To its numerous readers it
extends a hand of cordiul new

prosperity.
In this year, which we be¬

we hope to tnako the paper
superior in every respect to its
past achievements and with the
dawn, of the new century—
should we be permitted, to see
it—we hope to be able to point

general growth and prosperity
of the people and the town and

The New Year,
The new year has started in
with a rush. A feeling of con¬
fidence pervades every line of
business, as far as we are able
to judge, and the prospect for
general prosperity has not been
brighter for a long lime, The
people owe less and have more
cash on hand and hotter assur¬
ances for making or securing
still more. The avenues of
trade >»ra still active and there is
a general activity that is vory
encouraging. The Weekly is
more than proud of this and
hopes that the people of tills
community may reap the full
benefits to he derived from the
conditions cited. We would sug
gest just here that the erection
of a cotton factory at this place
this year, so that it might be¬
gin opet iiious with the begin¬
ning of the new century would
be a lit ting close to the old one
and a l.is'ing and beneficial
blessing to our people and city .
We bops (lust this suggestion
moo. be fruitful of good to (.Ion
■ ers before the close of the year.
OUR ADVERTISERS.
We call the attention of our
readers to our advertisers—We
have a splendid collection of
reprosentat.ive business men in
our columns this weeic and
each of them commence the
new year with bright, prospects
ahead. They all have good
large stocks and are making
prices that no other county

City Ordinances.
We are requested to call at¬
tention to the fact that there
are city ordinances prohibiting
fist- or reckless driving, hitch
| big to st ade trees, obstruction
to streets and sidewalks, nui¬
sances, jumping on and off
cars etc.
These ordinances are all of
much importance and will be
rigidly enforced during the pres
out year. It is also to he re¬
membered that there is an or¬
dinance to bo observed by all
bicycle riders, It defines the
limits and provides othetwise
for the public safety, A tte 11 -
tion is called to these ordinan¬
ces that the people may not
blindly violate them.
It is the intentioa of the pres¬
\ ent city officials to enforce the
laws of the city and othenvise
serve in their public capacity

correct as he could make it and
he went to meet his God with
a clear conscience,
