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.

As showing the possibilities fbr tree growth in regions where irriga tion has to be depended .upon, it is poin'ed out that Boise, Idaho, has as many as 95 different kinds of _ orna mental and shade trees. 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 Ishmaelite, has written “thirty” for the last time and passed over the great divide. Mr. Lewis did splendid work on the Ishmaelite, the Macon Telegraph and the Augusta Chronicle His friends throughout the state learned of his death with genuine regret. May he rest in peace. c The Rome Tribune-Herald finds consolation in the thought that it might be worse. It says: “The man who feels bad about his Christmas bills should remember that Belgium owes Germany ninety million dollars and is dead broke.” , o. The latest song in New York is rich in name if nothing else, says an ex change. It might easily be applied to the departing year. "I Hate to Tart With You, But I Think You Bet ter Go,” is the title. t> The Hagenbaek brothers, the great German wild animal dealers, have been killed in the European war, but the Valdosta Times says it is proba ble that “Hagenback’s Shows.” like the dead Barnum’s, will be with for many years yet. We hope riot. o— Admiral Dewey attributes his splen did health at seventy-seven to the fact that he goes to bed at 9 o’clock, rises at 5 and drinks buttermilk every day of his life. It may be healthy for the aamiral, but it would kill us. o One of Griffin’s good natured bald headed men is wondering why one of his friends should have sent him mili tary hair brushes as a Christmas present. Some people are naturally thoughtless, old fellow. o 1 e J Some of Griffin’s prominent bache lor young en have been made to smile and take courage recently at the sight of so many attractive lady book and magazine agents. Smoke up, boys! -i Luke McLuke says some women marry tc get even with some other girl and then spend the rest of the time getting even with the mutt they married. A Birmingham man holds the rec ord for late Christmas shopping. He went out and bought a “package” for himself at five minutes to twelve on Christmas eve night. The year 1914 having almost lived its allotted time, is struggling for ex wlencs today. It is thought that it will pass out before tomorrow morn ing. CARACE ? —We htfve AUTO SUPPLIES Anv Kind.

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. < —• u ; Many Disorders Come From the Liver Are You Just at Odds With Yourself?
