I 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, J. S. Daniell, H. D. Terrell, Committee. Conyers, Ga., Dec. 18th, 1887. By motion it was requested that the above resolutions be published in the city papers.
