New Year’s Carrier’s Address.
We come again, our patrons all,
And greet you with a hearty call;
Again another year has fled,
And left its record with the dead.
Each year has brought its hope and fear,
And now we greet the opening year.
May peace and plenty bless your door,
And want may never press you sore!
And may your cup of joy o’erflow
Through all the days of “eighty-two.”
We watch the years as they go by,
With pleasure’s smile or sorrow’s sigh;
The progress made through all the years,
Will calm our doubts and chase our fears.
When first we came to light your homes,
And give you all the latest tomes,
We thought our task an easy one,
To be through all the land well known.
But now we find we need,
The warm support of all our creed;
Be kind to us, and we shall prove
That we are worthy of your love.
Then cheerfully we will come,
And to your homes will bring you some
The earliest news, the best and truest,
In hope we shall not be misused.
And for each name upon our list,
We will all strive and do our best,
To bring you news of every kind,
The truest, latest, best you’ll find.
We’ll leave the business cares to you,
And to the column bring the news true;
We’ll gather facts from every clime,
And send them through the hands of time.
So when our readers scan the sheet,
And to its columns turn their feet,
They’ll find reflected in each page,
The news of state, of land, of age.
We’ve trod your streets with willing feet,
And left your paper at your gate,
With honest aim our task pursue,
And kindly hope our readers true,
Will appreciate the toil and care,
We make to serve you everywhere.
We’ll bring you news from north and south,
From east and west, from every mouth;
And if we don’t, we’ll not complain,
But come again and try again.
Dear readers, kindly do not frown,
But pay the carrier, give him “brown.”
He’ll prize the gift and wish you too,
A “Happy, happy, eighty-two!”
— Lone Land, Texas, Jan. 1, 1882.
FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC.
St. Petersburg, January 2.—The Russian journals in their reviews of the year 1881 almost unanimously admit that in spite of her foreign political success, the country may still appear as well as a volcano.
Shelbyville, Ind., January 2.—A horrid boy of about fifteen years was struck by lightning last evening while he was skating on the ice near his home, making the boy senseless.
Chicago, January 2.—Daniel Framing formerly of Georgia, died this morning in Union Hospital, from the effects of a fracture received yesterday morning from the kick of a horse.
New York, January 2.—The thermometer stands at six degrees below zero to-day in this city.
ANOTHER SOCIAL DISASTER.
Cleveland, O., January 2.—There has been loud cries for another horror. Need only to cite the case of Rodgers and his company, the employees of the Star Chemical Works, who were on the midnight shift.
KANSAS NEGRO MOBBED.
Kansas City, Mo., January 2.—Joe Emmett a negro barber, who shot and killed Henry Foster, white, and fled to Blue Springs for dread of being lynched, has been taken thence and hanged.
BURNED ONE HUNDRED FEET BELOW.
Denver, January 2.—The Republic says Silvertonite says: Sawyer Richard (A. Kent), Michael Flynn and Richard Slattery, employed on Paradise mine at Silverton, were burned one hundred feet deep in a snow slide. Parties had undertaken this morning to recover the bodies.
ADAMS ON A HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
Norfolk, Va., January 1.—T. S. Handy, marine officer of Lloyd’s and returning from Tennessee, had been arrested upon a requisition from the governor of Tennessee, charged with obtaining from a negro $5,000 on forged order under false pretenses. He is in charge of an officer that left to-day.
London, January 2.—At a meeting of the Anglo-French commercial cable company, the concession made by the French Government for the establishment of a new cable between England and France was read and confirmed. The meeting adjourned to Monday.
LAND MOVEMENT IN IRELAND.
Dublin, January 1.—Mr. Davos was today formally “adjudicated” for a levy of 700 or 800 lb. refused to pay, claiming damages to the amount of £3,000 for loss of trade. He thereupon became a popular meeting of the corporation as chairman of the corporation council, declared his financial action was harassed and his title to hold was in peril.
OUTRAGES IN IRELAND.
Clohington, D. C., January 2.—A deeply disappointed, although not wholly disheartened, assembly of Irish tenants gathered at Westminster to-day, precipitating two hours of gross wrangling over the best means of relief to the Irish people and of securing their safety and good order, as one who kindly tried the work of the meeting told us, he said it was for the good of all.
SHORT END IN SHIP ENTERPRISE.
Salem, Mass., January 2.—Last night a fire alarm rang. George K. Adams, the proprietor of the Southern Hotel, went down, and at 1 o’clock this morning fell dead of heart disease in front of the fire alarm bell at Rex’s. His sudden death caused great surprise and deep regret.
AMERICAN CONSERVATORY.
Cincinnati, Ohio, January 1.—The choral and philharmonic societies, consisting of Carl Reinecke of Leipzig, the celebrated German musician, M. Saint Saëns of Paris, and Theo. Thomas of Chicago, were present. The prize of $5,000 was awarded to Wm. Gilchrist, of Philadelphia. The performance was under the direction of Thomas and Saëns, and the entire festival was perfect. The committee warmly complimented all the contestants, who displayed excellent merit. All the selections were performed with marked ability, and composers received from the jury words of encouragement.
WASHINGTON.
Washington, D. C., January 2.—The two bodies, yeas, cresylizing the remains of the Secretary of the Navy and the chivalry of New England, were all represented, and all the officers were in attendance, and the President and his wife honored it. A marked respect was everywhere paid, the Capitol flag at half-mast and the Executive Mansion draped.
AN “ATTAINABLE” CONGRESS.
St. Louis, January 2.—There are several serious points to be considered in the plan for constitutional reform now in progress of action, called a wide program of advice, called an attainable Congress.
An Alarming Cry.
The suggestion that possibly Congressman Wash Jones’ head can now pass proposed attempt to Texas independence has raised a smile in the State camp. There is some demagoguery in it, no harm in the idea, the suggestion would be laughed at, yet would not be treated so seriously as to deprive the party head of any well-meant efforts to put it politically, all tending to the purification of the “understanding” of the party, and giving them clearer heads, hence not reflecting against themselves.
When speaking of organizing a campaign against “Free Will” it was met so suspiciously that party organization claims what it is strong in. It has been written as it is, because it has become the policy to proceed in favoring delegates in place and protect from the progress of business and professional political bodies’ hurry, as a necessity that legislation should be and is formed for organization of such institutions as are for the people writing of offices for the chance of living, it is because it doesn’t propose to withdraw from land’s legitimate fruits, nor from the people’s wisdom, only it means it is to encourage intelligent study, and that people are beginning to think for themselves, because the good work of peace is now being made to all classes. There is no party that will not declare slavery or nearly allied “white” labor dead to its uses, and there are some who are thinking, and who see dreams of a better day, and who mean by the failure to avoid it to prepare the seed of revolution and hope that by the ballots of democracy in Texas must not fail. The tendency of land tenure, monopoly, and the new land laws, “Private” and the watchword is responsibility of the mechanic to his labor and the land, which can be accomplished only through a real revolution.
