OCR THANKS TO YOU.
As we hand you the paper
this week we complete the 9th
year of its successful publica
tion. This success has been
due to the kind patronage of
our good old Forsyth county
people, and we here and now
extend to each and every one
of you our sincere thanks, and
trust the the coming y ;ar will
bring you peace, joy, happiness
an prosperity.
We will not print a paper
next week, but will clean up
our office and get ready for the
new years work.
The price of the News will
remain at 75c per year d’nng
the coming year. The way ev
erything else has advanced the
paper really ought to sell f *r
not less than SI.OO, but we are
doing our own work without go
ing to the expense of hiring an
operator and in this way can
hold the price dowm. Ths ,a
per for the nnext two months
will be a six column unless ad
vertising increases. The s. ze
will depend on the advert 1 .ing
patronage at all times.
We trust that the grim icap
er will stay His hand from the
good people of the county dur
ing the coming year, but if any
of you should reach the evening
of life, and its golden sun shall
kiss the western skies a sweet
good night, may He who met
the corpse as He entered the
gate into the little city of Nain,
stopped the bier, brought life
to the young ihd arid r<|' vrecl
him to his widowed ml .her;
guide you through the dal k val
ley of the shadow of death,
bear you safely over Jordan’s
foaming billow’s, and lead you,
my friends, through the streets
of gold into the Holy City, to
grow together forever in the
beauty of holiness in the garden
of the Lord.
Your Friend,
J. B. Patterson.
