SYMPATHY
The pessimist says the country is
going to the dogs; the optimist says
“Well, it’s a fine day for it.”
It may be more blessed to give
than to receive, but it isn’t nearly as
easy on the pocketbook.
The shortest days of the year como
just before Christmas. But you’d
have a hard time making the average
small boy believe that.
The only time some men get their
names in the paper is when they die.
And even then it is sometimes mis
spelled.
Doctors say hard work never kill
ed anyone. But some people don’t
believe in doctors anyhow.
“Mexican Reds Threaten American
Consul Dye”—^Headline. It may be
true, but it sounds like highly color
ed news to us.
Ever notice how much the man who
is opposed to movies, dancing and
evrything in general, really knows
about the things he condemns?
An English sculptress has made a
bust of Charles Chaplin. It doesn’t
look much like Charlie, but then, of
course, it doesn’t show his feet.
And we wonder how the Goddess
of Liberty would look on short skirts
and with her hair bobbed?
We wouldn’t give two figs for that
neighborly sympathy which is called
to life only by the hush of death.
And that is one reason why some peo
ple do not like the public card of
thanks. There should be no occasion
for thanking folks for simply doing
their duty. If your home catches
on fire it stands to reason the neigh
bors will help you to save what they
can. If you are stricken by the death
of a member of the family, it is only
common decency upon the part of
your friends to come to your aid.
And yet this mere assistance is so
rare that we have seen strong men
with tears streaming down their fa
ces as they felt the heart break of
parting with a loved one, say “What
would we do without friends?”
This noble attribute of sympathy
ought not to be so rare that only
death or disaster can call it into be
ing. We ought to practice it to-
wars our _neighbor_ every, day. of
our lives. You don’t know ’how a
showing of interset, a kind word °f
a hearty hand clasp may strength
en the poor devil who is trudging
under a. load he keeps hidden from the
public gaze.
And, then, there is mother. It
isn’t much of a task making Mother
happy. Her white hair and the light
in her eyes begins to fade, her want
grow correspondingly simpler. But
shewants to’know that she some
times is in your mind. She needs a
little change from the monotonous
routine of her life. Can’t you man
age to give her one? Think it over
and do something for Mother. Give
her a little gift some other time than
up on Christmas Day.
And you fellows who have left the
old home and are far from her, do
not fancy that a letter telling her
more or less of what has happened
will be enough. You must write her
a love letter. Perhaps it is not in
fashion, but that is one kind of a
love letter that must never become
obsolete—the love letter to Mother
at home.

Secretary of Treasury Mellon says
prohibition enforcement officials talk
too much. In other words they should
“dry up.”
Landru, the French bluebeard must
go to the guillotine for the murder of
11 of his former sweethearts. But,
then he s not the first man who has
lost his head over a woman.
We’ve seen, and you probably have
too, some autoists who drove asif
their life insurance was paid up and
they were anxious for their heirs to
collect.
And we hope the Recording Angel
turns a deaf ear to some of the hunt
ing stories that are being told nowa
days.
One little letter will make a lot of
difference. F’r instance, take the ad
vertisement of the restaurant which
read: “The best people in town die
at our tables.”

1911, JOUR GREETING 1922.
Ten long years has passed, and'we are still here, ex
tending to all our Customers, our sincere thanks for any
patronage be it large or small. We wish for all of you
the happiest and Merriest Christmas and a Prosperous
New Year. As the old year goes out we see our mis
takes of the year and by them we hope to profit in 1922,
hoping to have a continuance of your esteemed patron
age with a liberal increase. We need your kind sugges
tions, your hearty cooperation for a bigger and better
. THE OLD MAN’S DREAM.
Chapel Hill store, one that all of you may appreciate.
They call our Manager the old man, which he does
not dispute, while Sheriff of this County for six years he
drove miles and mils in the cold and dark otentimes
alone hunting law-breakers, rading stills, and dream
ing of his return to Chapel Hill (Home Sweet Home)
where he hoped to build up a business that all of her ci
tizens would appreciate and support, in some tespects
he has succeeded in many he has failed, and now Chap
el Hill is growing by leaps and bounds the question be
comes a bigger one. We want to give you a bigger
store, a neater store and better service. The coopera
tion of every citizen is asked for any suggestions will
be carefully coosidered. We know someing must be
done very soon to meet the demands of the growing
Town, if we are not the people to meet the issue, we
stand ready to sell out, or to merge into a larger corpora
tion, that our people may get better service.
PAYING BILLS
From the day this store opened its doors in 1911, it
has been a puzzle to the management to know what is
the right thingg to do. Believing that the people who
pay cash or pay their bills by' the 6th of the month
should have some allowance yet how to do it has not
been solved. A good customer says try giving a 2 per
cent discount on all bills paid by the 6th of the month,
this means a saving of 24 per cent in a year. Beginn
ing January 1st we will try this for the month of Janu
ary. To the slow pay, those who think we never need
money we are forced to say “friends you must pay up
January 1st. It is up to you, you have had notice after
notice, our creditors say we must pay so must you, and
all accounts not paid by Jan. 10th will be in Roberson &
Whitfields hands. We beg you not to force us to this
unpleasant process.-
Again thanking every customer, and wishing all a
Merry Christmas,

The Ford Sedan,
This splendid car is growing more popular every day,
because every day the demand for the enclosed car in
creases in volume, and when you think that the Ford
Sedan, with its comforts and conveniences—an enclosed
car, handsome appearance, roomy for five passengers,
nicely upholstered, sliding plate glass windows which
make it an open car in a minute or so or a tightly closed
car that is dust-proof and water-proof—ready for ser
vice every day of the year, rain or shine, summer or
winter, and then think that this car is lower in price than
any touring car (except the Ford car) and you will not
wonder that we ask you to leave your order for a Sedan
as soon as possible that we may be able to give you
reasonable delivery.
Of course, you cannot forget that matchless and reli-
bale “Ford After Service” that follows every Ford car
the world over—always within arm’s length a reliable
Ford dealer or authorized Ford garage that can tune up
your car and keep it in running condition every day in
the year. We want your trade.
