"Watch NIGHT"

Watching the old year die and the
new year come in to take its place is
an old and worldwide custom. In pa
gan lands there used to be solemn
fasts and auguries of blood, by which
they sought to read the future. The
Catholic church holds high mass just
at the hour of midnight, and the Greek
church has similar observances. In
pioneer days, when our own country
was young at heart and full of faith,
there was the sacred and never TO be
forgotten watch night, the last night
of the old year. Then it was that the
people met for prayer and praise, and
at the solemn hour of midnight, Just
when the old year vanished and the
New Year came before them. then did
they shake hands in loving friendship,
beg forgiveness for unkind feelings or
deeds of the past and promise amends
for the future, consecrating all by mu-
tual resolutions, by good thoughts and
hope and faith. This old time watch
festival was most solemn, beautiful and
impressive and is still observed in many
places.

Irma gave him her card, and he
scribbled his name there. Then he
gave her into the hands of another
partner and went away to moon by
himself in the conservatory.
He was dissatisfied with himself.
The year was ended, and he was as
deeply in love with Irma as ever. Yet
he dared not believe that she cared for
him.
So long did he sit there that he quite
forgot the flying moments until Irma
herself came into the conservatory
alone.

HISTORIC NEW YEAR BELL.
Announcer Of American independence
Used to Hail Coming of Day.

Every New Years eve citizens of
Philadelphia gather round the shrine
of Liberty, Independence hall, to hear
the New Year rung in. Formerly this
service was performed by the bell now
known as the9Liberty bell.
Before that memorable day in 177G
when the nations fathers gave forth
pendence, whose signing was heralded
by the ringing of the bell, New Years
rejoicing was started by the first peal
of what Is known as the Liberty bell.
After the events of July 4, 1776,
made the bell one of the most price
Independence hall restricted its use,
fearing some mishap. and after 1890
the bell was no longer used for the
New Years salute. In 1882 on the Gel
ebration of George WashingtOn's birth
day 1t was rung and not again for
three years, when on July 9, 1885,
while the funeral procession of Chief
Justice Marshall was passing. the bell
was t0lled.
Suddenly the notes grew discordant.
An investigation was made. 1t was
found that crack had been started
The bell had completed its task. No
more would it greet the New Year or
pay tribute to the nations great But
from the tower of Liberty's cradle an
other bell aIways welcomes the COM
ing of a New Year.

tee room was crowded. The Ro-
man Catholics have been moving
Heaven and Earth to have the
Menace" Of Aurora, Mo-, and
other anti-catholic papers denied
the use Of the mails, and they have
made the life OF the Postmaster
General burden with their protests
and petitions. He has told them
that he has no power to excludeany
paper from the mails. So now they
want to pass a bill through Congress
to give him that power. and the
abuse utilization they will heap
upon him, if he is given that po-
wer, and fails toexclude the Menace
from the mails, viii be enough to
drive him crazy. The Menace
and other anti-catholic papers are
not attacking the Catholic Reli-
gion,. but it is attacking the Ca
tholic Political Party, and any
party is going to be attacked when
Il becomes active in politics, and
when it moves and works in seer
ecy' as the Catholic party OF this
country does. and il deserves to be
attacked.

People who are in hurry to
abolish city courts should cast
glance toward Worth and Colquitt
counties, Both have quarterly terms
of Superior Courtof two weeks each.
Worth has just finished a 2-weeks'
term and is to hold All adjourned
term Fe5. 22nd. The regular term
comes again in April. Colquitt
finished q 2-weeks term last week
and is to hold an adjourned term
March /. Everyone familiar with
court procedure will admit that
cases can be tried cheaper in a City
or County Court than in a Superior
Court but those who favor abolish
ing the inferior courts argue that
the frequency of their terms, toget-
her with the multiplicity Of courts,
begets litigation and thatNif we did
not have so many courts we would
not have so many demands on the
time Of our people for jury and kin
bred service. Counties that are
having from 3 to 4 weeks Of Super
ior Court in less than 2 months
time do not present a very inviting
prospect for those counties having
City or County Courts to make q
change. Triton Gazette.
