The old year will soon be gone and a new one will soon be here. Many of us have made new resolutions and kept them and perhaps many have broken them. And some of our loved ones have passed away. We who have all our loved ones should be thankful. I hope all who have read my letters for the last 12 months have enjoyed them, for I have written for the benefit of the readers and the paper too. I wish everybody a merry Christ mas and a .rnppy new year. May God’s richest blessings rest upon you all. Pearl. Rex. (Last week’s Letter.) Mr. and Mrs. Linton Powell spent Monday in Atlanta.
