New Year
Greeting!
The year just closed has been a hard
one in some respects; but most farmers
throughout this section raised abundant
food and forage crops, and, while the
cotton crop fell below our expectations,
the price obtained for the staple went
far toward evening up the shortage in
yield. All things considered, the new
year opens promisingly, and we would
be ungrateful not to feel thankful for
the blessings vouchsafed t . Deeply
sensible of these blessings, therefore, and
appreciating to the utmost the favors
shown us in the past, we send to our
friends and patrons, one and all, warm
greetings and sincere wishes for a happy
and prosperous New Year. It shall be
our pleasure to serve them with the
same liberality and promptness during
1914 that have characterized our deal
ings in former years, and extend them a
cordial invitation to continue to make
•our store their headquarters, assuring
each and every one a warm welcome.

PARROTT
FOR THE NEW YEAR.
The short noon weeps that the hours are fleet
And hides the steps of the Hun’s bright feet.
But the moon laughs low in the midnight Hky,
For she sees the sun’s face from her throne on
high.
Behind the blank of the vaporous seas
Gleam still, au of old, tho Hcsperides:
The bloom of the rose tree is withered and goes.
But a new flower sleeps in the root of the roso.
And spring shall come with a Bute and a fire
And wake new passion and old desire;
Tho scarlot poppies shall flame and pass
Out of tho clusters of cool young grass.
And tho brook shall dance against wnrm green
leaves
And the brown fields murmur with shocks and
Bhenves;
Out of the city that rosrs and cries
I send you a dream of delight of the eyes.
Out of tho heart of tho winter time
I send you a leaf from tho young ynnr’s prime;
Out of the toil nnd the trouble of night
I send you a song of tho dawn’s delight.
For all things die to ariso again.
Save pa n, nnd sorrow, the shadow of pain;
Ami beyond tho roach of tho rack and tho rod
There remaineth a rest for tho people of God.

Home and the Woman.
Dorothy Dix.
If you will think over the women you
know whose husbands are crazy over
them and who are always telling what
"my wife said” and "my mother
thinks,” you will have it borne in upon
your mind that every one of these wo
men is a good-humored, cheerful wo
man, whose laugh is hung on a trigger,
and not one of them is a conspicuously
good housekeeper. Indeed, some of
them are woefully slack housekeepers,
but tho husband and the children don’t
care if there is dust on the upper right-
hand corner of the top of the pantry
shelf, and they sometimes have to pin
things together with safety pins be
cause a button is off. Mother is so
jolly and so ready to chime in with any
youthful plan.
Wife’s bills are not cut down to the
quick, and her cooking isn’t all that a
fastidious palate could desire, but she
is always there with the welcoming
smile, and she’s alwayB so satisfied and
such a good fellow and so ready to see
a man’s point of view-and, Lord,
when you think of that and the kind of
a wife some men have had wished on
them! What's a tough steak to a
tough disposition? What’s watery po
tatoes to a weeping woman who is al
ways in the dumps?
That’s about the way one’s husband
and one's children argue. It’s about
the way the matter strikes most of ub,
because we are not really so material,
after all. We care more for the spirit
than we do for the body, and the peo
ple v/e love best and enjoy most are
not those who look after our physical
comfort. It is those who minister to
our spiritual well-being. Any of us
would rather be fed on tender, sweet,
cheery companionship than on the best
cako that was ever concocted. The
real angels’ food is compounded of a
woman’s spirit, not made out of eggs
and flour and sugar.
It is better for a woman to neglect
her house than to neglect being with
her husband and children. It is better
for her to give them plainer food and
more of her society. It is better for
her to leave the kitchen sink unscrubbed
than to refuse the children's invitations
to go off to the park with them. It is
better for her to put fewer scallops on
her girls’ petticoats than it is for her
to be so much engrossed with making
their clothes she has no leisure to de
vote to making their characters.
Therefore, when a woman finds out
that she’s so busy with her domestic
affairs that she hasn’t any time for
anything else, and when she realizes
that she’s so tired and cross after her
day’s housework that she can’t laugh,
the sensible thing is to cut down the
housework until she gets it to the place
where she can look pleasant and act
pleasant. That’s the important thing.
