FA YBTTE VTLLE NEWS. FA^WhTEVILLE. GEORGIA. Something to Think About By F. A. IDALKER H NEW YEAR GREETING By WILL M. MAUPIN #„» LOOKING BACKWARD T HE old year is drifting out to the unseen sen, where In a little while it will be lost, no more n part of our Joys and sorrows, nor a portion of our existence. Let us take a retrospective view of the days that have gone, consider how we have spent them, whether we have played our part wisely or foolishly, or whether we have moved ahead or lagged behind. As we stand upon the hill-top, or in the vale, what nre the thoughts that crowd In upon us? Do they bring us pleasure or regret; do they cheer the heart or depress it? We are disposed at the end of every twelfth-month to pause a while and reflect, to make new promises for our betterment, to seek a new star for our future guidance and to flatter our selves that whatever failings we made in our little journey were due to no laxity of ours, but to a stroke of Fate! We refuse to rub our velvety skin with coarse sand-paper for the very good reason that It hurts. Nor do we In looking backward like to rub our conscience, for that pains, too, and causes us to wince, when we would f Has Anyone Laughed * At You Because — sit In our easy chair and administer to our moral self a stupefying dose of chloroform that we may for the time being become Insensible to the smarts and aches, which otherwise might drive us to repentance. We lack the courage to stand up and face the music, or to look truth in the face, a prevailing form of cowardice frequently preferred by most of us to bravery. Event follows event agreeably or annoyingly when we awake to the realization that we have run through the vicissitudes, mutations and inno vations of another year, breaking as we proceeded on our way the laws of the Medes and Persinns, to say noth ing of the laws of our own. Whatever opinion we muy have re garding our conduct, we hide it with utmost care beside the skeleton in the family closet. Then with a sublime devotion to dpty, which sometimes lasts two whole days,, we take a peep backward, swear solemnly beneath our breath that we’ll be good, true and faithful, which we usually are until the next cog slips, and then away we go again, tripping along the primrose path, oblivious to everything but. our selfish content.

FOX BROTHERS’ TRICK TT WAS a long way around the pond A and a long way across, so which ever way lie went it meant a long walk for Mr. Fox, and he was in a hurry to get to the farm on the hill on the other side- of the pond. “If I could only slide across,” thought he, “and I could, for I have an old sled. If only I had some one to push me and give me a good start. Coming home I could take my time.” The more he thought the better It E^THEL R. PEYSER You are so easy to see through? If you are, you have been up against it a lot, because when you are easy to see through your very honesty and kindness are often taken the wrong way and your frankness is often as “acting” and people think you are queer! You need comfort. Keep on being easy to under stand ; it means pretty much your mind is clear, that you think straight, that your heart is in the right place. You will waste less time, too, as It is hard to be something you aren’t. SO Your Get-away here is: Let them “see through you" and don’t worry, and if they laugh be glad you can be amus ing! 4 (© by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) —« Sense By..—i i. JOHN BLAKE LEARN HOW TO FORGET i "DE ASSURED that you will some- ! times be wronged; often bated, f Unless you have far more luck than i most men, others will injure you, and ; iflespitefully use you. j The more successful you are, the j more you will suffer from the dislike ; and the envy of others, j But if you resent every injury and f-nurse every spite, you will have little time for anything else. ", Revenge may be sweet, but It is .too expensive to be indulged. The man who makes up his mind to "get even” with every one who lias harmed or insulted him maps out a difficult life for himself. Hatred is a passion which destroys the judgment as well as the soul. And Judgment is too difficult to acquire to be frittered away in fruitless brawls. Learn to forget injuries and griev ances. They will harm you but little if you dismiss them from your mind. If you cherish their memory and brood over them they will harm you even more than the enemy who inflicted them ever believed It possible to harm you. Give men no reason to injure you. Then, if they Insist upon doing so, de prive them of any satisfaction in the injury by not allowing It to trouble you. Peace of mind and serenity of spirit are worth a great deal in this world. Go about with a chip on your shoulder and before very long some one will knock it off. And your at tention will lie distracted from what ever you are doing by your effort to punish him for It. But when you are wantonly Insulted, or when your feelings are hurt re member that the person who offers the affront is not worth hating. Do not flatter him by nursing your wrath against him. Irritations disturb the smooth work ing of your brain and cut into your sleep. Forget them and you will be happier and better able to attend to your own job, which Is getting all out of your brain that was put there by its Creator.

