"It is my joy in life to find, At every turn of the road, The strong arm of a comrade kind To help me orlward'with my load. And while I have no gold to give And love alone must make amends, My only prayer is hile I live, God keep me worthy of my friends" Next stop: Lee's birthday, Jan. 19. Well, the Youletite season is about over. We thought before that a '"6" was easy to make. Five days gone and the grandoldwagon is running smoothly. We like to gather current events, but oh! you currant jelly! He's the president's representative because he is not a hot House. Anyway, even if the bills are coming in thick and fast, old January has five paydays! Several people are expected in Easley next Saturday to witness the unveiling of the town pump. And those Dardanelles forts are in the same secure position they were be fore the fuss started. And probably Brother Wallace thinks "sniptious" is a mighty fine word be cause it has a "nip" in it. Mr. Ford greatly resembles the car of the same name; in that he can not only go, but he can come back. "South Africa drying up," complains a headline. Well, South Africa has nothing on SouthCarolina in that line. Our Senator Ben says that Mr.Bryan has "lost his poise." That's a great deal better than having no poise to lose. The given name of the manager of the U. of S. C. football team is Pick ens. We'll wager the gentleman is alright. -Mr. Ford says "every nation in the world will applaud when the men are brought from the trenches." They sure wvill, Henry. George Fitch says the bills for Janu ary will have tails on them like comets. .And that isn't all-most of 'em will Inaye a cracker hitched to the tail. afriend if tere were any lof the county ''Well," he wishesffor eac evy gkeatet succeu4 th hpi ness possible duH e N - For the past erqy e have been going into hun'ds d ones in Pickens county and other counties and other states, trying to carry sinshine and good cheer to the -hearts and homes of our readers; trying to encourage all that is good and right and condemn all that is wrong. Mistakes.' we have doubtless made, and. if we continue to exist we will doubtless make more, for dead people are the only ones who make no mistakes. But our intention is to help you all in any good work. Here is our hand in trying to make Pickens county-as it can be made-the very garden spot of the state., We already have the name of being the, most law-abiding, law-enforcing county In the state. Such a name we feel proud of and such a name we will strive to maintain. To the farmers, ministers, doctors, lawyers, merchants, bankers, black smiths, corporations, maiufacturers, editors, correspondents, teachers, and all others not mentioned by name, we wish a happy and prosperous New Year. A card from Editor Wallace of the Dewberry Observer wishes us 866 days of happiness and love during 1916, and we appreciate it a whole lot. Good friend, we never allow anyone to outdo us in a thing of this kind, so we wish you 866 days of the same, unalloyed and not tinged. We are sad that we have so many death notices to publish this week. There are no less than eight, and a perusal of the notices will show that death is no respecter of persons, but calls on the young, the old and the middle-aged, some with warning and some without. No one can tell when he is going to be called, but there is one thing sure: you are going to be called. An Appreciated Letter Albany, Ga., Dec. 20, 1915. Gary Hiott, Pickens, S. C. Dear Sir: Your card stating that my subscription to 'The Sentinel expires December 31 was rebeived in the morn ing mail. I am sending the $1 which you so politely request. Mark me up for 1916. If this newspaper is worth a dollar to Pickens county people, it is worth two dollars to me. Besides get-, ting the home news, I see in it a good I deal of other interesting matter. For I example, * [ * [The modesty of the editor causes him to omit this ref erence.] I look for The Sentinel each week the same as I do a lettet from homefolks. The tequirements of my business make it necessary for us to take almost every paper in thirty sur rounding counties and, being familiar with these, I can say that you are pub lishing a creditable weekly. Keep going. Trust you will be as successful in the journalistic field as you were. fooling the teacher in the Easley school to think you were studying when you were secretly making a museum out of your desk. Do you remember? With personal wishes, Yours very truly, LEE ROPER.
