A poet once said: "A man
may have a thousanb friends and
not one to spare. But if he hath
one enemy, he will meet him ev
erywhere.” Doubtless, this poet
never any truer words
than these; for is it not true that
we never see where we ean spare
a friend? Also doesn’t our ene
mies seem to follow us, and be
always present to mar our pleas
ure? Good, true friends are one
of the greatest of earthly pos
sessions, something that no one

jf MID the vicissitudes of this changing time und With the consciousness y
Q/M. temporariness that comes with the flight of a year, it is pleasant to tiring
qf the enduring character qf the best thing in life, unfailing love, as does the writes
md the game are ours as time flits by

But, while our wisdom may increase with age,

Chibs promise most to our insistent youth, rgn
And diamonds glitter to our later
But melancholy spades our hopes amaze < ®&T

can have too many of, We can
not think of a real true friend
without a sense of sweetness and
pleasantness; also we cannot
think of an enemy without a
touch of bitterness and even an
ger arising in our mind. In view
of this fact we should strive
harder to possess the friendship
of others and to lessen the cause
for enmity, As the new year has
dawned it is a good time to for
get past offenses and start anew.
Those who have offended others
should repent and the one uf
fended should freely forgive. In
many instances this might be ac
complished but for the reason
that stubborness and pride have
control of either or both parties
concerned.
In conclusion, let every one
who can lend assistance to our
good friend, The North Geor
gian, thru the coming year, Help
raise it to the highest plane. It
is our old friend and will be the
friend of others who come after
us if we will all realize this and
give it our support, "For THE
TRUTH will rise even though it
be crushed.”

OLD BILL SAYS
—That every boy and girl in the United States should he
compelled school from seven to fourteen years of
age, at least, and no toreigner should be given citizenship
until he or she can read United States. It’s to our shame
that this country is eleventh on the literary list of nations.
Germany, Denmark, Switzerland, Holland, Finland, Nor
way, Sweden, Scotland, England, Wales, and France have
fewer illiterates.
—That every good Amergian should pay a tax of some
kind no matter how small. Probably “my fellow citizens’’
would then exercise more care in the selection of the men
who spend the public money.
—That it is a cheap bunch of Christians who pay their
preacher a salary so small they have to give him a couple of
donation parties each winter to keep him from starving.
—The more than one million dollars is being spent by A
mericans for yacht building in foreign ship yards. If built
in Ametica, with American registiy, they must sail dry ;
built in foreign countries, with a foreign registry, thejy may
carry liquor without molestation.
—That two years ago a lot of fol ts did not want to do any
thing that Woodr*w Wilson wanted to do. Now they don’t
know what the deuce to do.
—That the old time doctor wondered what was wrong
with him if the patient died; the present day doctor won
ders what was wrong with the patient if he gets well.
—That the good women of the land should start a “Back
Ito the Home” movement for women. J
[ —That “quality” white women know how to cook; that
“poor white trash” don’t.
—That the mother who doesn’t want her son to be a sol
dier may live to see him a *lave.
—That politicians say voters have short members. If the
voter will “remember” when he goes to the polls to vote,
wo will have more efficient officials.
—That we get just what we work for and deserve. If we
fall short of what we want, or what we think we deserve,
we will find the trouble by looking within ourselves,
—That the price of potatoes in 1922 was not the fault of
President Harding, Congress or the Legislature. Old Na
ture was just evening things up on the high prices a couple
of years ago.
—That somethings cannot be adjusted by laws, as for in
stance, farm products. Old Nature makes good crops, and
poor crops, and the farmer who has learned that Nature
cannot be beaten by law, is the contented and prosperous
farmer.
—That it is time we “quit kicking’ ” and got to work.
—That it is time we quit paying our good money to hear
foreigners tell us we are mongrel crew.
—That it is time we recognized bolshevism and socialism
as a disease, and treat those suffering with it to a cold show
er daily, and cempu’.sory WORK for what they eat.
—That the man who does his work just a little better than
any other man in town, has no trouble in getting work and
tae pay he asks.
—That all the socialists he has ever known were second
rate workmen or worse.
—That the successful men, as a rule, are tho who have
stood squarely on their own feet, and were a little more
skillful at whatever work they did than their fellows.
—That the fellow that gets there by the skin game—skin
ning his work or skinning people — finally skins nimself, and
the last third of his road is a hard and rocky one.
—Selected.
DID HIS BEST. —A Western exchange tells of a speed
maniac who rau head on into a seven story office building
and after regaining consciousness weakly murmured, “1
l)lew my horn.”— Boston Transcaipt.
