expressed a wish To be Inferred in her ma tive

Happy New Year.

The practice of wishing our friends
and acquaintances good fortune at the
beginning of a newyear is one of great am
tiquity: in fact, it is not possible to point
out the exact date or manner of its vri-
gin. There was time when the year
began with the spring and if seems
most likely that the waking up of ma
ture from sleep of win ter, and the pro
sDect of the flowers and fruits, the YIN.
tagc and harvests of another season,
was SO delightful that it was the most
natural thing in the world for men to
congratulate each other. In accord>
ance with custom that is now univer-
sal, we wish all our friends a happy and
successful year for 1896. The ''times''
seem better already than they have
been for several years; there is a feeling
of coming prosperity in the air; there
is more hope for good result from
hard work; and it mainly now depends
on our courage, our hopefulness and
our honesty, to make 1896 banner
year. We should add also, the possess
sion and exercise of good judgment, or
"horse sense" which will certainly ba
shown in at least one way, if you buy
your railroad tickets via the Burlington
Route.
