• The first question a man asks

For fifty-two weeks it has visited you since the merry
bells rang out on the last anniversary of the birth of the
Prince of Peace without missing, bringing with it, we trust,
along with the news .of the day some bit of cheer, some mes-‘
sage of love and some note of the music of life as well as
good counsel, and today the most of its object in coming is
that it shall speak our appreciation for your friendship and
esteem and bear to you the deep and sincere wish of us that
you and yours are happy, enjoying health and material pros
perity, and secure in the faith, hope and love of Him “whom
to know aright is life eternal”.
With a zeal born of high purpose, a sympathy deep
rooted in the besetting trials, the hard experiences, and the j
utmost needs which humanity encounters, and with a pur
poseful desire to help in every way to make the enjoyment of.
life, liberty arid happiness of every fellow creature more
abundant, we have labored to meet the demands of the past
with our best efforts, au.d in however much we have failed
there enters only our errors of judgment, and no measure of
design of heart.
If we have differed it has been honestly; if we have
agreed, it has been more credit to the cause perhaps than to
our power of persuasion, and we look confidently to the
future in which we shall see the relative merits of our points
of view, the consumation of whatever plans that go to make
up the common destinies of men.
We are neighbors, however remotely separated; we are
kindred however distant the relation, and we are bound by a
coil mi unity of interest that permits no severance of ties.
We are citizens whose rights'are inalienable, set out in
the great constitution existing for protection of the universal
brotherhood of man, and we cannot escape, nor do we wish to.
the duties that encumber us as-such.
In the future as in the past, our words and deeds shall
be directed to the uplifting influences of the section of our
birth and the city of our adoption, for the common good; our
movements regulated by the best interests of those who fight
and stand for the right; our efforts expended to more than
selfish ends.
With its meaning full upon us, we wish you one and all
the merriest Christmas ever, a happy and prosperous New
Year, and to every man we say reverently:
“Peace on earth; good will to men.”
Has Turned the Joke.
The Jones County News makes
some pertinent remarks concerning
space writers on city papers who
use the country “hayseed” as their
favorite joke. That paper declares
with much truth that —
“The pale cadavers could not get
a living on a quarter section of the
U'st land in the country if it were
donated to them with improvements
tools and stock.” He thinks that
they are so limited in their powers
of observation “that they have not
learned that the American farm
produces the best all-round men in
the world.”
The Macon Telegraph, endorsing
the above, adds that in this year of
the high cost of living the city man
who has been wont to joke about
his country neighbor has come to
h tve a verv wholesome respect for
him, and is delighted if he can
claim relatives who live on the
farm.
