Generally we face the New Year with out reflection, without even a backward glance; but with a smile on our lips we turn to the future, which lures us on with hopes, promises, and enticements far greater than the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Our hopes, our anticipations, what a part they play in the joy we get out of life! Still, if we are to obtain the full measure of our portion of future gladness, we had best review the past, and recognize our errors and mistakes, so that their recurrence will not mar the happiness of days to come. If happiness can be measured by friendship, if joy can be measured by kindness, and hope by service—and they ^^n^—then we can well afford to take a long and searching look into the days of 1919 before going far into the bright j dawn of 1920. I What does that last backward glance reveal? Does it show any friendship ties broken by our neglect, carelessness, or thoughtlessnes.i? Has our selfishness dwarfed our growth, and dimmed for us the happiness which can only be obtained thru friendship‘s How many iiPW friends have been added? What aciions of ours hinder us fiom having all of our acquaintances as friends? What acts of kindness left undone, what bitter, thoughtless remarks rise up to mar the happy reflections which are the reward of every kindness? At last our eyes rest upon our accom plishments during the past year, which are in reality only a summation of ser vice rendered. It is the smiles we have caused, the sorrow and trouble of others which we have shared, the daily labor well done, our steadiness, trustworthi ness, and dJigence which lend a glory to the sunset of 1919, and fill us with joy and hopes. It is then with a feeling of gladness and renewed strength that we can turn to view the rising sun of 1920, a year of boundless opportunity, to be obtained thru service, and as yet unmarred by Take that backward glance, Friend, so that your greeting of “A Happy and Prosperous New Year” may express a stronger hope and more solid belief in the great results to be accomplished dur ing the coming year. The American Legion In the midst of unsettled conditions, there is one steadying force in our coun try today—the American Legion. This great organization of American World War veterans is non-political and non partisan, but it is one hundred per cent, patriotic. It is opposed to all I. W. W. s, Anarchists, Bolshevists, Communists, International Socialists, and all other radicals who are seeking to disrupt our industries and tear down our American institutions. It stands for the brother hood and comradeship of the men who fought the Hun, whether here or abroad. For this organization is not militaristic, and makes no distinction between offi cers and privates, or between overseas men and men who did not get overseas. Service men, the Badin post is now organized; get in touch with it. The following officers were elected at a meet ing held in the Citizens Club rooms, on Friday evening, December 9, and will serve three months: J. N. McNair, Commander; J. R. Cog gins, Vice-Commander; R. M. Kelly, Secretary and Treasurer. An important committee was appointed at this meeting, composed of Messrs. Baumgardner, Moore, J., and Cagle, whose duty it is to assist the officers in getting the Legion before the service men of Badin. The dues required are $1.50 per year. For further information, see any of the above, or Mr. F. A. Cummings. A Faithful Man Gone Mr. Peacock, who passed away at his home on Maple Street a few days ago, was one of the most faithful and reliable men in the employ of the Company. Whatever was assigned to him to do, he did with a completeness, thoroness, and whole-heartedness that aroused ad- m'.ration even when it caused inconve nience to someone who wanted a little letfng down of the bars. While he was on duty at his gate, it was well known that not even the highest officials could pass there without conforming to the regulations required of everyone. The Bulletin wishes to express full sympathy to the bereaved family, and to hold before our community the mem ory of a plain and simple man who did his work well.

H. Devereaux Relief Agent Father a Lap Ahead Father ruefully gazed at his last dol lar. “Money has wings, and house-rent makes it fly,” he said. “Yes,” said his fifteen-year-old son, “and some houses have wings, for I’ve seen many a house fly.” “You’re smarter than your old dad maybe, my son; but I always thought that no part of a house except the chimney flue!”—The Continent.
