Another carload of beef cattle ar rived this week to be fattened for the market. More feed has been grown in Bieckley county this year than has ever been grown before in : any one season and the farmers of this county have ample feed for hun dreds of cows yet, it is said. In addition to giving the cows what is left in the corn and cotton field after these crops are gathered, the farmers this year have the great- < est crops of velvet beans they have 1 ever grown. This is said to be one; of the best crops for the fattening ofh beef cattle as the beans hung sus-i pended from the corn stalks until 1 the cattle are ready to gather them 1 thereby saving the farmer the ex-< pense of gathering them. —Cochran 1 Journai. 3.

Washington's Thanks I do recommend and assign Thurs day, the twenty-sixth day of Novem ber next (1789), to be devoted by the people of these states to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the Beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His providence in the course and conclusion of the late war; for the great degree of tran quillity, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed ; for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enabled to establish con stitutions of government for ov, safety and happiness, and particular ly the national one now lately insti tuted; for the civil and religious lib erty with which we are blessed. — George Washington. Thanksgiving gm +JL Good Fellowship in Thanks of Pilgrims The fact that this holiday, a most cheerful American festival, is an in heritance from the Pilgrim fathers may account for the misgivings in some ci-sciences that it is celebrated in too secular a vein, the emotion of gratitude finding innumerable outlets beside devotional services in the churches. It is doubtful that Governor Brad ford would share that feeling. He re joiced that his people "had all things in good plenty," and the day of thanks that lie appointed was given over to feasting on the fruits of tlw season and the trophies of the hunt and to such good fellowship as the means of the Colonists afforded. There was a semblance of sport In the festivity. Edward Winslow wrote to a friend In ^England that "among oth er recreations we exercised our arms, many of the Indians coming among us, and among th? rest Massasolt, their greatest king, with some ninety men, whom we entertained and feast ed three days." Psalm of Thanks And the Lord shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of th, ground, in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers to give thee. The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand; and thou shall lend unto many nations, and thou shall not borrow. And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shaft be above only, and thou shall not be beneath; U that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them —Deuteronomy 28: 11-13. The Cheerful Heart God delights in noticing more than in a cheerful heart, careful to per form him service. What parent Is It that rejolceth not to see his child pleasant, in the limits pf a filial duty? —Owen Felltbam, in Resolves^ The Bible The English Bible—a book which, If everything else in our language should perish, would alone suffice to shew the whole extent of its beauty and power. —T. B. Macaulay. a /...SUCCESSFUL HOMEMAKING n ßy GRACE VIALL GRAY DOUGHNUTS Doughnuts can be quickly and easily made at home. So easy is it to make doughnuts today that the doughnut jar should never be amply. By using self-rising flour for mak ing the doughnuts we can save consid erable time in the mixing process and our doughnuts are always the same. The leavening or baking powder, and the seasoning and the salt have been combined in the proper proportions and have been mechanically mixed. A good inexpensive recipe for dough nuts requiring only 1 egg is this: Doughnuts. 1 egg % cup sugar % cup milk 3 cups self-rising % tsp. nutmeg — flour 1 tsp. vanilla Beat (lie egg with the sugar; add the milk, flour, nutmeg and vanilla. The dough should be as soft as can be handled. Holl % inch thick; cut with a doughnut cutter, and fry to a delicate brown in deep fat. The fr. should be hot enough to brown a cube of bread in 1 minute. Drain on un glazed paper, and dust with confer (loner's sugar. EXPECTED THE WORST Jones—"l'm doggone tired of eat fog at home." Brown—" How come?" Jones—" Well, when it comes to cook ing there I can always expect the worst." No Extra Boarder Wanted "Stay single, son. Dad did exhort, "One wife is all I can repport." Mabel's Friend —Although Mabel may not please you I think she's try ing. He (grimly)—Yes, trying indeed. Effeminate "I will not use tobacco," Said little Robert Reed, "Aly mother and my,sisters now Monopolize the weed."

