The coming year promises to he one
Of great moment TO every American
citizen. An important change is 81
hard in the administration of public
affairs. There will probably be a spec

following the inauguration OF the new
President. The tariff, especially In The
matter Of wool and coal, will be at once
under discussion, and legislation look
ing TO the restoration Of the national
finances to a sound basis will be intro
duced There will also be new al
ministration in w. Va, and there Isl
every indication that enterprises OF
great importance to the public welfare

proposed river improvements will be
begun. New railroads will be built.
and new material resources OF every
kind developed. The year 1897 prom

To storm the hearts of gallant gay,
While Leap Year loiters on its way.
For, if, alas its course be run,
Ere some dear old boy have won,
Then hope will take long last breath
And must die an old maids death.
So be the fight Men fiirts beware

Take heed how you cast eyes at me,
Or, 10 behold me on my knee.
Beseeching you with earnest tone
To come and share an humble home,
Where we will dine, If needs we must,
Upon the old familiar crust.

So there's no chance Of such escape.

Before tear myself away.
And Bachelors, have.a gun

meeting Monday night the de facto vestry

when the decision was made declaring it
legally elected. Tonight there will be an
adjourned meeting of the de jure vestry, at
