New Year means a new oppor
tunity, another chancel
Everything will get better if
we will only work to that end.
(—
Here’s hoping the new city
fathers will give us a white way
for the public square.
Delay is dangerous, we have al
ways heard, but not always to the
! : <|uor dealer.
Is it a sign that whisky violat
ors are on the increase in North-)

arrest and whisky eases are great

cr numbers than heretoforet
EVERYBODY TOGETHER,
LET’S 00!
Whatever the faults and mis
takes ol' the year 1922, let us put
them all aside, take the good lroin
the past year and build for bet
ter things in 1H22. ‘'Forgetting
the tilings that are behind, and
lvuciung forward to the things
i.hal are before”, i t us press on
J’c.r bigger and better tilings iu
the new year.
With the sense of a new oppor
tunity, let us enter the new year,
fall ol determination to live more
completely and express our best
solves more fully and unqualified
ly than in 1922, in the light of a
fontideut hope that larger things
are iu store for us as indivduals
i as a county and people, if we
will put forth the effort.
Looking back over the past
; cur's achievements in this coun
ty, one can see marked and yet
steady advancement along all
lines, i’he work of construction
lus gone on, good foundations
have been laid. Churches have
mi de great advances in member
-4 hip and buildings; schools have
lit en strengthened, new modern
t wildings have gone up in sever
ed sections and a keener and deep
er interest has been shown over
previous years, in the young life
of our county, in its development
and welfare. Co-operation has
been exemplified in a better way
4 m.mg the farmers and business
men and among the farmers them
. us well ns among the busi
iuks anti professional men them
tuclvcH. And we have come to learn
lit least, our a b e’s of co-opera
tion in reading the results wher
ever practiced.
With all these good attitudes,
conscious co-operative spirit,
gmnl foundations laid, we have in
3922, as a people autl a county,
a’l opportunity that has never yet
been presented us for real prog
». ss.
in the light of the past achieve
ments, let us at the very begin
twig of the new year prepare our
*t Ives for a bigger development,
ii’ul plan for bigger things n i
♦ ke our coats off, put our shuol
<;en. our hcuus and our V.e*i
together for the greatest e nr w
m our history.
Here's to the New Year *n
W; lkcr o-—’ty. with nil of its

The povi ruiiiFnt pike from La
fayette to Chattanooga is one of
•! e most travelled road in the ru
r;*l sections of the South, so said
a high government official some
ime since. Well, about the poor
's) provisions are made for it of
any road we know of. Let us get
busy and get a larger appropria
tion for this road and get it in
shape. It is a link in the Dixe
Highway and Chattanooga, La
fayette, Summerville and Rome
are vitally interested in it. We
cmi get an appropriation for this
road if we want it bad enough no
matter what the objections are or
who are the objectors. Let ns go
after this projeer for all we are
worth from Chattanooga to Rome
and we’ll get it. What do you
say 1
Witnout a resolution, a pur
pose, a goal, very little is done
Therefore don't shy at New s ear
resolutions. Resolve and then put
he resolution to work.
Tin* aristocraery of the Court,
which may be in its delay, may
probably have to give way to a
!)< niocraey of a little quicker dis
patch of business.
Churches and schools—these
i re foundation stones in our civil
i/at ion. Then let us work harder
lor better churches and schools
during 1922.
No matter how utterly you
have failed in 1922, you can greet
1923 with a strong determination
to make progress, and that's the
attitude wortli having.
