There is a new spirit abroad in the land. It is the spirit of democ racy, the spirit of getting together, e spirit of co-operation. This spirit is finding expression in small groups, in clubs land lodges, in unions and federations and in a ; growing spirit of unity among the churches. It is beginning to seek embodiment in terms of a civic consciousness, in better national unities and in world policies. The old method of improving a town was to get some man of ealth and public spirit to give it a fountain, donate a monument or put up a library. The first problem of these small er towns is to see themselves and their needs clearly. The greatest object of their citizens should not be to get as many dollars as they can and to keep them as long as they can, but to build the best town they can and to produce the best type of boys and girls, men and women, the best churches and schools, the best forms of amuse ments and recreation and to boost ith enthusiasm anyihing that will give an opportunity tor continu ity expression, to things making for the common good. The mid-winter Chautauqua fes- val that is to be given in our town uring the days beginning Feb. I , and 3rd, affords just such an op portunity and channel of expres sion. It should have the co-operation of every citizen of our town. 1 here will be discussed and set forth in this program the great constructive forces of civilization, the great achievements that the uman race has made up to the present time and some of the great problems that are now before the world for solution. It will do our town much good. It will give us larger vis ions and higher ideals. It ought to make for cleaner streets and yards, better sanitation, the de velopment of more beauty spots in our town and a wide-awake spirit. Items of Interest.

The month of January has been exceedingly mild, and we all have reason to rejoice that our fuel bill has been moderate. Rain is plen tiful and the school children are having a damp time getting back and forth to school. Side walks are badly needed for the school children as well as all pedestrians. Will not some large-hearted, pub lic spirited person start a subscrip tion (to which every one who loves the welfare of children will con tribute) to build side walks in South Weldon? Who will be the first to volunteer. The cotton mill has been run ning at night to make up lost time. The employees are highly favored, while so many industries are at a stand-still, the cotton mills are kept running. Several have reported on the sick list, but health is unusually good for this season of the year. The merchants are undergoing the usual "dull business" in Janu ary, but business along all lines is expected to improve as spring ap proaches. Now is the time to practice economy, and spend care fully. Not denying the body wholesome food and sufficient clothing, but a strict denial o, things harmful, viz: patent medi cines, cold drinks, tobacco, snuft', cheap jewelry and common shows, all of which can be done without successfully.
