f l "' THE DAY OF THANKSGIVING
‘ The people of Athens in common with those of the
whole United Stutes will observe this day as a day
of . Thanksgiving. It is meet and proper that men
should devote at least one day in the year to such
observance, for men are prone to forget the many
blessings they enjoy unless the fact is called to their
minds In some regular way as in the observance of
Thanksgiving Day.
;„It is true that in the year that has passed there
have come to many sorrows or misfortunes,, but the
general balance sheet in life has been on the side of
good and the side of blessing. Man cannot live with
out more or less sorrow or trial, and it is best for him
that he should undergo some kind, but in the main the
past year has been one of untold blessing to the peo
ple Of this city and the entire country-
For all the good that has come to our people, for all
the b)crsings that have been showered upon them in
the past year by a kind Providence, for the protection
against great calamities and overwhelming disaster,
the people have good reason to be thankful today.
,Tho people of Athens have special reason to return
thanks for on no city in the entire country has the
blessing of Providence been poured out more abun
dantly than upon this city. In Athens everything is
prosperous, tho people are contented and happy and
every line of business or life endeavor is in good
shape an.d doing well.
'' In the proper manner today, in church and by the
fireside the people should return their thanks for. the
blessings they have received in the past year,
THE WOMEN {IAVE ORGANIZED
One of the most encouraging signs of a democratic
victory is the organisation of the women of eleven
states who assembled in Atlanta last week for the
purpose of concentrating their forces on some candi
date who can wrest the government from tho hands
of the republicans. These good women are determin
ed to assert their rights and!powers in the. coming
presidential election whichj will count for something
and insure success for. the democratic party.
• . Tho convention had many delegates from Tennes
see. This state was lost by the democrats in the last
national election, but the women from that state as
sured the convention that there would never be dan
ger again of losing Tennessee. The women could not
vote at that time and on account of many complica
tions jn local politics and dissension In party ranks,
the republicans captured the state much to tire sur
prise pf both parties- However, that day has passed
so It’s claimed by the Women delegates nnd from now
on this state can be counted as strongly for democracy
an ein Georgia and Soufh Carolina.
■iSjVhi'e no candidate was endorsed for the' demo
cratic, nomination, it is believed that these ladies
have their e.ve on one nnd that long before the con
vention is called to meet for the purpose of nominat
ing a candidate for the presidency, tho women’s or
ganization in the pnrtv will come forward and put
their stamp of nnnroval on his candidacy. That done,
the nomination I* bound to come to him and his elec-
|tum is equally as certain.
A PERPLEXING QUESTION
Modification of the Volstead act is a perplexing
question which is facing the party leaders and plat-,
form incorporators of both the republican and demo
cratic parties. It a plank is inserted in either plat
form favoring a modification of the prohibition act, it
means that that party will lose the prohibition vote.
If on the other hand either party'fails to incorporate
such a plank it means that the anti-prohibition vote
would be against them. That is the condition which
is facing both parties today and one or the other, no
doubt, will face the music and incorporate in Its
platform a plank which will be in favor of the modifi
cation.
The measure as it now stands’is entirely too drastic
and makes violators of the law out of the law-abiding
clement of all communities. This .ill important ones-'
Hons looms up in every national election and now is
the time for its settlement. Both parties should make
their platforms clear on the subject, either for or
against—no riding the fence or side-stepping, but a
frank and honest outspoken statement ns to the exact
position the party will take on the question, should it
be successful- Then tho people of the nation would
know just what to expect and the voter could cast
• ballot intelligently and for issues and not men.

THE DAY OF
FILLFULLMENT
By Horton Braky
There isn’t any question
That overeating brings
A lot of indigestion
And other kindred things;
But though our rules of living
Are strict and sane enough,
Wc sit down on Thanksgiving
And wc stuff.
In brisk November weather
With diet rules ignored
The household gets together
About the groaning board.
And though the sky be murky
We care not for its gloom.
Wc have a portly turkey
To consume. ^
We*Te thankful for each blessing
That we have come across—
("Please help me to that dressing
Ar.d more cranberry sauce.”).
For all 'our Joys we’re grateful
Thanksgiving is the word
(“I’ll take another plateful
Of that bird. ’)
Our duty lies before us
Friends, husbands, children,
wives,
Come join in on the chorus
Of forkrf and spoons and knives.
Let happiness and mirth be
About the planet spread
And everyone on earth he
Overfed!
DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU?
A Llttla of Everything And Net Much «f Anything.

Jim Beasley, a large man, on his
back, walking a rope stretched
across Broad street. He married
while in Athens, Ella, the eldest
daughter of Dedrlck Beusse, who
bag many near relatives in our
