New Year Parts

‘The New Year was given a
rousing reception in New Hazel-
ton at a most enjoyable social
held on Monday evening in Mar-
shall. Hall. While the weather
was very cold, it did not prevent
a good attendance, and those who
were present were well rewarded
for their courage. For the most
part dancing was indulged in, to
music provided by the Spooner
Brothers. At midnight the New
Year was ushered in amid a bar-
rage of shots and a bedlam of
shouts, following which ‘Auld
Lang Svne” was sung by all.
The crowd was then hungry
enough to do full justice to the
refreshments provided. by the
ladies, and then carried on the.
festivities until a very early hour.

warmer than the corresponding

-

teen during the latter. The
highest temperature recorded in
1923 was 89 on June 6, and’ the
lowest mark was reached on Jan-
uary 19, when the thermometer
registered 23 below zero, Pre
cipitation during the vear amount-
ed to 88.07 inches of snow and
18.34 inches of rain. The wettest

‘an otherwise perfect record by
ordering zero weather for the
