OLD NEW YEAR CUSTOMS.

In age most OF the holidays we
keep through the year are young as
compared with the new year. From
the time Of the Julian reformation OF
the calendar, the old Romans kept the
FIRST Of January as a holiday, dedicat.
ing II and the whole OF the following
month to Janus, who opened and
closed the gates OF the year. sacri.
fees were offered to him on twelve
affairs corresponding TO the months of
the year, and people were careful to
be on their best behavior that day that
It might prove a propitious augury for
the whole year.
It was a day Of visiting, Of family
gatherings, and Of exchanging OF gifts
and also of he reconciling OF differ
ences between friends and relatives
These obseryances In our day are as.
ISOLATED with Christmas rather than
with New Year. but the more fully
they are observed, whether az the one
season or the other the more blessed
the result
Among other ancient customs Of the
new year were the cutting and ex.
changing Of branches OF mistletoe by
the Druids. and the presentation Of
eggs by the Persians.

TOURIST PRINTERS.

Major Geo. Butler Of The Citrus
County Chronicle, the best local news
gatherer Of the entire weekly press
in Florida, as well as a first-class
printer, has the following to say of
the typo tourists who visit this State
during the winter months:
Tourist printers are getting very
frequent in Florida just now, and we
want to draw comparison with those
Of several years ago. When we first
came to Florida from Georgia, %
years ago, tourist was glad to get
work, and as far as we were con-
cerned, we generally got 1t. Our first
type setting IN the State was at Live
Oak, when Editor Whitfield put us to
work. Since that time we have new
er lacked for situation, and never
failed to work when occasion required.
But things have changed. A different
set of tourists are striking the State
every winter. If they can single out
a printer who has a permanent situa-
tion they pipe him off and -endeavor
to spend the winter on the fruits of
his industry. This same class Is in
the State now, and more are coming.
We have had a taste OF them, and we
hope they win steer clear from us
hereafter. NO printer ever passed
by US hungry or in want of bed. but
the professional bum who seeks to
bleed us to the extent of our wages
every Saturday night will get the go

THE COUNTY HAS SOLD BONDS
Rollins & Company, Of Baltimore, The
Purchasers.

The bonds prepared by the
county commissioners some time
ago have been sold the price be-
ing $lO2.5O. This, in consider
alton of the length of time the
bonds are to run and the time in
placing themson the market, is a
good price.
The history of the issue of
these bonds is well known in the
county: The first issue came up
in an election on the question of
issuing bonds in the sum of $500,
600 and was voted down; the
county commissioners then bor-
rowed money to build the Rox-
boro road and repair the bridges
damaged by the floods, and then
asked the legislature to allow
them the pay off this debt with
bonds in the sum of $3.50, 900.
The bonds are redeemable in
twelve years and the commission
ers will make arrangements to
take care of them.

organizations to be represented
by members not only of Char

tions of this and adjoining States.
There is every indication that
the city will have within its bor-

fore in its history. Every town
in North Carolina will be repre-
sented and a large number from
other States. will be present. 1t is
estimated that not less than 100,

Famous Hotel DESTROYED

Danville. Va, April l6.-The
beautiful Mecklenburg Hotel al

city on the Keysville and Dur
ham branch of the Southern Rail.
way, was destroyed by fire this
afternoon. The hotel was an ex.
pansive frame structure, built II
years ago by the Mecklenburp
Springs Corporation at a cost, in.
Guiding furnishings, Of $500, 900,
AT the time of the fire. it was
owned by the estate of M. L. T.
Davis, Of Norfolk, and was leas.
ed and managed by w. 7. Hughes
who had conducted it for severaI
years. The owners carried only
S75, 900 insurance on the hotel
and equipment. Only about &c
guests were registered at the
hostelry at the time of the fire.
The structure, situated on an
eminence just outside of town
had two hundred guests cham
bers, all well furnished.
The flames were discovered by
guests on the lawn, who saw
smoke issuing from the slate roof,
and the alarm was given i'm
mediately, but the fire-fghting
facilities were wholly inadequate
to cope with the fire raging fierce
ly. All the guests escaped and
the most of them saved all their
personal belongings before the
fire reached the lower floors of
the structure, but much of the
furniture in the upper rooms
was thrown from windows and
destroyed or battered. The en-
ployes and guests Of the hotel,
supplemented by the fire depart
ment Of the Town of Chase City,
strove in vain to stay the pro-
gress Of the fire, but the building
burned like tinder.
The Mecklenburg had been q
health and pleasure resort for a
decade and many from all over
the country sought it because Of
the medicinal qualities Of the
mineral waters.

CITY POLITICAL SITUATION
Only One Ticket Out al this Writing, and
this Not Complete.

City politics seem to remain
rather cold for the election to be
only a little over two weeksIoff.
The mass meeting Of the dele
gates elected by the ward meet
ings has not held and the talk of
a general mass meeting when an
entire new ticket will be put out,
is not regarded in a serious vein.
although the result of such a
meeting, If called, will be watch
ed with interest.
Candidates for city aldermen
and police and fire commission
have been talked of considerably,
and many persons have been
mentioned for the positions be-
sides those named at the ward
meetings.
The friends of cur neighbor,
Mr.. j. A. Robinson, have been
acting during the past few days
in his behalf for the position Of
police and fire commissioner, and
while it is not said whether he
will enter the race, he would
make a good man for the posi-.
ton.
Other candidates and their
friends: have been active and
while there is no public demon
stration made, there is right
much private talk about the is
sues, and what will be the out
come of the approaching elec-
ton.
A petition is being circulated
TO issue a call for a mass meet
ing for the purpose of nominal.
ing a ticket in opposition to the
ticket named In the ward meet.
ings. Just what strength it will
develop remains to be soon.
