A HAPPY NEW YEAR
fO2O-t02t

The Mountain Advocate wishes its
many friends and patrons Happy
New Year.
II liz sensible of the increasing con
fidence and patronage OF the people
of Knox County which has been
proved by u larger volume OF job
business, greater list of Advocate
readers and By many verbal and
written expressions of approval and
good will.
On our part, we can truthfully
state that we have greatly enjoyed
our publicity work. We, OF course.
do not offer q metropolitan news
paper to our friends and IL we did
so, It would be failure. In large
city one can live in the same house
with others and never know them,
hut in the smaller towns. the news
items about ones friends and ac-
quaintances is always of interest II
is this interest which we have tried
Our plant has been considerably
improved by additional material and
we shall no doubt add more during
the coming year. Local advertising.
which eighteen months ago was not
worth anything apart from the two
banks, IS greatly increased.
1t is gratifying to learn from
those who have advertised that big
increase in business has been the re-
suit.
The coming year will witness the
election of numerous local officers.
In this connection We wish to urge
our people to vote for those who can
render the best service to all the
people and not because OF sentimen-
tai reasons. We get exactly what
we deserve In our ofiicers since Il 10
we who elect them. II experience II
capable Of teaching Us anything, It
should surely teach us that the man
who Is failure at his own business
will fail with the business Of the
public. Let us resolve, men and wo-
men alike, that the year 1921 shall
not find the morally unfit or incom-
petents, in public Offices. We pin
our faith on the larger Righteousness
Of our women voters to bring about
a good selection of officers.
We need good roads, better edu-
cation, better farming. wider scope
in business affairs, the cooperation
of town and city, the strict enforce
ment of law. better churches with a
live, livable religion which shall also
inculcate> the virtues of the Ten Com
mandments with their application 10
good citizenship.
The most successful person In the
year 1921 will be he who rules his
spirit in the belief that Almighty
God is his heavenly Father and not
the citizen to whom success comss
by trickery or miserliness.
Character is a bright coin which
is stamped whit the image of God.
Success. without character, is
failure.

! Judges stationed themselves on the
! high points 50 they coull gra e the
dogs and judge the race. The fox
proved TO be an unusually good rum
ner taking more than five miles III
, each circle and the dogs were liz
great shape.
On account of some OF the dogs in
the Knox County pack not being ac-
quainted. they all ran for the lead
and this made speedy race.
The judges voted secretly but all
agreed on the first hound.
In the first contest, all age hounds,
which was a fox driving contest

en-, and owned by A. NJ. Decker Jr..
was in the Al class for the first
four hours of the race. until he ran
against tree and injured his should
er, which made it necessary to take
him out.
On the final decision. in answering
the question as to which dog the
judges preferred, all things consid-
kored, they by unanimous opinion
selected Ruby Walker. This dog is
only 13 months old. is a thorobred
pedigreed American fox hound of the
Walker strain. She jumped the fox
and her running qualities and speed
cannot be excelled. ~
The next race is tonight, Friday.
