Did you notice last week how much lights helped our streets. How much better if we had the entire town lighted with electric lights and all could have good lights in their home Had our town had water works this year, more than likely enough would have been saved from fire to have paid the bill. The difference in amount paid fire insurance companies' this season would have helped. Why not pay the money for public conven fences instead of fire insurance com panics Many suggestions are being made now as to opportunities of the future But the one of most importance is the education and training of the children for usefulness and citizen ship. Now one can earn money from his labor because of the high prices but when conditions become normal skill and training will be worth more than labpr and now is the time to prepare. All learned what organize tion and co-operation would do in war work. It will do the same in your community. Make your school what it ought to be. Get together and see that the children in your community have a good chance as any on earth HOPEFUL LOCALS Mr. Berner Hartley and sister, Lizzie, have returned home after week’s visit with their aunt, Mrs. Thomas 'Stephens of Floyd county.

Attached hereto is' treasury depart ment circular No. 128—War Savings Certificate series 1919. - I In this you will please note that a new series of War Savings Certifi cates, known as the 1919 series, will be issued by the government on the same terms and conditions as the 1918 series, beginning with January at $4.12 and ending with December at $4.28, 'the same as 1918. The 1919 War Savings Stamp will be blue in color, and in that way distinguished jfroin the 1918 stamp. Be careful not to attach any of the 1919 stamps on the same certificate with the 1918 stamps, but start a new War 'Savings certificate for all Stamps bought in 1919. They bear the same rate of interest and mature in five years. They are redeemable when necessary, are sub ject to registration and tax exemption, and in all general respects are ex actly the same as the 1918 series. Thrift Stamps Thrift. Stamps for 1919 are identical with those of 1918. A Thrift card, partly filled out in 1918, can be com pleted in 1919 and exchanged for a War Savings Stamp. Be sure to art/ vise the people of this fact, so that if they have a Thrift card partly filled, they can buy Thrift Stamps to com plete the card and exchange it ex actly the same as though they hadl purchased the Thrift Stamps in 191s and exchanged them for a 1918 War Savings Stamp. Give this wide pub licity, so .that Thrift cards will, not be sold at a discount, or in fact, anything dohe except fill out Thrift cards and exchange them for/ War (Savings in 1919. Very truly yours, HUGH RICHARDSON, State Director, War Saviags Com. - I 1918, FAREWELL—WELCOME, 1919 The year 1918 has probably been the most momentous in your life and mine. It hag had the coldest day ever recorded by our weather bureau and the hottest day we have ever known. It has had the worst pestil ence in 125 years, since the yellow fever epidemic of 1793; and this, too, when a largo proportion of the doc tors and nurses were out of the coun : try. It has held days of fear when civilization seemed on the brink of the abyss. There have been many days of exultation and gratitude for our glorious Nation and our united peo ple. And there has come the crown ing glory of peace. For every one it has been a year of sweat and toil and worries. And yet, there has never been a time when these difficulties have been met with a greater fortitude. In a common toil and sacrifice we have grown nearer our country, our state, our neighbors and our families. This common im pulse of service, and this feeling of brotherhood, have raised us up and* whitened our souls. For the stricken households of the land our hearts go out in sympathy- and pride. Be assured the golden stars of service will not have, been placed in vain. The succeeding years, because of them, will be nobler, rich er, fuller, than the past. For all the many homes newly founded, for duty everywhere faithfully performed, 1918, we are thankful. Welcome, 1919. A REAL MAN. »>»»»»»««««««• LINE CREEK.

Let us all be on time. God wants us to be punctual about His business. Miss Nannie Lizzie Tate spent last Friday night with Miss Alma Brown. It is pretty hard to assert your independence and defy the world when you have an empty pocket book and no bank account. The prudent man who has sav ed a little, who has a reserve at the Bank to tide him over a month or more, isn’t so afraid of sickness, or such a coward about being out of a job. A bank account is a stimu lant to real manhood. The larger the account, the firmer the footing. It breeds self-confidence, is a proof of efficiency, and an ever present resource in time of need. It’s not what a man earns in a year that gives him a surplus, it’s what he saves. sx Don’t make the mistake of wait ing nntil you are old to start sav ing. Start today. We give care- * ful attention to all accounts, large or small. »»»»»»«<«<«««« BANK OF FAYETTEVILLE. Judge Davis’ docket Monday was one of the largest since he has been in office.
