FRANKFORT, DECEMBER 2U, 18S2.
flefore another issue appears Christnm
will have come atul gone, bringing, we hope
pi ensure to nil nnd grief to none. This is
tiie pennon that more there any other Wrings
childhood Itnck, nnd how we revel in memories
of our youthful dnys, remembering
what joy Santn' Clans brought us; nnd
although every circle has been broken, vet
we believe tlmt till who are left, like us,
will travel backward over "time in its
(light," and meet together at the old homestead
on Christmas day. And while the
older ones are in thought living their young
lives over again, the boys and girls of to-day
are left without restraint to enjoy the pres.
ent. The noise of the boys grates less harshly
on our ears; in truth we can enter light
heartily into all of their romps ami plays.
Christmas of all the year should make us
happier, in that we should be more charitable,
more forgiving and thankful, ns it is
the day we celebrate as the birth of a dear,
loving Savior, bringing " peace on earth
good will to men."
Ami now to our subscribers, one and all,
we wish vou a merry Christmas.
There has been a grunt deal said about the
quality of the gas furnished by the Ga
Company, ond that corporation is receiving
a liberal share of abuse at the hands ol
some of our citizens just now on account of
it. At for outsell we have iieni content to
wait until the Company could put in their
new machinery nnd get the works in thorough
running order before we began to coin-
lain, Knowing tiie gentleman in cnargc 01
the affairs of the Company well enough to
believe that they would do their utmost to
furnish a good article. Many claim that
the Company hove had ample time to make
the necessary repairs, and the gns is as good
now as if will ever be. This we believe
will prove to be a mistake, and we base our
belief upon the statement f a practical
mechanic of this city, who has been engaged
in putting up the machinery. He says that
the old works, when the new company took
charge of them, could not have been run
two months longer without five or six thousand
dollars being expended upon them.
That in order to avoid shutting on" the gas
altogether from the city the work of putting
in the new machinery was. done gradually,
which of course tiolc time,
and in addition to this many uufotseeu difficulties
which had to be surmounted,
and of course, caused still (Hither delay.
Hesavs Mr. II. D. Fitch hai done In-, utmost
to push forward the work and to get the machinery
in complete running order &o that
good gas might be supplied a- speedily ns
possible. He snvs that he w confident that
within the next two or three weeks the
Company will be able to furnish a- good a
qunlitv if not better gas than anv that has
been supplied to our citizens heretofore.
In confirmation of the truth of this statement,
the quality of light has been steadily
improving for the last three nights and
would it not be fair for our citizens to wait
yet u little longer before they begin to kick
so vigorously V
