How well we have spent the old year our hearts can tell us—whether right or wrong, whether our influence has been for good or evil. However consistent our lives may have been there is room for improvement, they may be better. Let us take a retrospective view and if we have in any way said or done aught against any of our fellow beings, correct such wrong at once, and start in the New Year re solved, by the help of God, to live for the glory of God and the up building, morally and socially of our fellow men. "Am I my brother’s keeper Yes to a large degree we aTe. Np man has a fight to say or do anything that will injure his neighbor, on the contrary we are commanded to admonish those we see and know are doing wrong, and endeavor by all possible means to uplift them and not pull them down. To one and ail we send New Year’s greeting, and hope this may be a year of happiness and prosperity! A Paper for Ah f lasses of People |aktthe J-atest JYews. TiiBXTON, N. C., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 5, 1898, The Christmas holidays have* come and gone with their usual! pleasures and sorrows. In our little | town everything passed off quietly, and nothing happened to mar the enjoyment of any one, so far as we j know. On Monday night an elegant sup -1 per was served in the court house, to the three Sunday schools of this place,—Methodist, Episcopal and Baptist, and it was greatly enjoyed by all present, especially the little ones. We take occasion to thank the good ladies of Trenton for the success of the supper, and the pleas ure it gave to those who partook of it, and right here we dare to say that no town in the State can boast of more noble hearted women than Trenton. God bless them. During the week several pleasant gatherings were held where the young and old enjoyed themselves in different ways, and especially the music by Messrs. C. P. Howerton, Tom Brogden, Zack Whitaker and Miss Lottie Whitaker. May we all live to see many returns of the pleasures of the recent holidays, but let us not forget that Heaven has more pleasures than all this world can give. Should we pass from this life before the return of another Christinas, may wc be ready to spend it with Christ, whose birth wc now commemorate here. Prof. John B. Koonce spent the Christmas holidays with his parents Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Koonce, of Tren ton. He is principal of the Rich lands High School, and returned to his work this week.
