8 CAME JOYOUS CHRISTMAS, A BOON TO MANKIND The Day of Cheer and Joy is Here. Large Business Done During the Past Week. Yesterday was an icicai winter day and the shoppers who put off making their purchases until the day before Christinas had excellent weather. The etores and shops were thronged during the day and the evening and many ac; ticles wer taken home to gladden the hearts of the young and many of the older members of the family. The business men anticipating a big demand for holiday goods placed large orders and two weeks ago the business places were chock full of goods that make suitable gifts.

The early shopping was light compared with past years and it was feared by some' of the dealers that much of their large stocks would remain unsold. As the days passed and the Christmas festival approached the sales grew and during the past several days an enormous business was done. The stocks of nearly every business place in the city are depleted and the sales exceeded the most sanguine ex pectations of the dealers. The rush during yesterday ami the few preceding days was great and the hard working clerks are no doubt glad that Christinas is at hand so that they may recuperate after the laborious work of the past week. Assisting the thousands of buyers to make their purchases is very exhausting of vita) force and the patience the salesmen and saleswomen displayed is remarkable when the exacting character of some buyers is known.

The great majority of those who made purchases are agreeable and it is only the few who make strings out of the nerves of the clerks. "What a contrast there is between the happy and contented looks of the people today and the downhearted, despir ited feeling that existed in all parts of the anthracite regions during the try ing days of the strike. Today comparatively speaking everybody is happy and during the summer very few if any escaped the depressed air that hovered over the valley. Work is certainly a great blessing when it produces such a change in people. The night of trouble and idleness thank heaven has passed and the days of activity and contentment is again here.

It is sincerely hoped that the dark clouds of contention and strife will never again obscure the sun of prospity whose effulgent rays have warmed the hearts and brought peace and quiet to the minds of the people of this valley. There is no place in the whole country where there are so many happy homes in proportion to its population as there are in Carbondale. It has always been thus and may it continue so. No matter where the residents of this city may they are unanimous in saying that there is no place like the old pioneer city. This fact is emphasized by the annual visits that those who have gone to other place to fight life's battle all return and gather about the family fireside at Christmas.

For the past week every train arriving here has carried those who make it a practice to come home for the holidays. They are all welcomed' back and their friends and acquaintances make their stay here as pleasant as possble. The joys of Christmas are more fully appreciated by those who have been away from home and friends during the year, than by those who enjoy those benefits continuously. It. is a time when cheerfulness and the smile of gladness should adorn the face of men and women as well as the little ones.

Every one should enter into the beautiful spirit of the clay and get as much genuine pleasure out of it as is possible. Forget your troubles and be merry today for there are times when we cannot avoid being sad. Christmas day however, is a day when we should drive away trouble and care and rejoice that it occupies such a prominent place in the Christian calender. BOY INJURED.

A marriage licence was issued tliiu past week to Sylvester Rosensrant of Shupp Hill anil Mrs. Rosa Smith Rosengrant of the same place. Both of the parties are well known in this place. Mr. Rosengrant was an uncle by marriage and by reason of being a brother to the father of the deceaseet husband of the bride.

Willis Rosengrant was the son of the late Horace Rosengrant. Willis took for his wife some 3d years ago Miss Lavina Billings, a daughter of the late Abe Billings noted as a lighter from np the creek and an a result of the marriage was born to them a boy who was named after hi. grandfather. Billings. Willis moved over to town and was taken ill and died, and thou his widow became the bride of bis brother, Sylvester Rosengrant.

Time passed along and. Mi. Lavina Billings Hosenftrant went the way of all flesh and the farm up on Shupp Hill that was standing in her name descended to her son Abe, subject to the life estate of Sylvester. Then Abe married a Miss Dicker on and later their ways separated and they were divorced. Abe's next was in marrying Miss Rosa Smith, a daughter of the late Theodore Smith, son of Homy Smith.

The mother of Rosa was a Miller. The Abe Rosen grants and the "Duke," or Sylvester, Rosengrantx, lived in great harmony on the old place up there on Shupp Hill. To Mr. anil Mrs. Abe was born a.

line baby and then Abe, who had been quite an invalid, died. Now both have been lonely Sylvester and Rosa and as a result they decided to join their lots, and hence the marriage. Now the relationship of Sylvester to that baby is the query. He i at this writing its stepfather, because he married its mother. He is the grandfather of the child becauso he married the mother of the child's father, or rather was the husband of tlye baby's mother, and, of coui se.

the grandfather of the baby. Being the brother of the grand baby's grandfather, he is the granduncle of the baby. He is the father in law, of his wife, for diet she not marry his son Abe? But a word more of the family. The mother of "Duke" was a Rought and she was an excellent woman. Horace Rosengrant.

the father of Duke, was a man of many parts and he could play the fiddle in the good old "up the creek" way. That gift he transmitted to his progeny, for both Willis and Sylvester could fiddle. Then Henry Wilbur, a grandson, could fiddle, and Abe could draw the bow. Favorites in the old days were "Rye Straw," "Money Musk." "Speed the Plow," "Old Zip Coon," "Rory O'Moore," and tunes of like kin. When Horace sawed the fiddle he did it with all of his body and mind and he kept motion with his head and seemed enraptured by the sweet sounds he was getting out of the box and at the end of his bow.

He was a kindly old man and has gone on to his reward. These lines have not been penned only in tho kindliest of spirits and because a matter of family history should be preserved. Aenid Almot, the famous road maro owned by the late Frank W. Dewitt. one time cashier of the Wyoming National bank, is dead.