"No, sah, Ah 'spects to' keep right on makin' mail own livin' till AU C1&" Church Thanksgivings Well Into the Eighteenth century the day was marked by two church serv ices, the reading of sermons at the family hearth, and family prayer. Be fore Revolutionary days it was more or less of a fast day. Recognition of the civil proclama tion of a day of prayer and thanks giving by the Protestant Episcopal church came in 1780, the year of Pres ident Washington's first national proclamation. Roman Catholic recog nition of the day by special religious features was given in 1888, when a Mass of Thanksgiving was author ized. Improved Uniform International ' Lesson' (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D.D., Dean Moodv Bible Institute of Chicago.) (©, 1929. Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for November 10 WORLD PEACE THROUGH MU TUAL UNDERSTANDING LESSON -TEXT—Isa. 2:2-4; 11:6-10; 19:23-25; Acts 17:22-28; John 4:20, 21. GOLDEN TEXT—They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, tor the earth shall be full of the knowl edge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. PRIMARY TOPlC—Friends the World Around. JUNIOR TOPlC—Friends the World Around. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP lC—Working for World Peace. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Our Share in Promoting Interna tional Understanding. The lesson title is somewhat mis leading. It is not world peace through mutual understanding, but through the actual coming of Jesus Christ, the Messiah, and the establishment of His kingdom on the earth. I. Messiah's Kingdom Established (Isa. 2:2-4). By "mountain" in the Scriptures is meant a kingdom (Dan. 2:35, Rev. 13:1, 17:9-11). 1. Its position (v. 2). It shall be in a place of supremacy. The kingdoms of the world shall then become the kingdom of Christ (Rev. 11:15). 2. The restored kingdom the teach er of the gentiles (v. 3). God called Israel and made her the priestly nation in order that she might make known His name among other nations. Now, after many centuries of apostasy and rebellion, the chosen nation comes into its own. God's fa vor will be so outstanding as to gain the attention of the whole world. 3. The Divine Judge (v. 4). The problems of the world which are §6 beyond man's capacity to solve will be adjudicated by the One who is all wise, and lie shall then rebuke many people. Because of this rebuke, they shall convert their implements of war into implements of husbandry, and shall learn war po more. 11. Description of His Reign (Isa. 11 :6-10). Universal peace between men and animals will prevail. In this picture each animal is coupled with that one upon which it naturally preys. 1. The wolf shall dwell with the lamb. 2. The leopard shall lie down jvlth the kid. 3. The calf, the young lion and the failing shall lie down together. 4. A little child shall lead them. 5. The cotv and bear shall feed to gether. G. The lion shall eat straw like the ox. 7. The sucking child shall play upon the hole of the asp. 8. The weaned child shall put its hand upon the den of the cockatrice. The coming of Christ will have a re generating effect upon the whole crea tion. The only peace for the earth will be when Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, shall reign. 111. Peace Among the Nations by Means of the Knowledge of God (Acts 17 :22-28). The way to bring peace among the nations is to make God known. Paul began his discourse on Mars' hill by referring to one of their inscriptions, "To the unknown God," and declared that it was his purpose to make known this God unto them. By using this as his point of contact he made declara tions about God and man which if recognized will tend to the unity of the nations. 1. Declaration concerning God (vv. 24, 25). (1) The Creator of the universe. (2) Lord o( heaven and earth. Being essentially spirit, He demands heart worship, and being Creator lie cannot be confined to an earthly temple. (3) His active providence. lie de clared that in Him we live and move and have our being. 2. Declaration concerning man (vv. 20 31). (1) We are the offspring of God (v. 28). (2) Nations have their place by God's purpose. (3) Men should seek God. The truth thus declared concerning God and man, if received, will remove national and racial bar riers. _ IV. The Basis of National Union (John 4:20, 21). The coming union of nations will not be in forms or symbols, but in spirit. The union of the race must be around Jesus Christ Being united to Him as head, men are brought into fellowship with God. The Christian church is the supreme unifier of nations (Eph. 4:3-6). If we would hasten world peace, let us with diligence and en thusiasm endeavor to induce men to give allegiance to Jesus Christ. Bounty on Herons The herons of Germany have been always regarded as one of the pictur esque features of that country, but the fisheries interests have been instru mental in having a bounty placed upon the birds, as it is claimed that they draw unduly upon the fish supply. But there are arguments to be made In favor of the heron's presence, and the pros and cons are having quite a time.
