NOTES FROM SUMMERTON CITY E' US BE THOUGHTFUL AND SOBER, MINDED In the busy industrial centers of ypntry you will find continual era of one of the feidamental >iiples underlying our social or ..,der, and that is that we must guard ot.selves against carelessness. Care Ie snepswhich mayresult in loss of jopsjrty or even lire and honor. One of these reminders is brought 'forcebly to our attention in the great ubways of our large cities by guards who continually cry, "Watch Your Step." This slogan should be ob derved by us whether as individuals classes, races or nations. Individuals would profit themselves #greatly if they would watch their steps in every undertaking', whether it be social or business. Careful, con siderate thought has never been a de triment in any walk of life. Apply this motto in our moral life and there %is no doubt -that there'will be imme Aa.te improvement. Apply it in our k-economic life and there will be less fa'ilures. Apply it in our social life hlnd .we will have less divorces, sep arations and consequently less court proccedings. .Carelessness and thoughtlessness are two of our worst enemies and to guard against them we must keep this motto, or a similar one, before gs. If it were only possible that at e present time we might have some ighty-voiced giant calling to us to "Watch Your .Step" in our national life we might yet heed and prevent the impending catastrophie which TO THE Since prices started fa to mark our goods down sales for January 1921, w January 1920.
