WE'D, JAN. 2, 1907

To 1907 the News makes it's
bow and extends to it's many
readers the compliments of the
season. To 1906 it can only say
farewell, and farewell forever,
for it has done it's work, kept
the faith and eXerted the vim
that sustains vigor and enter
prise where less determination
would have impaired and retard-
ed the end to be obtained-the
aiding in making our section of
the State better and more pro-
gressive. In reviewing the year
lust closed, the News has the
consolation of feeling that it has
done it's part in an honest effort,
for better public conditions, for
the building of a stronger and
more active popular Endorsement
of local progress and develop
ment, and while so doing to go
hand in hand with the doctrine
it preached. None of its reg
ular readers can doubt that its
chief purpose has been the adj
vancement of this section and to
enjoy a more rapid and fuller
development Of itself to become
a stronger factor in the awaken
ing and building of Columbia,
Adair county and Southern Ken
lucky in General. 1t gave its
best efforts to the many who
read it and paid the dollar, as
well as to those who perused it's
columns, and lodged the respon-
sibility of paying, and the many
compliments and few criticisms
that have reached the place of
it's abode, leave the conviction
that it has farely well measured
up to an intelligent requirement
from progressive people.
While some of it's efforts have
been like chaff before the wind,
vet some have proven weightier,
and are bringing good results.
In greeting the New year the
News can not promise more than
in former years, in purpose and
effort, but it's facilities are BETTER,

Respectfully,

The people living beyond Rus
sell Creek in the section of the
Greensburg road are getting
tired of the disadvantages of
high water and no bridge, and an
effort will be made at once to
present the Importance of a
bridge at that point, at the next
meeting of the Fiscal Court.
Those acquainted with the true
conditions have no doubt that the
Fiscal Court will do its part to-
ward building a bridge, when
it's members understand the i'm
portance and worth of a bridge
at that point. On the other hand
the ones most directly interested
and benefited by it's building,
should get to work in earnest,
and be in position to meet any
reasonable demand of the court.
In keeping with the require
ments of the court, in the build
ing of bridges at other places,
several hundred dollars must be
contributed. If this is to be Sc
cured, it is time the work was
being pushed, and if the people
expect bridge this year, it is
absolutely necessary to meet the
court with an inviting PROPOSE
ton. A bridge is badly needed
there, and should be built.

HATS AND CAPS.

and from that viewpoint the an
nouncement is made that it will
contain more local news, fresh
from the source of happenings,
than in any year of it's past. In
1907, as in 1906, it's manner of
living and efforts to advance its
surroundings and give hope and
cheer, will not be dimmed by in
activity. In giving a full report
of the happenings during the
year just closed, it comedies no
superior in the local field, and
hopes by unremitting effort to
be surpassed only by fuller re-
ports in it's own columns. The
News cannot exist on a mere
pitance-it cannot thrive on mere
promises. 1t must have the un-
stinted support of the many who
believe that a paper is fair in
dex of it's surroun d n g s.

the past it has successfully met
it's obligations to the public, and
tried to discharge it's duties in an
open, honest and impartial man.
ner. 1t does not believe in OBJ
tanning money or prestige under
false pretense, and will do it's
best to give full and complete
value for every dollar it receives
in every department of its serv-
ice, in it's future efforts, so long
as it's present manager holds the
steerage wheel. It's editor, how
ever, does not assume the full
weight of so great a task, nor
does he claim its prestige in the
past, for his able assistant, Mr..
IS. F. White, has already dem
onstrated his worth and adapt
ability in collecting and present
ing news in a spicy and attractive
manner. In fact every depart
ment is up to the best standard
of efficiency, save page 4, and to
this fact as we'll as proper guild
ance, it's friends may rest as
sured Of good service. The year
just past scored the highest
point for the News, in business
and substantial growth of any
like period of it's existence, while
the present starts with more ev-
idence to brace up the hope and
belief that 1907 holds in store
even more than the prosperous
past. For the substantial pat
ronage of the past and for the
many compliments given its ed
itor is truly grateful. 1t is your
paper, and our responsibility; It
is your privilege to sustain it,

Too Much Prosperity"

the unparalleled development of our

so extraordinary that it is undoubtedly

undesirable"
That has a familiar sound. The

humming the same tune for weeks.
The country is too prosperous" Is
it?
Do any OF these gentlemen believe
that
There are too many men at work?
That there are too few men idle?
That 20 few families are in want
and restitution?
That too many children are in school
That TOO few are sent out to work by
fathers out of a job?
That too many mothers are comforta
BILE and happy?
That too few mothers are worrying
where tie Chiidiens supper IS tC come
from?
That too many people are saving
money and buying homes?
That too many are indulging in the
little Injuries that make life so much
more worth living?
That more anxiety. sua ing. hungel
and disease would be good for the
country?
This is what calling halt" means
Does Mr. Belmont or any other MAI
! in his senses honestly think that the
country is too prosperous? We do no
| believe it. The country is not hal
prosperous enough. The unparalleled
development" is not unparalleled, anC
the national resources ought to be de
yeloped UNNECESSARILY further than
they are. These are mere common
places. which even Mr.. Belmont ant

deny.
