.lust from the Mountains.
The ohi year is past and gone
forever with its mistakes. They
have turned a new leaf glittering
with apples of silver in pictures of
gold. All have entered upon a new
highway paved with good inten¬
tions and fair promises. That old
page is mighty ugly and yet it is a
part of the book that all are mak¬
ing. In that final day the books
will all be opened and the Great
Judge ol the quick and dead will
pass upon the recoid of all. A
new set of resolutions are made to
be broken like pie cilist. I he race
is now on. It first looks like the
swift like the hare will win but
they will soon come to fields of
clover and wish to take a nap. but
it is the tortoise that generally wins
the race.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Williams,
Flowery Branch, passed on their
way from a visit in beautiful Na
coochee during the Yuletibe. 1 hey

bestos flood and a good judge of
bad licker. Ilis wife gave us n
piece of cake and some fancy candy
and the little girl gave us a nice
Indies handkerchief. They are al¬
ways glad to have their names in

All .ba.il to the new year! Let
us givve him a glad welcome, and
hope for a belter one than the last.
Lets make our lives a success and
write in our memory and con¬
science the words “Well Done’' so
long as we .ire on the stage ot ac
tion. Why is it that life seems
more important as one grow s older ?
Let the cigarette boy with his cap
on the back of his head answer the
question or at least study about it
and perhaps he will catch inspira¬
tion and make a man of himself.
Where is the adolescent boy that
promises to surpass, or even equal
the achievements of “daddy” : V e
are no pessimist, but it is plain to
us that something is wrong with
the boys of our circle.
Nearly six thousand years ago a
stalwart young man and a beauti¬
ful young woman lived near the
banks of the Euphrates river I'hey
wore no clothes but needed food
tor their bodies—eating ppies
peaches, plums, figs, dates, and
cro p ica 1 fruits, and could have
eaten of a fruit and lived
The young lady was so amiable j
that she associated with the beasts, i
sang to the birds and played
llie snakes. A fallen Angel
jealous ol the happ,ness and
ot the young people, and catching
the young lady absent from hei
fiancee, influenced the snake to
place belore her mind wisdom,
Obeying the persuasions of the
stuike she and the young man ate
of tile wrong food. That evening
a great judge walked among the
trees to see wljat his son and daugh¬
ter was doing. Finding the pair
had hid behind some big trees the
judge drove them away and they
ultimately became (lie cliff dwellers
and mound builders and their food
was changed to the herbs of the
field. We think it would have
been more healthy lor the body to
have eaten different fruits than to
drink coffee, eat corn bread and
hog meat. We never see a snake
but that we bruise his bead Tor
fear he bites our heed, nor do wi
ever pass a graveyard but that vve
think eternal life would have been
better than death.
