THANKSGIVING * I (W. H. Faust, D. D.) Many centuric- ago tlic Sweet Ringer of Isreal asked this question, “What shall I render unto the Lord for all His benefits toward me!" That question is as pertinent to men ef this generation as it was to the men to whom it was propounded in the distant pavt. Gratitude and appreciation are two of the finest arts that men know about. Ingratitude is one of the deadly sins that like a gangrene eats away the very vitals of real life. Among the many things on the surface of our lives which call us to render thanks unto God can be men tioned— I—Self Life. By that is meant the life which each one lives known only unto hinmelf and God. One passes ulong the crowded thoroughfares of life and watches the faces of the innumerable passersby, and can npt tell the thoughts, plans, purposes, of these varied live . Often the smiling face hides the aching, sorrowful, pain ilricken heart. Many times the face that is set with fixendness of pur pose is but the expression of a loving •determination to plan and provide for the best interests of lovcJ ones. This self-life can be used with its re flex power to bless and sweeten the lives of others. One of our great preachers telb of an old fisher-wo man who one day" was making u meal of bread and a bit of fish. Indeed, it •did look like a simple meal, and when one of her friends asked why she seemed so grateful for the poor fare, she at once replied, "I am so grate ful because God has levied on land nd sea to supply this bit of bread nd fish for one of his unworthy nervants.” That inward appreciation has often given outward expression j to the world in the lives of some of] mir greatest leaders in the realm of thought and activity. 41—Po sseesiens. America is bless- j ed in a peculiar way this Thanks.giv- i ing time; in fact, blessed above all the other nations of the earth. Peace, 1 prosperity, plenty, is about us on cv- J cry hand. Take Georgia as an il lustration. Go north, south, east, : west, in this great commonwealth, '• and on every hand the eye is greeted 1 with unparallclled visions of pros perity. Apples and corn to the north. Cotton and hay in the cen tral section. Pecans and melons and tobacco in the iouth. Melons, peach es and hogs in the south central sec tion. Barns bursting forth with plenty, Bins crowded with the crops that can be described by only one word- BUMPER. AH these blessings simply mean that wo are under obligations to God to bestow somewhat of them upon ether- not o fortunate, and woe ba unto us if we do not render unto the Lord something for what He has done for as. Stop for n moment and ■ think. Who gives the most in pro portion to ability? The poor. Here is a man who started out in life with nothing but a strong character and a' thankful heart. In the days of his poverty he always found at least a dime to put in the collection basket at church, and ten dollars for the new church building, and five dollars for the church organ, and any amount necessary to help a fellow being in need. Years slip by, and a fortune comes. The church services are un attended. . The offering to God and His church is pitifully small, com paratively. The poor must look to the charity chest fund. The local ehurch folk are told to buy their own organs. Should not the strong help the weak? Should not the prosperous one render much unto the Lord for all the blessings conferred upon him? But the selfish man asks this ques tion, Will not the time soon come when we shall stop asking for so much? Certainly not. As the popu lation increases, the needs will con tinue to increase. Tomorrow will have more needs than today, because tomorrow will have more people, and the multiplication of population al ways means the multiplication of needs. Colleges are to be erected, endowed, and sustained. Hospitals are to be builded for the care of the sick an- helpless. Aslyums are to be erected for those who are un fortunate. Schools are to be built to care for the growing boys and grirls of the present generation. And •a folks multiply, the demands for these will grow more acute and press ing. All thcie institutions shall be supported by us in return for what God has done for us. Where would our money and our prosperity come from wore these institutions to be destroyed? Ill—Service. Money is the easiest Hung in the world to give. How • any of our great financiers poothe i their consciences by giving the'titho to the Lord. That is simply paying Him what is His. The gifts must fol low the tithe. Many a time the col lection basket is passed around, and a dime is cast in, when not enough interest is manifested in the heathen to warrant the giver in sending a prayer up to God in behalf of the lost winner in the uttermost parts of the earth. Watch the rich men of today. Do they attend the regular meetings of the church, midweek services, preach- ing services, Sunday school meetings, as they should, or do they feel that to contribute a bit of their money meets all the demands of the Lord upon them? Years ago the daily papers car ried the announcements that a cer tain wealthy woman gave a dinner, that cost forty thousand dollars, to her friends. At the same time the dinner was on, a policeman was ap proached by a woman, and asked for help for the babe in her arms. The officer looked at the pinched face of the poor babe, and saw that it was dead. The mother’s attention was directed to this fact, and she fainted. Think of it. Starvation on the outside of a building. Luxury on the inside. How close in life are wealth and poverty. One end of the street in the cosmopolitan city filled with the handsomest residences; the other with slum dwellings. What shall men render unto God for all the blessings bestowed upon them? In answer to the question, we should render our best unto God, who has rendered His best unto us. That, and that alone, will answer the question adequately. * BOLTON ACCADEMY • • *****•*** * Mr. and Mrs. John Watson spent Saturday with Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Landrum. Rev. P. M.

