OUR eyes are dim this Yuletide morn; The tears we couldn't help but shed When o'er the wires the message flashed: "Bob Gonzales is dead!" Robert E Gonzales With thousand& of other friends in every walk of life and in every section of the country, The Sentinel bows its head in'borrow over the death of Robert *E. Gonzales, which occurred last Tues day night, December 19, at a hospital In El Paso, Texas, where he had gone as ergeant in the machine gun company f the Second South Carolina Infantry. eath was due to pneumonia. In civil ife Mr. Gonzales was paragraph writer of the Columbia State and was univer sall .recognized as the most brilliant of thM all. Tho only 28 years old, king of his field and much praised, he was t and unassuming and a man of lovi~ disposition. He was South Caro lina's brightest and best-loved journal istic star. Good old Bob; he made the world a better place to live in. The Old and the New The old year of 1916, with all of its joys, sorrows, prileges and opportuni ties are all numbered with the past, and now the "New Year, " with all of its responsibilities, is upon us. How shall we meet them? is the question con fronting us. As we look at the past we remember with regret. perhaps, things we did that ought not to have been done, and many things wo failed to do that ought to havo been (lone. Now let us profit by our mistakes anld fail ures of the past and turn over a new leaf' and try to make a better record during the next year. During the Christmas holidays many of our loved ones came in to see us and our old homes were made bright and cheerful again; but now the children have all gone back again, and as we sit by the fireplace so still and lonely, we wonder how it will be next Christmas. In many homes when the children come back liext Christmas many of the old folks will be gone acros.s the river, but if prepared by grace .divine we shall Xnet A lgaml.1.