And men make exactly the same mis
take. Many a man is so eager and in
tent on making money for his family
that he leaves himself no time in which
to be a companion to his wife and
children, and he comes home so deadly
tired from his day’s work that he’s as
cross as a sore-headed bear.
The money that Buch a -man makes
brings as little happiness to his family
as does the expert housekeeping of such
a woman.
Fathers and mothers and husbands
and wives owe the duty of cheerfulness
and good humor and pleasantness to
their families as well as that of provi
ding for their physical wants, and if
they must decide between the two,
those who devote themselves to pleas
antness choose the better part.
The truest, best and sweetest type
of the girl of to-day does not come
from the home of wealth. She steps
out from the house where is comfort
rather than luxury. She belongs to the
great middle class—that class which
has given us the best wifehood; which
has given helpmates to the foremost
men of our time; which teaches its
daughters the true meaning of lore;
which teaches the manners of the draw
ing-room and the practical life of the
kitchen, as well as teaches its girls the
responsibilities of wifehood and the
greatness of motherhood.
Price Goes After Feed Adultera
tors.
Atlanta Constitution.
Under directions of Commissioner of
Agriculture J. D. Price, three car-loads
of condemned feedstuffa were seized by
Sheriff Mangum at the National Ware
house Company in this city the other
day.
The stuff had been unearthed by Food
Inspector P. A. Methvin and was de
scribed by him in his report to Commis
sioner Price as one car-load of oat
screenings, one car-load of oat clippings
and one car-load of oat dust. These
cars were originally consigned to J. D.
Frazier & Co., of Atlanta, by C. M.
Snider & Co., of Chicago, but they were
rejected by the consignee on their ar
rival in this city. After that, they
were placed in storage in the ware
house of the National Warehouse Com-
p»py-
Tn the case of none of the three ears
was there any tag showing that the nec
essary inspection had been made or the
tax paid the State for such inspection,
ns required by law in the case of com
posite feedstuffa.
There was nothing for the Commis
sioner of Agriculture to do except to or
der the condemned feedstuff to be seized
by the sheriff and sold at public outcry,
as the law requires. The Commissioner
has had a number of such cases re
ferred to his attention lately and he is
determined to enforce the law rigidly
in the future. He said Saturday that
he hod observed a tendency on the part
of . a number of Western shippers of
feedstuffa to dump into this State im
possible composite feeds, made up of
almost everything that they should not
contain, in the hope of getting by the
State pure food authorities.
“I am going to show them,” declared
the Commissioner, “that they cannot
make a dumping-ground of Georgia to
get rid of their Bhoddy and adulterated
feeds.”
When asked what was understood in
the trade by oat dust, Mr. Price de
clared that it was the sweepings from
the oat threshing mills, and next to
nothing, so far as its food value was
concerned.
Johnson—Scott.
Enterprise-Gazette, 18th ult.
The wedding of Miss Maude S. John
son to Mr. Olin Pierce Scott, which oc
curred Dec. 10, was a pretty affair.
The home was beautifully decorated
throughout with Southern smilax. In
the living-room, where the ceremony
was performed, the color-scheme of
green and white was carried out. An
improvised altar, composed of ferns and
smilax with white tapers burning here
and there among them and tall pedes
tals holding white tapers, made a love
ly background for the bridal party.
Misses Ethel Coppedge and Mary
Biird were ribbon-bearers, and little
Mildred Grubbs ring-bearer. Just be
fore the ceremony Mrs. Wilbur F. Cul
pepper Bang "Just Before the Dawn,”
and “I Love You True,” accompanied
by Miss Alma Dunbar, piano, and Miss
Lena Hand, violin. To the strains of
Mendelssohn’s “Wedding March,”
played by Mrs. Culpepper, piano, and
Miss Hand, violin, the bridal party en
tered and stood beneath a large white
wedding bell, while Rev. Walter P.
Carmichael performed the ceremony in
a moBt graceful and impressive man
ner. During the ceremony Mrs. Cul
pepper and Miss Hand played “The
Flower Song.” Miss Annie Hooten
kept the wedding book, and Miss Julia
Coppedge presided over the punch
bowl.
