ELIZABETH CITY. Jan. 7, 1895
18o7-o8.

Saturday was the last day of
the week, but the first day of
~tle month and the beginning OF
4 new year. Eighteen hundred
ald ninety-seven passed quietly
and peacefully, away, to be mum
bered among the many things OF
the past, thus leaving the old
year dead, dead, dead. TO all
things except to memory.
1898 came in merrily and
J0yfully. A number of our citi-
=ens were out until mid night
upon the streets, to bid the dy-
1g year a farewell and the new
ear a hearty welcome. Just
before midnight the bells OF
the city were tolling their mourn
f., sounds, letting the world
NOV that the old year was
aoout to be recorded among the
tnings of by gone days. But
his only lasted a short while.
The sound changes, and the
bells begin to ring the joyful
5 und, the midnight guns begin
firing, fireworks were displayed,
steam whistles sounded from all
p4rts of the city, and all nature
seemed glad to welcome the
GAVIN Of 1898.
To the old year we say fare
we'll you have brought to some
peace,Epleasure and prosperity
while to others pain, misery and
"oe. With the hope that the
new year will bring 10 us all
Joy, happiness and prosperity =
We again bid the year of 1897 q
final farewell.

HUGE WATERSPOUT.
New Workers Flee in Terror to
Places of Safety.

New York, June 20.-Hundreds of
New Yorkers-men, women and chill
dren-who had spent. the day at Rock
away were greatly frightened by see
ing a huge waterspout moving rap
idly toward them on the beach.
The big Rockaway boat was loading
for the city. There had been a terrific
thunder shower just before, and the ex-
cursionists had just ventured out from
their places of shelter.
The waterspout was first seen fol-
lowing the Rockaway inlet channel
toward Jamaica bay, and was moving
rapidly toward the point where the ex-
curSiOniSts were standing.
The top of it was round and black,
and the swirl of the funnel could be
plainly followed. The bottom lifted as
it moved along, seeming to touch the
waters of the inlet every quarter of a
mile.
1t had appeared in the west and was
moving with great rapidity, and people
for shelter where they could find
it, not knowing whether the phenom-
enOn in the heaven was a waterspOut,
a cyclone or a sign of the last day.
At last the waterspOut burst, in view
of every one on the beach. 1t seemed
