CL FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 1920 Number 21 A SEMI-WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INT ED ESTS OF WARRENTON ASFffAB KEN COUNTY . - . i By W. BRODIE JONES) It is fundamentally up to you whether you are happy or unhappy. It is not actions in themselves which hurt one but the construction place theic on. It is the intellect which treats the words and actions often thought lessly spoken by ones friends. You are happy to the extent you believe that life is a glorious oppor tunity for service to others, that with in you is an unconquerable spirt, that suffusing your life is an abundance of love which takes even the hard and unkind things as part of the Game, and whose buoyancy, hopefulness ana fortitude ever sees all the Golden Sands of Good. But think that all people are against you, feel that life holds no charm for your spirit, labor to amuse your self ish whims, carry the Chip on the Shoulder and always yon will find one who delights in Knocking it from its Perch. All mankind i3 classed under these two divisions of thought. Some call it point of view. Its wage is either happiness or gloom, success or failure. The Coin you collect is the Creed you elect. The world smiles when you meet it with a smile. Could Life be fairer or happiness more just? Cheerfulness makes Life all beauty and weariness a name. Optimist Please, pass the cream.
