It is the general comment, heard on all hands, that the Christinas bps- I son just passed was about the qulet j est ever experienced in Gastonla. A I look at the municipal court docket confirms this statement.

The number of arrests has been smaller than usual when no holiday Is on. Chief Carroll and his patrolmen have been constantly on the alert and the good behavior that has been in evidence all along is attributable in no small degree to the watchfulness and efficiency of tho police force. 'Gastonlans are better protected by far from the de predations of criminals because we have the best police force in the State. Wedding Bells.
