NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS
Do you believe in New Year Resolutions? With all its
joys pressed down and running over which it contained,
with all its griefs so deep that have come with it, 1913 has
surely passed and with the years gone by has become a part
of the dead past. To some it has been a glorious year in
every way. Not for years has Nature responded so abun
dantly to the labor of man and prosperity in health and
wealth has abounded. To many it means the time of per
haps their greatest sorrow and grief but. whatever has
been your portion, you are standing on the threshold of a
New Year —a year potent with possibilities and bright
with promises.
Some people do not believe in New Year resolutions.
They fear failure in keeping them and believe it better
never to start than to fail by the way. This is wrong. Bet
ter far it is to summon your courage and begin anew
f:ght than never to start anew —even if you might fail.
Better, of course, it is to succeed.
But let us each look back to 1913 just long enough
to the failures, joys and sorrows and see from these where
we can gain knowledge and help so that in the many ex
periences 1914 will bring we may find ourselves better
equipped, stronger and more determined to make 1914 the
very best year we’ve ever had be you young or be you old,
re you great or be you humble.
And so this good day resolve in words, in thought and
deed and together begin on the good New Year some res
olutions spiritually. Are you better today than you were
the first day in 1913? Have you forgotten your self more
in the interest of others this past year than you did the
jear before? Have you higher ambitions because stronger?
Will you not for 1914 resolve to make the effort to do
better, to be more unselfish and to give yourself more un
selfishly in the interest of your fellow man. “Happiness
lies in service.”
Intellectually, what more do you know than you did
this time last year? Have you wasted all your spare time
on things which amount to nothing or have you stored in
your mind good wholesome knowledge that helps you to
be a better person? Have you gained a smattering knowl
edge of affairs of this busy life of ours and on that lack
of knowledge have you founded narrow-minded prejudices
that naught can shake? And from these prejudices have
discord and unhappiness and often grief arisen?
So will you not for this year resolve to know some
thing more than you did last year? There is one vast un
attained amount of knowledge to be gained by every human
being and if there be one who exists that does not believe
this, then that person has an extra amount to learn.
Experience has and will teach us much. Assimilate this
knowledge and every single day resolve to know some
thing you did not know the day before.
Society. Has your social life degenerated to the point
where a newspaper is your only desired asssociate? Have
you become so engrossed in your little self and you can’t
take time to be sociable with your family and your friends
to whom you could mean so much? Or does your sociability
take the form of mere gossip and slander of your neighbor?
Will you not resolve to cultivate the social part of your
nature to the uplift of yourself, the betterment of humanity
L.y creating around you the most wholesome influence and
atmosphere?
Financially. Many have failed this past year in their
cherished projects. Many have wonderfully succeeded.
1 ave you even in the smallest detail kept honesty as your
ruling word and do your fellow men know that whether
you succeeded or whether you failed you did it honestly?
Will you not resolve thh: year to keep your business
transactions strictly above board and resolve to treat
v
your business associates and competitors in the way you
■would have them treat you?
Politically. Have you mixed personalities and politics
so thoroughly that you fail to see the good purpose of it
all? Are you so peeved in your miscarried plans that you
are refusing to uphold your part in our political world? Are
you so bound in by your selfishness and prejudice that you
have blocked all good movements because all men failed
to do your bidding?
Will you not resolve in 1914 to come out of yourself
and view questions from every angle and whatever you
sincerely believe to be the best for all, be willing to do?
Men will disagree. It has been so since the beginning of
time. Will you not give the other person the benefit of
knowing something of a mentality as strong as yours? If
you believe you know it all will you not resolve to give him
a patient hearing? And will you not resolve to do away with
personal prejudices when the common good is at stake?
And finally will you not resolve to be more kind? Mellow
that heart of hatred, indifference and dislike you’ve had so
long. Deal gently with your neigh Dor’s faults nnd then he
will finally deal gently with yours. Keep back the unkind
word, live nigh, think high and by so doing you can make
1914 the very happiest year you’ve ever had. Pull to
gether for each others welfare and Cartersville can well
rise and call her people blessed.

AN INFANT DtES.
On Friday morning the little three
months old infant of Mr. and Mrs.
Tom Watson was found dead in bed.
The child had apparently been in
good health and took nourishment
about nine o’clock in the morning. It
was put in bed and about 11 o'clock
Mrs. Watson went to see about it and
found it dead. Hives were possibly the
cause of its death
The funeral and interment took
place on Saturday.
DEATH OF MRS. MARY NELSON.
Mrs. Mary A. Nelson died at her
home on Stonewall street on Sun
day afternoon after an illness of sev
eral weeks with pellagra.
Mrs. Nelson was 53 years old and
had lived in and near Cartersville
for many years and had many friends
who learn with deep regret of her
death.
The funeral was conducted from the
Baptist church by Rev. Geo. F. Brown
on Tuesday morning and the inter
ment was in Oak Hill cemetery.
“THE LITTLE WAIF" WAS
AN EXTRA GOOD SHOW.
The bad weather we had Monday
did not keep the crow r d away from
the Opera House Monday evening and
every one who attended came away
well pleased with the evening’s en
tertainment.
It was the boys and girls of the
Graduating Class of our High School
who played “The Little Waif” and
each one did their part so well that
we could hardly realize they were not
professional people.
Hugh Barron, as Jason, the old
farmer, was very good. George Crouch
as Josh Arrowroot was very chesty
over the fact that he was the consta
ble and ex-sheriff. James Vaughan as
Malchon Gray, the villian, did his
part in a very masterly manner.
We will not try to tell you how
good Wofford Gilreath was as it is out
of our power to do so. Every move
he made and word he spoke brought
forth a laugh from the audience.
A real tramp could not have looked
or played the part of Willie Work any
better than Wofford.
Mary Lou Young as Ruby was very
good in the role.
Lucy Vail Jones as Maude was very
sweet looking and played her part in
an easy business like way.
Racheal Stephens as Mrs. Glimmer,
the adventuress, was a swell looking
woman of the world and was very
scornful and dignified.
Lucy Hendricks as Becky, though
old maid, was very much in the nxixup
and played her part to perfection.
The specialty by the boys quartette
was well received and the dancing of
Lucy Hendricks and Harold Rainey
was a riot.
We have just been advised that the
play will be repeated next Friday
night and that seats are now on sale
at Gilreath’s Pharmacy. Prices will
be 25c and 35c.

vote will be appreciated. If elected l

and will not make but one promise
and that Is my honest duty.

OPERA HOUSE
CHANGES HANDS.
Mrs. E. R. Holleman, who has been
conducting the Grand Opera House
picture show for the past year, has
sold her interest in same to Messrs.
W. R. Satterfield, L. M. Trippe, R. H.
Renfroe, W. J. Ham and H. H. Rainey.
The new management promises to
conduct the business along the same
high plane pursued by Mrs. Holleman.
Only the newest and best pictures will
be shown.
An effort will be made to get some
real good shows at popular prices. It
is the idea of the new managers to
have shows of such a class and the
price so reasonable that full houses
will always be on hand.
Much interest is manifest in the deal
just closed by the show lovers of the
city, who anxiously await the com
ing of the first show under the new
management.
