CUTTSM
We are very thankful to our good friends
and customers for their patronage and favors
during the past year.
The year has in many ways been a satisfac-
, tory one, if disappointing m others, the good
prices and exceptional weather for gathering
crops' helping to make up for the difficulty ex
perienced in planting and cultivating.
We hope everyone will take fresh courage,
try to profit by past experiences, and begin the
NeW Year with more energy, feeling sure of
successful and better results.
j We are better prepared than ever to look
aiter the interests of our customers. Buying in
large quantities, as we do, and knowing what
to buy in order to give our trade the best in
everything, we will offe,r every protection, both
in quality and prices.
It is a good idea, in selecting a store to
trade with, to go to one where you know you
will find what you want and at right prices.
If you have not tried us, do so next year.

THE ISLE OF LONG AGO.
Oh, a wonderful stream is the River Time,
As it ruriB through tho realm of tears,
With a faultlesa rythm and a musical rhyme,
And a boundless sweep and a surjre sublime,
As it blends with the Ocean of Years,
How the winters are drifting:, like flakes of snow,
And the summers like buds between,
And the your in the sheaf; so they come and they
On the river'B breast, with its ebb and flow,
As it slides in the shadows and sheen.
There’s a musical isle up the River Time,
Where the softest of airs are playing;
There’s a cloudless sky and a troplcnl clime.
And a song as sweet as a vesper chime.
And the Junes with tho roses are straying.
And the name of that isle is tho Long Ago,
And we bury our treasures there;
There are brows of beauty and bosoms of snow;
There are heaps of dust—but we loved them sol
There are trinkets and tresses of hair.
P There are fragments of song that nobody sings,
And a part of an infant’s prayer;
There’s a lute unswept, and a harp without strings;
There are broken vows amt pieces of rings.
And the garments that she used to wear.
V
There are hands that are waved when the fairy
shore
By the mirage is lifted in the air;
And we sometimes hour through the turbulent roar
Sweet voices we heard in the days gone before,
When tho wind down the river is fair.
Oh, remembered for nye be the blessed isle,
All the day of our life until night;
When tho evening comes with its beautiful smile,
And our eyeB are closing to slumber awhile.
May that "Greenwood" of soul be in sight.

