new year at the vernal equinox March P, as the beginning of the year. This Is astronomically the beginning of spring and is really logical time to begin the new year. In England ChlfGtnas Day, December 25, was New YeSr's Day until William the Con- queror came. His coronation fell on January 1 and he ordered that that day be observed as New Years there
 after. In 1882 the pope promulgated the Gregorian calendar, and New Year. which medieval Europe there tofore had observed March 25, was finally fixed for the first day of Jan uary.
 The sole record of the observance of the New Year by the Pilgrims in the New World named New England was most prosaic, most brief-"we went to work betimes." Many of the good Puritan ministers thought the celebration of the day savored of i'm proper and unchristian reverence for the heatnen god Janus. Yet these English settlers came from 8 land where New Years Eve and New Years Day were second in importance and in domestic observance only to Christmas
 No English holiday was of mucf account that was not observed with flowing bowl. On New Years Eve the wassail bowl was nlled with spiced ale and drunk in families. and poorer folk tied . bowl with ribbons and begged for money for ale to flll and refill the bowl. singing:

might contribuate The necessary
expenditures will be made anyway.

ought not to assist her rich men to
escape their share of the taexs, this is
not a question of policy but of prin-

where wealth is so evenly distribut-

and no great wealth. There is no

Served Oh First Jury in Decatur
County.

Mr.. j. P. Hamilton, of Leon, en-
joys the distinction of having served
on the jury at the first term of court
ever held in Decatur county. In order
to reach Leon he had to walk ten
miles and waded through water part
of the time knee deep. There was
no court house here then and only
one case was tried to jury at that
term of court. Jonathan Waring
had some deer or elk, Mr.. Hamilton
has forgotten which, and they had
gotten away from him to the farm
of man named Parsons, who shot
them, claiming they DANCED his
crop. Waring brought suit against
Parsons for the value of the animals.
Mr.. Hamilton could not obtain board
and lodging in Leon and had to go
out to the farm north of Leon now
owned by George w. Baker, which
was occupied at that time by man
named Bradley. Mr.. Hamilton has
been Reporter reader ever since
the paper was first published and at
one time owned the press in the Of
flee, which he purchased from Grote
Udell, and afterwards sold it to Lon
H. Boydston, from whom the present
editor of The Reporter purchased
the Office twenty-five years ago.

Train Service Still Demo,alized.

The past week has been a hard
one on the railroads, the snow still
drifting quite badly and many trains
were stuck. The K. e w. suffered
the worst, getting only one train
over the road Thursday, none on Fri
day. one Saturday, late at night,
which went to Cainsville and back
to sDes Moines Sunday. Monday the
s1apn stra1n did not reach aaseoif until
1nearly1 O'Clock going through to
GAINESVILLE, and there was no noon
train Tuesday, the evening train
coming down however, and it is re-
ported that the road is now cleared
up and that trains will run regular.
Only one train from Des Moines
reached Mt. Ayr during the past
week. On the Charlton branch they
have managed to get on an average
of one train day over the road, but
several hours late, and not a single
day have they connected with the
fast mail at Charlton, which has been
late every day. 1t is reported that
over 60 broken rails on the main
line between Charlton and Ottumwa
were found last week.
