To our subscribers, adver tisers, and friends in general, the ADVERTISER extends its best wishes on this the first day of the year 1902. Resolutions are easy to make, but hard to keep. Re member that you must have assistance in doing good and helpful deeds. Ask the right One, my friends. WHO are you indebted to for the goodness you have re ceived during the past year for health, for friends, for the care of your loved ones ? Un gratefulness is almost unpar donable. THE first year of the twen tieth century is past and gone, and the deeds,the bad as well as the good,have been record ed. Have you, dear reader, made a record you are proud of ? If not, it is too late now to change it, but you may as the year enters, strive to do your duty and make this the best year of your life. The book, "Somewhat of a Liar Myself" has reached our desk. It contains about 85 pages, and'is written by J, W. DeVore, of Edgefield, with an introductory by Jos. Tyler Butts, and is copyright ed by the author, lt is spo ken of in the highest terms by those who have read it. It is on .sale at Penn's store. ~?h?Yw?Ifih~strok? o? tr?e^?ock sounded its , last, the year 1901 died away ' and the birth of the New Year entered while .we were in sweet dreamland. Today marks another impor tant era in our lives. What this year shall bring forth we 2[now not. The past is all we have to judge the future by, and it has b*en a period of prosperity to some, to others it has been a failure,and some nave been through the time partly on mountains of joy and partly in the valley of of bitterness and tears. We wonder why it is, but still we do not understand. To some prosperity would prove ' disastrous, and to others pov- j erty proves beneficial. We 1 are reminded by this, and in ] other ways, that though life : is a mystery, yet through it all , God will be our guard and ! our guide, and we must, wil- \ lingly or unwillingly, submit to His will. If the year just i past has not carried us each . and ever}' one 365 days near- ! er the eternal throne of God, \ it has been a blank year in our ( lives-a year thrown away. With the birth of 1902, of . which today is the first, were born new duties, new respon sibilities, new privileges, new hopes, and new joys, and they may be followed by sad ness, disappointments, grief and pain, sickness and sor row. We cannot make this a successful year unless , we start right from the first day, for each month, day, hour, moment and second has its duties, and for each a strict account must be given. So let us each one, Edgefield ci tizens, begin today to do our full duty as we see it, and not live but one day at a time. In dications are that this will be a tiard year, and we must each help the other, by trad ing with home merchants,and patronizing home industries. Let us all work to build up our town ; all work together, helping the town authorities and our honorable Mayor W W Adams to make Edgefield a law-abiding and pleasant place to live. To accomplish this end, we must not leave God out of our plans, and we , must practice the Golden Rule ? and not believe the rule as practiced now-"do others or I they'll do you." | MASTER'S SALE. tate of Sou I h Carolina-Edge field Comity-Court of Common Pleas-General P M McNure, et al., against Hope McNure, et al.