Mr. Fox Had Met the Brothers. Little Fox seemed to him, and so Mr. Fox trot ted off to Mr. Coon’s house to ask him to push the sled. If Mr. Fox had not been unkind to little Reddy Fox and his brother Rey he would very likely have had a long slide across the pond and arrived early at the farm. But Mr. Fox had met the little Fox brothers one morning very early when they had been out hunting and taken from them a fat chicken which they were carrying home for breakfast, which was very wrong as well as un kind, because the strong should never take advantage of the weak. The little brother Foxes did not for get this, and when Mr. Fox called on Mr. Coon to ask his help the little Fox brothers happened to be passing and heard what he said. All the way home they were think ing what they could do to plague Mr. Fox and spoil his trip across the pond that night, and before it was time for Mr. Coon to be at the pine tree by the pond the Fox brothers had thought of a plan to pay Mr. Fox for taking their chicken. It was not a moonlight night, and so when Mr. Fox and Mr. Coon met they did not see af y one behind the tall bushes and. rock | by the fir tree. Mr.^Fox was le Jilng against the rock, with his back to the bushes, and wuen lie i'elt something on iiis back he looked around quickly,- but the wind was blowing, swaying the bushes and he thought that was what he felt, but it wasn’t; It was something far different. “Now, you understand, you are to place your paws against my back as 1 sit on the sled,” said Mr. Fox to Mr. Coon; “push hurd, and away I will go across the frozen pond, and when 1 come back I will give you a good breakfast to pay you for helping me.” Mr. Coon said he understood per fectly, and Mr. Fox took his seat on the sled. “Now, when I 1 say three,” said Mr. Fox, “run a step or two with your paws pushing on my back. One, two, three!" But instead of skimming across the pond on the sled, the sled went skim ming, and Mr. Fox sat on the ground, with Mr. Coon flat on his stomach be hind him, his paws still fast to Mr. Fox’s back. “What do you mean by pulling me off that sled?” asked ML Fox, very angry. “Let got of me! You are pull ing me over.” Mr. Coon tried to get up, but every time he moved he pulled Mr. Fox over backward, and soon they were scrambling and kicking like two jumpingjacks, while the- little Fox brothers, with a paw over their mouths, ran as fast as they could un til they were out of the hearing of Mr. Fox and Mr. Coon. Then they rolled over, laughing, on the ground at the funny sight they had left by the pond. “That glue was very clinging stuff,” Merchant Now Eats Anything on Table “By the help of Tanlac I have over come a case of nervous indigestion J had suffered from for ten or twelvi years,” is the emphatic statement of Norman W.

