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. w ipi.ThU is turkey day. T ’ The next improvement for. Athens should be the voting of bonds for the paving and widening of Broad street Cotton 35 cents; plenty of ’possum and potatoes; ’ persimmon beer, prosperity and happiness is our wish for ail on this Thanksgiving Day. We arc hoping that the legislature will adjourn before Christmas, but not without having passed some constructive tax legislation* * The rum running business seems to be flourishing. These gentries of the twelve mile limit seem to be giving the government much trouble in suppressing the traffic of the much-sought after spirits. However, ■the active manner in which the officers are display ing it will be only a matter of a time until tho last of .the runners will have been run down. - Ilna by a score of 28 to 0.

Capt. J. W. Barnett, genial, jovial and lovable man, h»H been confined to his room for the past several days with an attack of tonsilitis. His condi tion was reported improved last night. Hundreds of friends will delight over tho announcement. His absence from his office and from dally contact with numerous THIS WOMEN SHOULD KNOW admirers has been a source of much worry to them. • Bird hunters, football fans and those who are not other wise engaged migrated to the woods and to the towns and citic:> today for rest and recrea tion. The bird hunter ig the most enthusiastic “fiend” of them all. I was in a hardware store yester day for a- fow minutes, and the wrhole force from the proprletoi WEAK,RUNDOWN AND AiliNG up to the bookkeeper were busy .ants handing out boxes of shellsc It was not a question of what tho customer cume in for, he was im mediately asked if he wanted num ber eight or twelve oqd, nine times out of ten. tho clerk struck it right; ,tha customer was. look ing fdr hunting material to bo used as ammunition.

I have been sick noarly all my life and have taken medicines from doctors but; Hawick Jennings, formerly cor. oner of Clarke county and well known to the oldjpr citlsens of Athens, died at his home In Bruns< wick, Oa., last ’ Sunday. He came to Athens from Michigan as a pro fessional rope walker and carried 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 city. Halwlck was an ex-Fed cral soldier, we understand he left among his other property fourteen houses In Brunswick. His wife passed away several years ago. One of the Beussee girls married George Calvin, bhrther of Ho^i. Martin V. Calvin, so long connected with the agricultural department Geoogta. A farmer from Morgan county brought a wagon-load. of turkeyr and other produce to our curb mar ket. He says the poultry business saved many farmers in Morgan while on the brink of ruin by the boll weevil, and collapee' In prices, but they have again got toeJiola and will next year plant coton and peanuts. Those who used poison Inst summer made a fairly good crop of cotton. t A gentleman of Athens has Just reutrned from a trip to Cordelo and other towns in South Georgia. He says crops down thcro were a total failure and his father-in-law who owns a fine form near Cordele, with five plows only made a half bale of cotton and a ton of peanuta Many farmers are pulling up and going to Florida. The wet year pre vented them from growing cotton. Farmers In our eectlou had better tuko a warning and don’t go tdb strong on the staple next y*ar. Better reduce than Increase acreage.
