YOUNG 'EiGRTY-fIgE.
How The New Year Mas Usherad
Into Life
In WheeIing---An Important, Though
Quiet Event--The Registers Com
pliments---Doings Of
the Day.

About midnight cool breeze sprang ~
and waited the Old Year away. 1t has
gone. Old 81, with its exciting events, its
tales Of the flood, its stirring political bat
ties aud its glorious Democratic victory, with
lbs record Of labor troubles, its pages Of
crime and calamity, its good and its bad
deeGs indeibly impressed upon it, has
passed into history. And on the wings of
the morning Young - was waited in, bear
ing in his hand the pure white scroll, ready
for tie varied history Of an
other year. Few watched the old
year die. The streets we're quiet
and the lights not many as the Capitol bell
announced the dawning OF the year. The
click of the types and the roll Of the ponder
GUS press in the REGISTER Office were almost
the only signs OF lie in the city. A few
Observation-Disclosures the custom
airy watch meetings were held, gave token
Of life as the prayer assembled bearing Pc
titiOn Tor forgiveness for the deeds OF the
past year and grace for the year Just born.
Several Young men struggled homeward, at
1925, having sat the old year out, and sew
eral more staggered in the same direction,
having marked the meeting Of the two
epochs by a convivial glass.
So came the New Year to Wheeling.
Under the conventional form, the REGIS
TIERS wish has deeper meaning To its
patrons and the public it wishes that as
each day $ space OF the scroll Of 1855 is IN
rolled it may record unlimited happiness,
growing greater as the year grows older.
New Years day is purely secular holi'
day. 1t has been legalized and is generally
observed, except BY the newspapers, which
are kept going to enable other people to
know how they enjoyed the day. There
will be very little, in the line Of observances,
TO chronicle in Wheeling. The custom Of
calling, so ancient and so pleasant, has lost
caste and today will be but minor feature.
Some few ladies will receive in style, with
open house, and large number will be
at home TO their irieuds, but calling will
not be generally observed. 10 its place,
the young society people will give a grand
german at FranzAeim Hall. Neat cards,
headed
