Youg peole will hear tales of fortunes being made in some distant locality and they will break the home ties and go to much expense in order to migrate to that place and start in business. And in nine cases out ot ten, they find the ground well occupi ed, and chances no better than they ' ' are at home. m: ' The best thing for these young folks is to make a very careful study of opportunities that exist right around home. Watch the people who are doing well in business, study how they reached their success. Learn the needs and desires of the people and whether those needs and desires arg" being " well supplied, or whether an improvement of service would bring results for some on. - There are always plenty of chances around Franklin for people who look below the surface. Simplicity in Government. i President Coolige thinks that his . : inaugural ceremonies on March 4 should follow rather modest lines, s thus imitating President Harding's idea that his introduction - to office should avoid the traditional pomp that has accompanied this event in the ptfst. ' , , ,. Monarchical government like pomp and display, since it is said to' impress - the" common people with the great ness and majesty of their1 power. Such a reason for ostentation is ab sent in a republician form of govern- ment. . ' If organizations desire to join tin inaugural parade at their own costs, 'nd 'if the residents pf Washington ish to put vpA money fdr display, t Atfr 'shouhr be no objections. But the $50,000 which the government ap propriated to put Mr. Harding in office, would seem to be enough to i, place of Mr. Coolige in the president' . ial chair with all due dignity. , ' The idea prevails' among some people that there must be a big public demonstration, with elaborate deco rations, and Jong parades of march ing men, in order to emphasize the importance of a public occasion like this. But really important things do not have to be noticed in that way. -.-avTheir importance does not have to be , emphasized artificially. It makes it self felt-naturally by the new ideas and the beneficial results that flow from such an event. The most earnest thinkers of these times feel that we need more sir v plicity.We all do things in too elab: ; orate a way, with too much fusss and iieatbetsand expense. A president of the Uinte3SStates does a good thing when he sets an xample of simplictiy Mr. Coolige is right in feeling that spready demonstrations for the inaug uration of a president are not called for,."" : Not many people would go into .? store in. Franklin and buy anything with their eyes shut, but a lot of them ,Jrue done the same thing in buy ing stuff from a catalog description. The report of increased income among the farmers will set the fake stock salesman headed for the rural districts. Christmas Revelry. The history of Christinas is an in congruous one, suggesting what crude ideas the acicnt people had of cele brating the coming of Jesus Christ. An occasion that would naturally be one of spiritual aspiration and thankfulness was for centuries en joyed by multitudes as one of glut tony and drunkenness. This occur ed, because it seemed necessary then to allow people to enjoy many of the old customs that had been handed down from the heathen festivals, which thus became connected witn the Christian celebration. In ancient times the people were allnwprl on this occasion to celebrate the "Feast of Fools," as a means of allowing human folly to have the outlet it demanded and get it oyer with. But one of the acient theolog ians remarked that "if all the devils in HpII had nut their heads toeethcr to, devise a feast that should utterly scandalize Christianity, they.couia tint imnrove unon this one." ' But even in those old days, there were many who recognized tne true meaning of the day. it is a sign qi im nrnorpss of civilization that our mod em celebration has so few grotesque feature. Such abuses as now attach to the Christmas gift customs seem very slight compared witn tne oia excessess. . Tn manv localities and homes now Christmas is the scene of the purest merriment that the whole year sees Pamilv tradition call for a iollifica- tion, and the spirit of mirth seizes nnnn iA and vounfir. Sedat ancients perform stunts they thought theyhad forgotten years ago, and tney anq the young crowd vie in playing irn.K on each other, and the homes re sound with ringing voices. All which , is as it should be. Hu man nature needs a complete obliter ation of care -and anxiety from time to time, and it is not unfitting on a day which was heralded with the song ?Joy to' the World". Santa Claus Santa Claus must be a hard hearted old fellow, indeed, if he can read the letters of the children in this issue of the Press and remain deaf to their appeals. Most of the children want only a few things to make them hap py. In their modest - request they have played iair with Santa and we know that old Santa Claus will read their letters and make every effort to bring joy and happiness to the little ones by doing as they wish. If. perchance, kind old Santa should fail to visit a home where dwells a child, tears, heartaches and the keen est dissappointment will be the re sults. Instead of joyous laguhter on Christmas morn tear dimmed eyes, filled with tragedy, will look into the faces of Mother and Father and won der why good Saint Nicholas passed in the night with oever a pause. Cal lous, indeed must be old Santa if he can thus ruthlessly trample on the heart of -a child.' " ' If