1t is we'll TO greet the New with
all its promises of good wishes and
the brightest Of antlcipatIons, ana
in that spirit we tender to our
friends the compliments of tn" sea-
son.
As We view the passing OF the Ola
we could not refrain from some eX-
preston of regret that many of our
friends are no more, but these abide
in memory and live again in our
presence, as we welcome the New

We should not live in the shad-

the New with all its Fluctuations,
and in anticipation of greater ac-
eomplishments and Of achievements
that will rebound to the welfare of
mankind. To the Old Year We are
indebted for bountiful crops, at re-
munerative prices, for good health
and for substantial prosperity, aud
as we welcome the New, let it be
with the hope that in the year 1913
we will fare as well as in the year
1912. which has on its record the
gratifying fact, in political sense,
that a man of honest fame and free
from self-reproach, man of the
Democratic faith, has been elected
to assume charge of the govern
men. of the United States as rep
resentative of all the people. If we
would profit in the future we may
be guided by the wholesome expe-
rience of the Old Year. and we
should welcome the New in the
spirit Of progress and of good cheer.
We should be inspired TO look for
ward TO the New Year with courage
and fortitude, and with that hope
which is ever a tower of strength
in the striving as an incentive to
the reaching of the best of pur-
poses.
Here then, through this medium,
we tender our most fervent good
wishes to our friends everywhere,
and while we bid farewell to the
Old Year, we welcome the New
