THURSDAY DECEMBER 31. 1914.
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.

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.
