HAIL TO THE NEW

HALL hail to thee o virgin yeari
Not yet days length on thy throne
Thou with the merry eyes and clear
And joyous voice of dulcet tone:
Hail hail to thee, thou strong of limb;
Our praise is thine, o youthful king,
For thou art pure of woe and sin,
Thy young hands yet but blessings bring
The monarch who is laid away
Within the catacomb of years
Was harsh and ruthless in his day
Seemed less to love our joys than tears;
We look for blessings manifold,
New Year, from thy pure sinless hand,
We trust thy heart will ne'er grow cold
Toward us-and our Native Land.
Bring healing to the hearts now sore
From wounds the cruel Old Year made;
The veil of peacefulness draw DER
The woes at each heart-threshold laid:
We cannot love tyrant king!
Our hearts refuse to loyal be
To one who takes delight to fling
Upon our hearts keen miseryi
Be kind to us-that we may say,
When comes the time for thee to go;

Because we all have loved thee sor

Hail and Farewell
FAREWELL TOTHE OLD

Old Year. thy life is well-nigh spent,
Thy feet are tottering and slow,
Thy hoary head with age is bent,
The time is here for thee to go;
Already in the frozen snow
A lonely grave is made for thee;
The winds are chanting dirges low.
Upon the land and on the sea.
Old Year. thou vert friend to some
To some thou vert of worth untold,
Thy days were blessings, every one,
More precious far than shining gold;
But unto others, thou foe
Did prove thyself-an enemy,
Relentless as the chains Of woe
As ruthless as the maddened sea.
Some will rejoice to know thee dead,
Others will mourn thee as friend;
Some will look back on thee with dread,
Others their praises to thee lend:
neither offer praise nor blame,
Old Year, for what you brought to me,
For unto me both Joy and pain
Your active hands gave lavishly.
Thy solemn death-hour draws a-nigh-
And harki / hear thy funeral knell
Slow pealing through the darkened sky
Farewell. Old Year-farewell. FAREWELL

Dear Sir
You say the Municipal Committee
is responsible for the impending loss of
our electric light system. May it be
asked whether electricity is Of more IN
portance than food? We have a Food Com
mission, and it may as we'll neVe: have
existed For all the control it exercises on
prices of foodStuffs which are sold con
~tinually above the lawful prices, concern
which complaints have been made over
and over and over with no result. In the
public print dealers admit they are SELL
ing over the lawful prices and still that
useful? body, the Food Commission, IS
not heard from either to furnishing the
guilty ones or fixing prices to suit, Is
this community being made a laughing
st0uk Of, or what is it? Now we are to
lose our electric light because the mum
cIpai committee, a body In which Fred
eriksted is more largely represented than
Christiansted, so decides. Can't the
public spend its money as it wishes, and
if the public is willing to pay the price
asked for electricity why should 1t be
deprived Of that right and privilege!
After all, electricity is a luxury for 1t is
used mainly by those who can afford 1t;
here is no case of protecting the poor
nan who is left to shit for hlmSelf with
regard to his daily food. If the munich
pal committee considers that the public
money spent III installing lights in the
different public institutions should be
wasted rather than pay the increased
price of current asked, then it has the
right perhaps to ordain resumption of use
of lamps or hurricane lanterns in those
places, but the public has the right to
maintain what it can pay for, and it is
certain that in this question of whether
the public will pay 40 cents a kilowatt hour
for current or lose the electric lighting sys-
tenn, the higher price will be favored.
Of course Frederiksted is delighted that
we are to be like that old dingy hole after
the LIST of August. But We'll see to that
Thanking you II space

WILL RESTORE
 NEW SALEM

r Springfield, H., Nov. 29-Restora- ton of the village of New Salem, where Abraham Lincoln worked as grocery clerk. fell in love with Ann Rutledge, carried the Dostoffice in his hat and whipped the champion of the "Clary's Grove Boys,' will be com pleted by next spring and with the addition of the Old Salem museum, will be thrown open as the Old Salem State ark, according to announce ment~ of State Architect Edgar Mar tin.
 Log huts as they were in Lincolns day have been rebuilt. Their loca- tion and arrangement is exact. Foun- dations were found undisturbed ex- cept by the wear of time, and the houses reconstructed over them. At mosphere of 1881 and 1887 in so far as possible is re-embodied. The store where Lincoln was clerk, the mill on Sangamon river and all other structures of New Salem" so rich in memories of the great American have been completely restored and lack only the finishing touches.
 Beside reproducing the actual v1l- haze, the state has added a large frame house of the better class in Lincoln's day. which will serve as a State Museum to house Lincoln relics This house is modelled after a fine old residence in St. Genevieve. Mo, which village MT. Martin said is as town lifted bodily out of the last century The architecture is of the best of Linco1n'S day.
 Contracts for the wiring. heating and plumbing of the museum have just been let.
 In restoring New Salem the de- partment was forced to follow the same tactics used in restoration of more ancient cities. New Salem dwindled rapidly after Lincoln moved away, and shortly after 1887 was en- tireIy deserted. When the last gen. eral assembly authorized the creation of the OGd Salem State ark, only the weafher-beaten foundations could be found.
 The 62 acres of the restored village and state park are 23 miles north west of Springfield, in Menard county.
