It is good for all of us to t>e at peace. If there is something in your life that keeps you from enjoying the blessedness of this great gift, root it out if you can, even though it hurts your pride and self to do itl If the something is be yond helping, then try like a man to make the best of it—to put it behind you, as it were. You will be sur prised to see that you can do this if you will, and that peace will come. BE COURAGEOUS. Drive fear and all its kindred ills out of your heart. Look the world in the face, unafraid; convince yourself that you are as good ai the next man ^nd that you can do the things he does.. Do not carry an inferiority complex with you through the days. The world rates us with the measure we have put upon ourselves. BE CONTENT. Thank the Lord" for the many gifts that are yours and do not envy your neighbor. Perhaps if you but knew it'rie is thinking now how much more you have, for wealth is not measured in things that money can buy. All of ud have much for which to be grateful, and if the truth were really known things are evened out pretty well in this world. Remember, howevej, that being con tent does not mean that we must not strive to get ahead, for doing and achieving \» one of the best means in the world to bring content to man. - • BE KIND.

Mankind is groping in darkness, say the philosophers, and if he doesn’t look out be is likely to butt into the china closet and smash something. The banks’ way of starting out to do big things for 1928, is to loaf on the job the first day of the year; It is claimed that the legislature enacted too many laws the past year, but they will soon be meeting in the various capitals to relieve the situa tion by passing a lot more. It is said that money burns a hole in many folk’s pockets, but in most cases .it does not stay there long enough to get het up. • Anyway, after it’s all said, not any of the women folks are getting hurt nowadays as the result of stepping on their long skirts. •!

The curtain has fallen on the last scene in the year of 1925. Tomorrow the New Year dawns— rosy with promise of better things; glowing with services to be rendered, respomsibilities to be shouldered. What the New Year holds for you or for us we cannot know. We are not permitted to read hurriedly or far a- head; but on those mystic pages that comprize its record there will ever be accounts of success and joy and happiness for some, while for others sorrow and disappointment and loss. There are all kinds of New Year resolutions, but only a few are ever kept. Another good thing about Christ mas is that it comes, but once a year. — Another difference between a man and a woman is that a man had rather be comfortable than stylish. At the close of 1925, we hope you have missed all the bad and had some of the good. Work is called the greatest cure for our troubles, but by many it is considered a very painful remedy. A very interesting even^ in the history of the Thornwell Orphanage was the completing of the organiza tion of the Thornwell Memorial church by the election of elders and deacons at the call of the pastor. Rev. J. F. Jacobs presided at the meeting. Dr. A. J. Briggs and Mr. T. C. Scott were elected elders and Mr. S. J. Kilgore and Harry Brissenden were chosen deacons. Many folks expect to win big suc cess in 1926 by'opening their mouths and permitting some juicy plums to drop in. A considerable number of folks will be willing to clean up all their old bills now—provided someone will Who can say what a year will bring? jlend them the money. But this much WE DO KNOW: A glad, new, unspoiled season is upon us and it is exceedingly bright and beautiful and fair. Each day lies before us like a gleaming, radiant page, awaiting the final record of the year’s accomplishments. Its very as pect breathes achievements; it is transcribed with hope, and brings to us the promise of glorious opportun ity if we will but do our part. What greater thing can we ask for than three hundred and sixty-five splendid, untouched days for better and more conscientious service? As for our business relations with Some of th$ flappers want to know you, we know that they will be as how to make themselves more popu- cordial in the future as they have I lar among the boys.

Evidently so small a vote in a city of the size of Clinton indicates either extreme lack of in terest in the whole matter of taxa tion and education, or it means that nine-tenths of our people are content to let one-tenth do their voting for them.

About the best New Year resolu tion we know is to have some cash in the bank when it ends. Sometimes a man works overtime in his office at night, and then again that is what he tells his wife. Some folks think water is an inglo rious drink for the holiday*, but those who partook of it could at leant find their way home alone. - As the president did not deliver his recent message to congress in person, he could not see the gentlemen throw H to thd- waste-basket.
