eggs are fresh may be that himBelf.
Turkey refused to limit Its army,

HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL. -
| It has always been our pleasure I
be able to truthfully claim for Thom-
asviiie the most generous and noblest
of people. It is needless to state that
many personal, as well as general ex
periences point the way unerringly to
the conclusion that nowhere are i>*
pie as line, as generous and as whole-
souled as they are right here in
ThomasvlUe.
This opinion is more than verified
in the spirit that is manifested
throughout the city in caring for the
poor at Christmas and in providing
clothing and food in such abundance
at this season of the year. It proves
that the hearts are right and that
throughout the personnel of our citi
zenship there grows and lives a spark
of the divine love that shone so
brightly many years ago in the Hills
of Nazareth, that led the Shepherds
to sing a Joy.ul anthem of peace and
irought from foreign lands wise men
■o seek that which would bring Joy
t refrain from expressing
■ sin:

in this glad season. To
those, who have felt the touch of sad
ness there is healing beyond earthly
comparison in the worldly life that
was lived two thousand years ago. To
those whose hearts arc heavy with
burdens of a material kind, there is
surcease in the consciousness of hav
ing done your duty. To those whose
skies arc unclouded and whose lives
are filled with a generous abundance
of love and friendship, the day can
be sanctified and their Joy empha
sized in a realization of all that this
day was intended to be.
Our wish Is that you may feel that
which you need most, that you may

