This is Thanksgiving Week and
living being should be exceed
fly proud of the fact that he or she
nvn.g and will have an opportum-
of making expression lor the
ntleas and gracious blessings that
been bestowed during the year,
feel that this should be observeu
a like manner in comparison to
first Thanksgiving services heid
our forefathers, the founders of
s great country of ours, for surely
have everything it seems to foe
>inkful for this year above all oth-
1 like to recall to my mind the
ry of early childhood when I was
inspired with the reading of the
counts of the celebration of the
Thanksgiving Day. And when x
member the trials and tribulations
d privations that the first settlers
th which they faced the future, 1
thrilled beyond expression. Truly
suld we sing that great old hymn,
aith of Our Fathers,” living still,
will be true to thee till death.
It was tiirough faith in God, faith
each other, and faith in their work
at these men and women were able
go forward. When we read of the
iffitulties that they had to overcome
did overcome, we are brought to
e realization that surely if they
overcome them under adverse
editions, .we can overcome all dif-
flilties if our faith will only hold
it, and 1 believe that it will.
I can’t help fout compare this
hanksgiving season with those of
e early settlers of this country. We
'e had adverse conditions confront-
? us for the past several years;
nditior.s which seemed as unsur-
ountable, but a man came along at
•e opportune time who had faith in
' American people and he felt that
ith their courage and the countless
sources at their command this
"at country could be brought out
chaos and want into plenty and
ppiness, and Franklin D. Roosevelt
t about the task more than a year
of rekindling that faith in the
ry beings of every citizen of this
untry. Today, that faith has re-
rr.od and these same people know
at to the faith of President Roose-
h has been linked the faith of
ery other individual. They have
fih in him as the saviour of our
°ple from want and they are thank-
' °f the opportunity of giving him
3 chance to return to the rank of
happy people.
should all face this week with
ar.kful hearts and strive to do
er .vthing possible toward making
'•ryone realize his individual part
manifesting their thanks for them
•' fanfold blessings that are being
-eived each day. When we realize
31 just yesterday, as it seems, our
lole
made this a week of Thanksgiving
here in Georgia; first we are thank
ful for such a great man as Franklin
Roosevelt; and that he has had such
an important part in the transforma
tion of this great land; second, we
are thankful that we are permitted to
live in a land where God is recog
nized as our eternal Saviour; third,
that we have so many friends who
can share this spirit of thanksgiving
with us; fourth, that we have been
permitted to he a part and parcel of
the great recovery .program, and
through our continued faith will do
our full share toward full recovery;
fifth, that we are at this time per
mitted to share with each other the
bountiful harvest that has been
gathered in.
Let us cultivate the habit of thank
fulness, just as we have to cultivate
any other habit; practice has much
to do witn forming any nauit. One
good way to begin to practice the
habit of thankfulness is to remember
to express appreciation for all sorts
of good things. And don’t let us for
get to express to our friends our
thanks for the many kindnesses
shown during these months, and I
believe this expression will help us
all to be more appreciative of our
friends. As this appreciation in
creases, we find ourselves thanking
God for the gift of our friends.
If we will use this Week as it should
he, what a blessing everyone will re
ceive from the part they nave had in
the celebration, and as you give
thanks for it all, have uppermost in
j our mind the asking of the continu
al good health and happiness of our
dear Franklin Roosevelt.

The many friends of Mrs. A. J.

