CHRISTMAS. WE are s'tiold Of Christmas and New Year; and we take- this oppor- tunity of expressing to ALL OUR SUPPORT- ERS our sincere thanks for their kind patronage.- Whên to Fishguard some months ago we hardly kitew whether we had come to stay here or hot. but Having received such a hearty support from all classes of the community, we now feel confident that we have come to stay hei"e ~$<?r nasrife^iy.— We have endeavoured to give all our customers every satisfaction, and we shall coatinid t6. giW- prompt and careful atten- tion to all Printing orders entrusted to us in the future. For neatness of Printing, combined with moderate w@ ;ajic- ii- a position to compete with any printing hous,o in the county.Now, a word or two about our weekly Echo. We were very timid indeed in our attempt of bringing out this newspaper, ^jpija!vv&g'*aB,^eMM %thAL a. similar weekly had been published by our predecessor, and that it had not received the support (through some reason unknown to us) a newspaper ought to have Lad in a town like Fishguard. Anyhow, we ventured to bring out the Echo in an entirely new garb, and we are very happy to be able to state that our undertaking has proved a thorough success and every week we are cheered with Ithe result that we never have a single copy ion our hands breach Thursday evening. If it continues to receive the support it lia 'li*tlier! ]d will very shortly be one of the largest circulated newspapers in the of Pembroke. With the kind assistance of advertisers, we hope, in due time, to have the paper enlarged.

[By PIIILO."] of 6 hristmas is in the air, and although many homes have been made desolate- during the year by death, Christ- mas withal, brings with it sweet recollec- tions dt^<|Jp&dciations of friends that ar no more. The festival '• comes but once I year," and I hope it will bring to all gooa cheer." The folks of a neighbouring farm, believ- ing Christmas to be on Monday last, killed all their geese in readiness for that day.—Shemi, as usual, has done .some slaughtering for the Christmas market. Seeing so many soIdiers"Tn"'the town, I thought that- soiytcone had, droamt of a second French as n. tN- wiseacre, however, told me that they had only come to assist our police in*" 'keeping .order during the Christmas holiday's. I was glad to see Sergeant Acraman, and Corporals Acraman and San brook lppking so well, and judging1 from the shaking of hands on Sunday night last, I think they have been accorded a right good3 wel6tim/ 4 to their native town. I was pleased to see Mr Ernie Jones giving a turn home. What about his pre- sentation meeting? Mr Edwards, photographer, has a splended assortment of Christmas cards- noted alike for their novelty and attrac- tion. Our football team intend visiting St. David's on Boxing Day to play their return match with that team. I anticipate a victory for our boysfahA flhen they -will have a jolly drive home.

The lamp which is to be erected near BrynymbT by*the Rev D. R. Parry Davies will prove a blessing. ° "')'T't,f" ,,¡,{ v.; •I thought of sending you something u very sensational" this week, but with the aid of Chrisijnas^ p^chiings, a.ud the influenza, I am afraid it will upset the nervous system of your readers, therefore I shall send it another time. At this season the wealthy are given to feel in some measure that they are mem- bers of the great family, and they who, by the accident of birth, are in indigent cir- cumstances, are for once in the year invited to share the bounty with their poorer brethren. I wish all my readers the enjoyment of the good tilings provided for them. J trust they will spend a merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
