ADVENT or THE NEW YEAR.

: While the cold was intense, and
with every indication of snow, there
was JOY in the air last night as tie
year 1917 passed away and 1918 was
brought TO its birth. While there were
BY no means as many people on the
streets as is usual OH the first
night there vas what might be
termed quorum Of Alexandrians
who watched the old year out and
witnessed the arrival OF tie new.
While bells rang. whistles shriekcd
and tin horns sent forth blasts. there
were comparatively few explosions,
and these we're generally caused by
small boys who would look upon ne%
years night as Hamlet without HAM
let were they not allowed TO discharge
saluting pistols Or firecrackers.
The watsh meetings were weil-at-
tended. and many private parties
were held in different sections OF Tie
city,
Sd Speaking Of the propensity upon
the part Of some to cause explosions
on New Years night reminds us Oh

\ Chinese New Year is celebrated dur

supposed lightning had struck III the
raighbcrhcod, or that an earthquake
was about to destroy tie city. The
police soon took the celestial II
charGe and arraigned him before the

lowed too closely in the wake Of
Ground Hog Day (Februarv 27). and
that in. future he must celebrate III
some other way.