Rural Carrier A. J. Reamy, of that
office were shocked to read an
count of her death the past week,
which occurred at her home last Sun

suffered only a few days with pneu
monia.
Funreal services were conducted
Sunday afternoon from the residence
with Rev. W. F. Smith officiating. In
terment was in Oak Hill cemetery in
Quitman,
Besides her husband, she left one
son, Judson, of New York, and two
daughters, Susie Dell ar.d Margaret,
both of Quitman, and many relatives
both in Georgia and Florida.
Mrs. C. F. Carter, of Quitman, paid
the following tribute to the memory
of Mrs. Reamy on the day of her
death:
“Today earth is bereft of a beautiful
life in the home-going of Mrs. A. J.
Reamy, Quitman, but Heaven is rich
er because of her entrance there.
“Here’s was a life of strength,
loyalty, courage and devotion that Is
rarely comingled with gentle tender
ness, and such calm serenity that was
a blessing to all with whom she
came in contact.
“She filled well the honored place
given by God to woman—that of ^ife
mother and home-maker.
“She was a loyal member of the
Baptist church, and outstanding ad
herent to the cause of temperance,
and a citizen who taught by her daily
life the virtues of noble character.
“Truly, she is not dead—
Only left us for a season;
We do not know 'God’s ways
We cannot guess His reason
For taking to Himself
This soul of such rare beauty from
the earth,
But we bow in true submission
For He knows her worth.”

Injured Carrier Writes
Dear Brother Wall:
Ten weeks ago last Friday I made
my last trip on my route, and I am
still unable to perform the duties
caused from un injury to my foot
"'hen I stepped on a nail which
pierced through my foot. My doctor
advises me that I may be abie to use
my foot by Christmas, and 1 am
hopeful that 1 can.
While confined to my home I so
wish that I could write something of
interest for our news columns in The
Journal, but I wart to express my
appreciation to the brethren for their
thoug y'Tulness since I have been in
jured, and I am glad that the injury
hasn’t proven any more serious tnan
it has.
The contest between Brother Levie
and myself resulted in my making
the first attempt to visit, havii g met
him at his brother’s home, who was
sick, he being driven over there by
his wife. We had a nice long chat,
a love feast and a Thanksgivii g serv
ice al in one, for we both had been
near death’s door.
1 had read the shocking news of
the death of Mrs. House in our news
columns of The Journal. How we will
miss her, and the sweet sunshine she
carried into each carriers’ meeting. 1
know every brother and sister joins
in love and sympathy for Bro. House.
May the love of God go with him and
the little daughter and keep them al
ways.
Have dropped a card to Bro. C. M,
Pardon, who is confined at Veterans'
Hospital No. 48, Atlanta, and I know
just how much he appreciates hear
ing from the brethren, for I, too,have
teen compelled to remain away from
my loved ones at a hospital sick.
The brethren who contributed to
the relief of Bro. Karl F. Martin’s
family surely ought to get a great in
spiration out of reading Mrs. Mar
tin’s letter of appreciation which ap
peared in the news columns last
week. My great regret is that due to
continued expenses of my injury, 1
am not permitted to respond to more
calls such as this, but 1 am thankful
that I can smile and look forward
again to entering the service. I miss
so much tlie daily contact with my
patrons, and they seem to miss see
ing me, as expressed in such a sweet
manner by so many of them. I am
going to try to begin work on Dec. 1
if my foot is sufficiently healed, but
can’t tell yet.
May God’s richest blessings rest
upon you and all the brethren, and 1
want again to thark each one for
their thoughtful rememberance of
me since my confinement.
Fraternally yours,
J. Barry, Vienna, Ga.
COMMENT—Brother Barry did not
write the above letter for publication
in our news columns, but since firs
message was somewhat of a general
nature, we have decided to pass it on
to the brethren, who I am sure will
be happy to learn that he is on the
road to recovery. He and Bro. Jewell
Levie, of Montezuma, have had a^
hard siege with the injuries each se-
ceived within a day of each other,
and we all are glad to know that both
are now recuperating and hope to be
back on their routes before long.

