Thanksgiving! The soul of Peach
County should throb with it.
Plant a tree on Arbor Day, next
Tuesduy.
Dear South Georgia Methodist
Conference: Christmas gift! Give us
Jtev. T. H. Thomson for another year.
He who gives thanks gains much.
Don’t be too thankful that you are
not as other men.
True thanks is more precious than
fine rubies and gold.
A thankful spirit is a conquering
heart.
Only a sinner can refrain from
giving thanks to God. None but ft
coward fears to give; thanks among
me n. !!

The Choir invisible! Who are
members of it,if not all those who in
any way are doing the day’s work,
whatever it may be, as well as they
know how; who are trying to make
the world happier and pleasanter for
those to whom their lives are natural¬
ly bound.—John W. Chadwick.

Murray Vs. Anthoine
E T Murray said to Tom Anthoine:
“Keep hammering on that water tank
and you’re gonna tear it down first
thing you know.” A few days later
Murray passed the mysterious spot
and saw parts of the tank lying on
the ground. “Uh-huh!" he exclaimed
in derision, “I told you so.” Anthoine
claims the alibi that accidents will
happen with the best of experts.
Hut ter milk-Alcohol
Two weeks ago we announced that
a chemist-friend has said buttermilk
contained two per cent, alcohol. Since
that time our supply of butermilk has
grown constantly more difficult to
maintain. We desire to announce to
the public in this neck o’ the woods
that our chemist-friend has modified
his analysis. If necessary we shall
quote him as entirely withdrawing it.
Savannah Press
The Savannah Press was thirty-four
years old last Thursday. It survives
with flying colors as one of the most
distinguished editorial voices in the
Southland, thanks to the genius of
the owner, Pleasant A. Stovall, and
its managing editor, W. G. Sutlive,
with which it has flourished since its
infant lips kissed the ocean breeze in
the cool of the evening on November |
19, 1891. We regret to learn that the
bubbling journalistic spirit, Billy
Sutlive, is that old, because we now
shall have to call his Mister.
Now Up To Peach Thursday'
Macon county voted Inst
by an overwhelming majority a bond
issue p pave the Dixie Highway from
the Peach county line to the Sumter
county line. Sumter county already
has paved a part of this highway with¬
in her bounds and soon will complete
her link. It is now up to Peach county
to fill the missing link. She will do
it like lightning as soon as the bars
of legal limitations are let down by
the completion of a legal registration
list, which will be next Spring. With
the violets we will bloom, oh, sweet
Marie!

WHAT THE SAGES HAVE SAID ABOUT
t ,r ■ .*
IMMORTALITY
Those who hope for no other life
are dead even for this.—Goethe,
The seed dies into a new life, and
so does man.—G. MacDonald.
The thought of being nothing after
death is a burden insurpotable to a
virtuous man; we naturally aim at
happiness, and cannot bear to have it
confined to our present being—Day
den.
When I consider the wonderful , , .
ae- „
tivity of , the mind, , so great . a memory
of what is past, and such a capacity
of penetrating ' ' into the future; when
, I behold ,. such a number , of . arts and .
and . such , multitude . of - dis-. ...
sciences, a
thence • . . . I , believe „> and
eoveries arising,
am firmly ... persuaded i , that a nature | I
which contains so many things within
itself cannot but be immortal.—Cicero
Those who live in the Lord never
see each other for the last time.—Ger¬
man Motto.
The spirit of man, which God in¬
spired, cannot together perish with
this corporeal clod.—Milton.
All men’s soule are immortal, but!
the souls of the righteous are both im- !
mortal and divine—Socrates.
Nothing more powerfully argues a ]
life beyond this than the failure of
our ideas here.—jEach gives us only
fragments of humanity; fragments of
heat, of mind, of charity, of love, of
virtue.—He who inspires such thought
and hopes, will surely give a sphere
of their relaxation.
Whatsoever that be within u,s, that
feels thinks, desires, and animates, is
The Beautiful Land of Palestine.
Mr. Herman Berneteln. edit..*r of The
Jewi.h Tribune and a persistent traveler,
visited Palestine recently and contribute!
to his journal a series of interesting ar¬
ticles. From the first of these we clip the
paragraphs below. Hi3 first instalment ,
was entitled, "The Living Land of Hales
tine To-day.”—Editor, Jewish Missionary
Magazine.
I went to Palestine with a sense of
fear in my heart. I was afraid that I
might be disillusioned.
1 have seen Jewish sufferings and
sorrows and despair in many lands,
in various parts of the world, and I
have seen Jewish hopes strained to
the ^ea^ing point. I have seen the
ent huaiasm and the pathos with which
Jews everywhere in large centers and
jn djstant little settlements have pin
ned their last faith to Palestine. And
that is why my heart was filled with
fear as I approached the land of
Israel’s dreams and hopes.
Out of tiny Palestine came so much
beauty and grandeur, so much moral
strength, such lofty ideals and so
much bloodshed, so much faith and so
much sorrow, prophets of peace and
prophets of the sword.
What is happening in tiny Pales
tine to-day? What work is being done
there? What ideals, what aspirations.
what hopes, what future is there in
this little land with a great past?
What form of life is being lived there
to-day? Is Palestine destined to have
a great tomorrow even as it had a
great yesterday? But above all, what
of to-day ?
Old and New Cities.
T traveled through the little land
from Hebron up to Kfar Gileadi. 1
VIS ited the old and the new Jewish co'.
onies, tlu> old and the new cities, and
1 found may be described as a
veritable miracle of to-day. The Jews,
in loss than .five , years, have trans
formed Palestine into a living, throb
lung, beautiful little land—into the
living land of Israel.
The Holy Land is becoming a l' v *
ing land again, the Holly Language
that have come to Fort Valley and
Peach County since the latter’s crea
ion a year ago.
Many things that we have desired
are yet lacking in the community
structure. With tier most glorious
achievements, any community worth
while will feel the inadequacy of hei
accom plishments, because with each
stop upward her vision will he en
larged, just as a man who climbs a
mountain beholds a larger and more
wonderful world in which to labor
and to love.
EVOLUTION
Chief Eagle of the Otee tribe of
Indians 'has thrown some light on
the question of evolution by stating
that when anything is placed before
Indians ail Indians come to divide;
therefore the Indian comes from
spirit, God. But he claims that when
anything is placed before a monkey
he grabs all of it and as the white
man does the same way he must come
from the monkey. That ought to be
sufficient logic to settle the question.