Christmas is very happy time for
ou all, because you know you are
;o!ng to have a visit from Santa
Claus with all that he can bring you,
toys that you have longed for, fruits
,nd candy that you want, and a lot
of other things that old Santa knows
you will like.
There are a hundred little boys and
girls just about your age in or near
Thomasville that haven’t any hope
that Santa will visit them. They don't
toys and things because they
haven't enough to eat, and their lit
tle bodies are cold and their minds
t think of anything but that. Did
all know that these little children
b so near to you. and yet so far
9 ail the things ypu so love on
Christmas?
We think you did. for right near
i now Is a great big pile of Christ
as stockings, heaps and heaps of
them, all filled with the nicest things
that any little child could want. May
be you or your mother helped Santa
Claus fill those stockings because you
anted those little ones to have some
thing. too, to know that It was Christ-
Just think how glad the poor little
fellows are going to be when they see
?body. drive up to their door and
leave a stocking that Santa Claus
wanted them to have, how their little
are going to light up, how their
little bodies, cold and thinly clad, will
thrill when they know also that with
those stockings there will be a big
isket of good things to eat and some
arm clothes.
"Tien you are enjoying your Christ
as. remember those little ones, and
•el how good and how happy it Is
• have been one who gave that much
Joy. You can't ever know what they
when they get those stockings,
le happiness yon could ever have
rolled Into one minute would be about
what they will get.
And If any o( your have filled one
of them, you will get back a lot more
than you gave, for it waa the love of
God in you that gave It, love for the
poor and the needy, a feeling that you
will always be glad you have, for It
came from Heaven. And we are thank
ing you for them, and we hope that
all or the little ones that get them
will some day be like you all are. not
’’•ingry and cold and without
Claus, and will know that you thought
of them.
A LIFE OF SERVICE.
Samuel H. Humph Is dead. Tho
prosaic item in the newspaper con
veyed no special meaning to man/
people, who never knew Mr. Humph
or heard his name perhaps. Yet *.be
item was made intensely lnt>rnstln?
by a statement that he was the La
ther of the peach industry ln Georgia.
From an humble beginning, he made
the great peach Industry in middle
Georgia get tta start.
-Mr. Humph may be dead, but his
fursightedness and his ability con
spired to create a condition that will
exist long after he la gone aud will
bring in great profits to the people of
his section. Like all men who work,
he won. Hla Idea took, because he
tlemontlntej Its practicability and
put It Into practice with profit His
xample was taken up and followed
and from the Initial shipment of a
few crates of peaches he not only
propagated two of the world ramous
brands of Georgia peaches, but he
made the industry pay.
When he first started he was greet
ed with sneers and dlscouragemen.s.
But he did not falter, he was firm ln
his conviction and he had the cour
age and the ability to make it go. El-
berta peaches and Georgia Belles are
known throughout tho world. They
would never have been had not Mr.
Humph had a vision early in life of
the possibllltiea of this industry and
pnt forth intelligent efforts to carry
his vision into actuality. The Ceor-
Ela peach is intensely valuable to the
state. It is but a tribute to the worth
and he vision of one man, and his
passing takes away on* to whom th*
stats owss a debt of gratitude and ap
preciation.
The newspapers that are taxed more
than other publishers, tor mailing
privileges, are also expected to far*
nlsh all the advertlslag th* govern*
meat waats. Just to show there Is bo
hard feeling.
TODAY’S ISSUE MANIFESTATION
OF SPLENDID SPIRIT.
Thla Is a dlstlnjtlv* and unusual
edition of the Times-Enterprlse.
Heretofore there has been a very de
cided increase ln advertising during
the Christmas season and this year
wes no exception. But now that the
shopping Is over and everything is
practically bought that will be used
for the Christmas season, the mer
chants and manufacturers of Thom
asvllle are using a considerable
amount of space for the sole purpose
of trying to express their appreciation
and gratitude for their business dur
ing the year, and to wish every per*
n Thomasvllle a very happy and
Joyoua Christmas.
We are particularly proud of the
spirit, which these firms have dis
played and we feel that they are ac
tuated by the most worthy and com
mendable motives. They hare bid
for business while the season was
at its height, but now that it Is o
they ore using the same amount
sjtace, or more, for the sole purpose
of showing the people of this city that
they are appreciative and have good
wishes for the entire town and Its
people.
Read this issue and be assured that
there are many advertisements In the
Christmas Issue of the Tlmes-Enter-
prlse that carry a good wish for yi
for every single reader of the paper
from the people, who have helpe
make Thomasvllle what it ia today,
a splendid, fine and generous people.
BONEHEAD B0NNIE8.
My bonnle leaned over the gas tank.
The height of Its contents to see;
He lighted a match to assist him,
Oh, bring back my bonnle to me.
—Ohio Motorist.
My bonnie had purchased some home
brew.
And be Jiggled the bottle to sea
If the staff was as clear as it should
be.
Oh, bring back my bonnle to me.
—Jake Falstaff, ln Akron Times.
iMy bonnle he raced for the crossing,
Along with the three-thirty-three;
The two of them made it together,
Oh, bring back my bonnie to me.
—Houston Chronicle.
My bonnle he was the bold hunter,
He roamed o'er the hills and the lea
And he dragged his gun through the
old wire fence,
Oh, bring back my bonnie to me.
—Johhny Spencer, .Macon Telegraph.
:My bonnle had fireworks for Chrlst-
Cannon crackers as big as could be,
He held one too long in his digit,
Oh, bring back by bonnie to me.
BREVITY KILLED THE MULES
An instructor In short story writ
ing. drilling his class ln selection and
compression of details, illustrated his
lecture with this story:
Two farmers, who were noted for
their brevity of speech met one morn
ing on the village road. They both
drew rein:
’’Mornin’, Zeb.“
“Morning’. Hank.”
“What did you give yer hoss when
he was sick ”
“Turp’ntlne.”
“Tiirp’ntlne?”
“Yep.”
“Git-ap.”
•Glt-ap.”
That was all.
Next morning they met again.
“Mornin’, Zeb.”
“Mornin*, Hank.”
“What did yon say you gave yer
hoss when be was sick?”
’’Turp’ntlne.”
“Turp’ntlne V
“Tap.”
“Killed mine.”
“Mine, too.”
”OIt-ap.”
“Olt-sp.”
It Is stay enough to wish somebody
a Happy Christmas, and It Is e lot
nicer to make someone have It, as the
many have done who brought ia tho
stockings tor th* poor little children.
O God of Love, how sweet Thy
thoughts—
How strong Thy hope most be.
To see the Christmas Stockings here.
Each one a gift for Thee.
The Christmas bride would reeent
the suggestion ot a utilitarian article
as a present, and yet some day she
may evsa be glad to gst that
