Something TO
Think Ab0uf
FROM THE SHADOWS
By +. II. WALKER

THE man or woman who smiles
= upon us from the lowly cottage
door. ever ready to offer q helping
hand to the unfortunate and to give
cheerful encouragement to the weary,
has, through tenderness and love,
found the way to sunshine that
grows brighter and brighter until the
end Of life.
The dismal panorama OF dark
clouds has drifted away from the
sky and nothing remains but the crys-
tai depths of benevolent blue.
Despair has yielded to confidence.
but not without first marking its exit
with SORROWS and tears, and perhaps
also ragged dishonor, thus fitting the
soul for the comforting change.
Erring. thoughtless, selfish, un-
true, and living in the valleys of
darkness while the beauties Of Ma
ture were striving for mastery. the
Swallowed soul found IL difficult to
rise to the glorious heights where
the atmosphere was sweet and pure.
II. when you are In the shadows,
you expect an angel from heaven to
come to earth and lead you away to
"A blissful elysium. you will find that
you are still living among shadowy
delusiOns.
To break away from the sombrous
shade lurking everywhere about us
Is extremely difficult, but with q
heart filed with a struggling radi-
ancy Of faith. sustained by qualities
which only faith can give US. we
can do lit, and reach the state Of
tranquil content which comes quiet
ly to the earnest and sincere. like
the sunshine of morning after a night
of storm.
We may clap our hands to the
heights but we cannot reach them
except by our own unceasing en-
deavor.
We must expect tired, bruised feet,
We must anticipate slips and falls and
sickening sense Of our own In
hrnltles, Out we must Keep climbing
keep holding fast all the while to the
hand OF shining-eyed Faith. who. In
spite of our unworthiness, will lead
us hour by hour to higher ground.
There are many ways in which we
may help ourselves, but not until
our hearts have been properly attuned
to the dominant key and kept In
tune.
Hard work. high thinking and q
charitable attitude towards others will
be found helpful attendants, for with
out their first aids no man or woman
however accomplished or exalted, can
hope to emerge from the shadows and
write an acceptable record Of a well.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
October 2 to 7 In Fire Prevention
Week

This is a good time to sum up the
sources Of fires and prevent as many
rs possible. II has been said that an
ounce Of prevention is worth a pound
Of cure. Most fires originate thru
carelessness.
Don't smoke in bed
Have metal cans in basement TO
put ashes in.
Don't allow rubbish TO accumulate
in basement, closets or attic.
Don't use gasoline to clean clothes.
Don't leave electric iron connecte 4
when not in use.
Don't look for anything in a dark
place with match.
Don't have matches where children
can get them.
Have good ladder around the
place-long enough to reach the roof.
There was an average of 1929
worth Of property burned every min
ute in 1921. Let's help make 1922
fire losses less.
Don't tie knots in electric drop
cords.
II is about time to put up stoves
for winter. Don't put them too near
the wall. There should be at least
lS inches clearance Leave some
ashes in the bottom.
Put sand on top of hot air furnace
in basement.
BE careful
And IL you do have fire, send in
the fire alarm and the boys will be
there.

And the world keeps getting awful.

For the world is getting better every

And we're luckier than In the long

"Times amt what they used to be-"
The world keeps rolling on
To a happier goal than opened in
Yesterday;
And when our eyes are opened on the
morrow's golden dawn
We find truer beauty by the way.
"Times amt what they used to be"

And its up to us TO make them better

And we only have TO grab to get

TOM WATSON

There Is big lonesome spot in the
country since Tom Watson passed
out and on.

as a tiger. gentle as lamb. honest
as "Old Abe" with a memory that
was encyclopedia, a vocabulary Of in

10 his forefathers. who compelled
King John to sign the Magma Charta,
Tom Watson lived and fought and
died. He was born radical. He
made no compromise with injustice
or falsehood in word or deed.
He combined the intellect and
learning Of Alexander Stephens with
the frey impetuosity Of Toombs
jefferson was his ideal. In his in
corporations Of the Constitution he
belonged to the school Of John c. Cal
houn, and was the sworn foe Of all
Legislation that did not measure up
to his Interpretation Of the Constitu-
ton.
He was profoundly read in Eng
lish, French and American history
His History Of France and his Life
Of Napoleon are used as texts in
French schools.
He was ever a friend TO the com
mon people and spent his money
freely to fight their battles. He
hated tyranny and greed and from
the beginning of ms career TO the
end he was heartily feared and hated
BY all those in control Of the "Invisi-

service in the Lower House of the u.

Thru his influence a law was pass
ed by the Georgia legislature max
ing legal the inspection Of Roman
Catholic institutions by the state au-
thorities. For this he won the I'M
dying hatred Of all Roman Catholics.

gressive group of senator's, composed

trolled only by sense of duty, and

of influence.
The "s;andpat" politician will
breathe easier now that Tom Wat
sons seat in the Senate is vacant.
Those who love truth, justice and lib
erty will wipe away the tear of sor-
rowful remembrance for him who
stood for the common people.
Tom Watsons work is finished, but
the principles to which he devoted
his life are still with us and still
need fearless defenders. May we
not fondly hope and fervently pray
that his work may influence host
of loyal truth-loving young patriots
To devote their lives to the defense
and advancement of those principles.
