THANKSGIVING DAY A NATIONAL FESTIVAL A Day of Gratitude and Not A Riotous Feast or Celebration. Henry Ward Beecher express ed himself as beautifully on Thanksgiving as any man ever has. Said he: “Thanksgiving day is the one national festival which turns on home life. It is not a day of ec clesiastical saints. It is not a national anniversary. It is not a day celebrating a religious event. It is a day of nature. It is a day of thanksgiving for the year’s history. And it must pivot on the household. It is the one great festival of our Ameri can life that pivots on the house hold. A typical Thanksgiving dinner represents everything that has grown in all the sum mer, fit to make glad the heart of man. It is not a riotous feast. It is a table piled high among the group of rollicking young and old, with the treasures of the growing year, accepted with re joicings and interchange of many festivities as a token of grati tude to Almighty God. “Remember God’s bounty in the year. String the pearls of his favor. Hide the dark parts except so far as they are break ing out in light. Give this one day to thanks, to joy, to grati tude.” —Le Row’s “I’ieces for Every Occasion.” Nearly 102 Years bid. Robert Quarles, who lives near Belmont, was in Gainesville Sat urday. He is, perhaps, the old est man now living in Hall coun ty. He was born March 20, 1812, at Louisville, Ky., where he resided until the breaking out of the civil war, when he enlist ed as a private in the Sixteenth i Virginia regiment, in which he ■erved throughout the war. Mr. Quarles has been married three times and is the father of twenty children, most of whom are now dead. Mr. Quarles is now as vigorous as he was a good many years ago, his eyesight being about the only thing about him that is fail ing rapidly. He attributes his longevity to right-thinking and right-living, regularity of habits, etc. He says he never drank an> whiskey or used tobacco in any form during his life. He does not swear nor has he any of the bad habits so common to the lat ter-day generation. Mr. Quarles is an unrecon structed rebel. He says he would have been fighting yet if General Ix»e hadn’t told the boys to quit fighting and go home. Mr. Quarles is an interesting charac ter and bids fair to live beyond the one hundred and second year of his life. —Gainesville News. Russian Biplane Largest Ever Made. An aeroplane so large and powerful that the first accounts of its size and performance were disbelieved by the experts has been making a series of remark able fights in the vicinity of St. Petersburg. Russia, during the past summer. This enormous machine is a biplane of a peculiar type, and its upper plane is much longer than the lower. The up per plane has a span of SS 1-2 feet and a surface of 1. UK) square feet while the total weight of the aeroplane is 6,600 pounds. It is capable of carrying, besides its crew and ten passengers, enough , fuel for a flight of twenty hours, and an additional load of 1,760 pounds. Four 100-horse power motors which drive four pro pellers furnish the motive power, the motors being of the traction type, placed two on each side of the cabin and supported on the lower plane.—Popular Mechanics. Our Pickles are the best made and our Fruits are Fresh and Pure. Cash Grocery. ad A Baby On The Roof Os A Church. A baby asleep in a cradle on the roof of a church, both baby and cradle having been placed there without hands, seems more like an episode from a fairy-tale than a fact of history, but there is an old church in London of which that story is told. The church is the church of All Hallows, Barking, and this is the story. It happened that in the last month of the region of Charles I a certain ship-candler was foolish enough to busy him self over some barrels of gun powder with a lighted candle in his hand. He paid the price of his folly. A spark fell into the gunpowder, and the house was blown up. The man who did the mischief was unfortunately not the only one to perish. Fifty houses were wrecked and a numberof persons were killed. In one house among the fifty, a mother had put her baby into its cradle to sleep before the ex plosion occurred. What became of the mother no one ever knew; but what became of the baby was very widely known. The next morning, a young child in a cradle was found upon the leads of the church. Baby and cradle were both uninjured by the explosion that had lifted hot h to such a giddy height. It was never learned who the child was, but she was adopted by a gentleman of the parish, and grew to womanhood. She must surely all her life have had a peculiar interest in that church. Values Their Experience. In their devotion to duty, the democratic representatives in (’ungrcss have proven themselves faithful democrats and patriots. To displace any of these for an untried man would be unjust, and would in a measure decrease the strength of the party. The strength of a party, or any cause, is the combined strength of its units. Next year will not he an opportune time to withdraw any faithful and able Representative from Congress.—Perry Home Journal. An Agricultural Edison. “Who is that prosperous man ?” asked the summer boarder, paus ing on the steps of the store, as he pointed to a man in painfully new clothes, with a very heavy gold watch-chain suspended across a gorgeous waistcoat. “That man,” said the store lounger, looking round for an audience, for he was the village humorist, “is an inventive genius, and the richest man in all this county.” “Hum, he don’t look like an inventor to me,” said the city man. suspiciously. "I’d put him down as a farmer in his best clothes, ready to go on a visit somewhere. ” “Wa’al, he’s a farmer, too,” replied the country-man, with a wink at his audience two boys and the owner of the store. "You see. he couldn’t raise noth in’ but a mortgage on his farm, because it was on such high’n’ dry land. But he thought up a good plan to raise the best ’biters in all the county. He plants his ’filters, and then he sows onions among them.” "Well, what of it?” asked the boarder, impatiently. “The onions makes the ’filters’ eyes water, and thet irrigates ’em. Hev’ye got to gososoon?” Safest on Farm. If the boys who are eager to leave the farms and come to | town could know of the anxieties that confront the business men, they would realize that farm life is much more satisfactory than j town life. According to statis t •s. where there is one success ful merchant twenty go down in defeat. It is a rare thing to hear of a farmer who fails if he knows how to farm. Sandersviile Geor gian.
