j AS THE SPIRIT MOVETH J
OUR BEST WISHES.
The Spirit Wishes a Merry Christ
mas to All, While the Editor
Expects a Most Cheerless
One.
The Spirit extends to all mankind,
friend and foe alike, the / compliments
of the season, wishing to all a merry
Christmas and a happy and prosper
ous New Year. May peace on earth,
good will toward men, abide with
every one of us.
So far as the editor himself is con
cerned, the approaching Christmas
promises much more suffering than
joy, owing to a serious and painful
throat affection that has been causing
him intense suffering ever since last
Saturday morning, keeping him in
bed a good portion of the time. Yet
he has given his business considera
ble of his time, just the same, but
could do little else besides taking care
of the job printing and advertising
orders, which have been heavy this
week. In fact so much advertising
matter came in for the local and
editoral pages during the last few
hours before going to press with the
last run, that a great deal of interest
ing news and editorial matter has
been unavoidably crowded out. Had
the late advertising come earlier in
the week, arrangements could have
been made to print two extra pages,
but the editor being sick and scarcely
able to be about, he was glad to get
the paper out the easiest and quick
est way possible.
The editor and publisher of The
Spirit had planned to get out a hand
some 12 page Christmas edition with
a beautiful lithographed cover, to be
the best and handsomest publication
ever issued In Frostburg, but owing
to sickness and the fact that the old
est two employes in the shop quit to
embark in business for themselves, in
Cumberland, right on the eve of the
holiday season, The Spirit’s proposed
handsome holiday number had to be
abandoned, much to the publisher’s
regret, and greatly to his loss and the
loss of his readers.
. Truly it seems that Pete Livengood
came to Frostburg under an unlucky
star, for he has had but one continual
round of misfortune since coming
here, such as being more or less ill
almost ever since he purchased the
Mining Journal plant, also having
much sickness in his family, an ex
pensive moving of his plant from
quarters much to small into quarters
which are a disappointment, where he
is annoyed, harrassed and injured in
business almost every day and night
by basketball games and other an
noyances overhead in a building too
frail for that kind of sport. Many of
our readers can testify to this.
Yet, in spite of all these handicaps,
worries and annoyances, The Spirit
has been doing a nice business from
the very start, a business which is in
creasing right along, discounting all
its bills and providing well for the
publisher’s family. Therefore, old
“Uncle Pete” is not going to give up
in despair, even though his present
throat trouble seems to be growing
worse from day to day.
He has a sort of presentiment that
the worst of the seige will be reached
about Christmas day, and while it
threatens to keep him from swallow
ing turkey or much of anything else
that is good, he nevertheless is opti
mistic enough to believe that when
this old 1913 year is over, that 1914
will prove a fortunate number for
him, and that everything will just
naturally come his way, as things did
in other towns where he has followed
this business. Anyway, he is hoping
so, and it is a source of satisfaction to
him to know that his family will be
amply provided for on Christmas day,
as has been the case all along, and that
he has some money to contribute to
those who have not the wherewith to
buy a good dinner for the glorious
occasion.
Really, when the editor looks bach
over the time since he lauded here,
and notes all that he has had to con
tend with since coming here, he
wonders how he ever managed to get
out a paper at all. The paper has
been poor enough, and is still poor
enoug’h, he admits. It is not up to
his own ideals nor to his ability to
make it under favorable conditions,
which he hopes will yet come to him.
He also knows that the paper’s cricics
are numerous and severe, in fact so
unjustly severe in some cases as to
be nothing short of persecution. But,'
fellow citizens, old “Uncle Pete” is
charitable enough to acknowledge but
a very few people in Frostburg, if
any, as his enemies. Most of the
knockers do not know and cannot
realize what the writer has had to
contend with. If they only knew the
circumstances as the editor knows
them, they would feel sorry for their
criticisms and be his staunchest and
best friends.
