If you are due the Winder News anything on sub
scription, it is still non too late to make us a Christ

pleasures of the holidays.
O
We extend our hearty thanks to those of our sub
scribers who have so kindly remembered us during
the past year by paying their subscription. May 1922
be a prosperous year to you.
O
We appreciate the patronage that has been ac
corded ns by the merchants and business men of
Winder during the past year. We feel that 1922
will be a better year for us all.
O
Bro. Rucker, over at Alpharetta, has cut our ac
quaintance and stopped the Fret' Press from perambu
lating over this way. Haven’t seen a copy lately. Are
you still cussing, George?
O
Watch the Advertisements
IF YOU want to shop to the best advantage watch
the advertisements. Mnny merchants put on spe
cial prices for only a itay or so, and to get the benefit
of these special prices you must read the advertise
ments. Muny dollars can be saved each year by doing
this. There are two more days until Christmas. If
you have any shopping to do during these two days
read over the ads in the News before buying. It will
pay you.
A Happy Christmas
THE NEWS wishes its many readers a happy Christ
mas. Let the past, with its many burdens and
disappointments, he buried, and let good cheer and
loving words hi* given out during the Christmas time.
Set out to make somebody else happy and happiness
will come to you, good measure, pressed down, shaken
together, running over. If you know of anyone In
distress, give them the helping hand and realize some
tiling of that divine joy that Christ came to give the
world.

will not b* as large as usual. Our correspon
dents arc requested not send in any letters next week,
but will expect them the first week in the New Year

Looking Ahead
THE Industrial Index, one of the best Industrial pa
pers published, and whose editor is a close observer,
predicts a much better year, for all lines of business
in 19*22 than wv have had during the past year. Read
the following encouraging words from this Journal:
“A year ago we approached the new year in a state
of doubt, uncertainty and demoralization. Business
was on the toboggan, and the end of the incline was
not yet in sight. Nobody knew what to expect of
the new year, but ver.vi few were optimistic. The* best
judgment was that it would lie some mouths* piobably
not irtitil the next crop cqfne in -before the business
depression would run its course and recovery would
begin.
Today, a year later, we face the future quite differ
ently. The worst is behind us, not in front of us.
“The bad year” is now history and recovery is sub
stantially in evidence. We know that 19*22 will be
marked by continued improvement, and not retro
gression, in the business world. Business has done
its petulance and now, with sobered brain and more
conservative thought, and with greater appreciation
of the eternal verities of the commercial world among
which truth, honor and Industry stand foremost is
preparing to travel the road to prosperity once more
by safe, sure stages; the atr-sliip route has been
abandoned, for. while swift anil spectacular, it is by
no -fncans safe.
In truth we do not approach the new year in a state
of jubilation for tlie experience of business this year
bus not been such ns to bring about supreme exal
tation of spirit; hut we do it with cleared brain,
with much better perspective, with gratitude for the
fact that tlie worst of the depression is over and with
confident belief that the business journey next year
will be constantly upward, even if the grade for the
first! few months of the year lie conservative.
Everything Has Its Price.
ONK of the laws of the universe is that everything
has its price. Our failure to realize the immutahilitv
of tills law brings disaster up on us. The short
sighted and ignorant think that when they steal or
rob or kill and escape human detection that they es
cape the vengeance of the law. Not so. If this were
a world in which wrong could he done and go unpun
ished, it would not be governed by a just and wise
God. The hairs of our head are numbered and not
a sparrow falls to the ground without God’s notice.
Not an act of love or mercy is ever done without its
reward, and not an act or injustice or wrong is ever
committed without punishment being meted out to
the wrongdoer.
The Athens Daily News, in discussing the get-away
of the criminal that stole a $2,500 diamond ring in
Atlanta recently and killed a detective and seriously
wounded another man. has sensed this divine law that
runs through the universe. It says:
“Having snuffl'd out a life for the pitiful sum of
$2,500, the Atlanta robber has seemingly made his
get-away. But today, he knows, as he never realized
before, that the brand of Cain is upon him. Today
he realizes with a realization that carries its own
punishment, that every man’s hand is against him.
Today, he lias already begun to learn what it is to be
a hunted criminal.
“Whether in some city attempting to hide his iden
t
ty among the thousands or in the solitude of some
country place, he is watching, watching, watching
for the grim visage of the Law. Tomorrow —the next
day—and throughout all of the tomorrows that
stretch out before him, it will be the same. Wherever
he goes—no matter how long he evades the avenging
baud that he knows will pursue him to the far hounds
of the seven seas—to the far reaches of the world's
most desolate stretches, even after his crime has been
forgotten—after officers of the law have quit his trail
for good and all, he will still be pursued by a still
ruthb'ss avenger.
“Fear will never again leave his side. Never will
he lie down to sleep without it for a companion
Never will he walk either the crowded thoroughfare
or the lonely trail without Fear as his companion.
Never will a hand, however friendly, be laid upon his
shoulder without Fear clutching his heart in an icy
%
grasps”
O
We have been expecting a Christinas present from
Bro. Townsend, of Dahlonega, that will be appropri
ate for the occasion, but as yet have not heard from
him. We hope he Is still sober and sitting steady in
the boat.
