Volume XIV No. 1

With this issue The News enters
upon its fifteenth year. AS we look
back over the pages of the past, as
they lie as an open book before US,
we discern that The News, through
out these many years has always
enjoyed its share of patronage, has
ever been willing to boost Meade,
and Meade County, and has endeav-
ored at all times to be on the side
of right. Throughout the coming
year the same will be true. AS has
been our custom since assuming
control of the paper, we will ex-
tend to the various churches, lodges,
and other organizations of the city,
whose object is to uplift humanity,
the same courtesies we have always
extended. Likewise our political
policy will remain unchanged. We
will support only clean, honest mem
beers of the Democratic party, and
when we discover one in the told
over whose record hangs a cloud OF
dishonor, untruthfulness, and double
dealing, that individual will receive
the publicity due him. We expect
to make some mistakes as we go
along, for dear reader, you we'll
know that the people who never
make mistakes are dead; and we will
have enemies too; the analysis OF
the individuals who have no enemies
is simple. They are failures. No
one ever took stand for any cause
or issue who didn't make enemies.
We desire to thank our advertis-
ers, our subscribers, and those who
have in any way patronized The
News during 1913 and to wish you
success in greater measures during
the coming year. We trust that you
may look back over the old year, as
we are able to do, with no feeling of
regret, that the brightest day of the
year that isPast be the darkest of
the new, that the days of sorrow be
outnumbered by those of joy, that
your anticipations become realiza-
tons, and, may He who made both
you and US, shower down on you
His richest blessings.

Santa Claus could put into every
stocking enough to keep the owner
in comfort during 1914, without
having to take a penny from the
wealth accumulated during all the
years before. There isn't thing
the matter with Uncle Sam at this
minute that isn't traceable to stand
pat delay in meeting known abuses;
and the danger before Wilson isn't
in trying to meet them, but in the
possibility that he may not be able
to get action quickly enough. It's
dangerous business banking on
empty stomachs and bare backs, as
Smoot ought to know if he has read
history. More so now than ever be-
fore, since folks learn easily and
rapidly what's what. We venture to
guess that if Smoot should under
take to do any placard posting on
idle factory doors in the exultant
spirit of his Washington outburst,
what he would get wouldn't be votes
but more likely rotten eggs with
maybe brick or too for good meas
ure. So, soft pedal that line of
prophesy, senator, if you want to
stay In public life. Believe US, it's
loaded.-The Rural Weekly,

Preaching and reception of MEM
bers on next Sunday morning.
On account of the revival service
at the Baptist Church we will dis
miss our evening service on next
Sunday.
We urge our people to give all
the aid possible to the meetings now
in progress at our sister Church.
AS a result of the one week of
special meetings conducted by the
Gospel Team there were 81 people
took the stand for God. Eight of
these were already members of 9th
er churches or took other churches
as their church home. The Gospel
Team emphasized the necessity of
giving the life to God and of real
sorrow for sin. 1t is safe to say
that the boys aroused the town as it
has never been aroused before in so
short a time and on every side you
hear men say that they were so
broad in their views and so clean in
character that it is no wonder that
they did so much good. Men on
the outside are saying that it is a
pity that the meetings had to stop,
but the pastor and his people did
not want to conflict with our other
meetings just beginning and We are
sure that it is fortunate thing that
there are other meetings to take up
the work for it would be too bad il
the interest aroused could not be
carried on. This town will always
remember these boys for the good
work they did, They did not come
to US posing as something superior
to the ordinary individual but they
have this testimony following then

Sunday morning; The steps

Evening: Not ashamed, but
glorying in the Gospel of Christ.
The five young comrades in the
Masters service, who assisted our
esteemed neighbor In his meetings
last week, impressed all favorably
and the most lasting impression, on
the writer, is the object-lesson clear
and bright, that today the leading
spirits and those of the young that
seek culture and attainment are not
ashamed but proud of the name
christian" and of the gospel of
Christ.
While we as congregation shall
hold no special meetings this winter
none would prohibit the silent &C
compartment of our petitions that
many may be turned to righteousness
as the result of the meetings last
week and of those to be held in the
weeks to come and after each troph y

An editorial in last weeks Buck
lin Banner reads something like
this The newspaper men are the
most peculiar brand of chumps in
the world" The editorial has ref.
erence to the Government and the
envelope business. The Govern
ment sells envelopes for less than
they can be purchased-blank, to
say nothing of the printing and the
cost of transportation. And what
do the newspapers say? Well, not
much of anything, not that they
could not say plenty regarding the
subject, and tell the truth, but per-
haps, in the language of Hamlet,
they think, Better to suffer the ills
we have than to fly to others we
know not Of" Seriously speaking,
this is a question which should be
investigated. Editor Mlller's edito-
rial follows: "The newspaper men
are the most peculiar brand of
chumps in the world, says a writer
to recent trade paper. Suppose
for instance, the Government, real
izing that sugar was much needed
commodity, should establish ware
house where the public could get
sugar dollar sack cheaper than
the merchant could buy it, and de-
liver it to any part of the United
States free of charge except the first
cost. Why every editor in the land
would condemn it in strongest terms,
but that is just what is being done
in the envelope business by the
government. They sell these en-
