In our hearts and tOnds are gratitude and good thoughts for you during every day of the year; -but Christmas hallows our sentiments and makes their expression fitting and timely. Such as hart accomplished and such good as may be traceable to our efforts would not have been possible without your sustaining power and co-operation.

All chardcteryqMealing -to or endeavoring to eniertaifi the public, must be given a certain nteed o f applftuse or they cannot exist. With thoskengged in publishing d newspaper, the applause conies in the interest which readers manifest, in its columns and in an occasional word of xipproval. The practical help of sub-scribers-.y and advertisers has enabled us to maintain a publication standard; their encour agement has furnished the degree of pleasure necessary as an incentive to our daily tasks. 'May the spirit of Christmas work for you the full degree of its hountifidnesX. May you be enabled to get the same amount of pleasure and benefit from these columns that we have derived from making them.
