Beginning tomorrow, date your letters
1903. Don't forget this; it is an inn
portant matter.
The PILOT extends TO all its readers
the compliments of the season, and
| wishes everyone joyous and gladstone
New Year. We hope that the good
fortune of the past year which has been
yours, will be with you in the new year
in rounded, heaping fullness and that
the little vexsome trifes may be lost
Again we say, "Happy New Year"

cork screws before they board the

senger with damp towel around his

take up his ticket and collect full fare.
Extra large tanks who see double,
must pay double fare. The porter will
retire to the platform while removing

passengers.
The Y. Nj. q. A. management has
planned a busy time for tomorrow.
From 900 o'clock in the morning until
10 in the evening, there will be pro-
gram all day to amuse visitors, and
everyone is welcome. During the day
an athletic program will be carried out,
which will be interesting in every de-
tail. In the evening the Seniors and
Business Men will play game of base
ball, followed by literary and musical
program. Refreshments will also be
served.
This is the dull period in industrial
circles. Most of the factories will be
closed until after New Years to allow
repairs to be made and inventories to
be taken. Most of the merchants, too,
are figuring up their years profits and
taking an inventory of their stocks.
The congregation of the NJ E. church
will hold watch night services this
evening and will remain seated in the
church until the new year is given
birth.
Many citizens are today cleaning up
their artillery, in preparation of pro-
claiming the birth of the new year. At
midnight church bells will also peal,
and for few minutes there will be a
din which will awaken the soundest
sleeper from his slumbers.
While we are welcoming the new
year let us not forget the old one. The
year 1907 has brought many welcomed
things to us and may the new one be as
kindly in its dealings with our people.
Then, after all, what is the use rejoic-
ing in the coming of another year We
are approaching just that much nearer
the end
Many people will find much enjoy
ment in taking their first sleigh ride of
the season tomorrow. We venture to
say that every liveryman in town will
do good business.
After twelve O'Clock tonight it will be
up to marriageable-inclined maidens to
pop the question to their 'fellers."
Here is a chance for girls who have
tarried too long by the wayside on the
path of ''single blessedness." The
maker OF calendars put one extra day
in the month of February this year and
thus we have leap year. Girls, get
busy.
The Swedish NJ h. church will con-
duct a watch night service tonight.
Refreshments will be served.
Company G members will give ball
at their armory this evening.
The county officials are balancing
their books and making up their annual
reports, so as to start the new year with
clean pages.