old Santa Claus must make sac rifices that the hearts of children may be gladdened, let him make.them with abandon. In the years to come the tender memories of such sac rifiices will lepay him a thousand fold. - Future of the Meat Industry As President Coolize stated at the Chicago Live Stock exposition, S3 per cent ot the agricultural production of the nation comes from live stock These remarkable figures show that the American people are a meat eat ing nation, and they give reason to believe that there is a great chance for the development of the live stock business. As the country crows more , nros- perous, not merely will .the number of meat eaters be increased, but many families which now feel. they can not' attord much meat, will use this food more freely. Young people who learn the live stock business and he- come, skilful in the care of farm ani mals, are devoting their attention to an industry that is sure to grow arid become more . profitable. .' Making Their Own Clothes Manv nractical emintrv wntrpn hc- lieve it is desirable to teach their girls how to make their own dressess at an early age. They suggest, providing tnem with attractive patterns and materials, giving them such help as they need, and. in a. short time they will learn how to do it. ..Many country girls are sejf con scious .and awkward at srhnol. he- cause they are ta little ashamed, of their clothes which are perhaps good as their families can efford to buy. When they' learn to make their own dressess, they Can have new ones more frequently, and as thd results or making a better appearance, they feel more confidence and are able to do better at school. A girl who is shy and embarrassed because 6he feels her clothes are not right is not going to get the best from her school. When she has learned to rely on her self in this mater, she is in a pos ition to make the best for her edu cation. ; Successful business concerns don't spend much time cussing their com petitors..

In Memory of Little Genelia Keener Being little twin sisters Martha Genclia and Martha Genettia Keen er were born December ll, 1916. On November I4th 1924 God sent his Angels for little Genelia and took her home to rest where her trials of pain and sorrow are over. Heretofore we knew she had very bad heart trouble and tried to escape all dis eases because of her weakness. But while going to school she took whooping cough which was the cause of her death. She was sick, almost five weeks from the time she took whooping cough and bore her sick ness with such patience there could be no one surpass her. The physician attended more than two weeks and we believe done all he could do to bring the little one back to the road of health. All Was done seemly that lovingr and caring hands could do to cheer and brighten the life of the little one. Our neighbors came with helping hands and relatives from far and near came bringing numerous little gifts of many kinds with the hopes of pleasing and cheering the darling one back to play. But God knows best and doeth all things best and when , He looked down from Heaven and beckoned our darlingAo come, He crowned her with that precious gift no other one can give Our darling one, the precious jewel of our home is gone. She was so affectionate to all so obedient to father and mother that it almost is unbearable to think of There is no one on earth, no words to be spoken, at this time of trial and trouble, that can efface the pain from our hearts. But we can look to God and find comfort for it is joy to know little Genelia dwells with the Angels We humble ourselves supplaint that God will perpare the hearts of those left behind that they be .ready to meet Him in peace and rejoice with loved ones gone before. For it is so lonely here on earth without our darling ones, that we care not to stay without her. Her sweet little voice we hear no more , and her loving, smiling little face we cannot see, but we think of the little one as an Angel on earth, not dying but ascending from this lonely ground to that happy home above where there is no more pain nor death, but sweet peace; and rest. Yes God gives His loved ones rest and joy beyond compare. He knew He could care for our darling one far better than wc .r We know God cares for alt his love ones, but He wanted little Genelia to make his band brighter. , Not long before the end came! the little one in her wanderings talked of the pretty pictures and little Dorothy her little infant sister, whom she could see falling behind her little bed which we believ was Heaven and the little Angels. - Our little one's life here on earth was but a little while, seven years. She was a child of love and kindness. He motto was, "be kind to every body , which the faint little voice uttered while on its deathbed. It seemed there could not be an evil thought impressed upon her Bweet little mind, and is an example to all She leaves behind to mourn her de parture father, mother, four sisters and two brothers. Mr. and. Mrs. Geo. M. Keener Ella Genttia, Annie and Dorothy Keener Lee and Iva Keener. We supplicate our God Supreme to make ready each and every heart that when He calls for us to come we cai? close our eyes not in death but eter- nal happiness and be with our loved ones ever more. The time has" cone bv when the country bov could be mad content ed at home by the traditional exer cises in the woodshed. ... , t FOUR GENERATIONS Texas Lady Says Her Family Has Been Taking Thedford's Black -Draught When Needed, for Many Years.