COMING OF THE NEW YEAR.
MemphiB (Tenn.) Commercial-Appeal.
Christmas has come and gone, leav
ing behind its memory of full stockings
and full stomachs for the children, and
more pretentious memories for their
elders. It is a glad season, but there
are many who are thankful that it is
over. We now contemplate with cer
tain gravity the dawn of a new year
and wonder what its dispensations are
to be.
It is a fortunate tendency of human
nature to look with cheerfulness upon
the coming of a new year just as we do
upon the daiyn of a new day, not know
ing what is to come, yet hopeful and
confident that in the flight of time old
sorrows wili have lest much of their
keenness, and new conditions, new
hopes, new purposes will have brought
with them new joys and greater con
tentment. The to-morrows are the mile
stones of hope as we trudge along life’s
highway, but bearing the fiurden with
fortitude, because as we pass one after
the other we feel that it is to be the
last of danger and distress, and that at
the next our burdens will be lightened
and our cup brim full. ,
"Hope springs eternal in the human
breast.” For that reason there is al
ways something consoling and comfort
ing, no matter what our presept condi
tions may be, in dipping into the future
as far as the human eye can see and
working out our own destinies in the
lonely hours by ourselves.
It is fortunate that most people have
faith in their to-morrows, even if they
do hold the cup of pleasure to the lips
to break it to the taste. They at least
afford a little pleasure for the passing
hour, spurring us on to better endeav
ors and helping us to keep our faces to
ward the rising sun when the trials and
troubles of the day tempt most people
to look the other way.
So with the New Year, which comes
to mankind each time with so much of
renewed hope and inspiration that the
very air of the day which ushers it in
is freighted with its incense. Few stop
to think that it really means another
step toward that undiscovered country,
but greet it with welcome heart and
feelings, gay and bouyant. Most people
are really glad to see the New Year.
The bells ring out the old and in the
new, and people of all conditions and all
ages cease looking into the shadows of
life and come out for the day, at least,
into the broad open of sunshine. Every
one turns over a new leaf, as the say
ing goes, some to write a story of no
bler purposes and better accomplish
ments; some to keep on writing the set
lines of the past. Yet there is no one
so despondent and overwhelmed that
he does not look out into the world on
New Year’s Day over the clouds of
other years and see at least a glint of
sunshine rifting the horizon of the fu
ture. The harder and more cruel fate
has been in the past, the more hopeful
human nature becomes. There is that
indefinable something in the air on New
Year’s Day that enthuses, invigorates
and inspires. It is time for a fresh
start in life, hence the good resolutions
so extensively made. It is commonly
accepted that most of these resolutions,
gt least a great majority of them, are
broken before the year is many weeks
old, but in many instances they have
proven the turning point in a man’s ca
reer, while the broken ones have in
jured no one. Therefore, instead of
ridiculing and condemning the New
Year resolution, it is wise to encourage
it. It carries the tardy warfarer in life
at least past another milestone with
lighter step and brighter spirits, even
if he is soon destined to fall back again
into the old ways and into the old, worn
rut.
The vital question, and the one which
i
will interest most people when the New
Year is born, is how the coming year
will treat us, each and every one. It iB
an impenetrable curtain that hides the
coming twelve months from view, and
we seek in vain to learn whether at the
close we are still to have with us those
we have now, those we love, those we
depend upon and those who help to
make our days happy and cheerful, and
inspire a love for life. Perhaps, too,
we may be the missing ones instead of
them. It is only when these thoughts
come on New Year that we realize
how small a part even the greatest of
us play on tho world’s stage. The
“even flow of life moves calmly on,”
whether it takes us along its tides or
not, and be the fallen one king or peas
ant, 'another stands waiting for the va
cant place. The great thirsting un
known claims many, and each day, hour
and minute is the occasion for some
worldly soul to take its flight to anoth
er sphere. Men of great minds, men
of the most cherished and unsatisfied
ambitions, are compelled to relinquish
their flight here and fall out of the
race, leaving their place vacant for
a minute, to be immediately filled by
someone else.
But about our own fireside or that of
our friends, what a blank is there when
some of them has gone before! Only
those who have experienced it can
know what it is to be looking constant
ly, absently and longingly for some
dear, missing face in its familiar place,
and not find it there. Not until we
feel the pang that cuts us like a knife
thrust do we come to fully understand
this thought.
But why indulge further in these
sombre and unseasonable thoughts?
“Let slip the world; I’ll ne’er be young
again,” said Christopher Sly. Look to
the New Year’s Day for better and
brighter things. Let our hearts be
light, and while some must feel sad as
the city bells ring out the old year and
in the new, let people bow their heads
and listen in Bilence to the mingled
chimes. Let them mark the shriek of
innumerable whistles and realize that
one more stage has been passed in
life’s onward journey. Let them ask
themselves what the old year has done
for them and mentally resolve that the
coming months shall be fruitful to all,
especially to themselves.
The Christmas season has been beau
tiful and bright, and all have enjoyed
it. Let the new year be given a splen.
did welcome, and at the same time let
us bury the departing year with ap
propriate respect and the usual solemn
ceremonies. Let us live in the present,
and, if wo can, forget there was ever a
past.
A charitable man in Birkenhead sent
a bundle of cast-off clothing to a phi
lanthropist society. He received from
one of its proteges the following:
“The committy man giv me among
other things what he called a pair of
Inexpressibles. I found your name and
where you live in one of the pokits. My
wife laffed so when I showed ’em to
her that I thot she would have a fit.
She wants to khow if there lives and
brethes a man who has legs no bigger
than that. She sed if there was he
orter be taken up for vagrinsy for hav
ing no visible means of support. I
couldn't get ’em on my eldest boy, so I
UBed ’em for gun cases. If you hev
another pare to spear, my wife would
like to git ’em to hang up by the side
of the flre-playe to keep the tongs in.”

Newnan, Ga., Bays: “I have been using
Doan’s Kidney Pills off and on for sev