In view of the fact that all
farmers in Taylor county will be
called upon in December to express
their views as to whether they de
sire thut the Bankhead Act be con
tinued next year, 1 am giving below
several points which l believe will be
of interest in connection with the cot
ton situation at present.
1. Irrespective of the decision of
cotton farmers on the Bankhead Act,
the 1935 cotton adjustment program,
with its rental and parity payments
to voluntary co-operators will con
tinue. This announcement has been
made by the Secretary of Agriculture.
2. It is the estimate of the AAA
that under the voluntary cotton ad
justment program, but without the
Bankhead Act next year, total pro
duction will he severul million bales
more than totul production would be
if the Bankhead Act iwere in effect.
3. The total allotment under the
Bankhead Act for 1935-36,
event it is made effective, is not fixed \
in the Act hut will he determined by
the Secretary of Agriculture after In
vestigation of the available supply !
and probable market requirements.
4. In the event the Bankhead Act
is made effective for 1935-36, a: d af-
welfare of the state and nation
be served best. He expressed
hope that every cotton producer
the state would avuil himself of
opportunity to indicate his views
tms important question, “The
cision rests with furmers,” iie de
clared.
The local county agent will short
ly announce a list of polling places
in this county, und they will be ar-
ruged as conveniently u» possible to
all voters. The county cotton com
mittee ami a special committee se
lected in each community will be in
charge of the referendum. The bal
lots will he secret.
The polls will he open from 8 a. m.
to 6 p. m. Returns will he compiled
on tally sheets ar.d forwarded to the
office of the county agent who will

Rural Carrier Succumbs to
Automobile Injuries
The brethren will be shocked to
learn of the sad death of Bro. Roy
Reeves, a rural carrier at Roswell,
Ga., whose death occurred on Satur
day, Nov. 10, at St. Joseph’s Hos
pital in Atlanta.
Brother G. A. Wilson sent an ac
count of Brother Reeves’ death and
iDneral to this office for publication,
which appeared in the Marietta Jour
nal and' Cobb County Progress of the
week of Nov. 16, and which we are
publishing herewith.
The members of our association
join in expressing to the bereaved
family deepest sympathy.
The tribute follows:
Roy Reeves, beloved rural mail
carrier of Roswell Route 2, was un
able to overcome injuries sustained
in an automobile accident In Roswell
last week, and died in St. Joseph’s
Hospital Saturday morning.
The funeral was conducted at the
Roswell Methodist church, Sunday
with Rev. J. W. Segars, Rev. J. K
Kelley and Rev. Mercer Williams
officiating. Interment was in his
home church cemetery in Newton.
The largest cfowd ever to attend a
funeral in Roswell was present to
pay their last respect to Roy, and
the love and esteem in which he was
held was evidenced by the presence
of this large group of bereaveu
mends and relatives.
Roy was only 38 years of age, and
had lived in Roswell lor tne last 14
years. Born and reared in old 'Milton
county in Newton District, he was
married in 1917 to Miss veima jett.
For a number of years he taught
senool and was teaching at the time

Roswell, known then as Route No. 31.
He has carried this same route lor
lo consecutive years, ar.d would have
ueen transferred to Alpharetta
January to take over a route lormer-
ly carried hy Dodge "Teasley and
Marvin Bagley. •
The annual June singing in Alpha
retta will i.ot he the same since Roy
is gone. He was as regular as the
singing, and none enjoyed it more
than did he. Not only did he sing
here, hut attended singings all around
He had a fine voice and loved to use
it, and has made quite a reputation
as a singer, having won in several
contests.
He was a member of the Mt. Pisgah
church, in Newton. Also, he was an
active member of the Roswell Mason
ic Lodge for 17 years, having joined
this order at the age of 21. His fel
low Masons were in charge of the
services at the grave.
Mr. Reeves is survived by his wife
two children. Victoria and Gussie; his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Reeves
and several brothers and sisters. His
absence will be keenly felt in Roswell
and all along his mail route, where
he was seen daily hy the many people
he served, and the Progress wishes
to take this opportunity of expressing
on the behalf of his many friends
words of consolation and sympathy
to his bereaved family.
Many lines from the mount across
the root and on to the third phalange
shows a high spirit and determina
tion to succeed.
