1923 AND 1924
Without any doubt, Walker coun
i.y has made more progress the
oast year than any previous year
'm her history. There has been felt
•■.deeper county consciousneit and
a a result the people have grasp
ed the idea of development as a
nounty. •
Factionalism and self-interest
acs given away to a generous
reeling and a deep desire to see
-arr section develop as she is ca
llable of, in constructive ways.
United, the counity stands upon
in era of undreamed of progress;
united we will go forward and
rake our rightful place as a unit
.it our state and Southern life.
Time and again we have stated
that this county is an ideal one
from the standpoint of rich poten
tial resources of every kind, and ,
also that in this section is found
•.he purest Anglo-Saxon blood, uti
-orrt.iuninated by foreign strain,
in/1 with our natural endowments
stTmental possibilities, and our vi
gorous material strength, in the
midst of a section capable of and
waiting for the direction of a pure
mind and willing, consecrated
marts and hands, there is no rea
son why Walker county should
tot forge ahead at a rapid rate.
Looking forward to 1924 we
•ant to see an already strong sen
timent for respect for and obser
vance of law, made stronger fend
embracing every community. The
evils of infractions of laws, the
tissipation of powers in enter
prises that tear down character,
business and community life and
that place self-interest aiul greed
—these we want to see melt before
« firm sentiment for Righteous
ness. To this end it is encumbent
upon the Christian churches in
the county to make preparations
fbr large advances to make the
power of the Gospel snd the char
tcter-building institution. the
ehurch, an agency of greater po
tency in the lives of the people.
All members of the Christiun
hunches of thu county :-hou)d an
swer the call of the church and
rally to her, drink deep at her
shrine and live the life of Right
eousness in the community. To the
ehurch is committed the great
task of saving the world, and if
tic world in Walker county is to
be made safe and saved, it will
<®m« through the church. the in
stitution of God. In the New Year
nifllutisM let tho churv'. if yrur
choice have a large place. A migh
ty turning of the people to the
church would moan a tower a
•ainst law violations and *.»;• right
eousness this county lias not
known. Like men let u find our
place in this greatest of .11 insti
utkms and go to work v i:d a will.
Great progress is see . .he past

tious and bawl working county
school superintendent; let us take
advantage of these good forces
working for our school interest
and co-operate with these forces
and results will follow in better
schools.
By virtue of our position it may
be said that we unduly believe in
advertising. Be this as it may, we
are willing to be branded as an
enthusiast for advertising because
we see its results every day, and
we do not hesitate'to say that one
of the needful things for Walker
county is a sane, judicious, honest,
advertising campaign in which
her resources, her utremgth and
her wonderful offerings to good
citizens may be made known to the
outside world. We have everything
to offer, but we are simply too
modest or indifferent when it
comes to telling the world about
our good things. Every citizen
should become weH-versed in the
facts of our county and be abk to
intelligently tell strangers and
prospects of our records and what
we have to offer for substantial
new citizens.
The basis of Walker county’s
prosperity is her agricultural in
terests. These interests have been
neglected by business men and civ
ic organizations t 00,,, long in this
county. The post few years deeper
interest has been taken in the
fanner, but the agricultural inter
ests of Walker county are our
greatest business assets, and the
time has come when full, sympa
thetic, co-operative, intelligent and
continued interest must be taken
in the farmer and his problems.
The farmer the p/wt few year.} ha*
been hit hard, and all he asks is
a chance to make good. Me must
be given that chance, and in 1924
all business interests must make
the agricultyral interests their
own, amd work and plan and co
operate for the. success of the
farm and. farm life of fhw county.
The diversified progbatp must be
put into operation, in as full force
in 1924 as is consistent with prep
arations and our ability to carry
such a program out,, success fully,
and to do thi* the business man
and the farmer must, join hands in
co-operation.
The future is bright and an ideal
hangs before ua with, a bister that
has not shone before. The oppor
tunity is ours if we but gnu:) it.
We have only touched a few angles
of the problem js suggestions of
what 1924 may mean to us if we
will but catch the vision, put sel
fishness out of the way and pull
off our coats and go to work.
Let us make 1924, a record
breaker in all good endeavor!

save. JM
In 1924—Every man, woman

BACKACHE IS i
| DISCOURAGING j
BUT NOT SO BAD IF YOU KNOW
HOW TO REACH THE CAUSE
Nothing more discouraging than a
' constant backache. Lame when you
awaken, pains pierce you when you '
bend or lift. It’s hard to work or to I
rest. Backache often indicates bad
kidneys and calls for prompt treat
ment. The best recommended remedy
is Doan’s Pills. Profit by this nearby
resident’s experience:
R. A. Brown, farmer, R. 2, Trion,
Ga., says: “Exposure to all kinds of
weather and hard work on the farm
weakened my kidneys and had me
feeling badly all over. My kidneys be
came sluggish and due to the excess
of water in my system my feet and
.ies swelled so I couldn’t get my
shoes on. The kidney secretions con
tained a thick sediment. Whenever I
stooped, a catch seized me in the
small of my back. When I got down
I couldn’t get up again and my back
was so stiff mornings I could hardly
get out of bed and the muscles felt
drawn. A neighbor recommended
Doan’s Pills and I made up my mind
to try them. One box of Doan’s cured
me entirely of the attach'”
Price 60c at all dealers. Don’t sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy—Get f
Doan’s Pills the same that Mr.
Brown had. Foster-Millburn Co.,