celestial, divine and, con¬
imperishable.—Aristotle.
What springs from earth dissolves
earth again, and heaven-born
things fly to their native seat.—Mar¬
Antoninus.

deep, into my ears the truth—then

We do not believe in immortality

solution i^ the blazing evidence of im¬
mortality.—Emerson.
How gloomy would be the mansion
of the dead to him who d j d not i( now
that he should never die; that what
no w acts, shall continue its agency,
and what now thinks, shall think on
forever.—Johnson.
The date of human life is too short
to recompense the care which attend
the most private conditions; therefore
it is that our souls are made as it

is becoming an everyday, living lan¬
guage. The exiled people are repatriat¬
ed. The oppressed children of Israel,
scattered throughout the world, are
returning to the land of their fathers,
to their old homestead, to escape per¬
secution, to be sure, but chiefly to
work, to build anew, to live in peace,
to know liberty, in the smiling and
j enchanting dazzling sunshine, skies, amidst under the the blue stern, and
rugged and majestic mountains and
hills, in the valleys, deserted and neg
lected for many centuries, now trans-
1 formed’anew into flowering fields
j and gardens, by the greatest and of will all
magics, the magic of work of
power,
The Jews came, as yet in small num
bers, they saw the land once more
and they are taking possession of it
peacefully, slowly, without forcing out
the other inhabitants, without inten
tions of forcing them out. The Jews
are coming to Palestine not for war
but for peace, not to start new con
Diets but to build their_ longed-for
their prayed-for ancestral hen

Status of Holy Places.
| It is small, it is still barren in
places, it is rich in stones. It bears
the imprint of the neglect of cen
turies. It is not exactly a land flowing
with milk and honey. It must have
seem ed so to the Jews only after their
wandering in the desert. People earn
their bread there in the sweat of their
brows. Palestine is, perhaps, not so
beautiful ns Switzerland is, or Italy or
some of the picturesque places in the
United States. The Alps are taller
t |ian the hills of Judea, and California
j s r j c her and more fertile. But Pales-'
( ;„ 0 is Eretz Isroel, (The Land of Is
ra el). It is an eternal inspiration to
the Jewish people. The beauty and
grandeur of the little country, the
majestic hills of Judea, the rocky
mountains that inspired the Prophets
0 f lddi the weird caves and the beau¬
tiful valleys, the most brilliant colors
and shades of the sky and the moun¬
tain tops, the Jordan, and the Sea of
Galilee, the Dead Sea, and the Medi¬
terranean, the snow-peaked Mt. Her

Jews to teach by example without try¬

serve as a great and noble lesson to
other nations that are drifting to new'

Fear has often been expressed about
the protection of the Holy Places in
Palestine. I have found that the Jews
in Palestine are most eager that the
Holy Places be properly protected, to
| the fullest satisfaction of the religious
j elements among the Christians and
the Mohammedans, that the exact
status and scope of such Holy Places
be clearly defined and fixed in order
that any misunderstandings leading to
strife and calamities may be averted.
The Jews are above all concerned
in securing absolute peace and harmo-

to make Palestine their museum, how
ever sacred its historic traditions are
fo the Jews. They are striving to
make it their national home, not their
national museum.
There are students among these
builders, philosophers, physicians, en¬
gineers, lawyers, architects. There are
Luftmenschen among them, people
who lived on air in other lands, who
were misfits everywhere, because of
discriminatory laws and restrictions.
There are merchants among them and
Talmudic scholars. There are prod¬
ucts of Western civilization and prod¬
ucts of Eastern civilization, some who
have gone in advance of the ideas of
the West and others who remained
changed as though they still lived in
the fifteenth century.
Palestine Needs , ,, \\ orkers. ,
In Palestine the most , interesting ,.
experiment in modern times is taking
place. From all corners of the earth
the dry bones of Israel are gathered.
There they come to life, and there
they give new life to the neglected lit-
lte country, the cradle of the three
£ reat faiths, the scene of so many
bloody battles, the spring of the ^
world’s loftiest moral codes of law and
justice, the source of the greatest
strifes and sorrow's. They come there
as builders, not as destroyers, as mes
sengers of peace, not of war. They are
taking their place in the sun. They
come from various lands and they
bring with them the best experiences
from all lands, and they are forging
the future of the living land.
Palestine needs more workers there,
more farmers, more commerce and in
dustry, without profiteers and with¬
out speculators. Palestine is receiving
