It has been a good year for the paper and we thank every one for the part he took in helping to make it so. And to each we wish a happy and prosperous new year. The business of the year is now practically over. It seems so fitting that a year prosperous business a Sunday comes in for rest and meditation before th duties of the new year are taken up This should be a day upon which all should look back upon the old year and devoutly thank God for the many blessings the year has brought From five to ten a day is the record of charters issued to corpora by the secretary of state net Christmas.
