Another large furnishing house for

I
The New Year.
The year 1911 is with us, and while it !
came in. dreary and cloudy, let us hope
it is not an omen cf a hail year, hut let
i us pull together, to make this the best
i and most prosperous year in history.
Let's turn over a new leaf and give
everyone a fair showing.
Let all the citizens try to make Ly
ons larger and better, and let the peo
ple show proper respect for the city or
dinances and officers.
Here are some rules that are being
tried by some to boost the town.
They run down the churches, the
members and the ministers.
Lose no opportunity to let loose on
the teachers and the school.
Chew about the village officers and
authorities.
Give it to your competitor.
Flowl about the business men, they
are all dishonest and give short weight.
Rub it into your neighbor and friends
behind their backs; some one might
think well of them if you didn't.
Slam it to your local newspaper! It
isn’t half as large nor as good as some
others. Don’t take it. but take every
paper you possibly can. It will give the
editor courage.
If a man shows evidence of prosper
ity. belittle hitn on every occasion—it
might help you, if you are a lazy man.
Sit back —stand back and do nothing
nothing, nothing but chew, chew,
chew!
‘ Every little bit helps” to put the
town down, down, down.
So let’s not follow these rules this
year, but speak a good word every
where, for the city,and the people. Let
us pull together on all matters of pub
lic welfare. Cut out little petty jeal
ousies and do something. Don't be a
drone, be a live one.
Mrs. A. S. Collins tells us that some
one shot up her mail box the other
day, that she has the bullets and that
she knows the party who did the shoot
ing. This is a serious crime amendable
only to the courts of the Uuited States.
It means a penalty of at least 5 years
in the United States Prison and parties
who shoot at mail boxes [promiscuous
ly should be careful or they will have
to pay the penalty.
A person has only to take a drive over
Toombs county to see what great im
provements are being made. In every
section he can see new buildings, in
fact he can hardly get out of sight of
one, and besides the new buildings
thousands of acres of new land is being
cleared. We predict that in less than
ten years nine tenths of the land in
Toombs county will be in high state |
of cultivation.
