New Year Thoughts
This is our first issue in the New Year
and with it we wish all our readers and
friends a happy and prosperous year,
We hone to make ourselves an ever
pleasant and welcome weekly visitor to
every household in the county before
this year closes;
New year resolutions are made by the
thousands at this season, and hy the
thousand they are broken in a fortnight.
Henry Ward Beecher once wisely and
tiuly rentalked that a good resolution
was never out of place even if it is bro¬
ken on the day of tlie making. He evi¬
dently believed io the old saw, ‘‘If at
first you don't succeed, try again.’ We
agree with Beecher.
Last Sunday while we wereoD our way
to church we overtook two young
tnen who were crushing fiercely some
chewing gum. Between the chews they
managed to inform me that they had
made new' resolutions and “sworn off’
from the tobacco habit. That is well
enough but we just rise to remark that it
takes good grit to conquer the tobacco
habit when once it is contracted, This
we say from experience. In connection
with tobacco chewing and ‘swearing off’
from it. we would suggest that there
would be nothing amiss in the young la¬
dies, w ho indulge in the chewing gum
habit, to make some resolutions concern
ing it.
It, is net only the young who form
New Year resolution*.. We have h avtl
those whose locks have been whitened by
the snows of many winte's forming their
plan?! to “turn over a new leaf as they
call it. Bat it is rarely the case that the
old manage to pull themselves from the
ruts even though they do make honest
resolutions
By the wav did you ever notice how
much smoother things worked for the
first three months of the year than at
other times. This we judge is because
everybody starts with the new year to do
much better in future.
It is our hope that another new year
may find us itli happier and wiser than
we are now, Happier because we can
look back ovei our one twelve month
with the sweet consciousness of duty
well done, and wiser because we have
ook advantage of the opportunities for
improvement that have come within our
reach.
PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS
by Bible class on Death of John
W. Haygaod-Read and Adopt¬
ed Dec. 1 SUt, 1SS7, at Meth¬
odist Church.
God in his infinite wisdom has
seen fit to remove from us our be¬
loved friend and class mate, Mr. J.
W. Haygood.
Mr. Haygood was one of our
best and most punctual members,
and had the abiding love and res¬
pect of the entire class and school.
Not only was he a model Sunday
school scholar, hut he was ever
ready to faithfully discharge any
duty to his church or fellowman.
Now that he has by death been
called to his rest, how touch pleas¬
ure it gives us to point to his life
as an example worthy in every res
peet of emulation.
In view of the loss we have sus¬
tained by the demise of our friend
and class mate, and of the still
heavier loss sustained by those
nearest and dearest to him, be it
Resolved, That it is only a just
tribute to the memory of the de¬
parted to say that, in regretting his
removal from our midst, we mourn
for one who was truly worthy of
our love and friendship.
Resolved, That we sincerely con¬
dole with the family of the deceas¬
ed on the dispensation with which
it has pleased Providence to afflict
them, and commend them for con¬
solation to Him who orders all
things for the best, and whose ear
is always touched by the cries of
the fatherless and widow, and
whose chastisements are meant in
mercy.
Resolved, That this heartfelt
testimonial of our sympathy and
sorrow be spread upon the minutes
of this Sunday school, and that a
copy be transmitted to the family
of our departed friend by the sec¬
retary. Respectfully submitted,
R. J. Guinn,
