Enjoying the Present.
NO mail who fear* the future can enjoy the present
We must so live that every day we can look every
man in the law with a clear conscience that we have
treated him fairly and that he carries no burdens be
cause of anything we have done to him. A man of
high thoughts aud high purposes becomes a man <a
p.icitaled for high enjoyments, and he gets greut
things out of life. The man of low thoughts and low
purposes becomes debased in bis nature and gets no
enjoyment out of life. His capacity to enjoy life i
taken away from him kv the natural law of creation.
To lie pitied is the man who so lives that lie dreads
Die coining of the morrow or the next year or the
next century.

Thraldom
THRALDOM is unpleasant. And when we arc un
der Obligations to others we are to some extent
in thraldom. IMu is an obligation, and hence debt
puts us in thraldom to some extent. Every man now
should bend every i ffort to get out of debt. The finan
cial depression that swept over the country put us
all In debt. But we should not become discouraged
and quit. We should know that “to the brave and
faithful nothing is difficult,” and we should press for
ward to the consumation of our hopes and aspirations.
'Hiis section is one of the Hnetsl in the south. Our
climate is ideal and our soil is just as fertile as we
want to make it. Health conditions are the bust, and
every man can pull through if we only make up our
minds to do so.
Let this lie the Host year in your life and you will
be happy next Christmas as you tliink back over the
splendid efforts you put forth during the year to meet
your obligations and to get from under the thraldom
of debt

As To Nitrate of Soda.
THE NEWS lias received a letter from Col. Lewis
0. Russell in regard to the 28.000 tons of nitrate
of soils at Jacksonville, Tenn., to lie sold by February
20th lo tbe people of this country by tlie war depart
ment. The 'ljids on this soda were to have closed on
January 20th, and the minimum amount for which
-nny one could bid was one hundred tons. But through
the efforts of tlie senators from Georgia and South
Carolina and tin* Georgia delegation in congress, the
time for bidding on this nitrate of soda was extended
to February 20th, and the amount for which any one
can bid is reduced to twenty tons which is a carload.
Anyone in Winder and Barrow county can put in a
bid for this uitrate of soda.. In his letter to the News
Col. Russell says:
“It is unquestionably true that the farmers can
save money by buying this nitrate of soda from the
government, but they must get together, as no bid for
less than one carload will la* accepted. It is hoped
tbit the farmers will not undertake to make too low
a bid and thus have some bid over them and obtain
the goods.
“While I have no authority from any source, and it
i-i only my personal opinion, it strikes me that no bid
should be made for less than SIO,OO i>er ton, f. o. b.
Jacksonville. Tenn. My private opinion is that none
of this soda is likely to sell for less than $50.00 j>er
ton. Let tlie farmer try out tlie market and see what
he can do on cash prices and tlrni he will be in posi
tion to make a bid.”
Col. RuaMl has promised to send the News a copy
of full instructions to bidders which we will l>e glad
to show to anyone interested when the circulars
reach us.

We have often woudered why so large a percentage
of people ieel that It is not incumbent upon them to
t*e ladles and gentlemen while driving automobiles.
In A Hurry.
ONE of the hardest lessons for us to learn is that
things worth while are not accomplished in a day.
It takes time to secure things that are valuable. We
need to think often of the expression, “Rome was not
built in a day.” You can get whatever you want if
you know how to “labor and to wait.” Huccess, achieve
ment, wealth, love, character or position can be won by
us but it takt's years of labor to get them.
We are like children. We want thing* when we see
them. We are not willing to work for them and to
persevere until we get them. Life Is short, but we
have plenty of time to get what we want if we will
begin on the threshold of life and do not get in too
big a hurry for them. Hurry scatters and destroys,
Hurry shortens life. Begin early in life to lay your
foundations and then build gradually upon those foun
dations and you will find thut by the time old age
comes upon you that you have succeeded in the world
and that you have enjoyed every day of your existence
here upon earth.
The joy of life, at last, is in doing things and doing
them well.
O-
Back to Work
ONE of the most hopeful signs of the times is that
men have made up their minds to go hack to work.
On ull sides we see the return of our people to the
spirit of activity and economy. We have realized
that the law which says thut by the sweat of our
brow we may eat bread is true. Good, honest work
coupled with reasonable economy and fair manage
ment will alwuys bring prosperity.
Woe unti any people when they begin to think that
a living can he made in this world without work. The
world is not made that way. It ought not to be made
that way. Work brings health, contentment, prosper
ity and joy. God will not let us prosper in idleness.
He Is wise in this. The stability of the universe and
the well-being of humanity are dependent upon moving
on, upon work.
Let us all get down to work; stop trying to get rich
quick; economize in a sensible way, and the clouds
will roll away. Every problem must be worked out.
You cannot dream it out or speculate it out. And
the great thing about work is that it not only brings
prosperity but it brings happiness and joy to the soul.
People sing when they work, not when they are idle
Returning prosperity is coming to Winder and Bar
row county, because our people have a mind to work.
O
It is a strange thing to us that no mail robbers ever
get a single one of our bills.

Some citizens think they have discharged their full
duty to tlie commonwealth when they have set and

Youth and Age
At 50, Noah Wetfter began his study of 17 lan
guages.
At 75, Voltaire did his great, thinking.
After 79, Vanderbilt developed the railroads of
America.
At 80, Gladstone made bis way to the head of his
government for the fourth time.
At 86, Tom Scott began his study of Hebrew.
At 98 Titan finishes! a famous painting.

At 103, Uhevruel, the famous French scientist, was
going his best.
Surely these men proved that a man is never clown
until the strength of your desires and the way you
go about realizing them. Past mistake’s are but step
ping stones to future greatness unless you choose to
make them monuments to dead hopes and wasted
effort.
Young or old, your chances are about the same. Age
feels it is too late to start now, but youth feeds there
Is plenty of time to start later. That’s fifty-fifty.
Youth is over-confident; age over cautious.
Youth is quick, but age should be sure.
Youth has vim, vigor and age. hut age has care,
courage and character.
To youth, disappointment Is a calamity, to age it
should Re hut an incident.
The early hours, sound sleep, moderate habits, and
well ordered house hold of age are no mean advan
tages over the diversions, dissipations, wondcrlust,
and discontent of youth.
Creeping paralysis of the ambition is more common
in after life than hardening of the arteries.
We don’t get knocked down half as often as we
lay down.
As Roosevelt said, we mean well but we mean well
feebly.
At fifty we should be fit to fight, am! not "getting
our time ” and “taking air.”
Tlie fact is that the giving up point is just about
two days ahead of our funeral.—Chester 11. Struble
