OLD YEAR, GooD-BYE.-The Danville
Tobacco journal bids the old year goodbye
in this fashion
We linger in the twilight of dying year.
Well nigh run out are the sands of S3. The
weary brain and the tired hand begin to give
way 10 the conscious nearness of a holiday.
We look back upon the busy struggle and
the thought OF its intensity wearie> us. The
thought of rest-Of complete relaxation
from business and the Fastening festivities
of the merry season are all upon us and
we lay down our pen with thankful heart.
Let the old year with its busy madness
GO When We think of its whirl of intense
activity we hardly understand how we
stood the strain. But let it GO 1t has
been kind and gentle year after all
Every stroke of the tired hands was re-
warded with beftting recompense and we
have no room for complaint.
Bnt to the merry season of good will all
hearts are turned. Its festivities, its greet
ings and its rest will fit us all for begin
ming our work anew. Through its benign
influence the weary hands will forget
WEAKNESS and the New Year will come in
with new hopes and new ambitions.

ORIGINAL POETRY
BUT YET THEY GRIND.

Truth that a pagan poet
Recorded long ago,
Well does the world still know it
THE mills of the gods grind slow"
You hear no sound of whirring
As the mighty wheels 90 round;
BY a Power unseen, uncrring,
Mems destinics are ground.
Vain is the wild endeavor,
PowercSs the hate of man;
Those Mills go on forever,
Resolving Gods own plan.
No mortal ken may measure
The purpose of one life;
He works His perfect pleasure
Through all our noise and strife.
Await, then, we who sorrow
When faithleSs friends are gone,
The issues of tomorrow -
Gods mills are grinding on.
O sad hearts, schooled in learning
To bear some bitter wrong,
Those tireless wheels are turning
The end may be ere long.
When from life's toll and worry
We rest, beneath the sod,
Still, without pause or hurry,
Shall grind those mills of God.
With justice full and equal
Our diverse fates befall;
Though long deferred the sequel,
At length He grindeth dN

There is nothing, we repeat, in

Our schedule of their offences is

hides the dark significance of betray-
ed friendship recorded in the big Dr.

nor phonetic figure conceals the i'm
port of figures which attest nothing
so loudly as the wonderful submis-
sion of the merchants to the exactlons
of the plunderers.
And yet it is said, when the JOUR

such ignoble auspices that sit is a

But it pleases it beyond measure
to affirm that the vast majority of our

WILLIAM O'BRIEN says that the true
newspaper man is the watch dog of
civilization. There is some truth in
that. If it wasn't for him the historian n
and "Dumpsman' would soon grind
civilization into snuff. Then when
Kilduff took one of his Gargantuan
pinches the rest of the brotherhood of
professional peers in the nobility of
labor would hunt the cellar and stay
until the great man enjoyed the sweet
pain of cyclonic sneeze. They would
then come out of their holes, clear up
the wreck, lay the debris in the COB. and
wait nervously for the next cataclysm
Yes, Willie, the true newspaper is
not only the watch dog of civilization,
but it is the bull dog which chaws up
secret societies organized for public pur-
