CHRISTMAS - —
The Christmas season is upon us
again—today the whole world halts
to celebrate the happy event. It is
a holiday different from all others
for it commemorates the birth of
Him who died that mankind might
live. It is the most important anni
versary in the calendar year.
It is a solemn but sweet occasion,
and should be forever observed in
that manner. At the Christmas sea
son our thoughts should turn, for a
while at least, upon the life and char
acter of Him whose birth we cele
brate.
And if we do this our celebration
of Christmas will be the right kind,
we will forgo ostentatious display.
We will share our stores with those
less fortunate than ourselves.
It is a beautiful old custom to give
presents at Christmas, but judgement
should be used in the giving. Our
gifts should be to the poor, to chil
dren, to the aged, to those very near
and deardo us, and every gift should
be in the Christmas spirit.
And this Christmas seasrn, of all
times of the year, is a season for
sobriety and the most sober thoughts.
It is but a few days until the end of
the year, and we should strive to
make these closing days the best of
alL
The whole world, and our country
in particular, is passing through a
time of stress and uncertainty. Busi
ness conditions are not as they should
be, a wave of lawlessness is sweep
ing the cotlhtry, and there are many
things to discourage us, to cause us
to despair and give up, there is a
tendency by many to let dawn, to &ee
only the gloomy side.
But during this Christmas season
let us look only for the bright side.
Let us, each one, examine ourselves
and study our individual relations to
others around us. Maybe, by think
ing for a while on the life of the
Master, we may get the inspiration
which all of us need for our daily life
and conduct in the year jusj ahead.
This is the time for solemn thought,
we repeat, but not a time for despond
ency. For from our solemn thoughts,
we should get comfort, and cheer, and
cause for happiness.
Christ was born 1924 years ago, and
He still lives. What is there to dis
courage us—to make us afraid ?
Christmas is a good time, a glad
time, a happy time. Let us make it
so for others.

Young—may he live a thousand years

Her face is peaceful, happy as she
rests with her hands in her lap. For
the first time in her life there is
nothing that she ought to be doing.
Earnest, patient, calm and beauti
ful is her face, as she looks out at
the changing scenes. And still more
beautiful her expression, as she takes
the things that the waiter brings and
arranges her husband’s- breakfast.
She will not, while she lives, lose the
habit of taking care of him.
Here is not the face that launched
a thousand ships or burned any tow
ers, anyway. It*s better than that.
It’s the face that weaned a thous
and calves, cooked thirty thousand
meals for family and farm hands,
sewed and mended and washed for a
family of children, caring for them
in sickness and health, helping the
chores and economized on herself.

Every dollar they take with them,

Happy is the nation in possessing
such states as California and Florida,
in which those that have worked hard
may spend their latter yedrs, prolong
ing their lives and enjoying the re
sults of hard and useful work.
Those, now living will see in Cali
fornia and in Florida cities greater
than any now on earth. They will
not be cities of crowded, windy streets
but cities that will cover millions of
square miles, spreading over hills %ad
valleys, with beautiful roads and
great landing fields for flying mach
ines, that will bring swiftly through
the air passengers that the trains
now carry slowly.

WHAT DO
P. S. JEANS
DOT
The East and Northeast will send
their millions to Florida. The Middle
West and Northwest will send them
to California. California and Florida
will send back to the North energetic
young people to work in the colder
climate.
The development of this nation has
only begun. California or Florida
could easily feed, under intense culti
vation, the entire population of the
United States, and Texas could feed
the population of the world.
With the flying machine fully de
veloped, all the people of the earth
could find beautiful dwelling places
on 7 hills and mountains now unin
habited. f
Nothing to worry about, over
crowding least of all, if the people
combine imagination and common
sense.
FINAL SETTLEMENT ' **
Take notice that on the 14th day of
January, 1924, I will render a final
account of my acts and doings as
Executrix of the estate of Charles
L. Rounds, deceased, in the office of
the Judge of Probate, of Laurens
county, at 11 o’clock a. m., and on
the same day will apply for a final
discharge from my trust as Executrix.
Any person indebted to said estate
is notified and required to make pay
ment on or before that date; and all
persons having claims against said es
tate will present them on or before
said date, duly prov*en or be forever
barred.

GREETINGS
Of all the wishes that could be made
during this season of good will, we
can wish nothing better for you than

happiness—and first of all happiness
in your home. With this $11 else will