Originally It was given to the sons of the family, and Is, without doubt, derived from the Anglo-Saxon Adel- gis, of which the feminine form was Adelgisa. It means noble, in both its masculine and feminine forms. It is clear that Alice represents Adelgls and not Adelgisa, and that the proper feminine form would be Aliza. Some believe that Eliza, gen erally thought to be a derivative of Elizabeth, Is this missing form. For proof of Aliza as the representative of Adelgiza, the Liber Vitae of Dur ham records the changes In Adelgiza from the first noble lady of that name who laid her gifts upon the altar. By contraction it became by steps Ade- liza, Aaliza, and Aliza. Aallza is still given to daughters of noble families In Europe. Adaliz. Adliz and finally Alis, are other con tractions. Alicia is a derivation which represents an effort at euphony lacking in Alisa, but Alison is not so derived ns is popularly supposed, but has a completely different origin. Alioe is purely English with a slight Teutonic flavor, since another ex planation of its origin is that the name is derived from the feminine Adalbert or Adelchen, signifying “daughter” in Frankland. Alix or Alisa in Lombardy was naturalized In England when Alix la Belle married Henry I. Alexandrite is the talismanlc stone of Alice. It is found in the emerald mines of Russia and its splendid green, which changes pulsatingly to columbine red, makes it representa tive of the Russian national colors and therefore honored as a national stone. The Russians believe that It brings great fortune. It denotes hope and, when dreamed of, indicates much to look forward to. Monday is Alice’s lucky day and 7 her lucky number. Her flower Is the white hawthorae, which means hope. Alice has been traditionally sur rounded by all the virtues and sim plicity which man Is supposed to de sire In woman. Indeed, the name is poetically synonomous with “true blue.” It has been immortalized in the old song, “Ben Bolt”: Oh, do you remember Sweet Alice, Ben Bolt; Sweet Alice with hair bo brown; Who thrilled with delight when you gave her a smile, And trembled with fear at your frown ? • (© by the Wheeler Syndicate, Ino.) 0 The Friendly Path Girls!

Neither does a well-bred woman “call dow'n” her children before outsiders, or correct a servant any more than is necessary. If you have a complaint to make in a store or shop, do not make it in a conspicuous Way. The wise manager of employees does not berate them before outsiders. Sometimes, of course, the inconsider ate manager will seek to lay the blame for something for which his store man agement is to blame on a subordinate. He may help himself for the time be ing out of an embarrassing situation, but lie is surely laying up trouble for himself later on. Some young women really enjoy having little quarrels with the young men who are courting them, and some times they are Ill-bred enough to in dulge In such moods in an ostentatious way In public places. Thus the young woman who is annoyed, or who pre tends to be annoyed, puts her escort to great embarrassment by refusing to speak to him in a public conveyance. Or slie may wait until they are in their seats at the theater am} then mar her own and her escort’s enjoyment of the play by indulging in her quarrelsome mood. She may actually enjoy the embarrassment that he endures. Or she may wait until they are with their friends at a dance and then refuse to dance with him just for the satisfac tion of having others see how miser able she can make the poor man in question. There are girls who do this sort of tiling, but they are truly not well bred. The really well-bred wom an, if she must quarrel with the man who is devoted to lier, waits until they are alone.

Unless one, there fore, lias confidence in himself and is able to cause others to trust and be lieve in him as he deserves, he is not likely to make much headway and his pathway will in all probability, be hedged with thorny briars. Day after day, as he plods onward toward his uncertain goal, Ills life is likely to be disturbed and his happiness destroyed by the thorn pricks every time he halts to reflect on the best way to gain his desires. In the social world introductions are necessary. Those who push themselves iyto the midst of a formnl party unan nounced could expect nothing else but icy stares and an unpleasant depar ture through a rear door. But in the world of business, industry and finance introductions are not essential to suc cess. Those who bemoan their mis- fortunes in not being able to have some one, of high standing help shove them ahead are themselves their own worst handicaps. A vice president of the United States Chamber of Commerce, still actively managing a big manufacturing busi ness, though he is up in the eighties, recently declared that he didn’t con sider introductions of much value to those seeking business or Industrial success. He tells a story to illustrate his reason for confidence that big men trust others just as quickly without in troductions as with them, providing those seeking recognition believe In themselves and have the proper sort of personality. He declared that when banks in his own city were too small to extend to his business sufficient credit, he went to New York, without introduction and, by stating his situa tion frankly, obtained the line of credit he required for his shops. Greater frankness would lessen busi ness worries today. (© by the Wheeler Syndic*t*. too.) Old Standard Remedy for Chills and Malaria, goc for Coughs Colds COUGH?
