PLEASE BEAK IN MIND.
The person who imagined that he
sun would go down and darkness fall
ever the land at noon today; that time
would stand still; that the moon and
stars would fade; that the ocean
would dry up; that Gabriel would
sound his trumpet and the Creator
resurrect the dead, if or she Was not
prominently displayed, would not be
remembered by a hundred people
these days after death. Too many
persons exaggerate their importance
in the world and wonder how it msn
i.ged to wag along before their ad
vent But history proves that it man
aged to turn around one way and
over the other even before their arri
val.
A large majority of the inhabitants
of the earth are mere units and not ?f
sufficient importance to be capitali
zed.
Don’t be offended K the clock re
fuses to stop when you enter a room
or if,, everybody else forgets to dis
continue breathing long enough to
hear from you.

NEW YEAR APPROACHES.
Tonight at twelve o’clock the old
year, one of the most eventful in the
world's history, ends end a new one
will be ushered in.
The year, as the Columbus
Ledger truly says, is coming first with
a rush of bills and later with Its care
and exigencies; perhaps it may bring
us blessings, certainly, whatever good
things we m%y get from it we know it
wil Hiring us trials end tests. What
more wonderful and fitting a prep
aration could we have for it than the
spirit of Christmas, in which it still
finds us when it comes?
What better resolution could we
make for the new year than to carry
this glow of Christmas guarded in
our hearts till the new year shall
grow old find once again the season
of the nativity comes to bring another
great influx of brotherly love and un
selfish thoughts to our hearts and
minds.
We begin the new year richer in
heart and strengthened in spirit be
cause of this little practice of setting
self aside and thinking of others. If
we can but carry with us, throughout
the year, the kindly feelings and will
ingness to think and fel for others
which have blessed us in this season,
we shall find happiness throughout
the year. So here’s a Happy New
Year to all who have had a Happy
Christmas!
Editor Sidney Lewis, of the Sparta

regret. May he rest in peace.

FOR HARD-TIME TALKERS.
The editor of the Milan Standard
speaks out plainly to tho wallers, or
at least some of them: v
* »ou know what’s the matter with
you? You’ve been going too fast a
gait. You have been traveling a
road when you ought to have
been riding on a road. And
you S6OO guys have ben trying to
travel with the $1,200 fellows. That’s
the trouble. It’s not hard times—it’s
dnmfool times. Wake up! Interview,
yourself in the morning and talk it
over.” g
This advice is a bit cruel to the
good fellows who have stretched their
currency in the effort to be generous
at Christmas times, says the Americus
Times-Rocordcr. Be that as it may,
just at this time it is well to remem
ber grandmother's adage: ‘Cut your
pattern by the cloth.”
WHEN THE EDITOR READS.
(Emporia Gazette.)
Remember this, you who have busi
ness. with the editor.. It’s all right
to come in when he’s reading or writ
ing or ‘-diting copy; but don’t get it
in your head that when he’s reading
his exchanges you have come in the
idle hour. How ean an editor get
any ideas if he doesn't read others’
ideas. Do you think he sits down
and thinks ’em all out of his head?
Well, he doesn’t. He reads a score
of papers every morning, and from
one or two he gets a suggestion or
two. Sometimes he finds an item
that makes him mad: then he writes
well; sometimes u vagrant item, a
pay local, a telegraphic head, an ad
certisement, starts a rich train of
suggestion. But the sure way to
wreck the train, and make your pa
per stupid and insane, is to come
bustling in when he is reading the ex
changes He is doing the best work
of his day. <
