The New York Packer is authority for the statement that there was con siderable loss on holly in New York during the holiday trade. The ship ments were shipped to Loss in Holly Trade. being 19,028. Most oi this was shipped from North Carolina and was bought outright, and was not handled on consignment. This means that the North Carolina holly gatherers made good their business by taking no chances. They sold, received the money and left the chances with the New York dealers. One firm is mentioned as handling fifty cars and losing as much as $5,000. The market was overstocked. It is said that bunches of holly which would have sold last season at three dollars were refused thes season at fifteen cents. tui "It is a fascinating time we live in, and we would not exchange it foe any time that ever was." So concludes an editorial article in a re Neyer Such a Time. full vigor of thought and activities of liie, every day-dawn should b8 joy ously welcomed, for with the coming of each day there are new problems of interest and new triumphs and new victories that no people on earth ever saw and realized before. And It may well be observed that these in teresting problems, triumphs and victories belong chiefly to the people of America. Truly there has never been a time like our time. There has never been a country like our country. There never has been just such a people as our people. There never has been a present time for any people like our present. There never has been a future like our future. There never have been opportunities like our opportunities, and never has a peo ple more nobly utilized opportunities, perhaps, than we are doing now. Who, indeed, would exchange this time for any time that ever has been? Fortunate are those whose time of life's activities opens now the doors to the great and fascinating fields for thought and action in the world's great work of to day. We have just commenced to step well into the new cen tury, and already wonders have crowded upon, the heel of wonders for which we did not look half a decade ago. The new year of 1906 has dawned upon this country with its penoilllngs of light leading towards the noonday of another year which is the most inviting that we have ever contemplated. All through tba land those who labor in farm, shop, office, factory and field look out with an expectation for things greater and better and a year of gladsome life which they have never known before. Truly It Is a time when men should feel deep gratitude to the God of all good, for ours is like unto the "delightsome land", of which the Lord caused the prophet Mala ohi to speak hundreds of years before the Christian Era. .

Creecy, editor of the Elizabeth City Economiet, celebrated his ninety-second birth-day a few days ago ; and so far as information has A Remarkiihle Career. town and community, the people of Elizibeth City gave him a banquet at which there were more than a hundred guests. For vears Col. Creecy has been known by newspaper men in this State ps "The Neater of Xorth Carolina Journalism," and well has ho maintained it. For some forty years he has bean actively engaged in the work and his influencu has been felt all through North Carolina, as well as In other States. Some years ago when Mr. Charles R. Jones, a rjewspaper man of Charlotte, laid aeid-3 his pen and gave bis valedictory to journalism, he said of his work that during h.'s career as an editor he had written many things of which he was proud and had written nothing of which he w; s arhamed. While we do not remember ever having seen any expression by Col. Creecy concerning his estimate of his own work, perhaps he might be able to 6ay what Mr. Jones said. At any rate, Col. Creecv'o career has been a remarkable one, and the people cf E'izibeth City honored themselves in honoring the man who with brain and heart and pea has consecrated forty years of his noble life and distinguished talents in guarding; their public and private interests with the energy and zeal which have characterized all his work. To few mortals does the Dispenser of all good grant such opportunities in a long lifs of good service to the world. t t i t Ox November 3, 1903, tho Republic cf Panama declared its independence. Befora that tim8 Panama had been a part of Columbia, a part of South America. Facts About Panama. of Maine chief ports are Panama and Colon, with populations respectively of 35,000 and 3,000. For centuries there has been thought of a canal across tho isthmus, and hi 1897 the first company a French companv was organ lzed to dig the canal, and work was commenced in 1S81. The company wa3 headed by Ferdinand de Lesseps. The project failed after the company had spent a large sum of money, perhaps .$150,000,000, and another new company was formed in 189i. Tho United States decided in 1902 to take up the wort: and finish up tha canal, and in 1903 the rights of the new company were eecured and a treaty was made between the United Stales and Fsnama, signed at Washington, granting to the United States a zone five miles on either eide of the canal. Panama will receive $10,000,000 and an annuity of $250,000, the annuity to begin in 1907, by which tirr.0 it is calculated that the canal will ba completed. The canal will be twenty eight miles long, an! it is estimated that it will take a ship from ten to twelve hoars to pass through it. The French company ia to receive $10 000,000 and the further cost of constructing the canal will ba $14 1,000,000. It ig estimated that it will take $2,000,000 annually to rr air tain the cnnal after completion. By means of the canal the distance between the Cdfct. m and Western hemispheres will be shortened about eight thou?aod m: is. The cost of the great canal will be heavy, but it will have good effact upon our commercial facilities, and in the end perhaps all our people wi!! ap prove of the outlay.
