(By Mercer Williams.) .... The old year gone, the New Year come. The passing of yti.ia is like the passing of generations, one year fills the vacancy of another while gene ration fills the vacancy of gen eration. Seemingly the change of years brings to me the deepest sense of solemnity. To part with the old year in a sense is like parting with an old friend, or associate for whom you have the greatest respect while it is true of course that in the old year we have ex perienced many hardships and cares, yet it is true that we have been afforded much hap piness and joy, many oppor tunities for success that may never come within our reach again, and a happy associa tion that can never be exper ienced in all of its sweetness and fragrance as it once was. Truly the passing of years are like the passing of genera tions is a solemn t. mg. We love the old year because we have associated with it. We know what the old year has brought to each of us because we have read its record. Our meeting with the New Year is like meeting new acquaintance of whom we know nothing, like meeting a stranger, in oth er words whose face is un familar with intentisive and ambitions unknown to us. But lets give the New Year a welcome in our midst by ex tending to its providence our hands of friendship, commit ting to its care our every trust and by all means feel our de pendence upon the great God who hath made all things ac cording to the good pleasure of His will and for His glory. It is an easy task indeed to rehearse with tears and plea ure the dealings of the old year with us. We tell repeated ly the happier events, occas ions and results of the things whose abode are now in the past. But who can tell what the future holds for us, oh, who can tell what tomorrow the next day, the next month or next year will bring forth. Avery difficult task is it not? We may suppose, we may make a thousand guesses, we may offer numerous opinions, but who can tell? Oh! who can tell but God? What a wonderful thing the process of time is. It is like a great factory with its median cal means that makes or man ufactures thousands of arti cles and turns them out speed ily by its well devised pro cess for public usage. What a beautiful compari son for time is indeed a great factory with machinery that runs easily, swiftly and con tinually. A factory that does not suffer for neither the lack of means or material. Being Divinely devised it can not fail but will continue its pro duce moments, days, months, years, centuries and decades until time shall be no more. Let us join in together and make this New Year the sweet est, greatest and best year of our exsistence, turning our thoughts from the things that are behind, towards the future possibilities of success that are ahead. And above al 1 things let us not forget to revrence God who has bestowed all past blessings and mercies upon us. Let us not forget to set new resolutions, not only set them but stand by them de termined to do the things that right and honest in the sight of God and all good men HOW’S THIS?

During the bast wdek the Georgia Cotton Growers Co operative Association has been busy mailing the last batch of checks to members assignees and mortgagees, which will complete the Associations’s second distribution, which ag gregated a total of approxi mately $500,000.0-0. The ffrst checks were mail ed out December 19th, and were sent to members who had drawn on their cotton at the time of delivery and these checks totalled more than $300,000.00’ at 2 cents per pound or $lO per bale and they reached the members in time for the Christmas holi days. ■ Scores and scores of mem bers did not draw on their cot ton at the time of delivery to the Association and at the re quest of such members, no ad vance payments will be made to them until final settlement. The second batch of checks consisting of payments made to mortgagees and assignees, where members had assigned their interest to their creditors and the Association has been busily engaged during the past few days in checking up kuch accounts and sending out checks to cover such payment. This, the second advance payment, which was made to all members who requested their payment, or who gave assignments, brings the total advance made to all members to date, up to 14 centc per pound. According to an an nouncment of the Association, f an other and more substantial advance will be made to all members some time during March or thereaboute. ROUTE 6. Well, the New Year is here and a lot of sickness in this part, most every family. There is some sick which makes it pretty sad with us but the Lords will must be done. the Lords will towards us is’W give us joy and peace if we obey Him, but if we disobey Him then trouble and sorrow, grief and pain, so it seems like we have disobeyed Him in some way by the way the pes tilence that is on us just now the boll weevils and flu wars and pestilence is an evidence that something is wrong, for Good book tells us that if we obey the Lord we shall not like for any good thing. May God help us all to examine our selves and see whether we be in the faith or not. Now I be lieve that our whole nation has gone wrong and I believe that it is time for another call for this nation to ask God to for give us of our sins and remove those plagues from us. Some people will say that the Lord has nothing to do with those weevils and flu but the bible tells us. Behold I set before you this day a blessing and curse. A blessings if you obey the commandments of the lord your God, which I command you this day, and a curse if ye will not obey the Command ments of the Lord your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day to go after other Gods which ye have not known. Now we can see that God has all powen in heaven and on earth, and He deals out justice to us all. May the holy spirit help us to search the word of God A see where the trouble is. The Lord knoweth them that are His. Deut. 1:13., and I command you at that time all the things which ye should do. 29- then 1 said unto you, dread not, neith er be afraid of them. Now this was spoken concerning the children of Israel, or what befell them on their way to Canaan and we are on a journey now and we have a command just as the children of Israel and we must obey our commander or else trouble will befall us. So let us hear the command and obey the or ders thkt our Captain hafc giv en us and these troubes will be taken away and not before May we all heed the orders and march forward. Painful Then. "Does your shoes ever hurt you?" "Not until I have to pay the bill."