Possibilities
Of the Future
BY Req. NezVeH DzVieht Hills

Memory gives us the past, and worl
uses the present, but our real life i!
in the future Three hundred and six
ty-five golden days lying before us
Think of it! One hour suficed fol
Burns to baptize daisy with immor
tality. One hour was enough fol
Wordsworth's Ode to Duty. One even
ing sufficed for Whitney to sketch his
cotton gin. One winters night gave
the hours of Jefferson to take from
the Gospels his scheme Of idea
ethics.
For the youth the first duty is to
grow. Growth means planning; plan
ming means something definite;
defniteness appoints certain duties
for each hour.
Every day next year read one page
or poem; every day meet one man
greater than yourself, from whom you
can learn, and help one less than
yourself Every day do some one
stroke of good work that will stand,
and cross one threshold to carry sun
shine with you. Every day plan to do
some one thing that will help men,
not hurt them; make men, and not
mar them.
You can SO order your life as to
grow in health and in enjoyment of
Gods out-of-door world. You can
grow new friendships, and keep the
old ones in good repair. You can so
choose the music, the great paintings
that you see, and the architecture that
you study, as that music. and elo-
quence, and art and worship will en-
rich your life. You can make your
daily work, however humble it be, to
take on the culture of a full college
course.
No matter how old you are, or how
much you have done for society, you
can open new burrows and SOW new
harvests of happiness for generations
as yet unborn.
Are you young? Take Pauls ideal:
Whatsoever things are honest, what
soever things tre true, whatsoever
things are lovely, whatsoever things
dIc pure, w WucIIoOChSl dlC VI
good report-think on these things"
Are you old, with all your life be-
hind you? Remember Gladstone, who
in his dying weeks wanted to do one
more good deed, and translated
Horace. Remember Tennyson, who in
his last moments tried to write one
more song. Remember that English
nero who went out and planted just
1ne more tree on the day that he died.
Remember that SCARED apostle who
lad sown the world with happi-
less, but whose dying word was; Il
will forget the victories and the
ylories of yesterday; write one more
golden page, stretching my hands out |
into the things that are before"
This will turn the new year into a |
,reat opportunity. This will crowd |
Ii the days with duties and delights.
life will be worth the living. Work
will bring rich reward.

"'HARD TIMES"
O. f. Lawrence, Manager.

Time travels in a circle. Present
occurrences are strikingly similar tc
those with which the world has FIRE.
Quently had to deal before. On ev-
cry hand now is heard the cry of a
dull business" and the oft repeated
statement is made that this IS going
to be hard year." and people almost
shudder as if they were being ushered
into a financial cataclySm that would
annihilate property and cause them to
stroll about, as it were, almost beg
ging for the hope of trying to
stay the physical being. Hard
times" is not an unfamiliar phrase.
1t is a sort Of nemesis that rises ever
and anon in our pathway to remind
us of cur profligacy and extravaganza
and to teach US that it is wise to lay by
for the day that rains. We can but
believe that the ills that come with
the stringent timeS'' are over esti-
mated. Like anything else that we
hug to our bosom and suffer the mind
to brood over, its real proportions are
magnitied. 1t takes these hard
times to develop men. To arouse
those latent energies that too often
are dormant except when a crisis de-
mandS their utilization.
But for a hidden sun, the sky would
not bedeck itself with the stars.
Darkness is sometimes necessary to de-
velOp light. So it behooves us to face
conditions fearlesSly and resolutely.
Live the best that is within us day
by day and the coming days will give
us the best we are able to appropri-
ate. The more ''hard times" is ex-
patiated upon, the more puzzled we
become as to directing our own finan-
cial bark, and it is the man of moder-
ate means and not the money lender
that suffers by magnifying the ills of
presenr conditions. The sun will con-
tinue to shine. The rain will come
in due season and he who tries will
meet with a fair measure of success
in the year 1907.

A SUGGESTION FOR

Editor News: In your paper of the sth l notice letter from ]. A. (. Blackburn praising the beautiful city of Springdale. AL so notes the dilapidated condition of the city park. His description of 1t cannot be denied, but to raise the funds to remedy the ev- Il would suggest that the coun- ell pass an ordinance that all per sons between the ages of 12 and To years shall pay 10 cents per day or fraction thereof for the privilege of throwing horse shoes or playing marbles, and all per sons over 16 years shall pay 20 cents per daysor fraction thereof for the above named privilege.
 In this way 1t would not take long Judging the future by the past to fix the park in fine shape. Also have grounds set apart where such games are to be played, so that people coming into town may know how they can get there without fear of be- ing hit or their team being frightened. COUNTRY.
