Happy New Year to all-—1go3 is here on schedule time, Old 1902 has gone the way of all years, never to return, but will carry a creditable epitaph upon its The achievements, and strides forward in the tombstone, advances, progress, year that closed yesterday, kept pace with the most noted of years of the past The its half century, in all these respects. grown and than religious world has cause is firmer, stronger ever, In art and science we have beheld new and great things that will for all time challenge the admiration of men. Free- dom is spreading her outstretched arms to the oppressed and smoothing down the iron yoke of tyranny in lands heretofore shackled by the despot. Intelligence is more widespread, dispelling darkness with marvelous strides over the habita. and its idola- le globe. Heathenism trous ways are being dispelled by the spread of the Truth as frostwork before the warming influences of the rising sun Monarchs have been led to do obeisance to the Goddess of Liberty, and it only remains for the lap of future years to gather in the harvest that “all men are created free and equal and endowed with certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of hap- piness.” New-born 1go3 will win laurels, great achievements that will equal, perhaps exceed, the great achievements of any year thatjhas passed.

Light will be univercal and as an X. ray to things still hidden. A Happy New Year, to every reader of THE CENTRE DEMOCRAT THE Pittsburg Post, one of the most re. liable and enterprising inland dailies, has added a new feature to its Sunday edi tion, it being some very fine art colored illustrations of a high order. The Post is always growing better, - Tug fellow who makes a great many New Year resolutions is the chap who seldom keeps any. Be good all the time, resolve each day to dc your best and you will live a nobler life. Swearing off on New Year and “turning a new leaf” seldom accomplishes anything worthy of mention ACCORDING to a little telegram a few days ago, the Methodists of the New York and the New York East confer. ences are chagrined because the figures of the Methodist Year Book show a loss of over 2,000 members within the territory covered by these conferences during the year, Tur Philadelphia Record Almanac, for 1903, is on our table. It comtaivs much useful information in compact and convenient form. Its election and other statistics are always in demand, and along with its other valuable tables of information, render it a handy book that will be consulted from January until December, by business men and other classes, Collar Bone Broken. On Thursday, 22uit., while Mary, the 13 year old daughter of Ammon Gram- | ley was entering the school house at Jacksonville, she was accidentally thrown against the door of the hall, sus. taining a severe fracture of her collar bone.

Fred High has pleased the Centre county in. stitute and the teachers have the most pleasant memory of his entertainment, Before the close of the session Prof. Rey- nolds was introduced and he to the audience his liquid air, WEDNESDAY EVENING. exhibited The Court House was completely filled to hear the lecture and the periments with liquid air. The lecture was at once interesting and instructive. By a series of successful experiments Prof. Reynolds showed some of the pro perties of this liquid which is the achiev ment of modern science. - THE MONROE DOCTRINE ACCEPTED. sce ex President Monroe, on Dec. 2, 1823, in a message to Congress, laid down these principles of American foreign policy: 1.
