No Issue Of This Paper New Year’s Day Following the custom established over twenty-five years ago, whet publication of The Banner was be gun, there will be uo issue of this paper on New Year’s Day. In closing the year 1922 we thanl the public for the generous patron age accorded us during this and pre vious years and also for the patience and forbearance shown in the pasi seven months during which time wt have worked under very trying cir cumstances, the end of our building having been out part of the time windows out, scaffolds erected all over the building, plasterers, plumb ers. painters, carpenters, electricians, etc., at work, during all of which time we have never missed an issue of our papers. We expect during the coming year to publish a much better paper than has been published in the previous *■ quarter of a century of The Banner’s life. We have installed a faster and larger press, are putting in an ad , ditional type setting machine, expect to put in a stereotyping outfit buy ad ditional type and make such other expenditures as may be necessary to put our equipment in first class con dition. We confidently believe that we shall have the loyal co-operation of the public in our effort to publish a better paper- We wish for the people of this community health, peace and happi ness during the coming year and hope that all of our people may be more prosperous. We know that a large portion of our population has not been prosperous during the past two years but we believe that the clouds are lifting and that the suu of prosperity will shine brightly during the next year for them and for all kindred industries. That this may bo realized is our New Year’s wish £ for one and all. *_ o Mrs. John W.

It was so bad that 3 " his mother told him he would Have to is stay in the house all day. You all know that it is very hard to have to k sit at a window and watch the other children having a good time in the 1_ snow. “ This was the way with Billy Bear :e He began to cry but immediately 3t stopped upon hearing his mother promise. e “If you will be a good boy Billy, and take it like a man I w T ill oring g you a surprise when I go down this 3 afternoon.” This made it easier to bear so Billy settled down to read the books and )_ play with the toys that Santa Claus 3, had brought him. h At last after what had seemed years to Billy his mother came home from down town. She had'two bags.! One was small and the other was r very large. It looked almost like it! n held potatoes. The small bag prov ed to be a pound of candy. “But why did you get so much s Mumsey ” questioned Billy, d Open the other bag and maybe you 1- will see.” was the reply he received Upon opening it he found little 1 Tommie Bear his cousin from Bear ’ villa r The result of the afternoon was 0 spent in playing games, telling each . other stories, then Tommie told Billy about his school and Billy in turn * told him of his. n The afternoon passed so quickly b they hardly realized it. was time for supper when Billy’s father came home from work- Alter supper s when Tom started to go home Billy " begged him so hard that he-decided 1 to spend the night.

I E* don’t suppose Aunt Mary will mind.” [• Billy Bear started at half past nine at a pace which would have done a t, mule credit. He arrived there at l ten o’clock ‘ He and Tommie got their sleds and went over to the school to coast on the hill. A race was about to toe begun and they were allowed to take part in it. . All of the contestants were very evenly matched, but when the race ended it whs found that Tommie, Billy and Jack Rabbit tvere the winners. After ihe race intro duction were made ahd a good time began for all. That afternoon Tommie and Billy went to the movies and upon coming out discovered that it was almost time for Billy to go home. They stopped in and got an ice cream soda from the funny old man at the drug store however before Billy did leave. About half way home Billy over took little Petey Frog, whofwent to his school, running as fast as he could. “What’s the matter Petey,” he called. “The schools on fire and it looks like the court house is going to catch.” was the breathless reply. “Well jump on her with me and we will get there in a jiffy,” invited Billy Bear- Those of you who want to hear about the exciting adventures of Billy Bear and Petdy Frog had bet ter read the paper Tuesday night for I have written all there is room for - in tonight’s paper. o STATE OF MARYLAND Office Of The Secretary Of State To All Whom It May Concern: Notice Is hereto}' given that applica tion has been made to the Governor of Maryland for the pardon or parole of John A.

Then Black-Draught was advertised and we heard of it. “1 began to taice Elack-Draught, and have used it, when needed, ever since. I use Black-Draught now in my home, and certainly recommend it for any liver trouble. “I have given it a thorough trial, and i after thirty years can say Black-Draught is my stand-by. It has saved me many ! sick spells.” Mr. Cromer writes that he is “never out of Black-Draught,” and says several of his neighbors prefer it to any other liver medicine. “I always recommend Black-Draught to my friends,” he adds. This valuable, old, powdered liver medicine is prepared from medicinal roots and herbs, and has none of the bad effects so often observed from the use of calomel, or other powerful mineral drugs.