But, while your local editor has
been wounded deeply by unjust criti
cism, “many times and oft,” since
coming here, he has also made many
, warm friends in Frostburg friends
with broad-gauge ideas, with good,
red blood in their veins, with big, gen
erous hearts and magnanimous souls,
who are for Frostburg and the home
paper first, last and all the time
friends who have been liberal and
, generous in their patronage and in
• their moral support, knowing that a
= town of 8,000 people without a news
paper, at this day and age of the
J world is a laughing stock and a dis
" grace to 20th century civilization.
. And, furthermore, now is an oppor
> tune time to thank our many good
friends and patrons for their gener
j ous support, wishing them a double
. share of Christmas joy and New Year
, prosperity.
I But, dear reader, to which class do
I you belong the booster or the
, knocker class? If to the former, be
proud of yourself; if to the latter, be
ashamed of yourself and get out of
■ your detestable, moss-back class.
We all know the paper is not what it
ought to be, nor what in course of
time it will be if you boost instead of
, knocking. But even as matters stand
> now, it is the neatest printed paper in
r Allegany county, and you know it.
■ Besides, it has ranked above the
, average weekly paper from the very
i start, and from the very start it has
been a credit to the town, in spite of
- all imperfections.
, Handsome Window Displays.
[ The Spirit’s advertisers, at any rate
. the most of them, have very hand
some window displays appropriate to
, the season. Read the advertisements
in the paper, then go and size up the
. windows and the goods, you will see
some nice and good things, and The
. Spirit’s advertisers will give you the
■ biggest values for your money, for
. they are the live-and-let-live fellows,
■ and all in the booster class.
“Did you see our window?” inquir
ed Alex Davis, yesterday evening.
Yep, you bet we did, Alex, and she’s
a dandy and hard to beat.
An Absolutely Fair Contest,
The contest now on • for the cash
gold prizes offered by the Citizens
National Bank, is creating lots of in
terest, and many are striving for the
prizes.
The awards are bound to be fairly
and impartially made, for the judges
making them will not know who the
contestants are, as each letter that
conies in is numbered, and the signa
tures are also numbered and detached
from the letters as received. The
judges will not be permitted to see
the signatures until after the awards
are made, and the awards will be
made by number. Then the duplicates
of the winning numbers will be look
ed for among the signatures and the
result announced.
Note the bank’s advertisement in
this issue, and get in at the begin
ning with the next Christmas Sav
ings Club.

Flue Attraction Coming.
The Cullen & Poland Minstrels,
made up of local talent of Midlad, will
appear in the Frostburg Opera House,
Monday evening, Jan. 12th under the
auspices of the Frostburg Civic Club.
They come highly recommendated,
and everybody should turn out to
hear them, for several reasons. First,
because the company is made up of
home talent from one of our good
neighboring towns; second, because
the show is being given partly for the
benefit of our praiseworthy Civic
Club, an organization which is doing
much good for our town. The Civic
Club and the Minstrels are both
worthy of a generous support, and
those who attend the show will be
given the worth of their money sever
al times in myrth and music of a high
order.
The company is composed of 30
artists and 20 trained musicians, and
is away ahead of many more preten
tious shows.
Admission, adults, 35 and 50 cents;
children, 25 cents.
LEST THEY FORGET.
Hunt out the little lame girl,
The poor boy who is blind;
Hunt out the weary widow
Who thinks the world unkind;
Search down among the hovels
Where gladness seldom strays,
And teach the doubting people
There still are Christmas days.
You have been busy planning
To spread your gifts afar,
To add your fair love-tokens
Where joys and comforts are,
But have you in your gladness
Bestowed one kindly thought
On those who sit in darkness,
Whose crusts are dearly bought?
Your heart is full of kindness.
You hear the anthems sung
And gaze up in the windows
Where ribboned wreaths are hung;
You’ve heard the sweet old story
With reverence retold—
But there are hungry children
Where all is dark and cold.
Hunt out the little lame girl,
The poor boy who is blind;
Hunt out the weary widow
Who thinks the world unkind;
Go down among the victims
Of chance and greed and crime,
And cause them to remember
That this is Christmas time.
