4 HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Yesterday, our thoughts went
out to you in wishes for your
new years happiness. Pros
pects with many Of US may not
be so bright, but since it rests
mainly with a man mmseh
whether he shall be happy, the
very dreariness Of the prospect
may be an incentive to the brave
hearted to accomplish something
notwithstanding. Fortunate Is
the man with whom obstacles OH
" arouse determination to sur
mount them. Many such mer
there are, for you will observe
that despite bad years the great
err number of the people manage
to pull through nicely.
Thus it will be in 1909. L
promises to be a hard year. Bu
chat only means the calling forti
of more energy. And more ener
pv is what the South needs.