Tho bride wore a lovely white coat
suit, with hat to match, and carried a
white bible showered with lilies of the
valley. Misses Coppedge and Baird
were lovely in white crepe de chine.
Mrs. Scott is the youngest daughter
of Mr. Marshall S. Johnson, and is a
lovely charracter, very beautiful and ac
complished.
Mr. Scott is a gentleman of sterling
character and a successful business
man, who is to be congratulated upon
winning this charming lady for his life
companion.
The possibility of having trouble with
Mexico calls attention to the vast influ
ence which wars have had on the histo
ry and development ot the United
States. To the War of Independence
we are indebted for the separation in
1776-83 from England and our advent
as a nation. Our commercial independ
ence dates from the second conflict with
England, that of 1812 16 Texas an
nexation in 1845 brought on the war of
1846-48 with Mexico, and this resulted
in the addition of New Mexico and Cali
fornia. The war of 1861-65 transformed
the Government from a league into a
nation, and made it an “indestructible
union of indestructible States,” while
that of 1898, which freed Cuba, ex
pelled Spain from this hemisphere and
extended our territory over to the bor
der of Asia, made us, in the jargon of
the day, a "world power.”
Long-Boykin.
Carrollton Freo Proas, 10th ult.
A brilliant wedding of last week was
that of Miss Helen Long and Mr. Shirley
C. Boykin, which occurred Thursday
evening at 6 o'clock, at the First Pres
byterian church.
The pulpit and altar had been covered
with a great pyramid of ferns, artistic
decorations with ferns and trailing
vines prevailing throughout the church,
and a beautiful scene was presented
when the bridal party entered and the
ceremony was performed by Rev. VV.
E. Dozier, the officiating minister.
After Miss Lucio Harris had sung
“All For You,” Dr. Claude Griffin and
Mr. Roy Mandevillo entered, followed
by Misses Elma Boykin and Alice
Weems. After them enmo Messrs. Jesse
Travis and Joe Aycock, followed by the
maids of honor, Misses Carrie nnd Mary
Long. Then the matron of honor, Mrs.
Frances Long, of Jasper, Ain., entered,
following whom came the lovely little
flower girls, Misses Viola Bass and Es
telle Veal, preceding tho bride, who
leaned on the arm of her father. Form
ing into a semi-eircle at tho altar, the
party was met by the groom with his
best man, Mr. B. F. Boykin, who came
in with the minister. Mendelssohn’s
“Wedding March” was rendered by
Miss Mayne Archer, Miss Oliver ac
companying her on tho violin. The
beauty of tho ceremony was enhanced
by the very pretty picture made against
the green background.
The bride is one of the most popular
members of tho social set, a young wo
man of rare beauty and accomplish
ments, and the youngest daughter of
Mr. H. YV. Lo.ig. The groom, the son
of Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Boykin, is well-
known in social and business circles,
boing the junior partner in the law firm
of Boykin & Boykin.
After tho ceremony a brilliant recep
tion was tendered the wedding party at
the elegant home of Mr. and Mm. C.
H. Stewart, on South street, following
which Mr. and Mrs. Boykin left on an
extended wedding trip to Florida.
No Dunning.
The treasurer of a certain church
happened into the Btore' of one of its
membors. The merchant, who had
pledged a very small sum, (though one
of the richest mun in the city,) said to
him, “When are you coming after my
subscription? I’ve been expecting you
to dun me for it for tho last month.
You know I promised you something
toward the pastor’s salary.”
“No, I did not know it,” said the
treasurer.
“Why, I did. I promised you—”
naming the amount.
The treasurer shook his head. “You
never promised me a cent, Mr. M
he said. “You promised that sum to
the Lord. It ia between you and Him.
I am tho treasurer of His church here,
and when you get ready to fulfill your
promise to Him you can bring it to me
as His steward, to be UBed in His work.
It is not my business to have to dun
you for it, as you seem to expect me to
do.”
Tho merchant fairly gasped: “See
here, Mr. Treasurer,” he said, "our
last treasurer went round and begged
for money right and left, all the time. ”
“Did he get it?” asked the treasu
rer.
