BE AT PEACE. 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

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

means in the world to bring content

NEW YEAR’S GREETINGS
The Old Year is almost gone; the
last entry made; the final record clos
ed, and K bound in the Book of Remem
brance are its joys and sorrows—its
successes and failures, its happiness
and its disappointments. 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

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

Clinton has voted a tax of $12,500
for the erection of an addition to the
Graded School. This was done by a
vote of 27 to 9. Evidently so small
a vote in a city of the size of Clinton
indicates either extreme lack of in

tion and education, or it means that
nine-tenths of our people are content
to let one-tenth do their voting for
them.

a beautiful retreat where he can find delight and rest. This is the time to take
account of your home—measure its comforts, and give it what it needs for near

THE LIVING ROOM
A three-piece suite appealingly covered in best quality velour, can furnish the
nucleus of a fascinating room. An end table and a bright lamp added will contri
bute a nice bit of comfort, and the whole cost will be small for the wealth of
pleasure such furnishings will give for years.
THE DINING ROOM
A dining room, just as* pleasant and inviting as the living room, should i>e the
aim of every home-maker, for many important hours are spent there. Yours will
satisfy if it is refreshed with a mellow-tone suite such as we are offering as a
