OUR HONOR ROLL
Our boys are being rapidly discharged from the military service of our country, and are returning to take their places
in the equally important fields of the trades, industries, and professions. So we present herewith a new Honor Roll, which
we hope our readers will help us to make and keep correct and complete. It is the roll of former soldiers who are now
employed in Badin, both by the Tallassee Power Company ar d by other businesses.
We keep the first place, however, for our honored dead.

Greetings for 1920
We have once more come to the close
of an old year and the beginning of a
new one.
At this period we are accustomed to
take inventories of our stocks of goods,
to determine discrepancies, if any exist,
and to charge off all shortages and
credit all overages—and thus start off
t e new year with a clean slate.
It will be well to broaden this prac-
ice to include an inventory of ourselves.
ave We corrected or kept in check our
s ortcomings during the year so that
We had none to charge off; or are we
confronted with a big debit balance—so
*^uch so that our good deeds will not
P ace us on the credit side. If any one
0 us belongs in the latter class, let us
e it a point of duty to correct this
> and the best way to overcome it
to take a perpetual inventory of our
sayings and doings, so that the bad ones
'viil cease to be a habit.
One of the best helpmates to a suc
cessful life is thrift; and one of the most
helpful inventories to make is to ask
yourself before buying something of
doubtful value if you would not do bet
ter to do without it, and instead invest
the same amount in a revenue producer.
There are many more ways to safely
invest your money now than ever before.
The arm of the law has been stretched
out to protect innocent investors as
never before, and by the use of common
sense it is possible to invest safely.
The National Thrift Week comes this
month, and I hope most of us will take
advantage of its teachings, and profit
thereby.
My New Year greetings to you, my
friends, is a wish for your continual and
increasing happiness and prosperity,
your stronger devotion to God and His
teachings, and my heartfelt thanks for
the good work you have done in the past.
—J. E. S. Thorpe
An Encouraging Comparison
What are we in the United States to
expect in the way of living conditions
in the New Year just arrived? Nobody
knows. Prophets are afraid to prophesy,
and still it seems to me that a com
parison of our prospects with those of
other countries would be worth while,
and might make us less apt to complain
of unsettled conditions we are sure to
have.
The world is passing thru a period
of great readjustment. All countries
which got into the World War early
are in bad condition financially: France,
England, Italy, Germany, and the others.
They are terribly in debt. They will
have to pay enormous taxes even to
keep up the interest on their war debt.
Their factories cannot get the money
necessary to pay wages and buy mate
rials, and even if they do get the money
it is not worth much when they try to
buy materials in American markets with
