Baptist Church Notes Arthur Harrison Christmas is over and we now look towards the new year. Some how, people greet each new year with optimism; there is evidence of hopefulness in the attitude of most to the coming of a new year. That is well, for if we can adopt that attitude, the chances are we shall make efforts to make the new year a better year than the one just passed. If we are re ally willing to learn lessons from the experiences of the old year, surely the new year will be happy and successful. Let us all greet the New Year hopefully. At the service on Christmas morning a new Bible was pre sented to the church for use in the pulpit: by the Matt e Par rish Circle of Woman’s Mission ary Society. Mrs. T. J. Bacon is the Circle leader: she handed the Bible to the pastor, and he thanked the members on behalf of the church, and then reading the Christmas scripture from the hew Bible, offered a dedicatory prayer. At the close of the service, two new members were received into the fellowship of he churrh. Let us di make a good start in the New Year and keep it up week by week and month by month. “As mountain travelers at some resting place Are fain to pause, their distant path to trace, Bathed in the purple haze, their eyes yet scan The clustering homestead where the path began. The joyuous stream that slaked their eager thrist, The turning point whereon their vision burst, A world of glory, never dreamed before— E’en so the New Year bids us pause once more, Sweet memory's softening influ ence to feel, While at the wayside cross she bids us kneel: Then the brave hearts serener heights ascend, Where the sunlight and deep peace forever blend.” A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.

Waldo Bradley Editors Family In Auto Wreck On Christmas day the editor and his family was in an auto wreck or collision in the city of Savannah. Ws had gone to the city to spend Christmas with a sister and on our way to her house and while stopped at a traffic light at West Broad and Broughton we had the misfortune of “being in the way” of a drunken negro. We were knocked across the street and had damages to our car of more than one hundred dollars, to say nothing of being scared out of our wits. The negro, Joe Hall was given a sentence of ninety days on Mon day morning. He got time and we got a torn up automobile. We are thankful to know that no one was injured in our car. We will manage to get our car repair ed and will overcome our wreck. The sad part of it was that the negro was not able to help us re pair our car. In fact there was at least a half dozen cases tried in Police Court on Monday where some drunken driver had run into or over some other fellow and in each instance the fellow that was in the wrong was poor as Jobs Turkey and didn’t have a dime to help pay the expenses of repairing the car that he was the cause of being torn up. We hope to see the day come when Georgia will have a law that requires each and eve y driver of an automobile to carry liability insurance, then when some sorry drunken driver runs into you and demolishes your car you will have some redress. As it is there is nothing to do but grin and bear it. Weather Has Been Mighty Cold Here During the past few days the weather in and around this neck of the woods has been terribly cold. Those who were without wood or coal have been suffer ing from the intense cold. But to every bitter there comes a sweet, and while it has been mighty cold and disagreeable to some of us, to others it has been a welcome visitor as it enabled them to kill their hogs and save their meat.
