The opposition to the league of nations appears mostly to Im* from senators who an* opposing everything the president does. If the southern farmers and business men will hold out they will win the fight over the speculators. yow is the time for every man to he optimistic instead of predicting direful happenings. Look on tin* bright side. The extremest is the man who is always getting others into trouble and is never able to get them out of it. A level-headed man, who thinks wisely and does not talk too much, will avoid many of the mistakes that even afterward cause regrets. It seems that this would be the year for every farmer to buy about one-half as much fertilizer as In* lias been in the past. If every man could own a little farm of his own in the south the cotton problem would he easier to solve provided every landowner would make that farm self-sustaining. The mind has a lot to do as to lmw a fellow feels. If you are a calamity howler and nothing goes to suit you, change your way of thinking, look on the bright side and work the harder to bring things right. The preacher, the lawyer ,the doctor, the teacher, the farmer and the politician all feel like they know how to run their par ticular profession better than the other fellow and, hence, ad vice from others goes in at one ear and out at the othei. AN EXTRA SESSION. The Times thought when tin* agitation for an extra ses sion of tin* legislature began a low weeks ago that it would be unwise, but developments since force us to change and we now believe it would be of great and lasting good to our state were the Governor to call an extra session. There seems to be a state-wide demand for an extra session to acton the highway situation in Georgia. Gongress has appropriated #200,000,000 to be apportioned among the states for highway construction purposes. Georgia will receive for the fiscal year 1010, #2,152,000; for the fiscal year 1020, #2,557,000; for the fiscal year 1021, #2,002,000 —a total of *7,402,000. This amount must be supplemented by the state, and there is no legislation more important to Georgia at this time than that to make possible the lull benefits of this enormous federal fund for road building. It is necessary, there fore, to have an extra session if we are to receive this large amount. THiCKS WHAT IS SUCCESS? Different persons have different views as to what is success. The prevalent idea with a large majority of mankind is the accumulation of great wealth, and that no life has l*een a suc cess which has failed to mate money and have large worldly possessions. It is alright to make money in honest and legitimate ways but the man whose sole purpose is to make money and forgets all the obligations he owes to humanity is a miserble failure and of little real worth to the world. Someone has successfully outlined what is success in the following paragraph: "He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of little* children; who has filled his niche and ac complished his task: who has left the world better tha ill lie found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a neseued soul; who has never lacked appreciation *>f earth's beauty or failed to express it; who has always looked for tlu* best in others and given the best he had; whose life was an in spiration; whose memory a benediction.’’ NEVER. I’ve seen some men who’d frankly own that they \V< >'re lacking in the training requisite To run a daily in the modern way— Who’d own right up they'd make a botch of it. I’ve seen some men who didn't fondly dream They could improve their cars by tinkering. I’ve seen a very few who didn't seem e To think they could be at Gongress governing. But never have 1 seen an urbanite, Bred to the pave, dependent on the shops, Who didn't think lie could boat out of sight The oldest farmer man at raising crops. —Walter G. Doty. “What silence we keep year after year ith those who are most near to us and dear! We live beside each other day by day, We speak of myriad things, but seldom say The full sweet word that lies just in our reach, Beneath tin* commonplace of common speech. Then out of sound and out of reach they go— These close, familiar friends who love us so; And sitting in the shadow they have left, Alone with loneliness, and sore bereft, W e think with vain regret of some kind word l J hat once we might have said and they have heard.’’ Your shoes are most in timate personal friends—or they are not. No two sides to a shoe (except inside and outside). Either you love to slip your foot into it at the day’s be ginning, or you hate the sight of it. Here in our shop we do everything that skill and ex perience can suggest to make certain that the shoes you buy are going to be friendly. The Winder Dry Goods Store # BEACONi^sSHOES LETTER FROM GERMANY. Pboffendorf, Germany, Janury 2(, 11)19. Mr. It. L. Woodruff. Winder, Ga. Dear Robert: Received your letter about grandma some time ago. 1 ap preciated you writing very much. I was very uneasy about her for .awhile and a yet. But I hear from home that she is getting better. I sin eeivly hope that she is getting much better by now. Well, 1 am up here in Ger many with the arm yof occupa tion. Guess that 1 will remain here for some time yet. This is certainly a beautiful place. There is a church in Goblenz built in S.'D. Golden/ is just across the Rhine from here. The river is filled with river steam ers and tugs drawing long lines of barges. There are a number of U. S. patrol boats on the riv er also. The people here seem to take the occupation with good heart and ar not kicking at anything. In fact I think that they are glad that the* American milita ry authorities are here to keep down rioting as is going on in Berlin. They seem to like America all right. The text < Wilson's last note to the Ger man government before war was declared was not made pub lie until a short while before the armistice was signed. They all say that if it wore not for America the war would have been won by them. But they are most all glad that the Kaiser is overthrown. Well I am hoping to be at home soon for there is no place like the U. S. A. Your brother, Herbert Woodruff. NOTICE. A special communication of Winder Lodge* No. 333, F. & A.
