w P Hardage and Asa Darby
have formed a co-partnership in
the manufacture of Excelsior, and
will move Mr.. Hardage's machine
to Mr.. Darby's stand. He has al
most an unlimited amount of
timber suitable for this purpose.

bales of cotton up to date this

Josh's entire family was sick

ems, churn, cut wood, cook, make
fires and wash dishes, ETC., and
wife and five children all calling
on him at the. same to do some

grippe, ard the average farmer is
not apt to be in any too good a
mood at this season VIXEN he has
just about finished marketing his
cotton crop at less than five cents
per pound, and on Xmas eve
night four or five little stockings
hung up expecting Santa Claus to
come, and him not come. But
then Josh does not wish to be
called a grumbler or a growler,
but has sown about half of his
land in wheat and oats, and will
plant nearly all the balance in
corn and potatoes,

We shall not make anything by
mourning over the failures and
mistakes of the past year, al
though they have been very great
and may cause us many a heart
ache and self reproach. The only
way that we should really profit
by our mistakes and failures will
be by trying not to repeat them.
AS we look over the past year we
would not think it possible that
we should have made the kind of
mistakes that we have, but there
they are fresh to our memory.
The new year is at hand; can we
not profit and be encouraged rath-
er than discouraged by our knowl-
edge of where the mistakes have
been made. A prayerful and
careful consideration of this ques-
ton in this light cannot fail to
make this year a more successful
one. We shall feel weaker than a
year ago, and naturally shall de-
pend upon God more. This will
be in itself a great gain, less of
self and more of God. Let us
watch and pray, looking unto Je-
sus, the author and fnisher of our
faith.
