The Coming Yenr.

The new year can be likened unto u
blankbook of 365 pages, which has been
placed in our hands. What will the
book ontain at the end of the year?
Some pages will be stained with tears
Some will be crumpled as if clutched in
despair. Some will contain words of
hate and anger, which will burn the
page wherein they are written. Other
pages will be filled with the record of
something accomplished. something
DONE, which has learned nights re-

fees, loves and faithful devotions Sc

New Year In China.

New Year is the national pay day in
China. All accounts must be squared
up at that time, and the man who can't
raise money enough to pay his debts
has to go into bankruptcy, says an ex-
change. The laws are such that the
creditor can enter the debtors house
and take what he pleases if there is no
settlement. To prevent such action fam
lilies club together and make all sorts of
compromises to keep up the business
reputation CT the clan. New Year is
great day for the pawnbrokers Their
shops are crowded with people who
want to redeem their best clothes before
the new year. There are crowds also
who want to pawn other things in order
to get money to pay their debts. Pawn
brokers receive high rates of interest,
in which they are protected by the gov.
eminent. -Omaha World Herald

The New Year.


A rosy child of graybeard time,
On the purple hills of morn,
Aureoled with winters rhine.
Yesternight for us was born.
Down the grim, bleak western sky
His languid footed brother crept:
The youngster comes with jollity-
The tottering figure died unwept.
All the past is left behind
What avails it? Mourn it not!
Take the year that here you find
Clean, without a blemished spot.
It's fair rosary of days
Linked must be with hopes and fear
We can soil = with grace
Meet its jo,, md mist of tears.
Some sad pigs on it's way
Shall fall before the journeys end,
But courage is the word today,
Whatever time or fate intend
Hope. the siren, whispers now
Her sorcerous tale 10 every ear.
So here's a chaplet for the brow
OF times fresh heir, the bright Ne
Year!

Everything continues to improve, and
prices are in sympathy. The recent holl-
days or the coming holidays seem to have
absolutely no effect on the market, and
from the volume of business done during
the past few weeks it appears that people
are as we'll or even better satisfied with the
small per cent they are now getting for in
vestments. The market this week has
shown great Improvement and to-day prices
are higher than they have been for eight
years an / the prospects are very bright.
The best investment to point out to-day
in the market is Western Union Telegraph
five per cent stock selling around SO is
very cheap. Paper shares have, as pre-
dicted, advanced and quite sharply, too, the
common to 81 and the preferred to 95.
/ Wheat has shown great improvement in
a week, having advanced seven cents q
bushel. Buy wheat.
The copper shares have been wonders o.
late and show from 10 to 20 points advance
in the past week, and while at present
nothing seems to stand in the way Of mucl
higher prices it seems as though there mus
be limit to such wildcat transactions.

ON TO RICHMOND.

AS during the war of the rebellion,
there is already an existing and grow
ing tendency amongst too many Amer
leans to adversely criticise both our
government and officers in command for
their conduct of hostiities thus early in
the campaign. The serious and dis
astrous results, of similarly unseason-
abe, unjust and unfounded criticisms
during that war are matters of history.
Every one of such critics know how to
run newspaper ana how to plan and
conduct campaign such as We have
before us-until they try it.
Ia all seriousness and federation of
legitimate difference of opinion as to
pJlicy and procedure, with full recogni-
tion of freedom of speech, and after
carefully weighing our words, the Cen
soB can not but condemn as emphati
cilly as language will enable us to dc
80, the man or men who thoughtlessly
or with intent abuse the president and
bis cabinet, or the commandment of the
army and navy, in complete ignorance
of facts and conditions and absence OF
responsibility. 1t can not but embsrras
and may urge to unwise and periloue
actions those we have placed in author
ity. Ne true American will, and no I'M
true American should, be permitted to
dsfame his country, and lmperil her in
terests by even thoughtless word.

Betsey Allen, wife of Martin f. Allen, died
at her home in the town of Jefferson, April
II, from a stroke of paralysis that lasted only
tWenty-four hours, when her tim on earth
was no more.
She was born in St. Lawrence county, New
York, November 90, 1880, and was nearly "
wears and months old. She came with her
husband to Vernon county in 1885, ana en-
dured the hardships and privations OF plo-
nee life. They first settled some i've miles
northwest from VroIua, in the town or JET
ferson bat soon moved to Newton, where he
built the mills and their belongings, which
he sold in 1873 when they settled seven miles
west of Viroqua where she died. Mrs Allen
raised a family OF five boys and two girls. all
of whom are living and comfortably settled
save the oldest son, who died in the armV
They were all present at the funeral, put the

able to come on account of sickness her
death was shock to her aged companion
who is some ten years her senior, but he ana
the family have the sympathy of host OF
friends, who have been befriended by the de-
ceased in her many womanly traits.
Mrs. Allen was true and loving compan-
ion, a dutiful mother and "a kind and sympa-
thizing friend. The funeral services were
held at the house, conducted by Rev. L. n;

by large number of friends and neighbors.

Folsom. April ga. A, Morkri of Folsom.
and M ISIS Christina Bolstad, of Stump Ridge,
were united in marriage last Wednesday.
All join in wishing them happiness and pros
perfty and long life. Who will be the next
man made happy. Albert Evefson met with
painful accident on Thursday of last week.
His team ran away and threw him ONT
and broke his leg. He is doing nicely under
the care of DR.. Brown, of Soldiers Grove.
The young men of Folsom are ready to fight
Spain if Uncle Sam needs them. Their young
hearts beat with patriotism as their fore
fathers did of Old. Our rustler Ole Solver
son. is making big Improvements on his fine
farm. The prospect is good for a large acre
age OF tobacco in this vicinity the coming
season. Everybody says there is more mon
ey in tobacco than any Other branch of farm
ing. Money is the root OF all evil, but every
one likes to get more of the root. If the
Folsom girls form a league against tobacco
growers like the Liberty Pole girls, | am
afraid they will have to go through this
world single handed. 1t is not surprising
them to see dashing young men from Lib
erty Pole, so often in our pleasant village.
