MUSICALE.
Benefit of Edgar Allan Poe Memorial
Association.

On Thursday evening, January 9, at Odd
Fellows Hall, there will be given musicale,
the purpose of which is to raise funds for the
erection of monument in Baltimore to the
memory of Edgar Allan Poe. DR.. Frank
Gibson will deliver a short introductory ad-
dress, and will be followed by home talent.
The young ladies of the town will act as ushers,
and will sell caramels between the numbers.
This effort to perpetuate the name and fame
of Maryand's gifted but wayward poet is a
most worthy one. His great genius entities
his remains toa more conspicuous resting place
than that which they now occupy. Standing
in that city of monuments, it will say to the
world that great deeds may be wrought with
the pen as we'll as with the sword.
You will not only enjoy this entertainment,
but will have the satisfaction of knowing that
you are aiding good cause. Admission 25c.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 8, 1908
New Years Day.

The opening day of the New Year has
always been regarded with special interest
by all peoples, ancient and modern, and
the general observance Of it, in one way
and another, shows the Importance which
usually attaches to it.
But the particular day to be fixed upon
as the beginning of the new year was, for
long, time very indefinite and subject to
much change. Thus we are told that ever
since the beginning of the christian era,
Christmas day, the Annunciation, Easter
day and the first day of March, have,
each in their turn, shared with the first
day of January, in the honor of opening
the new year.
The Romans, among whom the year
anciently began in March, were the first to
fix upon January as the beginning of the
new year. But it was not until the close
of the sixteenth century that this period
appears to have been generally adopted.
The Jews of the present day celebrate
their New Years festival in the month
Tishri, which corresponds with September
October of our Calendar.
The Roman year consisted Of ten months,
January having 29 days. Noma Pom
pilius, one of the old Roman kings, trans
ferred the beginning of the year from
March to the first day of January, naming
the month for and dedicating it to Janus,
the doublefaced god, who with one face
looked back upon the year just closed, and
with the other face looked upon the open
ing year.
This ancient god was regarded by them
with peculiar interest and sacredness, in
asmuch as he was supposed to preside over
the beginning of everything, and was in
voked on all occasions before their other
deities. We are told that at the dawn of
every day the people addressed their sup
plications to him, and on the first day OF
every year sacrifices of cakes, barley, in
cense and wine were offered in his honor on
twelve affairs.
The character of the celebration of New
Years Day has differed much among dlt-
ferent nations; generally, however, among
all partaking of the nature of joyous
festival.
The New Years festival among the
Chinese covers period Of three days, dur
ing which there is a general mixture OF
paperprayer offerings, fireworks, gongbeat-
ing and gambling.
The first day of the year has from the
earliest times been marked by the be-
stowal of gifts. Under the Caesars 1t Is
said the presents became such source OF
personal profit to the sovereign, and SO
onerous to the people, that they were sub
sequently limited by decree of Claudlus.
And in England, they continued to some
extent, as part as the public expenditure
of the court, as far down of the reign OF
Charles III.
"May the New Year be happy was
the form of congratulation under the ole
Scottish custom, as the morning dawned
upon the opening year. And the DEMO,
CRATIC Advocate repeats these words te
all its patrons and friends at the opening
of the year 1908.

Christmas at the County Home.

The hearts of the thirty. four inmates of the
County Home were gladdened Monday after.
noon when they received their Christmas
treat.
For thirteen years Miss Mary Shellman,
the good angel of the county poor, has seen
that Santa Claus does not neglect them.
Each year Miss Mary has an appeal in the
papers about Christmas time, and from vol
untary responses to this appeal the treat is
purchased.
This year liberal responses were received
from all parts of the county, scarcely dis.
trict not being represented By contributions.
And what goodly sight the gifts were as
they were arranged on one of the large dining
room tables. There were wrappers, dress
patterns and other useful articles of clothing
for the women, socks, handkerchiefs and
smoking and chewing tobacco for the men,
and for each plate of cakes, an orange and
box of candy. But more attractive sight
than the treat were the faces of the happy
recipients.
The following program was given, which all
seemed to enjoy very much, Notwithstanding
the excitement of their anticipations from the
table: Song, Hark The Herald Angels Sing;
prayer Rev. D. l.. Greenfield, D. D.; solo,
Miss Jessie Starr; recitation, Ruth Bohn; song,
Count Your Blessings; address, Rev. Il. G.

talk, Mr. Jesse Garner; distribution of treat; !;
address, Mrs. S. K. Herr; hymn, When the
Roll is called up Yonder; Lords Prayer, led
by Mr.. King of the Seminary; Mizpah bene
diction.
After the distribution of the gifts beauti
full dish was presented to Mrs. Humbert, the
stewardess, by the inmates, as token oftheir
love and appreciation.
The steward and his wife gave a treat to
the inmates Christmas day, and box was
received from the Manchester Sunshine
Society and barrel of gifts from Mrs.
Shriner, Linwood, SO altogether they had a
very happy Christmas.

: 1t had been his misfortune to have
been involved in a serious division of the
