THE NEW YEAR, 1923
With all its joys and sorrows, the
old year of 1922 is fast drawing to
a close and its dying breath fills the
air in tones mighty like a dirge.
Those who have tasted the bitter!
cup of . disappointment should wash
their hands of the old year, and all
that it leaves behind, and try to
make the coming year a much better
one.
This is a pretty good old world af
ter all, and our lot is just about
what we make it. So let us all try
to live as nearly to the Golden Rule
as we can, and give proper thanks
to Him who makes it possible for us
to enjoy the blessings of the land of
liberty.
To each of our readers and to
each of our business patrons, to all
our friends, and even our enemies,
if we have many, we wish a Hap
py New Year, and thus it must be
if you will only know that true
happiness comes from within.
Bring wha;t the New Year may,
to ourselves, our friends, our city,
our county, our State and our'Na-
tion, there will be genuine joy,
when its days are numbered, in the
realization that we havedone what
we could, to alleviate suffering, to
soothe sorrow, to promote peace and
happiness and justice, and to diffuse
the blessed gospel of love, charity
and tolerance. Our opportunities
for service may not be brilliant, but
they exist. We may never be known
far outside our little circle of fam
ily and friends, but no such circum
scribed field limits our usefulness or
our possibilities of service to the
city and county, since there are so
many ways in which it can be done.
And one of these will be to publish
the best county paper in Central
Kentucky.
THE NEWS will endeavor in the
new year to maintain the same high
standard and merit the approval of
all, that it has during the year now
closing To one and all, then, A
Happy New Year !

the machine shop, which was blaz

'originated in the ignition system of
the machine. Three other machines
in the garage were damaged. A
machine shop in the basement! suf
fered considerable loss from water.
The garage is operated vby Clay
Costigan. Hiss loss is partly cover
ed by insurance. The building is

striking him in the left groin, in
flicting a deep gash. He was other

HEAVY HOLIDAY TRADE JM
PARIS.
The holiday trade in Paris is
said by merchants to have been the
heaviest in recent years. All tke
merchants report a rushing busi
ness, especially in the last days, or
on Monday. Saturday was one of the
busiest days of the year. People
this year made their purchases of a
more substantial nature than here
tofore, and gave gifts that really
had some substantial value. Many
merchants reported selling out their
stosks completely, and some had to
replenish certain lines at the very
last moment.
At the postoflice the business
transacted was a of large volume
than the year before. Postmaster
Payne and his force were up to
their eyes in packages, etc., from the
very start of the holiday season, but
an efficient system enabled them to
get everything away in ship shape
and the general public had no com
plaints to make.
CHILD BADLY INJURED
Jimmie Craven, little son of Mr.
and Mrs. James E. Craven was, seri
ously injured Tuesday by being
thrown from a bicycle he was riding
on Eighth streeti. The little fellow
was trying to avoid striking a little
girl who was riding on a wheel ap
proaching him, when his wheel
swerved, throwing him to the
street. He sustained serious inju
ries about the head and body, and
was rendered unconscious for a long
time. He was picked up and taken
to his home, where he was given
medical attention.
