THt NEW YEAR.
Thin in the lirnt innur of The Hernhl

have carefully ofM»ne<l up a few boinIlM
of white pftfM'r upon which to print thin
iiwue- carefully, we wild, bm-ausJ white

nn nearer an money itaelf which in a
pretty strong statement for these tiincn.
For more than half a century The
HernM has leva making its apiK*arnnee
week after week. Tarrying in its col
unins a faithful chronicle of community
oventa —a more • <r lean welcome visitor
In the hqmes of our people. Wlmt pftenn
of gladness, what. dirge* of sorrow, lie
buried in itn rnunty fites! ft may neem
a simple thing to embalm in print the
everyday happening* that fall under the
editor'n eye,, nnd at tinien you may have
teased tlm paper aside with the con
temptuous ri'inark that * * there 'n nothing
in it” Hut always there has been
something in it of interest to some one.
A two line notice of the arrival of a
bnhy nmv havo meant nothing to you,
but it meant much to the proud father
end the crooning mother. A few linen
making brief mention of the death of
S child may not have touched you, but
over tho nrhing hearts of grieving pa
rents it cant n shadow that will never
bo lifted. You may have felt no throb
of pride in tho linos tolling that some
ambitious t>oy was making good in n
distant city, but a proud mother cut out
tho item and laid it away Ix-twecn the
loaves of tho family bible. Or there is
a dipping, now yellow with age, giving
an account of a wadding in the dear,
bygone days, but toadorly kept in the
little box of heart treasures that was
found after mother had gone to her
flr.nl rest
Don ’t tell us that tho old volumes of
Tho Herald do not contain a wealth of
memories still held sacred in many
hearts. You know they do.
8o today we write the beginning of
tho story of 1021—tho opening lines in
this record of fifty-two chapters. It may
bo n wonderful, glorious yenr, or it may
bo a sad, wearying one; but whatever it
lie, the chronicle will bo written. And
when wo write ‘ * Finis ’' at tho end of
tho last chapter wo hope tho record will
tell of Wonderful progresn and abound
ing prosperity for Nownau ami Coweta
county.

FRIDAY LUNCH CLUB.
The Inst meeting of ti e Friday Lunch
(Tub*for the old year was in many re-
sper-tn one of the most enjoyable held
since the organ i rat ion of the Hub. Col.
Garland M. Jones was chairman, and
after the dinner was over nnnuonced that
he would call upon mrmbers present,
without warning, for nn expression of
their views ns to the outlook fof 1021,
and some very clever talks were made
by several of the guests present. In
troducing the program of the day Col.
Jones gave nn interesting review of the
past year, which was so well received
and so timely that we will undertake
to reproduce his remarks here for the
liencfit of those who were not privileged
to hear him. He spo*ke ns follows—
' ‘ When I was called upon to take
charge of this 'case’ today I realized
at once that there was before us a very
sick patient; one who is .105days
• Id, and has Icm* than 12 hours yet to
live; one who is in the agony of death;
whose blood pressure is very high; whose
respiration is poor; whose pulse is slow
ami depressed; whose tempernture is far
Ixdow normol, every symptom indicating
ti>at he can barely live his allotted time,
and must soon go hence into the forgot
ten valley of departed years. However,
as we gather around this festive lioard
and watch the last hours of our patient,
let me tell you this follow who dies
tonight at 12 was not n very bad sort
of fellow after all. He wns just human,
even as you and I. He was born into
thin world with n silver spoon in his
mouth, if over one camo into the world
thus equipped. In the spring of his
youth he wns surrounded by more luxury
than any of his predecessors. In the sum
mer of his young manhood he reveled
in wealth and abundnnre such ns wns
never liefore known in the history of
tho world. In the early autumn of his
rnnftirity ho was still prosperous nnd suc
cessful, but in tho winter of old age
misfortuno overtook him, an it has many
liefore him, nnd ho lies before us today
with his fortuno wiped out, his crops
and his business ventures failures, un
able to meet his obligations—his profits,
>en, a large i>ercentage of his values,
shrunken nnd lost. Almost in his dy
ing hour, a penniless old man.
"But this fellow was not always thus.
We enjoyed to tho fullest extent his
childhood, his youth, and his young man
hood. He brought to us much happiness,
and abundant prosperity. More than
three-fourths of his life amongst us luis
been filled with joy, success nnd pl«U-
ant memories; for it has only lieen about
fiO of his 366 days which have been
marked by failure, depression and gloom.
During his life he brought us blessings
too numerous to mention. I>*t me. name
just a few in passing: The Coweta
(’handier of Commerce, well organized,
equipped, and rendering efficient service
to our confmunity; the Country Club,
now nearing completion, where all can
enjoy hours of social intercourse and
recreation; the hospital, well subscribed
and organized, only awaiting the lift
ing of this temporary depression to 1m*
launched as a reality; permanent hard-
surfaced roads bring actively laid
throughout the county under Govern
ment nnd State supervision; the Friday
Lunch Club, a band of good fellows who
love to meet together for an hour of social
intercourse, nnd have shown by their con
duct that they hold the interests of their
city ami county dear to heart. And,
above all, these things, together with
the (ires of trial the past few months,
hn\'e brought us all f loner together
have caused us to look not so much .upon
ourselves, but taught us to consider our
fellow-man, and aid in lienring one an
other’s burdens, which we are so man
fully doing at this time.
“Therefore, as I look upon him ns he
breathes almost his last, I must say to
you that Old Man 1920 was not half bad,
but was more than three-fourths good.
Let us take courage for the future, be
cause as he goes from us there will lie
born into tho world a babe—born in a
hovel ns it were, and not in a palace,
ns he wna—struggling in infancy with
debt, depression and despondency. But
these struggles will develop strength, vi
tality, which will tell beforo this child
has progressed far toward maturity.”
