A Day of Thanksgiving
President Cleveland has issued
his proclamation appointing Thurs.
<iay, one initi aay of November, as
a day of thanksgiving and prayer.
That will be a national holiday,
and everybody will take a rest on
that day.
It is well the day should be
observed in a proper manner, as
our people certainly have much to
be thankful for, in the abundance
with which the country has been
blessed in the harvests, the general
health, and our increasing prosper¬
ity.
No nation has more to be thank¬
ful for than we have, and it is but
proper we should set apart one
day of public thanksgiving to the
All-Wise Ruler of the Universe for
his mercies and manif°td blessings.
Postponed.
The Star is informed the chrys¬
anthemum exhibit, which was to
have been held at Music Hall to
day, has been postponed until next
Tuesday, the 19th inst.
The postponement, we learn,
was by request of a large majority
of the ladies interested in the ex¬
hibit, as their flowers were not
ready.
The exhibition will, therefore,
take place next Tuesday, Tuesday
night, and Wednesday, at Music
Hall.
If promises to be a very fine ex¬
hibition, and we hope to see it well
patrpnized.

The Star is just in receipt of a
note from Mr. Ed. T. Kelly, broth¬
er of Mr. Charlie Kelly, in which
he states that Charlie is now at
Whiteside, Tennessee, and will
come to Atlanta about the first of
December,
They will both probably visit
Covington about the first week in
December, when Charlie will be
glad to see his old friends.
It is about 23 years since Char¬ )
lie Kelly left Covington, and many
changes have taken place here dur¬
ing his long absence. Many of the
older citizens, who knew him in
his boyhood, have hied, and boys
that were bht “children when he

And Charlie, too, has greatly
changed.

him back.
Newton County Day
Newton county is to have a day
at<the Atlanta exposition'
It will be next Tuesday, the
19th of November.
Through the efforts of Mrs. W.
C. Clark, of Covington, the mana¬
gers of the exposition have desig¬
nated the 19th inst. as Newton
county day, and everybody is cor¬
dially invited to go up at that time
and help to make it a great success
for our county.
The 19th will also be Georgia
day at the exposition, and the leg¬
islature will adjourn and go out m
a body.
The exercises will be held at the
auditorium, and will be highly in¬
teresting to all Georgians.
The Newton county feature, of
the day should especially be made
a success.
The Newton county window has
been completed, and is now placed
in the Georgia .state building, and
will be dedicated on that day. It
is a beautiful piece of work of ar¬
tistic design, and will attract much
attention at the exposition.
The ladies having the work in
charge are due much credit for
DmE success in the matter,

Judge Crisp to Speak.
Hon. Charles F. Crisp, ex-speak¬
er of the national house of repre¬
sentatives, will deliver an address
on the political issues of the day,
at the capitol, in Atlanta, to-mor
row (Wednesday) night.
Judge Crisp is one of the ablest
and best informed men on the poli¬
tics of this country in our state, and
we believe his speech to-morrow
ni^ht will outline the policy of the
democratic party in Georgia during
the next campaign.
He is an earnest advocate of the
free coinage of silver, and we trust
our goldbug friends will all go and
hear him.
An Enormous Cam)
V 1
The capacity of some of the great
ocean steamers is often doubted by
the general reader, as it seems ai
most impossible for them to carry
as much freight as they are said to
carry.
But here is a cargo of the Eng
lish steamer, i I Lord Ern,” which
was loaded at Brunswick, and
cleared for Eiverpool on Thursday,
October 31, 1895 :
Cotton, 14,026 bales.
Cotton seed, 180 tons.
Phosphate, 750 tons.
Lumber, 10,000 feet.
The total valuation of the cargo,
or “load,” was $594,142.
This is claimed to be the largest
cargo of cotton ever shipped upon
one vessel between Baltimore and
New Orleans.
Great Republican Landslide.
Thirteen states held elections
last Tuesday.
And they all went republican
except one.
It was a regular Waterloo!
In fact, it was a real landslide
into the republican lines.
And Kentucky went down in the
general smash up !
After the earthquake, then came
the republican groundswell.
The democratic party is slightly
disfigured, but it is still in the
ring, and w T ill be there in force
next year.
It has withstood many defeats,
and is able to stand many more.
Democrats must take warning
up their ranks for the great fight
next year.
Mr. Cleveland went a-fishing, on
Tuesday, the day of the election,
and Nero “fiddled ) » while Rome
went up in flames !
The Keely Motor.
A new sensation about the Keely
motor has just been published.
It is that John Jacob Astor, of
New York, has purchased all the
stock belonging to Mrs. Bloomfield
Moore, of that city, and has had it
transferred to himself.
Mrs. Moore has furnished a great
deal of money for completing the
Keely motor, and it would seem
like there was really something in
it ( or the great millionaire would
not have bought her stock.
Some scientific experts who
have examined the motor think it
is really an important discovery of
a new force in natural physics
that will soon take the place of
steam and electricity, as the cost
producing it will be nothing as
compared to them ; while others
think there is nothing in it.
The Star agrees with the lat
ter.
It has been too long in incuba
tion.
If there bad been any real merit
in it, we believe it would long
since have been developed and
perfected.
Still, the great millionaire may
have learned more ahnut
what has been published to the
world, and we hope he will soon
bring it out, if there is any good
in it.
In the meantime we advise the
public not to hold its breath in ex¬
pectancy until the Keely motor has
proven a great success.
Everybody is pleased with the
fine displays of everything at the
exposition.
Street-overseer Smith has been
making us some good sidewalks
the past week.
The Star regrets to learn of the
critical illness of Uncle Harry
Camp, at his home in Midway.
He is now in his 89th year, and
"has u been in feeble health for some
time. We hope he may soon be
restored to his usual health.

At peace with wife, at peace with man,
And in peace on earth I stand ;
No troubles in my path arise,
No back-band licks across my eyes.

My head is slick as a hard boiled egg,
My hair’s been pulled as well as my

But now she’s dead. Poor thing she’s

And I can sing the old, old song;
Peace be to the dust of thee, dear one,
While I look around for another one,

As I gaze upon your remains,
