, ill Ashurst spent a few
at our school Friday.
diss Effie Middlebrooks spent
Sunday with friends in Ocilly.
Kenny Ashurst spent Thursday
night with Theo Middlebrooks.
Miss Lera Walker spent Tues¬
day night with Miss Nellie Wil¬
banks.
Mr. Lewis Wilcox was a caller
at the borne Miss Bertha Minix
Thursday afternoon.
Mr. Fred Wilbanks and sister,
Miss Chester spent Wedesday p.

Mr. Fred Wilbanks has return¬

in Ohio and Atlanta.
Messrs Leon and Guy White
from town are the guests of Mr.
Fred Wilbanks this week.
We are told that a dog in St.
Louis has learned to smoke. lie
shows as much intelligence as his
teacher.
One of the dangers of being
married in an aeroplane is that
the first falling out is likely to
prove, disastrously.
Some men would rather hear a
40,000 hypothetical question than
an angry wife’s question, “where
have you been all this time.”
It is remarkable what a differ¬
ence the calendar makes in our
life, and what an amount of senti¬
ment it calls forth. But for the
calender one dav would be about
the same as another and the first
of January would mean no more
to us than the first of any other
month. But since the calendar
has decreed on the authority of
government and scientists that the
first of January is the first of a
New Year, the day immediately
assumes peculiar importance.
There is no other day quite like it:
none that pioduces the same vary¬
ing emotions. When the clock
strikes the hour of midnight Dec.
31, means the death of one year
and the birth of another, and as a
consequence our feelings are both
regretful and glad, and our
thoughts are both retrospective
ami prospective. We cannot avoid
a p i ig that the old year whirb %
meant so much to us is, “like a
snowflake in the river, gone for¬
ever.” Never-the-less we greet
the new year joyously and with
hope and expectancy even tho the
past, may with some make the hope
a cautious one. Still it exists and
with it the truly ambitious man
will do his best to realize the plans
he Inis formed. New year is always
a time of pleasant greetings to
others. The wish for a, “Happy
New Year,” is no empty phrase,
hut. a genuine expression of the
friendly interest we have taken in
one or another Of course we do
not limit our good wishes to the
opening days of the year but hope
that each day in the whole circle
of the year may come latlened
with blessings.
It is a good thing that we have
these special days to relieve the
monotory of life and free us from
the dull routine of duties in which
there is a danger of losing our¬
selves. Were it not for such days
as Xmas with its divine message
and New Year with its divine
pleasant greetings, our finer sensi-
would become deadened
we would gr ow U hard»d
cold as the yellow gold alter which
most of us seek.
