Make It a Day of
of Thanksgiving—
Tomorrow we set aside as the
one day in the year to take an
inventory of self, to forget the
misfortunes which may come our
way and recall the blessings — 1
and there are many for which we
should be thanful.
Business may not have been
what we expected, but there are
others who enjoyed less; health
may have suffered during the;
year, but on every street corner, ;
in the lanes and on the highways
may be seen others in far worse
/ ondition. Crops may not have!
z teen as bountiful as we desired, j
tut as compared with the ma
ority, ours was a bumper harvest. '
J rices probably were unsatisfac-I
tory for our farm commodities, ■
but recall the years when lower- 1
Then be thankful.

Events have moved rapidly
during the past ten years.
A tremendous war has been
fought. National boundaries
have-changed. Man has crossed
the ocean by air, has sent his
voice around the world, has
sent his tireless, inquisitive mind |
into all the riddles of the universe
in search of knowledge that will
enable him to live more happily
end more fully.
There are seven signs that the
great war itself has borne some
sort of fruit after all that is not
w holly bitter —that it has brought
us to the realization and determi
n ition that such a calamity must
not happen again. I
And science has gone oqward,
t di awing steadily nearer to the
c.imination of disease and toil,
t ■ the unlocknig of the doors that
1 :p four-fifths of mankind im
-1 isoned in the reals of soul-dead
tsing labor and poverty. Let's
be deeply thankful. |
Humanity stands at the dawn
i-g. An epoch in human affairs
$o different from everything that
b s gone before that it staggers
t’ e imagination seems about to
open before us. How will we
a et it? i
Will we be ready for it—for
versa! peace, for freedom from
1, for universal prosperity, uni
’•sal leisure? I
Or is the spirit of man to be
uie only thing that does not prog-
I ss?
It is up to us to make ready,
individually. To become more
tolerant, more kindly, more alert;
to learn that life is not solely a
r.after of meals and houses and
automobiles and theaters, that
happiness cannot be expressed in
d ollars, that the well-being of one
portion of the race must not rest
tn the misery of another. i
That is our task. Let us apply
ourselves to it.
There have been Thanksgiving
Days that were gloomy and dark,
few still live who, back in the
sixties, longed for home aTrd
loved ones, wondered if that
longing would be granted. But
; few years later, our beloved
State was overrun with Carpet
baggers, and the reigns of govern
ment rested in black hands that
were ignorant and a few who
were vicious. As time marched
on we came to the day when our
boys “over there" were upper
most in our minds and we raised
our voices to Heaven that they
be spared to return to home and
mother and fireside, and we are
thankful that so far that they
HAD been spared.
Today all of that is past, and
we as a State, a County and a
City face the brightest future we
have ever known. Our South,
our Georgia again is coming into
own- A great Nation has sud
denly discovered a Promised
Land and they are wending their
wav Southward. The march of
emigration has, almost overnight,
turned from East to West and to-

lITHANKSGB'ING Day

Thanksgiving Day is coming, ready
or not. Falls this year on the last
Thursday in the week. Only Thanks
giving Day we will have during 1925,
believe it or not.
Such phenomena deserve more
t in a passing thought. Life’s a one
-y street. Old Dad Time is the
day we witness untold thousands
as they trek Southward.
Why shouidn' t we be thankful ? i
Why shouidn t the morrow be

We’re Investing
$14,000,000 a Day—
During the first half of 1925, j
the amount of new securities pur
chased by investors in this coun
try exceeded $3,175,000,000.!
surpassing the investment of the
corresponding period of 1924 by
1 more than $300,000,000. Os this ,
total over $500,000,000 went in-,
ito stocks of corporations. In oth- ,
er words, in the first six months
of 1925 the American people in
vested more than five times as
much in bonds as in stocks. | 1

