The New Year
New Year comes and brings ;,
with it bright hopes, brighter "ories
than those furnished by MW6.-
The old year went out leaving things
better than it found them, and when
it did go it .handed over, to its young
successor peace and good will and
stores of plenty. .
«= We believe the moral standard .i- j
just a little higher and the social
fabric just a little stronger than a
year ago.
Financially. 192 C was a great year
for all the bi>r folks. The railroads
and other big interests made as much
if not more money that'the law al
lows in most cases. Lat»or was on a
favorable shelf. It bids to occupy an
even more favorable position before
the year is over. Railroad labor has
just been granted a raise by the court
of arbitration. The raise*amounts tOj
seen and a half per cent over the 1926
scale, which' means good times for
railroad workers. They,, of course, re
ceived this raise by demanding it.
~T come? Thv farrru'r, one-third
of the American population. He is not
quite so well otT. He lias suffered low
prices and depressed business pre
vails in his line. The farmers have
made good crops. God has abundantly
blessed them, but the price fixers
and the money folks have not
so generous., They have given them

• To my friends of Martin County:
I wish to take this opportunity to thank you for the many
kimines e» shown my family and myself whfle a citizen of your
' community. I assure you that it is with sadness that 1 am leavim?
the County of Martin, but when duty calls (especially when it ia
to mother or dad) I feel that 1 should an-wer it. I have sold my
business here to Mr. B. S. Courtney, whom you all know and who
is in a position to meet any competitive price and furnish you with
quality and A-l servee. Mr. Courtney will very soon be moved to
his new store, where he will run a fir b-class furniture and funeral
' , establishment. Any kindness that my warm friends of Martin can
do for Mr. Courtney 1 will tfreatly appreciate. 1 will stay in close
■ * { contact with Mr. Courtney, and any service that I can be to him
or to any friends of Martin County I a sure you that I will do so. -

remain, • j

would have the people know we lived
just 12 milea west of Windsor. Our

jby the Roanoke," remained on this

i hibit. And while we proclaimed our
I greatness direct from hundreds of j
I mouths to the throngs who visited
Windsor, we sincerely hope no bad'

Martin countv missed a good chance!

to tell about a good county and its j

The legislature is at it again. Look
out for laws. Pray for the day when
they meet and repeal some that are
of no value but are doing harm.
