This is a busy age. The dreamer can
| find no sacred silence in which to hide
his fantasy. The thinker may double
| lock his study door, but the winds of
heaven will pilfer his thoughts from him
| through the window, and the birds of
the air will carry the matter; if they do
not the world concludes there is none to
carry. The believer, too, is tremulous
to the vibrations of the atmosphere.
His mysticism and quietism comes all
the harder. If he have faith he feels
that he must believe aloud. On every
hand the air is quick with clamorOus.
The advanced mind" shouts to the
scientist. The theolOgian thunders to
the infidel. The ecclesiastic menaces
the liberal Christian, The philosopher
sneers at each. And so in our progress
siYe way another year is passed. We
cannot sum up, and make it statistical.
We may say, however, it has been a
year of plenty to the people of Milton,
and we all rejoice in the reciprocity of
brotherhood that binds the people of
Milton together with that magic wand
of Eastern fable. The past year has
been a successful one in every depart
ment of business industry. There has
plenty of work, and good wages for all
who desired it, and the present outlook
is one of prosperity for the new year.
We, with all others, hope it may be a
year of greater blessedness and prosper
ity than the past one; and, indeed, the
present outlook would warrant the eX-
pectatiOn of the most sanguine. The
work that has been underway during the
past year is about completed. We may
say every thing is in a fiourishing con-
ditiOn. The health of the populace is
good; The schools reopened on Monday,
and it is expected to be a better school
this year than any of its predecessors.
The weather has been fine during the
winter, and what else can poor mortal
man expect or ask in this varying and
brief changing world. Let US hope that ,
all will have happy year. But the old |
year has been numbered with those that |
have gone, and its demise has only full |
filled our expectations. Weknew it was |
doomed. We are now on our road to the
millennium, if our prophets are right in |
their predictions. One more year, it is |
said, will usher in that momentous epoch. |
Well let it come we say. Beside this |
great event there are many discoveries |
and inventions that will most likely add !
impetus to science and be a benefit to
the coming ages. We expect Milton to
do something. We expect the present
State Legislature to make it possible for
the State to domuch by the cooperation
of its people. We expect to witness
needed changes made by this body of
solons. Soin the Congress of the United
States there is much to be done, and
much will doubtless be accomplished.
There are many good works of improve
ment now underway which will be COM
pleted during the year 1918. There are
a thousand other things that the present
year will witness which we cannot enum-
crate. Let US all hope that we may
good health and good strength, plenty
Of good things to eat, and live happy
and contented life during 1913.
