folks cannot win any such brilliant
success, but if they devote intense
study to perfecting themselves in
some business or farm of service,
|-they will get much better rewards.
Most of us have to plod^ along the
roads of patient toil. Quick and sen
sational rewards come only to a very
fejv. Those who spend their time
longing and dreaming about such suc
cesses, almost invariably waste their
time, while those who try to do some
thing supremely well, almost always
get recognition.

No, Jeson, a girl is not necessarily
an angel because she is flighty.
The nick man demands diet suitable
to his condition of course, and a
tough, wooly, asbestos-like piece of
white bread is about the last ’ thing
I would prescribe for him, and even
then, when there is nothing else in
the house to eat.
It is human weakness that we in
dulge too freely in things that entice
the appetite, and right there lies the
objection to warm, n^rishing, diges
tible breads. It is the quantity eaten,
and not the temperature that does
harm. If two biscuits are all we
need, why eat six ? Overeating is to
be condemned, no- matter what the
article of diet.
A natural appetite is a pretty good
guide to what the system needs. A
depraved appetite is a dangerous pos
session. The natural appetite may be
sated,—the depraved never! A care
ful study of our appetites might be
better recreation than writing mani
festos opposed to good nourishment.

Boys and girls who stick strictly to
their work and obey the home folks
are sometimes regarded as “goody-

or as they study next day’s lessons.
These sportive youngsters do well to
get their laugh in now; as they may
not have chance for it later. For the
boys and girls who have attended to

attract attention, and who are called

STOCK TAKING
January is a time when many busi
ness houses take account of stock. It
is an anxious period in many con
cerns. They may have little idea
whether they are making or losing
money. The figures from various de
partments are therefore added up
with intense interset, to see how they
compare with previous years. It is a
thrilling moment when the final totals
".re reached, and the same show a
good profit. But alas, too frequently,
the figures of gain shrink very low
or show a minus sign. All is not joy
in business.
Human nature has a wonderful
power of recovery after such reverses.
The cheerful business man finds the
inventory a wonderful help toward
seeing his mistakes, and i t enables
him to detect some of his losses and
No more holidays for some time
now, but many folks will continue to
get in a good rest every day at their
plate of business.

Seventeen Years Ago
Items From “Our Monthly” of
1905, Dr. Wm. P. Jacobs, Editor.
Last Sunday night there were 200
lights shining in the vaulted roof of
the First Presbyterian church of this
city, but there were only 160 people
in the pews. Things ought to be even
ed up better than that. Shall we put
out some of the lights or draw in
more people to the night services.
The A. M. E. Church Conference
has been in session in Clinton during
the past month. The proceedings
were altogether worthy of the church
court and they were kindly received
by the people.
Rev. and Mrs. J. B. Branch arrived
at the orphanage a few days ago. A
cottage has been erected for them on
Centennial street which they will
shortly occupy.
Jacks Township is moving to Clin

Next year will probably see a

street on the lots recently bought at
the Vance sale. We are looking to
see who will put up Clinton’s first
sky-scraper.
Some folks- think it is dull work to
sit under the evening lamp and read,
but no one gets into the police court
or has to go to a hospital as a result
thereof.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
Certainly We shall have a good year if we put our
' hands to the plow and work with a will and use ordinary
gumption. Put on your rosy glasses. See the blessings^
that are ours and forget the bumps. Last yegr wa& our

INFLUENCE
The monuments which mark the
graves of worthy men do the least to
keep their memory green in the world.
It is during their lifetime that they,
consciously or not, build the monu
ments which cause them to remain
alive after they are buried. There
is thus a brand of immortality which
endures in the world after death.
With some it takes the form of a book
as in the case of “Uncle Remus” of
whom it was said that he caused the
lowly cabin fires to light the far win
dows of the world. Another leaves
a business institution which has been
built up through his genius and which
transmits to the world his industry
and ideals of service in a long pro
cession of benefits to those who have
lost Ji m for a while.
The legislature’s usual grind starts
next week. The chief center of inter

of several juicy jobs. *

in the same house with a male animal
who drinks booze and eats onions.

There were 18,504 bales of cotton
