Th. New Year. On the stroke of twelve tonight, 1914 with its hopes and fears, its joys and sorrows, its successes and failures, will pass into history and the world will face a new year, its pages white and unsullied. ■i The dying year has been remarkable in many respects. Many of us have aeen our fondest dreams vanish, some have tasted the bitterness of failure, sorrow has entered many homes, and thrice blessed, indeed, is the man who has realized his anticipations—who has seen his plans carried to a successful culmination. terrible destruction of life and ’ in Europe has had its effect on business in this country—especially in the South. Every business has suflbred to a greater or lesser extent But that is no reason for us to give up in despair—to quietly fold our hands and admit defeat. Let us give the young year a hearty welcome, resolv ing that each of us will do his part—noi matter how humble—in bringing pros perity once more to this fair land of ours. If we have worked hard in the PMt. let us work yet a little harder, the strong helping the weak, to the end that the wish for “A Happy, Prosper ous New Year” will not be mere empty words but the prayer of hearts fHled with love for their fellowmen. Well, anyway, "they" can’t ask, “Is it hot enough for you?" After today, write it right—1915. Mrs. R. C. Kirkland and Miss Annie Jackson spent one day in Augusta last week. Be sure and read the advertisement on page eight of this issue.. Also those on pages four and five. Hew We Gat the News. Several days ago a perfectly nice lady called us up and with tears in her voice reproved us for not mentioning the fact that she had a friend visiting her last week. We told her that she had not let us know anything about it and that, therefore, we did not know that she had a visitor. Then she said, “Well you should have known. I thought you were running a newspaper." Wouldn’t that rattle your slats? Some' think that an editor should be a cross between Argus and Anna Eva Fay. They seem to think that our five senses are augmented by a sixth that lets us know everything that happens, even if we see, hear, feel, taste or smell it not. Dear lady, editors are only hu man—or at least, almost human. If you have a friend visiting you, if you are going away, or have returned from a visit out of town, if Johnnie falls and breaks his arm, if your husband chops his toe instead of a stick of wood, if anything happens that makes you glad or sad, happy or mad, call us up. Tell us about it. That’s the way to get it in the paper. CITATION NOTICE. 8tat« of South Carolina, ) County of. Ham well. | In the Probate Court. By J. K.

Pomeroyton, Ky.—In interesting ad vices from this place, Mr. A. J. Hughes writer as follows: "I was down with stomach trouble for five (5) years, and would have sick headache so had, at times, that I thought surely 1 would die. I tried different treatments, but they did not seem to do me any good. I got to bod, I could act eM or steep, and all my friends, one, j Bn. Ha advtand mt to try taking other medicines. I decided to take his advice, although I did not havo any confidence in it I have now been taking Black-Draught for fiiree months, and it has cured me— haven't had those awful sick headaches since I began using it. I am so thankful for what Black- Draught has done lor me." Thedford’s Black-Draught has been found a very valuable medicine for de rangements of the stomach and Uver.
