The prospects are good for a great

The people of Atlanta want the Pres
byterian College. The Atlanta Journal
1s at the head of the movement to raise
a building fnnd of $250,000. The Jour
nal will raise the fnnd. It is the great
est newspaper In the Sonth.
Every merchant In Athens should be-
gin the New Year with an advertise
ment In The Banner. We pell for Ath
ens and the Interests here every day in
the year. The people read The Banner
and every merchant should place their
clalms before the people through these
columns.
The Savannah Board of Trade has
passed resolutions endorsing George B.
Cortelyon for Secretary of the depart
ment of Commerce, to be established
soon. He will get the place when it is
created and will give general satisfac
tion.
Another milestone in the journey of time has been passed. The old year
has given away to the new and with the dying of the old year many saw .
countless hopes and aspirations die, while with the advent of the new year
we will makp resolutions and root new hopes and new aspirations.
The year jnst ended has been a most remarkable one from many points of
view. W« have witnessed achievements during the past twelve months not
dreamed of in the year previous, and yet today we lannoh upon the begin
ning of a year whose opportunities are unlimited and whose possibilities reach
ont beyond anything before conceived by prophets or seers, and its end will
show results not dreamed of daring the year jn9t closed, which has been one
of progress and prosperity.
Glorious has been the privilege of those who have been permitted to live
through the year just closed. Great has been the responsibility to posterity
that has been imposed upon those who have made the records of the past year,
and right well have those privileges and responsibilities been met.. Daring
the past few years ont of chaos havt we evolved the marvelons diccoveries
and inventions of the age. These wo hand down to future generations, which
it is theirs to further develop and improve as it shall please Him who directs
all of our movements and achievements.
Great as have been onr privileges and great as have been our achieve
ments daring the past year, yet, far greater are the responsibilities resting
upon those who come after ns and with whom it rests to work ont the re
mainder of the results handed down to them, in trust, from those who have
gone before. Invention begets invention and discoveries only suggest that
which can be discovered. With the suggestions by invention and discovery,
that we who have assisted in making the records of the past year baud over
to those who will develop the coming year, fields are open to them that the
beginning of the past year never dreamed of, and those li "Ms will be developed
and improved as we scarcely dreamed of at the beginning of the past year.
The beginning of the year that closed with the tolling of the midnight
bell last night was scarcely less propitious than we find today. We thongbt
we were very far advanced in what it takes to make np civilization and ad
vancement at the beginning of the past year ; yet, the strides we have made
and the opportunities before ns lead ns to believe that far greater will be the
achievements and advancement at the close of the year that was ushered in
this morning.
The progress of civilization is ever onward and upward. Every succeed
ing generation builds upon the superstructure of those who have preceeded
them, so are the accomplishments of every succeeding year builded upon the
achievements of the year that has passed. And while we are wise in onr own
conceit, in the shadow of the old year there is every reason to believe that
Christendon will be as far ahead of us at the sunset of the new year as we
were ahead of the achievements of preceeding years at the beginning of the
old year.
The past year will go down in history as one of the most noted periods
that our people have witnessed in a decade. It has been one of the most re
markable years In the progress and civilization of the human race in the his
tory of tho world. Scientific research has unfolded new theories and discov
eries that throw light on old discoveries and old theories and leads scientists
to believe that there are great things iu store in the new year for the student
stronomer. Religions thonght has advanced beyond expectation during
“ —‘ with tho dawn of the new year, sheared of its many dogmas
_ ‘ e-- fcfr^ypTUbe
lowly > »m,lWfflronghtcL-je. 1 home to men, and that church ™'aentfl.
will be more universally and more strongly felt than ever before in the years
that have passed to return again no more forever. Art and education have
progressed hand in hand, and the beginning of the new year finds all the ed
ucational institutions of Athens and of the entire country with student
bodies the like of which have never before been witnessed. Most wonderful
products have been developed and handed down as heirlooms with the dawn
of the new year. In Commercial interests in Athenb and throughout the state
and the country generally, prosperity has abounded during the past year.
The old year dies leaving the most prosperous times in the history of the
United States. Iu foreign lands there are people depressed, and in some of
these the hand of war is clutching the throats of the people, bnt not so with
ns. Peace and plenty abound on every hand. The confidence of the Ameri
can people in their institutions and traditions is unbounded, and good feeling
and good cheer reign supreme.
The old year is dead. We have passed one more milestone, as it were, in
the journey to the grave. The new year brings new promises and new re
sponsibilities. Today the book of the past year with its doings is sealed and
the new book, in which each of n3 must record onr every act and deed for
eternity, has been opened.
It may be well for all of ns to hah at this period along life’s journey. We
should take onr bearings and see if we have been writing in the book of life
the character we would like to stand by at the great judgment bar, when the
seals will be broken and onr records held np for inspection by the great Judge
If onr lives have not been all they should be, all we wished—all that will be
pleasing In the sight of the Supreme Ruler—we will have a chance to begin
the new book aright today and ascribe therein a character that ghall have
nothing to fear before men and that can stand before the great God—the
Maker and Iinler of ns all.
This will be the last milestone many of ns will ever pass on the journey
of life. Those of ns who will not live to see the new year dawn after 1903
now have the opportunity, like the old year, of making our last mile the best.
With the close of yesterday the old book was sealed. With the dawn of
today the records will be made on new pages. Let ns begin with the begin
ning and carefully guard each day that not a page in the new book shall be
written with a blot or a stain, and let ns strive to so live during the present
year and every succeeding year that we are allowed to live, in such a way
that our lives may be approved of by all men, and if we do no more we shall
at least meet the approval of onr own consciences and onr own approbation
and be bnt a better and a happier people.
With these ideas in mind :
"Ring ont the old, ring in the new:
Ring ont the false, ring in the true.” *

URICSOL
CURES RHEUMATISM.
From far away Los Angeles, the land of
flowers, comes glad tidings. This is the
home of URICSOL. This remedy was
originated, after pains taking and long con
tinued research, by a druggist of forty-one
years experience. It pleasantly cures
Rheumatism, Sciatica, Lumbago and many
forms of Kidney, Liver and Bladder troub
les. caused by uric acid in the system. It is
unique, scientific and harmless. It builds
up and cures after all other known reme
dies have failed. It is the paragon—the
queen of all remedies to cure the diseases
for which it is recommended. There is
nothing else like it, and will prove of incal
culable value to suffering,humanity. A
strong capitalized company is behind it, and
it is destined to mark a new era in melic&l
science. Druggists sell it at $1.00 per bottle
or six bottles for$5.00i Enclose stamp for
particulars and book of wonderful cures.