HOW THE PUBLIC RATES THE STARS Asa drawing card, where would the average movie-goer rank Colleen Moore in comparison with Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, Tom Mix, j Mary Pickford, Thomas Meighan, Mnrion Davies and the Talmadgc sis ters? Very near the bottom, proba bly. But the exhibitors of the United States, who ought to know, if any ' ane does, what the public likes, de clare that Colleen Moore, during the j past year, has drawn larger audiences to her pictures than has any other single star. Tom Mix comes second; Fred Thompson, of whom the aver age New Yorker has never even heard, is third; Harold Lloyd is fourth, and Hoot Gibson is fifth. These results were announced at the end of a month’s balloting by the exhibitors, and there is no reason to believe that their prejudices would influence their judgments. Their business is to attract people to the boxoffice, and it would be foolish for them to be anything but completely honest and frank with themselves. Norma Talmadge comes sixth in popular esteem, and behind her, in the order named, Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, Thomas Meighan, Reginald Denney, Milton Sills, Rich ard Dix, Lon Chaney, Buck Jones, Norma Shearer, Gloria Swanson, Wal lace Beery, Bebe Daniels, Corinne Griffith, Jack Holt, Constance Tal madge, Rin-Tin-Tin, Jackie Coogan, Marion Davies, Charles Chaplin and Barrymore and Ramon Novarro. Among the surprises are the low standing of Gloria Swanson, who was, last year, among the first five, and the high rating of Mary Pickford, who was thought to have lost a large proportion of her popular following. The popularity of the “western” heroes will astonish many city-dwell crs. In New York, Boston and Phila delphia, the names of Hoot Gibson, Fred Thompson and Buck Jones, “westerns ail,” are seen almost nev er. 4-H CLUB SONG Tune: “Battle Hymn of Republic!’ Mine eyes have seen the value of the club work in our state, We have worked through the -pring, now it is time to celebrate, The.other girls and boys were hanging on Oie garden gate, While we came here today. CHORUS Glory, Glory, Hallelujah Glory, Glory, Hallelujah Glory, Glory, Hallelujah Club work goes marching on. We are farmer lads and lassies, and vve know just how to toil, We are always up and doing, and make profit from the soil; We raise winning pigs and chick ens, and can fruit that will not spoil, | So we came here today. Chorus You may think to win in club work, is an easy thing to do, That the road that leads to victory is quite ear&y to pursue; But, believe me, it’s a tussle from the start till we get through; But we came here today. Chorus When we started in the club work, we went in to do or die, Now we’re here while all the others are lamenting with a sigh; And we’ll have some fun occasion ally or know the reason why; That’s why we came here today.

Childs, of Smarrs, has been losing chickens and eggs for some time, and with all his watching was unable to find the thief. In one of his nests, which usually yielded six or seven eggs daily he would find everything gone except the white door knob which was used as a nest egg. One day all the eggs were gone as well as the nest egg. Mr. Childs yes terday killed a snake in his yard with a large object in its center. Exam ining the snake, it was found that he had swallowed the knob which also included the connection of about one inch. When the snake's mouth seemed only large enough to hold a small plum, it seems impossible that it could swallow the knob. It has been nearly two months since the knob was missed. PREDICTS LONG WINTER If birds and animals know any thing about the weather, it’s going to be a long winter, predicts M. P. Skinner, field naturalist for Yellow stone Park. “Ground squirrels began to hib ernate ten days earlier than usual,” says Mr. Skinner. *‘W’od chucks went into seclusion two weeks be fore their ordinary winter bedtime, and red pine squirrels started to gather pine cones much sooner than customary. Such nests of hibernat ing animals as I have opened are a good deal deeper this fall, indicating they are digging to get away from the frost. “Birds from the North are com ing in greater numbers and consider ably in advance of the expected time.” Fresh Florida Oranges, Grape Fruit, Lettuce, Celery and Cocanuts.—Boggs Bros. & Da. and ism an, Phone 245.

For dizziness, costiveness and any little stomach disorder, we find it most satisfactory, and consider Black-Draught a family medicine.” Constipation, with an inactive liver, locks up poisons ’in the body and allows them to do their dangerous work.
