ROUTE 2
By Leon Livingston.
I [am stan-ing the new year
right by writ.ug to the North
Georgian. Ho* I will finish re
mains to be seen.
Christmas passed very quietly
in this part, with the exception
of several fire crackers being fir
ed on Sunday —Christmay day—
which we j not approve af, it
not appearing that this a very
appropriate way to celebrate the
birthday of the Lord, or to ob
serve the Sabbath.
With the Via.vn of the new year
we hope to see times gel better,
and this will surely happen if the
people will improve their ways.
It is no wonder we are having
hard times. If we will stop to
consider a little we will readily
see that the times are much bet
ter than tte people are now.
Mr. S C Williams and family

spent Wednesday with Mr. G W
Beavers and family.
Mr. Will Worley and family
and Mr. J II Worley and family
-pent a day or two with relatives
around Cuba last week.
Miss M.. rtle Pir !e, and Mrs.
Elsie Wai.ace, of Atlanta, and
Miss Edith Pnkle of -Vaycross,
spent Christmas with their fath
er, Mr. J M Pirkle,
Mr. T A Wallace and wife, of
near Duektown, were visiting
Mr. M T Wallace and wife one
day last week.
Mrs. Lena Martin and children
spent Sunday at Ben Payne’s.
Miss Wallace who has
been spending several days with
relatives here returned;to her
home in Atlanta Su.ic.ay,
One of the greatest and most
humane acts commi ted by Pres
ident Hard.ng, since he has been
tJhief Executive, was the pardon
ing on Christmas day of the
many prisoners serving sentence
for violation of the espionage
law. In particular we appreciate
the releas * of Eugene V Debs
and David T Blodgett, This is
another instance of “truth crush
ed to earth will rise again.’’ It
seems that the chief desire of the
last admi istration was to crush
the truth, as so morn of it was
done, but it is risi g again and
will continue to rise until it is all
risen agai and then -vill the la
bor of those of those of the past
have been rpent in vain.

NEW YEARS.
The old year is [dead—long live the new ! And with the
new comes the chance to start afresh, the chance to profit
by the mistakes of another year and rebudd the new' on a
firmer basis of understanding.
Some student of psycho-analysis claim that we wake eve
ry morning a differson person than that of the day before.
Nothing that we do, nothing that happens to us, but leaves
its impression on our personality, either to our detriment or
to our betterment as the case may be: We cannot escape
the results of our own deliberate actions though we may
think we do because the result is obvious. But our motives
as well as our actions leave their indellible stamp on our per
sonality, which is in reality the sum total of our mental,
physical and spiritual being. On this personality depends the
individual’s success or failure in life.
But how fortunate it is tnat the peisonality is susceptible
to change, that it is in our power to impress it those things
that give it a strength and power that will counterbalance
the pull of mistakes and weaknesses. There are those who
say, “Oh what’s the use. I was born that way and can’t help
it.” They have the conception that their personality, or char
acter if you choose to call it so, is a fixed and static thing,
while in reality they have only tapped the resources of that
personality. They do not know themselves. There was never
more wisdom packed in a phrase than, “Know thyself.”
The new year is a good time to take inventory of yourself.
Review your experience and search out the mistakes and
weaknesses of preceding years, so that you will know them
and can avoid a deeper grooving of the impression by not
repeating them. Use your mistakes as a stepping stone to
something better.- Everybody makes them or “why the
eraser” as someone has remarked. But avoid repeating
them as each repetition wears the impression deeper until
you have formed a rut of habit. Recognizing the wrong,
you are on the way to discovering the right. A good habit
when formed is just as insistent as a bad one.
Begin the new year with one resolution to search out what
in your experience and experience and observation has been
to the detriment of your well being, your personality, and
start a habit in the opposite direction. Remember you have
the power in yourself to impress good habits of thought and
action on that malleable thing which is your personality so
that it will grow in strength and power and bring to you the
only real success —that of a good purpose accomplished. But
also be warned tnat bad habit of thought and action work the
reverse. The newyear is the time to begin a little research
work. Know yourself. >
I wish it were possible to convince parents of the real ivick
edness they commit in spoiling their children. If only the
parents suffered for their crime at least punishment would
fall where it belongs. But it is always the children who suf
fer, some of them, depending on the nature of the child, for
all the rest of their lives. The child has the stigma of being
spoiled placed upon it very early in life. Sometimes, after
a long hard struggle he comes out on the other side and
proves his real worth, but oft-times the struggle changes
what might have been a very pleasant outlook on life into a
very bitter one. And this is all brought about because the
parents must indulge their own feelings and fail to show con
sideration for the child. Oft times too, they sacnfice much
of the love and respect for their elders. Parents should real
ly consider the serious side of this matter, for it most cer
tainly has its serious side.
Someone made the remark the other day that complete
happiness is a condition never attained by a human being.
We all have highlifts of feeling when happiness seems to be
ours, but they are so brief and when they are over we real
ize that even at the time there was a tiny cloud we were feel
ing, sub-consciously. In a way it may seem a rather deplo
ra Me fact that man can never gain complete happiness, for
the individual, perhaps, it is deploiable, but for humanity it
is undoubtedly the fundamental reason for progress. Happi
ness means content, content means standing still and stand
ing still means retrograding.
