According to our time-honored
custom the Democrat. will not
make its usual appearance .next
Thursday morning, for we feel
that as we near the end of anoth
er laborious year, xe are entitled
to our share of the festivities ol
the joyous Christmas season.
In this connection wo would
like to thank our multitude of
friends for their loyal support
during the past year, as well as
the thfrty-one proceeding years.
Notwithstanding the jeers and
knocks of a comparatively few
thoughtless individuals thanks to
bur host of loyal supporters, 6ur
business, small as yet, is mount
ing hfgher and higher on the
ladder of success, and before the
new year is far wasted, we pro
pose to install a plant modern in
every way, and to issue an entir
ely new and! different Democrat,
a paper that would be a credit to
even a baby city. And to this
end, we ask for a continuance of
your patronage. '
We wish for each one of our
friends the merriest Christmas
ever, and a .New Year crowded
with happiness and prosperity,
v Christmas Qirrs.

Con rt House du ring vithe past
two weeks closed on Sunday
night in a great service. As
many as 75 or more, professed
conversion and the churches
were much revived. In many
ways it was a wonderful meeting
showing Mi Greene tjo be a great
Gospel preacher, The building
was crowded almost every night,
and especially the last night ev
ery available space was 'filled.
The evangelist after a very; ear
nest talk said that he wunted to
give all who were willing to b'p
used, in the work that the Lord
wanted them to have a chance to
indicate it. First, however, he
called all to silent prayer, and for
a minute or more there was a
most impressive silence in the
great audience. When called .on
to express themselves, more than
20 pledged themselves to have
family prayer. He also conducted
chapel service at the School most
of the days and on Saturday 18