~New York Sjn. Ne^lJ^s (N OTH*—Tills article, printed la the Boston Olobe In 18*3, predicted many things which have become a reality In much lesa time than anticipated.) HIS New Year’s eve while I lounged with nothing else to do, I scanned each column of the Olobe and al most ere I knew a growing dimness stole across the printed page; I drew It nearer, and be hold I ’twas yellowed o'er with age. My hands, I found, had wrinkled grown, my locks were changed to gray; my form was bent, my vision dim, my teeth had passed away. And as I gazed I heard a voice, “Good morning, grandma, dearl X wish you many, many times a Happy, Glad New Year.” Then tall men said they were my sons, ind daughters fair to ■ee told me this wasn’t ninety-three, but nineteen forty-three. Said I: “My memory has failed; how goes the world today?” “You shall go out this afternoon and ■ee the town,” cried they. At that the tears flowed down ray cheeks. Quoth I, “The days are ended when these poor eyes could see the sights.” "Oh, no! wm’U have them mended." A grown-up son then seised a knob and gave three pulls upon It: HMllMii/iill ~The c * r wtll be your bonnet." And Ihe coupe came; |jp£ fabled horse was j son i s t turned and touched a thlnk I’i lost m y mind If I should tell how * ast we V hew, for we left \\ the wind behind. " We went to see the surgeon first. "The lenses crystalline have "grown too fiat with age," he said. "We must put new ones In." With that he hypnotised my mind In some peculiar way, such rare sweet visions floated by, then quickly passed •way. I woke, my eyes were strong and well, and hastening to depart we paid the fee and entered next a gallery of art But as to pictures, when I turned, so very strange they seemed, I thought the artist must have sketched the stories he had dreamed. "We never think of painting now,” my guide suld, with a laugh. “These •re but landscapes In the moon, taken by photograph.” "What! are there people In the moon?" /j)* “Oh, yes, Indeed!" said he. "Here It a lunar telescope; look through and you will see." I gazed, and to my great surprise distinctly saw them walking. I listened at another tube and there I heard them talking. “You see," said he, “we’ve learned to catch such swift. Intense Vibrations In the thin ether that we bear their slightest Intonations, look sur prised,” my son went on. “I’ll show those eyes of yours a sight worth while, our famous scheme that beats the Paris sewers. These llfttle gutters ramify through all the Streets and streets and catch the rsdu and hall and melting snow. These tiny gratings match, conducting down to pipes be neuth, which take It miles below straight towards the center of the earth, where the great heat, yon kuow, will turn It Into steam of course, and up it comes ugaln, by other pipes, to spin and weave and cook and print for men. It feeds the factories through the land with no expense for fuel; It polishes for artisans full many a precious Jewel. We've laid large pipes through all the streets to warm the winter weather, so rheumatism's out of date and done with altogether. "Now, mother, we will go and lunch In Afric’s sunny clime," and drawing put hla watch he aald, "I see there's ample time. The sub-Atlantic tunnel’s done; we’ll take It over there. The cars are sent through every hour by th# force of compressed air." He plnced me on a cushioned seat within an egg-shaped car, suspended In an Iron tube. I felt a sudden Jar, and then, to my astonishment, conscious of nothing more, I found that we were ptandlng upon the farther shore. And soon we reaches a city near the Mountains of the Moon. (They told me Ethiopia would be admitted soon as one of the United States, for China late had been.) We found a place to order lunch, by three tall men brought In. They served us well, but spoke uo word, while gravely bowing low. Quoth me: "I thought that slavery was done with long ago." “So ’tls,” said he. “Then who,” I asked, "arc these three stalwart fel- 1 ‘• w,r “They are not human, mother, dear: they’re only tame gorillas." Much as I feared the tunnel then, I feared gorlllus more, aDd glad was I to come again back to oilr beloved shore. "When home once more my son re- i marked: “You’ll want to see the play fat the Olympian theater; It la their matinee." -1 thing I'd like to stay Indoors," I snld, “and rest need not leave the house,” he answered with a smite. “We do not go to theaters like the canaille, I hope. Just dark en, close the drawing - room, open the dloscope and you wIU see the actresses, the , cornices and frieze. Beside It stands the telephone and you can hear with ease.” “What Is a dloscope?” I cried. “A small, objective lens, so placed ,as to command the stage (as all the world now kens), connected by elec trie wire with yon white plate of glass that’s framed In panel on our wall, and over this will pass the scenery and actors both until the play Is through. By electricians It was tried In 1882.* But that Is quite old-fashioned, so I'll show you something new. You’ll want to ride In my balloon directly after tea; I’ll take you, If you’re not too tired, up to the Polar sea.” His kindness overpowered me, and I began to weep, when someone shouted In my ear, “You are crying In youi sleep.” The Globe had fallen on the floor, the lamp was growing dim, so what my son might yet have said Is knows to none but him. •A fact. BANISH THAT STRAW MAN Supposing you thooght you had been able to ward off all bad luck during the coming yeur by merely throwing a straw Image out of your house on the last day of December. You would have thrown out not only one Image, but a dozen. And supposing that with the discarding of the straw effigy you had thrown away all your sins. This Is what the people of far-away Kores believe. On the day before New Year’s the wise and far-seeing head a t each family carefully makes a rough Image of straw, which, with great ceremony, ■ls tnken to the door and thrown away with all the vigor a man would exert when he threw away HI fortune. NEW YEAR OF ANCIENTS The ancient Egyptians, Phoenicians and Persians began their new year at the autumnal solstice (September 21) and the Greeks, until the Fifth century. B. 0., begnn the year at the winter solstice (December 21). In 432, B. C., the Greeks changed the festival to /une 21, the beginning of summer. THE JULIAN CALENDAR In the Julian culendar New Fear day occurs 12 days later than In the Gregorian and the countries in which Uie Greek church predominates ob serve the holiday on January 13.
