Christmas day in New Bern dawned fair and cold, all that could have been desired for such an occasion, and the crowds were Boon filling all of the prin cipal streets. Every one seemed to be in the best of spirits and doing all in their power to enjoy the occasion as much as possible. A large number of local enthusiasts went over to Wash ington to witness the football game be tween the local team and the team at that place. Maiy others tiok their guns and hied themselves to the woods in search of game. The majority of New Bernians, however, stayed in the city and enjoyed the day fully as much, if not more, than those, who were off seeking pleasure at Bome other place. There was a continual cannonade of fire works all day long and this was added to by the din of hundreds of tin horns and rattles. In fact everything to make a noise was seen on the streets during the day. The Elks entertain ment to the needy chilren of the city was lorgely ' attended by the public. The show at the Athens theatre last night was the me:ca of hundreds of the pleasure seekers and those who at tended were not disappointed. Taken a? a whole the day was filled with many pleasantries for all and will long be re membered. Notice Watch This.
