Well, folks, the past is gone and
we can do nothing about It. The
record is written.

paper may have accomplished in the
six years we have just completed
for good or bad cannot be changed

can profit by the mistakes of the
past. One thing is sure, we cannot
stand still— either we go ahead or
backwards. And this is as true of
our town as it Is for this newspaper.
