The old year is drawing near
its close. With the setting of to-
dayTs sun the bright orb of dav
sinks behind the western hills to
shine no more on: the year 1894-
Ere it rises again Father Time will
have drawn deaths mantle close
abont the old year and laid it to
rest with the years othat were but
are no more,� and the glad New
Year will be ushered into exi3-
tence. We weep over the depart-
ure of the old, and in an instant
fling aside the tears to give p' ce
to rejoicings in welcoming the
new. Farewells are bid today;
welcomes to-morrow. oIwas ever
thus! The years speed by ou
flesting wing ead time is chang-
iag allthings. We give a partiug
glance at the old year, lingering
in fond remembrance upon its
joys and prosperities, striving to
forgetits trials and adversities,
and turn with hopeful expectation
to what the new year wiil bring
us. There are experiences in the
past from which we may ali profit,
and with the lessons learned from
these may we take coyrage for
the future, and press forward to
make each succeeding year the
best of our life. .

Some of our patrons haye hes
itated avout taking the DatLy
Reriecror so far because they
were already getting the weekly
edition and did not wish to take
both. Of course we do not ex-
pect them totake both editions,
but as most of the subscriptions
expire the first of January and
there were only three more weeks
between the time of starting the
daily and the close of the year,
the remaining three issues of the
weekly were delivered to all sub-
scribers.to complete the time paid
for. As thesesubscriptions have
now expired we expect them to
