Colonial
Council Office,
St.
Croix, Feb-
ruary
10, 1920.
Tomorrow,
12th, having been
set apart
as
a holiday by prociamation of the
Gov-
ernor for the purpose
of observing
Lin-
coln’s birthday,
there will be
no issue
of
this paper.
This
is
after
consideration
that
so little
attention
is
being
paid
to
holidays nowadays
that the
term has
lost
the meaning
it used
to
have,
nearly
all
places
of
business
being
Kkept
open
throughout
the
so-called
holidays
th
t
when.a
day is specially set apart
we
can-
not but feel like observing it in
real old-
time fashion
and
let our hands
off for
a
deserved
recreation.
v
To-morrow
the post
office will observe
for business
the
hours from
8-9
a. m.,
and
4-sp.
m.
:
As will he seen
by those
who heard
the
addresses
of the
Congressional
Commis-
sion,
most
of the
ground
was covered
in
the stand
that Mr. Tot en
took in his lec-
ture,
at
the
Theatre
a
few nights
ago.
After
hearing
these
great
gentlemen
speak,
we cannot with justice agree,
that
the visit of
the delegates
of the
Virgin
Islands
Protect
ve Leasue
has done
more
harm
than
good. —Communicated.
