(Truck Transportation) The higher you climb the ladder of success, the greater is the crowd at the bottom watching and se cretly praying that you may lose your footing, miss the next rung and lie dashed to the level of those Whose jealousy you have provoked—they want what you havi* and wish to l>** what you an\ That's human nature, and you can’t get away from t,i for if you rise shove the dead line of success and ach Hie heights of a personal or business achieve ment, you must expect slander and malice—it’s an invitation to dirt throwers to aim in your direction. In these days when ‘hearsay” is rampant and wild stories are being circulated by unscrupulous persons, which are detrimental to the reputation of indie id unis or business associates, it is wise to take such statements with a grain of salt and then without a moment's hesitation —forget them. Idle gossip is only the hark of a hair brained weip n n,l nt its best is an uncertain weapon, yet even in this enlightened age there are many who never scru ple to use it, if it happens to serve their purpose. Herbert Kaufman Hit the nail square on the head when, writing on the human “Anvil chorus," he said: “Only big men appreciate the merit of others —that s the quality which makes them great. To recognize genius is the next thing to possessing it. In handing out these few bricks, let me add a few bouquets and leave a helpful thought with you its nothing new and has been told many times before and will be repeated long after we have departed this earthly sphere, but it’s a wonderful thought listen “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them. 1 don’t know who said it, but here Is a thought that is worth remembering—" Believe not each ac cusing tongue. As most weak mortals do. But still believe that story wrong. Which ought not to he true.” Let’s take a day off—you and I—and think these ever and let us put Into practice that spirit of “Do ye so unto others” and make it a part of ourselves for I really believe it can he done—at least that's What One Man Thinks. O Winder loses a good citizen In the death of J. B. Williams. O If we were to -start out tomorrow wonder if we could find a Barrow county ham In any of the stores in Winder. O Not a pound of hay, meat, potatoes, corn meal or flour should be shipp'd into Barrow county. We’ll never run Into lasting prosperity until we stop it. O Winder needs a live commercial organisation of some kind. Wonder if there is enough of the spirit of co-operation among our people to keep one going? Winder has been considered one of the best cotton markets in the state. Why not broaden out and make her one of the liest markets in the state for other products. O People who are trying to get something for nothing generally wind up with getting nothing for something. O An lowa man recently married his seventh wife, all sisters, and all the daughters of the family. O Editor Shackelford, of Lexington, says, speaking from experience, that there is no need of a morato rium. The debtors have already declared oue. O Editor Patterson, of the Forsyth County News, says that Editor D. B. Townsend, of Ilahlonega, and Ordinary of Lumpkin county, performed seventeen marriages in 1921 but did not follow the old custom of kissing the bride. How does Editor Patterson know what Editor Townsend is doing up there in # the mountains where the mountain dew gushes fresh and pure from the hillsides? A Fprecast for 1922. There will he rain, but not according to the Alma nac. Grass will grow and cream will rise, but only for those who tend the cow or pay the price. Heed time and harvest will come in spite of the mistakes of the government. Those who work will reap in due season if they use good judgment. No ships will come in this year unless they have been sent out. This is the year for politicians to save the country, hut tiic people will have to take care of themselves. It will be a good year for those who make a living and save money. It will l>e better for those who make enough to build homes. ■—Elberton Star. O Looking for Trouble. THIS Is a time when many of us are looking for trouble. We grumble if it rains, and we grumble if it don’t rain. We grumble if the sun shines, and we grumble if it don’t shine. We grumble if we have to work, and we grumble if we can't find work. We complain if we are poor, and we complain if we have money that others are trying to beat us out of it. It’s just our natures to swing onto trouble. Frank L. Stanton was right when he said: “If the world rolled close to heaven, still the growlin’ tone they'd keep That the singin' of the angels kept a fellow from his sleep.” This old world of ours is hard to beat. It’s full of sunshine and glory, but we prefer the clouds and the misery. It’s full of roses but we prefer the thorns. Like the swine we root among the pearls and con tinue to grunt. Maybe some day we’ll grow wise and learn the hotter way. But jus-t now we are grumblers and seem “sot” in our ways. O Can You Beat It? There is no more delicious article of diet than a gen uine, "hickory smoked and molasses cured" country ham—the type of ham that has made Brooks county famous. Such hams are always in demand, and eagerly sought after. And yet a thorough combing of the Atlanta markets, both wholesale and retail, in a city that is central of a metropolitan district of more than a quarter of a million population, reveals the astounding fact that not a single home-cured Georgia liam is on sale here! The Constitution told the story yesterday. There are plenty of hums in our meat markets; there is no dearth of meat of any kind, hut for the most part it is western meat, and the hams offered for sale are, in the main, hams made from hogs that were grown in the west or north, killed and prepared for market in western packing houses, and shipped to Georgia for sale. Meanwhile our farmers are lying awake ’ nights trying to figure out how to beat the boll weevil and keep out of the clutches of the sheriff! “Can you beat it?” —Atlanta Constitution. O The Saving Habit. WE are told that there is enough money in the Savings banks of Atlanta to give each inhabitant of the city $125. If this were true in Winder it would mean that our banks would be carrying $4:t7.- 500 in rheir savings department. What a consolation such a condition would be to our people and what an impetus it would mean to business conditions! When we get hold of a dollar instead of thinking up some way In which we fan spend it, let's put It in a saving account, and not only safeguard ourselves against unforeseen misfortune but help business conditions to become normal again. A man’s success in life is guaged absolutely by his ability to save. If he lacks the saving attribute he is doomed to poverty and to failure. If he knows how to save and to deny himself no power on earth can hold him back from success. And the women can play a great part in the re building of our business life and in placing our coun try upon a sound basis. A wise woman w ill not tol erate extravagance in her household. She will con stantly hold her husband and her children down to a life of sensible economy. She will realize the value of such a life to her children and will be showing herself to be a mother who really loves her children and is laying the foundations of their success In life. It is religious to lie economical. It is God-like. Noth ing is wasted in God's universe. The fragments are always gathered up that nothing may be lost. Econ omy means success and power and joy, which are at tributes of the heavenly kingdom. Extravagance means poverty and weakness, sorrow and despair, which are hellish conditions. It takes effort to save. It takes self-denial to win. But the victories that we win over our own natures and over outward forces are worth the struggle. If you are extravagant, right about face at once, and you will find strength and joy in your life. O How aliout organizing a ‘get-together” club in Win der? O You will never get anywhere complaining. To see the stars you must look up.
