Thanksgiving Day. Thursday, Nov. 27th, has been designated by President Roosevelt and Governor Terrell as the annual Thanksgiving Day. In the proclamation published last Thursday morning Gov. Terrell says: “On that day I earnestly request that the people abstain from their secular occupations and assemble in their plaoes of worship, or about their family altars, and unite in thanks to Almighty God for His multiplied blessings^ I especially request that they temember by words and acts the widow and the orphan, the poor and afflicted, and all those who may be unhappy from any cause.” As a whole, the people of the United States, the people of Geor gia, have touch for which to be thankful, and specific expression of thankfulness is certainly due Him from whom all good comes. Our privilege is-without limit, and the opportunity boundless to enjoy the bounteous gifts of nature, the beneficence of good government that hinders not good deeds and re strains only the performance of evil. From the munificent hand of on all-powerful God oomes all that .iB good and true. Is it too much that we devote one day ont of 365 to thanksgiving servioe to the Great Giver, bo expressed that our deeds may testify that our words are true? "Middle Counties Fair.” From Jones county and through the Maoon Telegraph comes the proposition to organize among the farmers of middle^ Georgia counties a fair association for the purpose of holding an annual “Middle Counties Fair.” All the counties contiguous to Maoon have been named, and the declaration made that such a fair would give these oounties most ex cellent advertising. We heartily endorse tlie proposi tion, and suggest that those wh" are in the lead have a confemi' meeting before the close of tin. year. Not so much for the advertising if it that we endorse the proposing., but because we believe such an or ganization will cause a county fair to be held in each of the counties becoming a party to the association. With a county fair in each of eight or ten counties, and the best exhibits of eaoh of these earried to the central fair, the cause of agri culture generally would be very much advanced, while every farmer furnishing exhibits would be direct ly benefitted. Houston is in the “circuit” named, and if the scheme goes, we here and now put the other counties on notice that Houston can capture the first prize at the first fair if the proper effort shall be made.
