Ghristiansted, St. Geeix
Wednesday, lst January 1896.

To-day being New Year. Day we follow
the good old custom and tender our readers
OuR BEST WISHES for 1896. The year Just
closed has been ia some respects an unfavour-
able one for our main industry but on the
Other hand 1t leaves us with good promises
for the year now opening. Let us hope that
some of these viii he abundautly fulfilled.
In the grent world outside, the year opens
with several serious questions pending. that
threaten 10 involve the nations who are par
ties o the disputes, in war. In all likelihood,
however, we shall see these questions solved
without any Of Them leading to 50 great q
calamity, Those who Justly dread war as one
OF the greatest clIamities that can aflict
mankind, may find consolation in the fact
that the political sky has often before looked
Just as threatening as now and yet has clear
cd and given us a year Of fine weather. May
il be 50 once more
