AH we want out of some people is silence and

Life seems to run in a circle. A wise editorial
writer on the Daily Item, Sumter, S. C„ comments:
"The little Ashes eat worms, the big Ashes oat the
Httle fishes, the birds eat the big fishes, the animals
oat. the birds, we eat the animals and the worms eat
us." Read that a second time, and you can skip half
of the hooks on philosophy. Rome News.

It Was Teacher’s Fault
A school teacher received the following note: ‘‘Dear
Madam, please excuse my Tommy to-day, he wont
come to school because la* is acting as time-keeper for
his father and it is your fault. You gave him an ex
ample if a field is f< miles around how long will it
take a man walking .'5Ms miles per hour to walk 2%
times around it? Tommy ain't a man so his pa will
walk around the field and Tommy will time him; hut
please don't give my lsoy such examples again, be
cause my husband must go to work every day to sup

The End of the Year
I>*‘cember means the end of the year, hut it does
not menu the end of life, nor does it mean that we
must turn buck in our thoughts and efforts. It is hut
n mile-post in the span of life, and it hut opens up a
new i*art of the great highway that we are all travel
ing. It is a good time for ret respect ion, noting out
failures of the past year as well as our successes.
From these experiences we ought to Ih> able to lessen
our mistakes and i nor east' our successes during the
new year.
With many of us. all tin* things we have hoped for
have not been realized, but if we will sit down ami
count our blessings “one by one,” we will tbnnk God,
and take courage for the tasks that await us during
the coming year. If we have faith in God and in
ourselves and press on. we will always win. All tin'
powers of the universe are backing up the faithful,
fearless, persevering one. Such an one is the favorite of
the gods of fortune.
“Out of f't night that <-overs me.
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever Gods there be 1 j !
For. my unconquerable soul.*
In the fell clutch of circumstance,
I have not winced nor cried aloud;
Under the bludgeons of chance.
My head is bloody, hut unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears.
Looms hut the terror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall ttnd me unnfraid.

If matters not how straight the gate,
How charged with punishment the scroll;
I am the master of my fate,

A New Year Creed
I enter the New Year joyously. It shall lie the best
year of my life. I shall profit by the past, and put
into this year all my past experience*. I shall guard
my health, improve my mind and increase my finan
ces. I shall he better off at the end of this year in
every way than 1 am now. I shall scatter sunshine
along the pathway, be happy, myself, and make oth
ers liapity. I shall make an honest effort to know
more Sully the spiritual life that tlie Christ came
to give me. and to know something of that peace ana
joy that he vouchsafed to his followers.
I shall claim my birthright, the right to lie happy,
useful and prosperous.

“Be of Good Cheer”
There is no place in the world for pessimism. All
things work together for good to the one who grasps
Hie right ideas of life and gets in tune with the In
finite. No man is a failure until he admits It*. Ad
versity is a friend that would make us bestir our
selves and win victories that are worth while.
Adverse business conditions have swept over Bar
row county and this section of the state and these
conditions have had a tendency to paralyze our en
ergies and discourage us from putting forth the ef
forts that are necessary to succeed even In more
prosperous time. The men who are meeting these
depressed business conditions courageously and en
ergetically are the ones that are working out of the
mire of despair.
The New Year is an opportunity for every one to
bend every effort to improve his condition. Barrow
county needs a good .cotton crop. Is‘t us resolve to
do our full duty towards making it: The boll weevil
can tie overcome and it’s up to the genius and en
ergy of our people to win out in the contest with this
|s*st. He who thinks he can win is well on the road
to victory, while he who doubts and is fearful is prac
tically defeated now.
Be of good cheer. Life is u battle all the way
through. But while Hie Creator has so fixed the laws
of ttie universe that we must struggle to live, he lias
also vouchsafed success to the one who struggles.
It’s ours to work and struggle. We are sure to win.
The Lonely One
i
I ain’t in the chimney corner, with a dream of a old
time day;
I ain’t a-courtin’ my troubles, though they’re never
far away;
Ilul when it's Christmas weather, tin* world seems
mighty wide—
They ain't no child that loved me that’s settin’ at my
side.
II
Think how the children leave you! When you are old
and poor
You come to never listen for footsteps at the door;
Not that their hearts ain’t with you—not that they
all ain’t true.
But how can the little children come over the world
to you?
111
Rut I gllsmpse ’em in the daytime, an’ I dream o’
them at night.
With faces like their mother’s—who lives where all is
Light;
An’ when they think I’m dreamin’ there’s not a joy 1
miss—
The children have come home then —home, for a
Christmas kiss.
—Frank L. Stanton.
O
The Bridge Builder
\
“An old man, traveling a lone highway,
Came at the evening, cold and gray,
<
To a chasm deep and wide.
The old men crossed in the twilight dim,
For tin* silent stream held no fears for him,
But he turned when he reached the other side
And built a bridge to span the tide.
“ ‘Old man,’ cried a fellow pilgrim near
‘Y'ou are wasting your strength with building here.
Y"our journey will end with the closing day
And you never will pass this way.
You have crossed the chasm, deep and wide,
Why build a bridge at eventide?’
And the builder raised his old gray head,
‘Good friend, on the path 1 have come,’ he said,
‘There followeth after me today,
A youth whose feet will pass this way.
This stream which lias been as naught to me,
To that fair-haired boy may a pitfall be.
He, too, must cross In the twilight dim,
’Good friend. I am building this bridge for him.’ ”
—Reproduced from the Milieu (Ga.) News.
Read the above poem. And then rend it again.
And then think on it. Let its great truth sink into
your very soul.
Happy is the man who does not forget his fellows as
lie travels along life's pathway. The spirit of fellow
ship is constantly growing in the world. Some day
we’ll understand that our own happiness, our own suc
cess is Interwoven with oar neighbors and with those
who come after us. Let’s all be bridge builders dur
ing the coming year.

When You Want Service
CALL 155
Good Service and Courtesy
Is Our Motto
MADAM, WOULD YOU CARRY A
BASKET LOAD FOR 2 CENTS?
On investigation by the New York State De
partment of markets, comparing cash and
carry stores with delivery stores shows that
the cash and carry Stores sell for about 2 per
cent cheaper. We have the State Govern
ment report as authority.
Therefore, you earn 2 cents when you lug
home a dollar’s worth of groceries from a
cash and carry store. Is it worth it?
A woman who enjoys service of a reliable
grocer will not even let her servant do shop
ping. Saving 2 cents on the dollar by send
ing a maid to the grocer is certainly not econ
omical.
Service saves time, and a service store
gives you this time-saving service at cost.
Our store is a service and quality store!
We deliver.
Phone your order to 155 and be assured of
prompt and efficient service, as well as better
quality of merchandise.
• All kinds of Meats, Staple and Fancy Gro
ceries and Feed Stuffs.
