On New Years Eve COngenlal party |
Of young folks were pleasantly enter
tanned by Mr. Lee Robinson, at his
home in Belyidere. The event was
MANNED TO be in line with the tradi-
tional custom Of witnessing the demise
of the old year, and the advent Of the
new one. 1895 certainly had no just
cause for complaint for its reception in
Wheeling. for by the aid Of Nature the
city donned her best bib and tucker in
the shape of an immaculate gown. Very
appropriate for a commencement, as
our school girls know. But maybe this
was not the case, and the
city was just turning over
nice new leaf, like her in
habitants. some of whom are so prone
to err. Music. talking and laughing
sped old decrepit '95 into eternity, as
at last a screeching of whistles and a
general pandemonium Of noise pro-
claimed.