j OTHER DAYS IN AMERICUS L
TEN YEARS AGO TODAY.
(From The Times Recorder , Nov.
25, 1915)
Mr and Mrs H. G. Bagley, of Atlan
ta, Mrs William Gunn of Macon Mr
John Gunn of Monticello, Mr and
Mrs Hugh Bagley of Oglethorpe
made a motoring trip to Americus
yesterday, spending the day here.
Mrs R. P. Frederick and Miss
Mary Niles of Marshalville are guests
of Mrs Hollis Fort on Lee Street.
Misses Vieve and Emmie Morgan
are spending the Thanksfiiving sea
son pleasantly in Thomasville with
their sister, Mrs Charles Smith. •
Mr and Mrs Tim Furlow, Mrs J. E.
Prather, Misses Genevieve and Hazel
Prather made up a party attending
the conference in Cordele yesterday.
Mr Norman C. Miller of Atlanta
came yesterday from Jacksonville to
join Mrs Miller and Mother Mrs H.
R. Johnson in a visit to Americus
where they so long resided.
Miss Jennie Harrison has guests
here Miss Myrtle Strange of Ella
ville, and Miss Doretha Strange of
Albany her fair guests for the week.
Miss Nannie Sue Bell is the fair
guest of Miss Lula Mathis at her
home near the city.
when it is gone? Or, perhaps, both?
Things you do in life are not so
important as things you don’t do.
So first you must plan what not
to do Thanksgiving. Later you may
decide upon what to do. And every
body will be happy, and it will be a
beautiful world with flowers in the
florists’ shops.
Don’t kick your wife in the ribs
as you crawl out of bed on Thanks
giving morning. Not that it would
break a rib, but she might fracture
her arm throwing a shoe at you.
Then she couldn’t cook.
Don’t disagraee with the cook on
Thanksgiving morning. If you do her
food is liable to disagree with you.
Nero sidled around while Rome
burned. What did he play? Why,
don’t be silly. He played a fiddle.
And if you make the cook mad on
Thanksgiving morning she may fid
dle around while dinner burns.
One time there was a man and he
went back into the kitchen where
the cook was cooking because cooks
almost always cook in a kitchen.
This cook didn’t get paid for cooking
in this kitchen. She was the man’s
wife. He said, “You can’t make bis
cuits like my mother used to make."
i She said, “You can’t make money
l like my father used to make.”
Dodn’t that bumfuzzle him though?
' It happened ane Thanksgiving. Hope
‘it did anyway.
Best way for a man to help his
I wife cook is to go into the front part
of the hfcuse and smoke a cirgar un
il she calls him.
While smoking his cigar he should
be very careful not to go to the door
and look for the Sunday paper.
LUHEtSf Th’ SA.M
Simply because he might be absent
minded and decide to wait for it.
When it arrives three days later he
will be worn out.
So remember, Thanksgiving may
seem like Sunday to you, but don't
hunt the Sunday paper.
It » beat to be alone about a
medium-size person on Thanksgiv
ing. Don’t be too fat. All the fat
people are reducing. They will yat
too much turkgy and stretch out on
their backs, but they will not be
comfortable. Even if their stomachs

j One Thanksgiving Day a man ate
[ a big dinner and got flat on his back
and first thing you know he was
I dreaming. He thought his wife took
his last dime and blew it in for a
loaf of bread when there wasn’t a
chew of tobacco in the house.
He broke out in a cold sweat and
screamed. Neighbors rushed in They
calmed him. He learned his wife had
done no such thing. She had only
run away with the butcher. So there
is no use in trying to keep from
dreaming on Thanksgiving.
, Now, about the things you should
do; they, of course, are just opposite
to the things you shouldn’t do.
As you walk about or loaf around
during the day stop now and then as
well as here and there and think of
something for which you are thank
ful.
Right away you can be thankful

Perhaps there are five good, firm, 1
real solid reasons why men should !
be thankful this Thanksgiving. Per- .
haps there are 10. Who knows? May- i
be there are the same number for
women. Let’s see:
A man should be thankful because:
1. He can walk along the street and
it he hears somebody cussing about
.something he can figure maybe
something needs cussing about. He
doesn’t have to get insulted at what
somebody else thinks aboutsomething
else.
2. He can have a shiny nose and <
yet be happy.
3. He aoesn’t have to run to the
front window to see of the man ring
ing the bell across the street is a bill
collector or a sheriff. He knows from
personal experince that chances are
it is both.
4. He can blame his wife because
the dern kids kick up more racket
I than a tribe of Indians, and why
! doesn’t she quit crying and do some
! thing about it?

SHE IS PICTURE
OF HEALTH
‘ “I cannot give Tanlac too many
i thanks, for it brought back my
! health and strength after everything
else failed, and nearly all hope of
getting well had left me,’’ is the
grateful statement of Mrs. Sarah
Duckett.
“Stomach trouble and rheuma
tism had been gradually weakening
me down for 20 years. At times I
ached all over, could not walk with
out limping, and felt too weak to
get out of my chair. Sleep was al
most out of the question and I was
, nervous, discouraged and despond
ent.
“When I began taking Tanlac I
was down to 120 lbs. but I now
weigh 160 and haven’t an ailment
I in the world. This is what Tanlac
• did for me four years ago and since
i then I have never been without it
' in the house. I take a bottle now
and then and everyone says I am
the picture of health.”
