The National Thanksgiving this
year takes place on Thursday, the
28th,, day of November.
***
The Girls Industrial School bill
has passed the senate. It appropriates
$35,000, and the old executive man¬
sion at Milledgeville, valued at $40,-
000. There is now a fair prospect
of the state doing something for the
higher education of the girls.
***
Few men have been more talked n-
bout in the newspapers the past few
weeks, than Governor Hill of New
York.He doubtless has learned by this
time that the man who reads en¬
cyclopedias, has a strong hold on the
affections of the American people.
****
The educational bill of Mr. Fricks
has passed the house. One clause
makes the preparation of questions
for the examination of teachers the
duty of local school boards. This
had better been the duty of County
school commissioners; but then, that
would make it necessary for the com*
missioners to be sufficiently educated
to prepare appropriate questions.
****
The connection of Mr. II a uni, the
new Commissioner of pensions, with
the liquor interests, docs not com¬
mend that gentleman to the warm
welcome of temperance people. Some
persons are so irreverent as to suggest?
that in his appointment, the Presi-
•dent had an eye on the influence of
the rum power, and a longing in his
heart for the* rum vote. Rum, Katim
and Republicanism, has a melancholy
sound these days.
****
The last act of the admission of
the two Dakota’s as States,was com¬
pleted November 2nd.: the President
that day signing the proclamation rc
quirod by law for their admission-
There is an article on prohibition in
the constitution of each Btate. Nor;h
and South Dakota entered the Union
at the same moment, the first in the
history of our government of twin
states.

Many farmers have been increas-
ing the number of ties on the bales
of cotton, and it is reported that in
some places the buyers deduct two
pounds for each tie in excess of six
to the bale, the number ordinarily
used.
Judge Z/emlerson, commissioner of
agriculturo wrote to Mr James Tobin,
of the Augusta cotton exchange, to
know if this is so.
In reply, Mr. Tobin says that in
Augusta, in all cases, cotton covered
with cotton bagging, and having an
extra number of ties, the weight of
the extra ties must be deducted.
Mr. Tobin thinks the putting on of
extra ties unwise. It simply compli¬
cates a question that is already
hard one to handle.

The elections on Tuesday resulted
in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and
Nebraska going republican; Now
York, New Jersey, Maryland, Vir-
ginia, Mississippi, Ohio and
democratic; with large democratic
gains in many precints. The result
is looked upon as a great victory to
the democrats, involving more than
ordinary significance,
THE CAUSES.
Iowa, that used to roll up republi¬
can majorities of 75,000 now, for the
first time iu 35 years* elects a demo-
era tie governor* Ohio, the “hot bed,”
of republicanism* chooses for gov-
ernor a democrat with a handsome
majority. Prohibition doubtless had
something to do with the result; pos¬
sibly the revolt of the Farmers Alii
a nee againt monopolies; perhaps
minor causes have had some influ¬
ence, but people are getting tired of
“bloody shirt shriekers the stirrers
up of strife and bitterness between
the- two »>rent sections of the country;
and they are alarmed at the govern¬
ment interference in state elections;
the threatened centralized power; the
encroachment on state’s rights, and
the subversion of the fundamental
principles of our government* The
loud voice of the majority of the
thinking peoplc'of great states, has
this week been uttered 1 the republi¬
can leaders, J. and especially the pres¬
ent administration in Washington,

THOSE CHILDREN.
Many years ago there lived in
Germany a man named • 4 roebel. . _ TT*
heart went out in love to children,
and he devoted his life to teaching
and devising the best methods of
'*
rearing and educating them, l
believed their education should com-
mencc at birth; ho invented method.
of instruction; composed cradle
songs, and taught mothers how they
could commence to develop the fac¬
ulties of the little babes, almost as
soon as their eyes were fairly opened.
When the children reached the age
of two years he would have them in
school, and taught by teachers thor*>
oughly trained in the system and
methods of instruction invented by
him. These schools he called Kin¬
dergartens, or childgardens; a name
expressing the idea that children,
like flowers in gardens, should re¬
ceive the most careful culture, their
physical beings should be developed
in symmetrical beauty and strength,
their intellectual and moral natures
unfolded and expanded to their high¬
est attainable perfections.
Froebel’s ideas were adopted by
educators. Kindergartens have
been established in cities and large
towns everywhere throughout the
Christian world, and the spirit of
Froebel is becoming universal.
it is not the purpose in this ar¬
ticle to explain the system of Froe¬
bel,hut to call attention, and empha¬
size the fundamental idea of his, viz.,
that children should constantly be in
the schools, under t he proper training
and instruction of competent teach-
ers; unless the flowers are well culti-
vated in the gardens, they become
sickly, stunted in growth, and weeds
spring up and choke them,
Fathers and Mothers of Toccoa,
and other towns; how many of your
children are not in the schools? How
many of them are in danger of being
like beautiful flowers, choked with
weeds, their intellects dwarfed by
Want of culture, and their moral na¬
tures endangered by evil influences
that surround them on every side?
Of course you love thorn: you
***“ «*«» «» be good boy. and gifb,
and grow up to be good men and
women; good citizens- esteemed and
honored by alhbe successful mbusiness*
and able to provide for those who
may be dependant on them for sup-
port,
To this end an education is ncces*
sary; and every child should be in
school for 10 months in the year dur-
ing school age: every day one is ab-
sent,is a loss which never can be re-
covered.
Possibly some parents may say. “I
had little or no education myself,
therefore my children can get along
With but little.”
It must be borne in mind that
times have changed since you* fath*
ers and mothers were boys and girls.
Then, good schools were few? how*,
they are many; then, educational ad¬
vantages were limited; now they are
abundant; the universal cry now
is education; children everywhere are
bein g trained in the schools. Pa*
rent ^ if > ou g ive y° ur children only
the education you obtained,you leave
them in a lower position relatively in
SoC ' et T than yon occupy Their compan
me n with whom they are
COTrt P e to in life sstruggles, have ad»
vantages su}>erior to those you enjoy*
ed, and you thus place your children
at a greater disadvantage than your
parents left you.
T^ ™nng generation of children
n ™st fight life's battles m att age of
immense activitiesdn an age of won-
derful progress inkttowledge,in science
in arts; old customs, and slow meths
ods of doing things are passing away
everything is being done by machin¬
ery, by steam, by lightning; men's
thoughts run in new channels; success
depends less on muscle power, and
more and more on brain force? those
who lack this brain power will be
left behind.
It is the province of the schools to
develop mental powers and awaken
latent energies, by means of which
the youth now’ approaching
manhood, will be able to hold
own amid the great activities
which they must needs compete.
Parents,keep your children in school,
so they will be qualified to cope with
the men and women with whom they
arc to associate and compete in life s
great struggles.

We are at home again. There is
no place like home. “Home Sweet
Home,” We have been off to the
fields busy gathering the crop. Since
the early frost cotton has been open-
ing slowly. Some fields are not over
half opened, A severe freeze would
cut off the late crop.
Corn is being gathered and the
yield is better than for many years
past. Parson Stor.ecypher gathered
28 bushels of a good corn from one
acre of upland, made without the use
of any manures.
Wheat sowing time is here and we
are not ready as crops are late.

The school at Broad river, however,
