gTV VIV EFET eSO TeeeT,
L By BERTHA DIXON mu‘
The New Year came in with
a bang—it’s still banging. No
doubt but some of the resolu
tions have been broken, but it is
good to have good intentions—
if but for a season. Next year if
the price is right maybe we can
pick up where we left off and
begin anew.
But we already know we have
to depend on ourselves or our
energies to get our work done.
Our high ideals which exist only
in thought were not developed
by wealth, position, rank or job.
It has to be your own sweet self.
Association with people who
live above suspicion of doing
anything wrong, people who
have no moral debts, those who
atone each day for errors they
didn’t intend doing—they must
be good moral citizens and it
seems it would be good to cul
tivate friendships with them
and we wouldn’'t have to wait
for a New Year to make resolu
tions. And another thing the
worth of a human being can’t be
figured out. We should go as far
as we can in cultivating ideal
friendships with pure and noble
souls, and leave the rest up to
Heaven. Your efforts will not
have been in vain.
Mr. and Mrs. Lee Reeves of
East Point were Thursday guests
of Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Brown.
Mrs. F. J. Brown entertained
members of the WSCS Circle of
the New Hope Methodist Church
on Thursday afternoon.
Meet our new neighbors, Mr.
Allgood, Mrs. Allgood and four
little Allgoods. They moved to
our community a few months
ago and are living nearby—just
across Cotton Indian Creek on
a newly named road—Freeman
Road to be exact. Named for
some outstanding colored people
who proved worthy of having
their road named for them.
They had been here a short
time when about the first thing
they did was to choose a church.
Maybe they belong to your
church—search the register of
your church and see if their
names are there.
They bought a farm. It has a
small frame building—very nice
—they live in it. It sits on a
knoll in a woodland area over
looking a ravine which has a
spring that furnished water for
the families living there for a
long time, but recently there has
been a deep well dug, but both
facilities make it a nice farm
home.
But one thing Mr. Allgood has
done recently cannot be dis
missed as an obscure incident.
It is this: He is employed at
the Delta Air Station. He “com
mutes” daily in a little station
wagon which does not look like
a Rolls Royce, or a Cadillac. But
the wheels still turn pretty good
—in fact they were turning so
fast not very long ago when he
lost control and they ran over
a hog in the road and killed it
—dead. He was traveling on
schedule—he had a short time
to get to his work. He didn’t
know who owned hogs—he was
not going to leave a hog he has
killed lying in or beside the road.
He didn’t know what direction
to go to find the owner. He
dragged the hog in his 'station
wagon and set out to find the
owner. He finally found out
where the owner lived but they
were not at home. He called his
mother long distance and told
her about his troubles. He
seemed to know where to get
advice. No doubt she had told
him what to do in time of trouble
before. Again he set out to do
something nice about the hog
he had killed. She advised him
to bring it to College Park and
have it dressed. He seemed to
have it nicely done at a curing
house—anyway it was well done.
Late in the evening he set out
to meet the owner of the hog
again. He didn’t know how
rough it was going to be, but he
brought home the hog that
had given him such a rough
time. He seemed such a nice per
son—all dressed up in clothes
that would do to wear to the
inauguration—a little derby like
hat and a personality that would
melt any kind of a grudge that
one would hold. Mr. Allgood
seems to be all his name implies
and here’s one who thinks our
little dirt road should now he
named: “A little Jericho Road”.