“Well, no, not very easily, that’s a
fact.”
Before six months were over that
man had given nearly double his origi
nal subscription. He told tho conver
sation to others, and the rest of the
subscribers were influenced to pay up
promptly, too.
Let ua not forget our obligations to
God. __
Conversation had drifted more to the
ever-interesting subject of marriage.
The smoking room was full, and almost
every man had contributed something
out of his own personal experience to
the conversation.
Some said long engagements were
better than short ones, some held that
marriage was an utter failure, and
others that it was the only thing that
made life worth living.
One perky little person insisted that
a man should be “master in his own
house,” but was violently opposed by a
regular giant, who believed in "leaving
things to the wife,” and so on.
This subject, however, was side
tracked by somebody observing that it
was curious to note how little men al
most invariably married large women.
At this, a very small, unhappy looking
little man suddenly burst into life.
"No, sir; you are wrong,” he pro
tested mildly. “In my opinion, it is
the big women who marry the little
men.”
Mother Shipton’s Prophecy.
Columbus Enquiror-Sun.
Seven years before Columbus discov-
e|ed America, in the year 1485, what is
known as Mother Shipton’s Prophecy
was published in England. This proph
ecy, which was written in rhyme, fore
told events which would take place in
the world’s history, and about all she
predicted has come to pass save one,
and that the world would come to an
end in 1881. The prophecy follows:
CarrinRPH without horsps shall aro.
Ami accidents fill tho world with woe;
Around the world thoughts shall fly
In tho twinkling of an eye.
Waters shall yet more wonders do.
Now Htrantre. yet shall bo true.
Tho world upside down shall ho,
And (rold ho found at root of tree.
Through hills man almll rido
And no horso nor nsH be at his side.
Under water man Hhall wnlk.
Shall rido, shall sloop, Hhall talk,
In tho air men shall ho Hcnn,
In white, in black, in preen,
iron in tho water shall float
As easy ns n wooden hnnL
Gold Hhall ho found 'mid Btone,
Inn land that's yot unknown.
Firo and water Hhall wonders do,
England shall at last admit n Jew.
Ami this world to nn end shall como
In eighteen hundred nnd eighty-one.
Reading the foregoing, one is im
pressed that Mother Shipton saw with
prophetic vision, in very many instances
nt least. We have seen tho carriages
that go without horses—we see them
every day in the automobile; accidents
have como that filled the world with
woe; thoughts around the world fly in
the twinkling of an eye, the telegraph
and the telephone, both wire and wire
less, being the means of communication;
men have walked and talked and slept
under wator, the submarine vessels en
abling them to do so; men have been seen
flying through the air in their aeroplanes;
iron floats upon the water, in our great
ocean steamers of various kinds, and
practically every other prediction made
has como to pass except tho last.
It is of interest to read this prophecy
and contemplate with what accuracy
Mother Shipton foretold what would
come to pass.
More Important.
It is more important for woman to be
good tlmn man. Her influence upon
tho children is far greater than that of
the father. Furthermore, children as
a rule inherit their moral qualities more
from their mothers than from their
fathers. Consequently, for a boy to
mako a good, level-headed, upright cit
izen, it is important for him to have a
good mother.
The better we can make the mothers
of our land, the better we make our
country. The old Roman mother’s in
fluence was acknowledged as a most
potent one upon the patriotism of the
people.
Yet our women are not altogether
angels. The more angelic they may be,
however, the more will the race of man
kind improve morally. While the fu
ture destinies of man rest so largely
with tho women of tho land, don’t for
get it is the country woman—the wives
and daughters of the farmors—to whom
we must look for our temporal solution
more than any other class of women.
They are the moulders of the true rep
resentative character of the country
more than any other. But for the con
stant infusion of good, healthy country
blood, our cities would stagnate and
die. It is upon the honest motherhood
of the rural districts that the country
must depend mainly for the true, sturdy
citizenship that must save us from the
anarchical tendencies and influences of
our large centers of population.

"Mamma,” said William, in
disgust, “do I look aa if I had
