is old FESTIVAL
New Year Celebrations and OBJ
SerVanCeS Are of moSt
Obscure Origin.

- YER since some forgotten
savage astrologer came to a
80 rough conclusion regarding the
length and nature of the di.
vision of time we call "a year" the
passing of one twelve-month period
and the coming Of another has been
the occasion for celebrations, prayers
and the observance of countless
strange customs. Every race, no mat
ter how crude and inaccurate its meth
cd of calculation, has had a year Of
sorts ana has made its passing an
event in the life Of the people.
The big dinners held in every hotel
and many homes on New Years eve
are symbolic, though the diners hardly
pause to wonder what is the reality
behind the symbolism, recently OBJ
served a writer in the Boston Globe
The ringing Of the bells, the watch
services in churches and houses, the
gifts-are all relics OF customs so old
that there is perhaps. no man who can
say with certainty Just how or why
they came into existence.
Probably Oldest Festival.
For the New Years festival IS as
much older than the Christian holiday
which precedes 1t as the Unborn human
instinct to worship something is older
than the religion of the Carpenter Of
Nazareth Christianity has merely
adopted the New Years festival
The ancient Romans made Of It
general holiday, with sacrifices to
Janus Of the Two-Faces, and gifts and
visits. The gift custom seems to be
universal and IS observed to some ex-
tent today.
The old Persians had a custom
which would have been much appreci-
ated just now They gave their friends
eggs. Presumably, for the custom was
widespread among all classes, the
price of those was much lower In an
cient Iran than in modern America.
In France the custom Of New Years
gifts has survived longer than In any
other European nation. The druids Of
Britain presented their friends with
branches Of sacred mistlet0e.
Frowne,s On at First.
The early Christian church rather
frowrad on New Years Observances,
probably because Of the ancient Rom
an rites connected with It and with
the saturnalia which preceded It. It's
first mention as a feast in Christian
literature is in Canon II Of council
which met in Tours in 587. Later II
became a recognized festival in the
Catholic and Episcopal churches.
In England and Scotland the festival
has been Observed 10 an extect eGusled
in few other countries. II was called
"Hognanay' in Scotland and was the
great national holiday. 1t was for
rnerly attended by celebration which
an old writer says "bears in the IL
cense and boisterous merrlment

ancient pagan namesake. The epitnet

TENDER 10. 1864, at lakewood, a
mile northeast OF Winchester. where
Sheridan's largely superior force sue

The fighting began in the afternooh

succeeded in driving Early UP the

/ 1t was the "sarthest North" ever

RICHMOND'S SHARE
IN TIDEWATER TRADE
virginia Citizen),

From time to time in The past there
has sprung up on the part of business
organizations in Richmond an in
terest in the opportunities of enlarged
business relations between the Tide
water sections of the state and that
city. The Richmond Virginian edi-
torially refers TO the question In its
issue Of the 9Th, under the heading
"Rtchmond's trade with Tidewater Vir-
ginia.' and expresses its pleasure that
the Cham Der of Commerce had the Ro-
tary club had begun TO display in
terest in-~fhe trade relations between
Richm ond and Tidewater Virginia
Being residents of one Of the most
important sections of Tidsw alter Viz
ginia, northern neck section. we sin
cerely reciprocats the interest and
pleasure expressed by our valued con-
temporary in this renewed effort for
closer relations between these natu-
rally highly favored sections and our
capital city.
To our minds, however, the investi-
CATION planned by the organizations
named will work out only one con-
clusion, and that will be that these
great and undeveloped opportunities
for Richmond must lie dormant until
a convenient and well esta blished
method of transportation for passen-
gers and freight is in existence, so as
to be in reasonable touch with us,
And we Furthermore are frank in the
belief that the burden of ever estab-
fishing such transpor tation facilities
must naturally fall on Richmond, for
the reason that. in our Judgment.
while such facilities would be of Won
derful advantage to our section and
would meet with active cooperation
of our citizens, Richmond. when she
~ "a "a ~ E.
better than she now does what this
section stands for and possesses. will
find that she really has more to gain
materially in having such closer busi-
ness, relations than has this section;
because with a quick and convenient
method Of travel and transportation
although Richmond might not afford
any cheaper market for the purchas-
ing of goods or any better market for
the sailing Of. oar water spd land
products than the ones ArtOr north
with which this section almost .esstara@
~ deals, still the quicker facilities
for travel and freight would unaues
tionabty win for that city a vast pa
tronage from this section In the mil
lions of dollars spent annually for ar
ticles of consumption and use.
And from the fact that all channels
of navigation for vessels from our
rivers bear towards Baltimore or Nor
folk in much closer relation than to-
wards Richmond. there is only one
way for Richmond ever 10 control the
vast business demands of this section
and that is by getting in touch with
un through methods OF transportation
us through methods of transportation
on which we now depend for our com
merce. But we trust such n day is
dawning in the efforts of the organ
i2ationS named.
