Ring Out The Bells.

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Ring out grief that saps the mind.
For those that here we see no more;
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind.
Ring out the want, the care, the sin;
The faithless coldness of, the times:
Ring out, ring out mournful rhymes;
But ring the fuller minstrel In.
Ring out false pride in place of blood
The civic slander aud the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right;
Ring in the common love of good.
Ring out old shapes of foul disease;
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old;
Ring in the thousand years of peace.
Ring in the valient man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand;
Ring out the darkness of the land.
Ring in the Christ that is to be.

GOOD ROADS WORK WONDERS
Improved Highways Give Farmer
Chance to Reach Markets-Bad
Roads Decrease Efficiency.

The railways and interurbans have
and are having much to do with the
development of this state. The evil
dence of their splendid work is seen
on every hand. They have contributed
to the building of towns, the develop
ment of rural communities and have
made it possible for great Industrial
ventures to succeed. But they, while
working wonders for the common
wealth, cannot reach every household
as the highways do. The highway
reaches the isolated man, which the
railway but incidentally touches, and
it means to this man or the community
In which he lives whether the highway
is of such nature as to enable him
to carry on his relations at the least
expense and comfort. If the roads are
bad he is hampered and loses much,
not only from the value of his prod
ucts which must be hauled to market,
but he pays tribute in the wear and
tear of his harness, vehicles and in
jury to animals. His inability to reach
churches and schools easily reduces
his ability to make the most useful
citizen.
If he has good roads he reverses
this and stands out with greater pos
sibilities along all lines of endeavor
In which he engages. - Greenville
