”Thanksgiving Day.
| President Roosevelt has appoint
‘ed November the 26th as a day of
‘thanksgiving and praise. Follow
(ing is his proclamatiop : .
| By %he president of the United
'States of America.—A Proclama
tion: ‘ ; ’,
~ The season is at hand whe#, ac
cording to the custom of our peo
ple, it falls upon the president to
| appoint aday of praise and thanks
giving to God.
, During the last year the Lord
‘has dealt bountifully with us,
giving us peace at home and a
broad and the chance for citizens
to work for their welfare unhinder
‘ed by war, famine or plague. It
‘behooves us not only to rejoice
‘with a solemn sense of responsi
‘bility,realizing that, under heaven,
it rests with us ourselves to show
that we are worthy to use aright
what has thus been entrusted ¥
our care. In no other place aiffl’
at no other time has the experi- |
| ment)(‘)'f government of the people,
by the people, for the people been
tried on so vast a scale as ‘here in’
our own country in the 6pening!
years ot the twentieth century. |
Failure would not otly be a dread- !
ful thing for us, but a dreadful
thing for all mankind, because it
‘would mean loss of hope’ for all
}who believe in' the 'power ‘and
righteousness of liberty. There- 1
fore, in thanking God for the mer
dies extended to us in the past, we;
beseech Him that He may not
‘withheld them in the future andl
that our hearts may be roused to
war steadfastly for good and a- |
gainst all the forces of evil, public‘
and private. We pray for strengthJ|
and light, so that in the coming
years we may, with clean lives, |
fearlessness and wisdom, do ourl
’
allotted work on the earth in such
manner as to show that we are not
altogether. unworthy of the bless
ings we have received: |
Now, therefore, 1, Theodore
Roosevelt, president of the United
States, do hereby designate as "
day of general thanksgiving
Thursday, the 26th day of the
coming November, and do recom
mend that throughout the land the
people cease from' their wonted |
occupations and in their several
homes and places of worship ren
der thanks unto Almighty God for
His manifold mercies. l
In witness whereof I have here- |
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be af
fixed.
Done at the city.6f Washington
this 31st day of October in the
year of our Lord, one thousand
nine hundred and three and of the
independence of the United States
the one hundred and twenty-eight.

John Hay, Secretary of State.
Good roads are necessary as
well as good schools, and good
schools in the rural districts can
not be had without good roads. If
the roads are bad the children will
not attend school regularly, and if
the roads are good the attendance
will be larger and more regular, —
Athens Banner.
A dispatch from Lakeland to
the Florida Times-Union says:
One of the most remarkable sights
ever witnessed here was seen Wed
nesday afternoon, by R. O. Cre
sap and H. |. Drane who were out
driving, and discovered a large
buzzard trying to fly away with a
small baby, It seems that the
baby had been left alone for a
while, and the buzzard had come
along and gotten its feet entangled
in the child’s clothing and could
not extricate itself. The buzzard
could fly about a foot from the:
ground, but still could not get a
way. The baby was, of course,
rescued, and proved to be unhurt,
but it was a narrow escape for the
little one.

Important Changes in Law.
With the opening of the hunt
ing season on November 1, gun
ners should inform themselves as
to the changes made at the recent
session of the- legislature in the
law of the state in regard to the
posting of lands. Sportsmen
must be careful not to huut on
posted lands without the consent
of the owners,
Under the law the county - corp
missioners ‘of each county must
furnish the clerk of the superior
court a register for the use ot those
who desire to post their’ land.
The land owner must first put up
two notices on his lands, calling
attention to the fact that hunting
and fishing is prohibited. *“He
then calls upon the clerk of tife
court and registers his land, giv
ing a full description of it. From
and after thapdate it will ‘be un
lawful for any person to:humt
with dogs, firearms or in' any
other way upon such land, inclos
ed or not inclosed. or to fish with
hook, net, seine, or in any way in
any stream, lake pond .or .lagocn
on such land,
The law provides that if such
notices as are posted become de
stroyed or defaced this shall not
be cause for defense. The law
also provides than‘when tax re
ceivers of the state begin' making
their rounds, they shall carry the
register with them, and shall reg
ister all persons who desire to post
their lands. Except when the tax
receivers are on their rounds with
the register it shall be kept in the
office of the clerk of the superior
court. For registering those who
desire to post their lands the clerk
or tax receiver, as the case may
be, is entitled to a fee of 25 cents
for each person registering. :
