A Sign of the
Times
Air navigation is on the way, the poles are flying
flags—yet another "facer" remains—
When all pianos look alike to most people how is
one to know what make to buy.
First-hand information and unequivocal satisfac-
tion are guaranteed to purchasers of the
Hamilon
Piano
Here a name of highest standing in piano manu-
factury vouches for the slow, sound censtruction which
determines whether or not a piano will justify the
price* Flawless materials, finished skill, the close
supervision of detail of a great factory compose this
instrument.
Musically the Hamilton is delightful. Due to a
rare staying-in-tune quality it remains in demand for
foreign countries year after year. On home soil its
friends are legion.

Well, Christmas has come and
gone with its laughter and tears.

Let us face the breeze and meet
the new year with an optimistic
spirit. _________
Hang up your hammer, Mr.
Knocker, and join the throng of
boosters.
The watchword for Aspermont
during the vear 1912 should and
must be, DO.
* God pity the man who is ever
looking on the dark side of the
picture of life.
Stonewall county will start out
at the beginning of the new year
with bright prospects.
A man's mistakes are the step-
ping stones that lift him out of
the quagmire of failure.
Put this in your pipe and
smoke it: Aspermont is going
to grow in the year 1912.
We believe in the gospel of
cheerfulness; it's the oil that
runs the machinery of life.
The flood-tide will soon be
here. Are we going to launch
our ship of Progress on the tidal
wavé?
If you will put your eaf to the
ground and listen, you will hear
the rumbling of better times for
Aspermont.
The foundation stone of every
man's life is failure. Life's fail-
ures are the rungs in the ladder
that lead to the higher things of
life.
Now, gentlemen, aije you going
to tune up your fiddle for the
new year? Let's do that once
and all dance to the tune of
Progress.
Opportunity is going to knock
at our door this vear and we
must take off the padlock of
jealousy and strife, and let our
watchword be UNITY.
Shuckin's, we are all right over
here in Stonewall county. The
great drouth is broken, the val-
leys are soaked and in the spring
time the soil will give up its fat-
ness.
Let's pUii back the mystic cur-
tain and take a peep into the
future, and get a glimpse of the
good things that the god of desti-
nv is holding in trust for Asper-
mont.
It wouldn't surprise us if old
Santa Claus didn't put two great
big Christmas presents in Asper-
mont's striped stocking. Stay
on your nest and be ready to
cackle when the hen lays the
golden eggs.
God Almighty and the devil,
too, hates a quitter. It's the man
who stays at his post in spite of
all difficulties and works when
the sun of prosperity fails to
shine on his side of the mountain,
that wins in this world.
Get up your usual batch of
resolutions and put them in the
basket of2 time, and tho' you do
not keep them, you will be bet-
ter off for having done so. It is
better to try, and fail, than not
to try at all.
The gospel of smile lights up
the dark places in the souls of
men. The man who smiles is a
welcome guest in every house-
hold. His presence drives away
sorrow, and eases the pain of
those who suffer.
In the spring time when the
zephyr breezes blow, the fertile
valleys will put on their garb of
green and the fields will blossom
with the golden grain, and pros-
perity will slip her hands into
the pockets of those who toil.
The men who have come to
Stonewall county and planted
themselves either on the farm or
in the mercantile business have
all done well, but the men who
have got scared and sold out
when the wind did not blow from
the right direction, are the men
who have failed.
Stockholders Meeting
Notice is hereby given that a
meeting of the Stockholders of
the First National Bank of As-
permont will be held at the office

purpose of electing a board of
directors for said bank and the
