We enjoyed our Christinas very
quietly, thank you. We hope that
you had as pleasant time as we did.
We wish you one aud all a happy
and prosperous New Year.
Once more the tide has brought
us to the flood titnepf noliU-i things
—the world has again sWung
around to the days when men's
thoughts are arrested by old, famil
iar, holy things, made ever new by
the freshness with which childish
eyes gaze upon them and childish
tongnes tell of them.
Christmas day was almost like a
summer day, it was so mild and
clear. It reminded one more of a
June day than it did of Christmas
While the Christmas spirit seemed
to fill everyone, yet, the lack of the
noise and hubbub incident to this
occasion, as is usual the case, made
many remark that it did not set in
like Christmas.
Who is paying the immense stuns
which it must cost to send broad
cast throughout the country the
lxiok written by Chancellor Day of
Syracuse University in which lie
attacks the Roosvelt policies and
lauds the Standard Oid Company
to. the skies? We don't know
But we do kuow that Appleton it

Heip Your Town Grow
No towu will become a good busi
ness center so long as its business
men rely 011 a few merchants to
make the offort to bring trade to
town. Too often the men in a few
lines of trade are about the only
ones tljat reach out after custom
Other merchants wait until these
men induce the people to come to
town and content themselves with
trade that naturally drift to their
place. A public spirited man
fhould ask himself if lie is doing
• his part to attract people to come
to town to trade in helping the en
" tire busiiisss commumtv, and no
town is a success unless all lines
are working to extend the trade as
far as possible and trying to bring
a larger territory in the circles in
which the town is the business
center.
Why MOve?
These are the days when the dis- j
contented farmer's fancy lightly
turns to thoughts of moving. The
great railway systems of the West,
flood the mails with manuals setting j
forth the beauties and Virtues of |
this and that region, each claiming
to be parexcellence the home-seek
ens paradise- Agriculture has in
this aspect taken the place of min- j
* iug. In former times the "new!
country" that offered the most at
tractions to settlers from a distance !
was that in which gold was taken
out of the ground in big yellow
nuggets or infinitessimal dust; in
these later days the search is still;
for a quick fortune, but the medium
exploited is the growiug crop, j
which can be turned into gold—or
greenbacks—by the slowei process-1
es ot planting, cultivating and bar-1
vesting; and the pioreer now has
for his emblems the gang-plew at.d
the reaping machine, instead of the
pick and pan. Now, the advertis-!
ing circulars teem with prints in ]
which the settler's comfortable
homestead aud happy family are
shown, projected against fields of
heavy-headed grain, trersproauing
under apples and peaches pro|>or- j
tionatelyas large as watermelona,
and the cattle of a thousand hills
- grouped in a pen by the side of. the
lailrond, awaiting rapid shipment

Christmas Celebration ol the
Episcopal Sunday School
The Christmas celebration of the
Sunday School of the Chinch of
the Advent was held last night at
the Rectory between the hours of
seven aud nine. The children were
there, the teachers were there, Mie
fond tnolhets were there, and last,
but not least surely, there was pres
ent that delight of hearts, both
young aud old, Old Santa Claus.
The cry of hard times did not seem
to have affected the old fellow much
as he brought with hint a tree well
stocked with gifts to please. At
least, says he, Christmas spirit is
Christmas spirit whatever the rimes
may be.
To begin with, the children
gathered around the piano and
sang the glad Christmas hvmns.
After some Christmas words and
questions by Mr. Gordon Sinta
Clans was introduced. He asked
first for the presentation ,of the two
prizes given by Mrs. I). S. Higgs.
The first was for the best Sunday
School record for the church year
of 1907. It was a very close cou
test The award of a t,s ir«bl
was made to Charles Higgs. Fine
recoids were also made by Louise
Upton, Sylvia Upton, Richard
Smith, George Howard Kent,
I.nurd Kllison, Pennie Higgs, l.ou
ise and Hannah Vic Fowden. The
second prize given to the one bring
ing the greatest number of new
scholars was awarded to little Miss
Mary Cook, it was a beautiful doll.
After these presentations by Mr.
Gordon, Old Santa got busy and
each scholar was given a gift from
the tree, with u card and a bag of
eatables.
The Sunday- School Teachers:
Misses llattie Thrower, Muvo
I.ainl) and Miss Gordon, and Mes
|dames I). S Higgs, K. 1). Carter
and K. H. Crawfoid, each received
appropriate gifts, Miss Nannie
Smith was given a church hytuunl
iti appreciation of her faithful ser
vices as church and Sunday School
organist. Mrs. and Miss Gordon
1 each received a special remem
ibrauce from the ladies of the
Church, aud lastly, Miss llattie
Thrower, in behalf of the Woman's
Auxiliary and Guild, presented to
Mr. Gordon a beautiful vestment
lease, as their Christmas remeui«
bra nee.
