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-) west Georgia when the records of arrest and whisky eases are great ly on the increase, or is it a sign lhat the whisky offenders are be ing hunted out and caught in larg 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 n —t '.'ry - m 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. % * I > i ruKvrv-nvK vs \rs ago i 1 Dec. 30 1H97. | i Urlovv will he foiiuil items or news published In the Walker County Messenger twenty-live years ago which will he of interest to the Messenger readers today.
