Christmas, of 1909, Passes.
Christmas has come aud is past
aud by each and all, we hope, was
heartily enjoyed, some iu receiv
ing gifts and others in giving
them. The boye, with their pop
sticks, firecrackers, tin horns and
other noise producing contriv
ances were in their glory, and the
girls were just abont as noisy, but
on the whole Christmas was spent
quietly in Salisbury. The mer
chants and the clerks were all
tired from the rush of the holiday
trade and were glad to retire to
their homes and spend the day
quietly. Servioes were he'd iu
most of the ohurohes, but the
sluw, drizzling rain prevented
many from attending. There was
a dearth of drinkiag and rowdy
ism, that is usually seen on
Christmas, there beiug only three
drunks brought into court on
Monday, anh they had been ar
rested late Sunday evening, The
merclants all report a goc d
Christmas trade, some going so
far as to say that thy had noth
ing to advertise, as they had al
most sold out.
