RUNNING A BILL.

In forming your new years resolu-
tons there is one which if added to the
list will do more to increase your pros
perity than any thing else and that is
to make up your mind to pay as you
go. to run no bills. Reduce your oper-
alton to cash basis. This rule may
work some hardships the first months
of the Year but ere long you will begin
to feel Megood resulting there from.
If you buy on time you will buy many
things you would do without if you had
to pay cash instead of running a bill.
Running bill adds greatly to the high
cost Of living. Try few years with
out doing this and you will see it will
pay.
When you pay cash you appreciate
the article more, you have carefully
weighed the transaction and have fig.
ured out thu. Importance of buying il

D0TY.

Little Edward Clay Doty came into
this world on the 9th day of October,
1914 and gave promise of being source
of much pleasure to his fond parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Boyle Doty of near Low
ell in this county.
However, his sojourn in this Vale of
Tears was of short duration, for on the
10Th day of November, less than one
short month, He recalled the tender
spirit to a brighter realm.
The bright little fellow was the light
of the household and the hope of his
parents, and the many friends of the
young couple sympathize deeply with
them in their bereavement.

the order of the day was silently an
nounced Thursday morning when the
first big flakes of snow began to fiutter
to the earth, bringing with it the spirit
of the season which had seemad some

The air was fairly charged with the
spirit and everybody seems to be try
ing to live up to the motto, peace on
Earth Good Will Towards Men," and
with half of the civilized nations of
the world engaged in a struggle for
mastery, the people of this country
are just beginning to realize the bene-
fits of a democratic government in
which all have voice.
This is the season when the older
people really regret the approach of
old age, and when the young ones, who
have yet to know the buffeting of bit
ter world, have the best times of their
lives. 1t was joy to see the lots on
the streets gazing awestruck at the
windows and revealing in the legend of
the RENDERS and sleigh on Christmas
Eve.
Thru private charity it was so ar
ranged this Christmas that everybody,
no matter what was their condition in
life, was remembered. -.
Socially the little town was quite
gay, many small parties and family
dinings were given, All of the young
people who had been away at school
returned for the holidays.
Kentuckians are noted for the fact
that no matter where they are as
Christmas times approaches, nor how
long they have been away, as the day
gets nearer they begin to speak with a

The making of good resolutions on
New Years day is part of the senti-
mentality of the season, just as patrio-
tic speeches are associated with Fourth
of July occasions. The best of US re-
solve to do better, and the worst of US
resolve it even more stringently. That
is the the curious and pathetic thing
about this promise-making to the future.
The most comprehensive, iron-clad
resolutions are always made by the
class of people who are least likely to
keep them. The lazy man makes up
his mind tersely to be industrious. The
mean man resolves to be kind, and the
drunkard swears to keep sober. And
that is usually the beginning and the
end of their performance. If all the
fine resolutions rnade by them on New
Years days, and subsequently broken,
We're recorded. they would represent
more virtue and heroic action than the
angels in Heaven could practice. The
question is why do the weakest, most
tempted of men make the most ardent
display of reforms at such times? Be-
cause for moment the clean page and
fair vows overlays the failures of the
dead year. They are shriven, made
whole by sentiment. Every resolu-
ton is a wand which they raise against
their powers of darkness. They know
how brief the magic is, how soon the
time will come when they will have the
strength no longer to lift it against the
wild delirium of some old desire, but
for the sake of the fleeting vision it af-
fords of the normal, peaceful life, nc
other class cherish so dearly the RICH:
to make New Years resolutions. In
every case. it is the measure of theil
weakness girded up in words express
ing power and resistance. 1t is theil
perennial proclamation to Heaven thai
beneath the broken wings of life they
still retain an impotent, spiritual like
ness to the God of all goodness. AnC
as such evidence they command respect

is dead. If only God would blot it GU
of their remembrance forever! Well
here's to you. comrades, sorry veteran
of hundred lost battles! Here's hop
ing for the fellows who wear no laurel
for victories won! And word of ad
vice: If we showed more wit il
avoiding temptation, we should find i
