MERRY CHRISTMAS.
The people of Atkinson Cuuulj
are approaching the holiday sciLson
very (pjietly and soberly.
Their experiences for the past
year have been such as tend to
mollify and tone them down to a
paee more in keeping with the sit
nation and gem# al business affairs.
The year, 15)20, now fast approach
jrig its end, has not been a very
propitious one for those engaged in
auy line of business —and especially
is this true of the farmer; the ex
cessive rain in the win ter and spring
militated against his properly seed
ing ami cultivating his crops, and
forced a short harvest. Then the
shrinkage of prices came and stop
ped the demand for farm products.
So the close of the year finds every
body waiting and watching to see
what is to be the end of the trans
ition.
With all the untoward events of
the year the people of Atkinson
county hav# noL lost courage.
They have always found a way out
of their difficulties with little or
no damage, and are quietly work
ing and waiting for a satisfactory
adjustment. Creditors are waiting
with all patience, and every finan-
cial forces are assisting in restoring
confidence and saving the people
from disaster.
lienee, The Tribune can say, un
hesitatingly, that the close of (lie
year, 15)20, finds Atkinson county
people in a cheerful mood, ready
to enjoy the Yulelide festivities
joyfully and can sing with the
angels —"Glory to Cod in the high
est, peace on earth and good will
to men.”
The Tribune has had a fairly
successful year in 15)20. It is true,
owing to the high cost of material
and‘labor, the profits have been
short, as is true with all other
lines of business. Prices had to
be boosted for subscriptions, ad
vertising and job printing in order
to break even with the situation.
That is all now in the past aqd the
Tribune is in a splendid humor to
bid its patrons, one and all, a Merry
Christinas. May they all enjoy
the season with sanity and to the
fullest extent.
Tom Hardwick's Bolslievic
friend, Martens, has been ordered
deported from America by com
missioner of agriculture, Wilson.
l)o Georgians feel honored with
Hardwick as their Governor.’ Nay,
verily.
“A sad contemplation,” says sen
alor Walsh, “that the United
Slates' wallet is as flat as a pancake
just now and the rest of the world
is setting up in the poor house.
The staid old Senator grows more
facetious as he grows older.
You may have been (lie victim
of misplaced confidence at some
period in your life, but that is no
reason you should be a grouch and
destroy your confidence in your
fellowsand your institutions, .lust
at this time a display of this lack
of confidence can put every bank
in Georgia out of business, because
none of them are in posit ion to pay
their depositors on call. They may
liavtigill edge and ample security
for every loan made and be perfectly
solvent; still they can't collect out
standing loans just at this time al
though they may be past due, and
place themselves in position to
withstand a run for their money
by depositors. This was true of
the Berrien County Bank, The
.lesup Banking Company, The Citi
zens Bank of Oeilla. and others
that had to pass through, a most
rigid inspection by representatives
of the State Banking Department.
The depositors of these banks have
illustrated by their action t he great
damage they can do by being hasty
and unwise. Their money was just
as safe in these banks as it could
have been anywhere.

If the State of Georgia is to con

normal schools for the training of
school teachers, some method
should be provided whereby there
will be some assurance that the
pupils from these normal schools
will teach school not less than five
years immediately following their
graduation. It is an imposition
uixm the tax payers to have to bear
this burden without a guarantee of
reciprocity.
