The Old Year It Rung Out- Tbe
New One Rung In and
All la Welt.
NEW COMER IS WELCOMED
With Blowing of Whlstlea and Ring
ing of Bells, Lusty Young
ster Is Received.
No more will be write it lOli, that
is unless we forget. At twelve o'clock
last night the old vear drew its last
breath 'and glided into the past while
the New Year was ushered in with
much noise at least ,if not with pomp
and ceremony, all over the world.
In New Bern the occasion was mark
ed by the blowing of whistles, the ring
ing of bells and the roar of fireworks.
Pie weather was very inclement and
although many persons sat up to we!
come the new year, there were very
few seen on the streets down in the
business section of the city. Regard
less of this, however, there was enough
noise to make the occasion one worthy
of mention and it can tridv be said ll.at
l') 5 net a royal "-"Ironic in this city.
At live minutes ltfore midnight a
cannon cracker boomed from in front
of the Flks' Temple. In t moment
another one was fired. Presently sky
rockets began to cleave the air from
the vicinity of McSorley's More near
the corner of South Front ajid Middle
streets. At one minute to twelve, ac
cording to the postoffice clock, a church
bell, from the sound that of one of the
coloied churches in the northwestern
part of the city, began to ring.
At the tap of twelve the deep holes
of the ice factory whistle sounded, fol
lowed quickly by the whistle of the oil
mill and various sawimlN In a few
minutes the saw mill whistles in James
City as if having just realized that it
was time to usher in the New Year
struck up. The fire bell chimed in, a
lire( wagon rattled down the street
sounding its gong sharply, the twelve
ten train from the West swung info the
yards its engine whistle pulled wide
open.
By this lime thBMne,w year was fully
twelve minutes old and it is understood
that it has no fault to t.nd with the
way in which Ne Bern sat up and took
noii.ce of its birth.
The weather being very bad and the
indications being thit there would be
an exceedinly slim crowd present, the
watch night service at the First Baptist
church was called off.

NO DULL MONTH EXPERIENCED

Paved Building Opera
tions Ixtensive.
Everyone .with eyes cunsee what
wonderful growth New Bern has made
during this year; of 191., for it has
certainly been a good year for the
City of Elms." The cotton crop has
not been a record breaker by any means
but every crop can't be big. That
would be too much to expect,' New
Bern has been a ready money town,
has had no dull months all the year
and is can certainly smile with satis-
fai'ion when it thinks of the record it
has made ihiring this twelve months.
The year has seen the building of
the nt street ear-line and the opera
lion of the tars, t hit, being vviihoul any
doubt one of the greatest events of the
vear. Streets have been paved and
ml. ling operations have never been
more extensive. lii.lli dwellings and
business houses have been constructed
and the entire appearance of the city
has been changed. A number of manu
facturing plants have also been built
and are now in operation.
It goes without saying that there
will be no diminution but rather an
increase, in the number ol buildings.
built or begun in 1913. Any of the
local architects will give information
which will show that there is to be a
high record in this particular line, as
the demand for dwellings is great. The
.growth in population has been. rapid,
for a scucessful town attracts. New
Bern is known as a "live town" and
nothing more need be said about any
place.
The close of next year will probably
see the Atlantic Coast Line Railway
Company entering the city fiom the
Norlh. This matter is now being agi
tated and the railway people think
very favorably of the project. At pre
sent the railway facilities are good but
with this addition they will be unex
celled. Altogether it will be seen that there
has been something doing in New Bern
during lQli and t h re will be more
activity during PJ13. There are peo
ple who have plans which they have
not yet made peblic, and architects
are 'working aw;. on various and
sundry things. Nrv Bern has money
and has faith in ii-e!f. The New Bern
of this Christmas is a vast improvement
over the New Bern of a year ago, but
if you live keep your eyes on the twelve
month just ahead and watch things
move.
