The farmers of Hancock county have been guar
anteed SSO a ton for peanuts.
O
Are you a better man or woman or citizen than
you were a year ago?
O
Goodbye 1921. You hit us hard, but we are not
down and out.
O
Welcome 1922. May your countenance shine upon
wm and make us to rejoice.
O
Everybody is saying that 1922 will he a much more
prosperous year than 1921. We are all willing.
O *
Hoping you had a Merry Christmas, here's wishing
7 ov a happy New Year. “May you live long and
prosper!
O
Pay up your debt* as far as you are able and start
the new year with a clear conscience and a hopeful
spirit.
O
In planning your farming operations this year, It
would be a good idea to have an eye to farming rather
than to cotton growing.
Scientists declare that either the earth is too slow
*r the moon is too fast. We had an idea that this old
earth of ours had been speeding up right smartly of
tote.
O
The five principal nations at the Washington con
ference spent last year for their armies and navies
$1(1,500.000,000. No wonder the old world is stagger
ing towards financial ruin.
O
Scientists have about reached the conclusion that
Darwin’s theory that man descended from a monkey
ui all wrong. They state now that they don’t know
where he came from. Scientists will come around
all right if we’U give them a little more time.
-O
Johnnie Spencer of the Macon Telegraph says that
it isn’t right to pardon tin* criminals out of the pen
itentiary so that they can compete with those on the
outside. It isn’t treating the outsiders right.
A)
Says the Dalton Citizen : “The state department of
agriculture has degenerated Into a political machine
of such magnitude that it must be broken up if the
department is ever to render any worth while ser
vkx* to the agricultural Interests of the state.’,’
O
Somehow we cannot think it a good idea to turn a
lot of criminals out of the penitentiary on Christmas
day. An Individual can be merciful when only his
own interests are at stake, but an official must be
just. Right often the public suffers on account of the
merciful proclivities of officials.
-O
Don't allow your subscription to the \\ inder News
to expire. We are going to work harder this year
to give our patrons a good readable paper than e\er
before. Take your county paper and keep up with
what is happening in the county.
O
An exchange says. “Don’t judge a man by his
clothes. God made one and the tailor made the oth
er. Don’t judge a man by the house he lives iu, for
the lizzard and rat often inhabit the grander struct
ure. When a man dies they who survive him ask what
property there is left behind; the angel who bends
over the dying man asks what good deeds he has
•rut before him.”
O
We, of the South, are not thankful enough for the
blessings that we have. Mr. Sam Gershou, a proud
neat Atlanta merchant, lias just returned from a trip
through Europe, and he says: "the people of the South
do not know that they are living in heaven. I do not
believe that in all Poland there is one room so com
fortable as the poorest room in the meanest shack
•f one of our negroes.” Instead of complaining, our
people ought to feel grateful that our blessings are
an many. Sit down ami count your blessings, “one
by one," and see If you don't feel ashamed of all the
grumbling you have dene.
“God Give Us Men.”
J. G. Holland wrote a splendid poem years ago with
the above caption. These lines are very appropriate
now and we hope our read -rs will note the splendid
sentiment expressed in them and that we will try to
plan our lives in accordance to the spirit of the poem.
‘God give us men. A time like this demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and willing
hands;
Men whom the lust of office d(*es not kill ;
Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy;
Men who possess opinions and a will;
Men who have honor; men who will not lie;
Men who can stand before a demagogue
And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking
Tall men. sun-crowned, who live above the fog
In public duty and in private thinking!”
O
Farming in Georgia
With an incomparable climate and a soil unex
celled anywhere it. is nonsense for the people of
Georgia to become pessimistic ns to future farm
ing operations. There is no state in the union that
holds greater possibilities for the hustling, thinking
farmer than Georgia. The trouble with us is that
we have worked on doing as others before us have
done without giving any thought to where we were
tending. The negro tenant has made out of our
people cotton growers instead of farmers. The cot
ton growing habit has become fixed upon us, and we
feel like we are ruined when nature interferes with
i. -V
our habits.
Li the long run we will be far better off because
of our shaking up. We will begin to think more and
to plan better and to farm In reality instead of grow
ing cotton. There Is no use talking that a man can't
prosper farming on such soil as we have here In Geor
gia, and under such climatic conditions as prevail in
our state.
We have got to adjust ourselves to changed condi
tions and the sooner the better.
O
Some New Year Thoughts
Another cycle of time has passed and we stand
upon the threshhold of anew year. The past year
has brought disappointments to some, sorrows to
others and vexing problems to many. None of us
are immune. Suffering, both physical and mental,
scorns to bo writ deep in the laws that govern our
world.
However, none of these things are able to utterly
overcome' us. Hope still lingers in the human heart
and It matters not how dark the present may be,
there is still a thought somewhere in our natures
that makes us expect better tilings.
Hence, though 1921 has been hard upon many of
us, we face the new year with hope and courage.
This spirit of rejuvenation planted in human nature
by our ('Ten tor, is what saves us front defeat and
despair. Without it, suicides would be common and
tin' plans and purposes of God would he thwarted.
The hungering soul still longing for better things and
more stable things rises front every defeat and every
conflict and fact's the future undaunted.
This is one of the splendid arguments for immortal
ity. While longing and working for stability and con
geniality in this life we never realize them, but we be
lieve, with John Burroughs, that sometimes, some
where, our own shall come to us.
I-ct us with courage, fact' the new year, solve its
problems with fidelity and to the best of our ability
and know that things will finally work out all right
—O
The Country Paper.
p ro f. Osmund Hopper, of the Ohio State University,
pays a great, compliment to the weekly county paper,
lie realizes its value to the community and speaks
out in meeting as to the support it ought to receive.
Here is what he says:
“There Ls uo agency so necessary to community
progress as the weekly or semi-weekly newspaper.
It is to the comuiuuity what the locomotive is to the
train. If the locomotive moves, the train moves; if
it is stationary, so is the train. Similiarly, a wide
awake, progressive newspaper makes a wide-awake,
progressive community ; and any reasonable program
of achievement that it sets and wisely works for in
the Interest of all people, can be realized. But tlie
newspaper cannot achieve single-handed. It must
have help, unstinted help of all the good people of
the community. It can have no steam if there is
no fire, and there can be no fire without fuel. It
needs the fuel of subscriptions.
"Every suhseription helps to make circulation and
circulation helps to make a business instead of char
ity. Both together make prosperity, and prosperity
gives tlie power to push and pull for the things in
community life. If there is a weak community paper
anywhere it is the fault of the persons who ought to
take it. but don’t. Everybody with town or county
pride, everybody who believes in neighborliness,
ought to be a subscription agent, as well as a sub
scriber. for the local paper. That is the way of town
and community stagnation.
"Give the local paper support and it will give the
community the things it most needs.”
O
In making your new year resolutions don’t forget
to cut out grumbling, laziness and extravagance. These
things cause us much trouble and disappointment.
