JONESVILLE

Jonesville, Jan. Sit is quite COM
mon for people at the beginning of a
new year to make new resolutions and
promise to turn over a new leaf, all
of which is very good, if they were
kept, but such resolutions are gen.
orally short lived, and don't amount
to much. 1t seems to me that if ever
there was a time that our people
should turn over new leaf. it is now
The people of the country have GER
talnly been living too fast, living be-
yond and above their means, and a
collapse was sure to follow sooner or
later; but the foreign war has brought
it sooner, perhaps, than it would have
otherwise come, and really we are
forced to turn over that new leaf and
make new resolutions. Experience is
dear school, but most people will be
taught in no other.
Forty-five years ago last Saturday
l led my wife to the hymencl altar
and we then and there made the re-
solve that we would live in love and
peace and pull together through life.
That love should reign supreme in
been like the law of the Meaies and
changes in our town and community.
Clerks and other employees have been
laid off and many changes made iii
business circles, all of necessity.
While we begin the new year. 1915,
we must of necessity begin a new er;
in business circles which should be
well considered and strictly observed
The banks of Jonesvillc both paid
hni Il I.
of Jonesville, per cent, and Every
body's Bank, 3 1-2 per cent.
We have a carnival in our town,
the things that should be laid OF
for the carnival, with the flying ginny
and other toolishness.
Grippe anc severe colds have mrst
CT cur people m their grip at ;h,s
time. hut no one that | know of is
seriously sick.
Last week | completed and sent to
the comptroller general roll of the
Confederate veterans and widows of
veterans in this county, and there
are 167 veterans and 16G widows.
Pretty close race between them.
There is most likely few of each
ehal uiu Hot SSI. lie ODJcCl OF the
enrolment is to get the number of
veterans and widows in the State to
lay before the legislature when they
meet, so they can look to the passing
OF law to give everyone of them a
pension of one hundred dollars, which
will take at least one million dollars,
and require a levy of 8 mills on all
property to raise it. How is this for
high taxes these war times, for the
war is going to be here for two or
three years yet.
