1906

It is only a few months ago.
that standing at the thres
hold Of a y w Year, we all looked
forward to The many things We
could and should do. To all OF
US the year 1906 looked like q
long time, and apparently offered
plenty of chances for bettering
our conditions and prospects.
This issue Of THE TRANSCRIPT
closes the eyear. How much have
we accomplished ? Some Of US
have done things, great and
small some have met with re-
verses death has visited the
homes of many; yet, with il all,
the year has enshort, too short.
None of US have accomplished
what we were certain q year ago
would be the minimum of our
achievement.
What Of 1906? We are now
at the opening of another mile
stone on life's journey. The
time till 1907 will be no longer
than we have spent since first
we learned to write 1905. Is it
worth while to make more reso-
lutions and outline more plans,
which in the light of the past
year are certain to be broken,
and come to naught? THE TRAN
SCRIPT thinks that it is. Every
effort put forth for better things
helps a little toward achievement.
Therefore, five can do no better
let US brush up our old 1905 re-
solves and plans, and put them
before us as an incentive to effort
in 1905.
The TRANSCRIPT feels that it
has improved and has given bet
ter service to its patrons than
ever before. We are going to
try to improve and give better
Aservice for the new year. With
readers help, we viii be able

tent.
While the whole country is alarmed
over the mosquito and it's germ-dis-
seminating abilities, Americus mashes
him methodicalIy and pursues the even
tenor of her way. There is but little
complaint here concerning the tuneful
drillers, and in hundreds of homes a
net is never spread. But with the
knowledge that the mosquito can aud
does transmit dread yellow fever, re-
lentIess war will be waged upon him.
A prominent physician here expresses
the belief that much of the typhoid fe-
yer existing in Americas was trans
mitted by mosquitoes, and of this there
is no doubt. There are 322 known va
rieties of mosquitoes, all of them biters
from taw. But it is the stegomyia fas-
ciata variety that scatters fever germs
mostly, and wherever an Americus man
meets the stegomyia fasciata mosquito
he should choke it promptly.
