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 0 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.

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.

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. NO- 1
