daughter J
ot Mr. Roof Eubank of thisplace.
Tiiat last piece brought tears to ju
many an eye in tho audience. *
( At the close of the exercises, the B
' presents, and they were many,
> wore taken < IT the tree and car- w
s lied to their owners by four ff
s* young ladies. When this was S
oyer the Sunday school treat was ^
given out to the children, and a
let me say light here that X
m this was the largest treat jW
n that has ever been given out ^
k here. In ray closing remarks let V
me say that the house was as J|
lull as any ome could stand up W
;o ;ll,d down the aisles and a great ^
nt many were turned away be- *
?] cause tLey could not got ?
p. in. And there was the best order n
e thai i have ever seen with such IJ
iS a large crowd of people at any
, place, the best of attention wash"
1, i tie
j] given to all the exercises; so we ok
I S \
jt had the best tree, the best exer-Uv
ie cises, the largest treat and the ral
largest audience fliat Ima 1
,j been at the Second church ot j-j
Lancaster. So if my friend "E"
j( could have been liere and takt
en it all in with our beloved Pasj.
tor, I know he could have writ Si
ten and told you a lot more di
about it than I have done. But ?i
lfJ Bro. Dabney will tell him about at
i what a good time we had here,: in
v and that will be a second Christ- af
_ mas blessing that he will have th
38 received all in one year. So 1 w
will close, ever hoping that the es
blessing of God may rest on you, 111
Mr. Editor, and on us all, and it fn
ly it is our Father's will that we
i<l live to see another Christmas "i
roll around that we all will he hU|
