The familes of Mr R E Mc
Knight and Mr Fred Hines ha<
a Christmas-tree at the home o
the former on the evening of th<
24th. The tree, which was <
beautiful holly of symmetrica
form,was laden with a profusior
of presents from old Santa's
plethoric pack. After the dis.
tribution of the presents the re
mainder of the evening was
| spent in such pleasant diversion
j as best suited the fancy of the
younger foil?. Long will the oc*
'casion linger in their memory.
The general merchandise store
of Mr P M Lee was destroyed
by tire last Wednesday night
about 2 o'clock. A small brick
! building, used by the late Dr
; Byrd as a drug store, was also
I burned. The origin of the tire is
a mystery that will, perhaps,
never be satisfactorily solved.
The stock of goods, valued at
$7,000, was partially covered
I by insurance. We have not
learned whether \here was any
insurance on the store room,
j which belonged to the Hardin
I estate. The Byrd property was
i i l
i not insured ana was a roiai iuss.
And now, dear Old Year, we
I have come to the "parting of
the ways." In a large, distant
city, amid the screaming,shrieking,solemn
sound of a multitude
of steam whistles, the deep, sonorous
tones of numerous bells,
the boom and roar of many
great guns and a spectacular
pyrotechnic illumination,we witnessed
your advent. You came
I to us with alluring promises, ini
viting opportunities and a bright
! future. With renewed hope and
a cheerful heart we began our
I onward journey together and for
363 days we have kept compa'
ny. Our pathway has not been
'over a smooth road all the way,
nor havp flri\c#?rs in nrofusion
garnished the patli we have
trod. We have had some pleasant
and some unpleasant experiences,
but, withal, you have
been good to us, dear Old Year,
and we love you. It pains us tc
part with you,but we shall meel
again when "we shall have
: crossed the bar." Till then we
bid you a last, long, lingering
j loving farewell! W E C.
