Thanksgiving is the people’*
d*y; the day that «tands for
home and happiness; for grati¬
tude and benolence; for plenty
and peace.
A good deed done is not a thing
completed tnd finished; a good
thing done is nothing less than
an endless series of good things
•c-t in motion.
It is the circumstances and en¬
vironments of life that has much
to with downing many a young
man Who has started out in life
with the brightest prospects of
success, but who has too often
said, ’*1 don’t care.”
Don’t be *fr*id of tt Iittie fun
it home, good people, Don’t
shot up your house lest the sun
should fade your carpets, and
your hearts lest a laugh should
shake down a few of the musty
old eobwebf that ure hanging
there.
We allow little dtiikuities, of¬
ten imaginary ones, that would
vanish at the slightest show of
resistance, to deter us from doing
many things both great and
•mail, the memories of which
would bring us our sweetest joys
in after year*.
Mao; of us can unfold the
pages of memory and read again
the loving words of our sainted
mothers We see again the lov¬
ing look in her eyes. We almost
hear again the gentle accents of
her voice and we feel, through
the lapse of years, her influence
around us.
Don’t repress the bouyant spir¬
its of your children. Half an
honr of merriment within doors,
and merriment of a home blots
out the remembrance of many a
care and annoyance daring the
day, and the best safeguard that
they can take with them into
the world is the unseen influence
of a bright little home sanctum.
The sweet influence of flowers
are n source of much pleasure.
Home does not seem like home,
where there are no pure, sweet
flowers blooming: they cheer and
refresh us beyond measure. Mu¬
sic is no less important in malt¬
ing home happy; there should be
tome kind of a musical iw^tnnent
in every home, and if no instru¬
ment can be had, there can be
atnging.'.
THANKSGiVING.
We have man > thin « & tobc
j thankful for in our day
generation and in our beauti
ful and fruitful country. The
cry of “hard times” does not
sound s>o loudly as it did a
jyear ago. Men and women
‘are more cheerful The farm*
er has his reward in good
crops and fine prices. I he
merchant i. buying and sell
-«•*
whole business world is alert
hopeful energy.
As , mucll ,
a natlon we n«tve ^
to be thankful for. We have
religious liberty ; we have po
litical freedom; our poorer
classes live better, dress bet*
ter, and have more pleasures
than the poor of other nations;
we are not ravaged by war,
but peace make* possible in¬
dustry and plenty. \\ e have
a broad land rich in natural
resources that generation af
ter generation *, will discover
new riches and develop new
industries of which toaay
do not even dream. II we
have, of if we ihink we have,
but little to be thankful for as
individuals, it would still be
wise to cultivate a spirit of
thankfulness for its own sake.
The only absolutely forlorn
and irredeemable creature on
God’s earth is the thankless
man. He is the chronic grum¬
bler from whose presence we
wish to flee. He sees only
a frown and a kick and a
curse for the world, and what
he offers he gets in return.
As we go back to the old
home to spend Thanksgiving
Day with father and mother
and sister and brother, let us
have a thankful Thanksgiving
and a joyous dne.
FEDERAL ENCROACHMENT
The finding in the high
court of appeals in the case
of Sheriff Shipp, of Chatta¬
nooga, charged with contempt
of court in not preventing the
lynching of Ed Johnson, some
time ago —only goes a step
further in the centralization.
For years the meshes of the
Federal laws have been elos
ing around us, in a way that
sends conviction to a reason¬
ing mind, that before many
years, vve will be completely
overwhelmed, choked down
with Federal authorities.
Those who, in days gone
by, fought for state rights and
local self government; would
be .amazed if they could wake
fron^their long sleep and be¬
hold the spectacle with which
we are confronted today and
which, they so valiantly fought ;
against in their day and time.)
The late case of Stegalf, in
Judge Fite’s court, in Dade
county, is another reminder
of where ure drifting. Just;
another step or two and we j
completely . , swamped , in j
are
this great whirlpool of cen-;
tralization. ■
When it comes to pass that ;
t ^ e state cour t must yield i
every impulse and surrender
to the Federal courts that
which has belonged to t»H IT!
since the foundation of the
and , be forced - ,
government:
to take a back seat, it is indeed
alarming, to say the least of
it .-“Calhoun ^ ,, X-Ray, x- o

A Good Verdi Storv.
Here is a charming story alwut Ver¬
di: A farmer Siring In the depths of
tile country was very desirous to hear
one of the illustrious composer’s op¬
eras. So. better laie than nerer, be
took his ticket, traveled jff> to Milan
and. securing a good seat, heard
"Aida.” The farmer was very much
disappointed and wrote to Verdi to say
so. adding that he did not iike the
music at ail and that under these cir¬
cumstances he bo;*ed that Verdi would
see the reasonableness of at once re¬
turning him his money. There were
bis railway fare, bis ticket of admis¬
sion and his supper at Milan/for which
he inclosed the bill.
The grand oid maestro entered fuiiy
into the humor of the situation. He
wrote back a polite letter regretting
that his music had failed to please and
inclosing the railway fare and the
price of admission, but he added that
as the farmer would have to provide
bimseif with supper at home he could
not admit the Justice of that part of
bis cfninj and he absolutely declined
to pay for his supper at Milan.
Zeke Was Right.
A fanner employed a hoy to guard
his strawberry patch from birds. The
berries—fancy fruit as big as peaches
—kept disappearing, and the man nus
pected the boy of eating them. So
one morning he came down to the
patch. looked it over and then said:
*'I know you don't touch these berries,
my iad, but Zeke says you do. To¬
day J’ii test you—Just to convince
Zeke.” ♦■■
He took out a Iittie iump of chalk
and pretended to chalk the boy's lips.
but really it was only bis finger thal
he rubbed over thpm. "Now." he said,
"when 1 come down here this after
noon we'll see who's right about you.
Zeke or I."
And with pretended carelessness he
tossed the chalk on to the ground. On
bis return, some hours later, it was
plain who was right. The boy’s lips
were chalked with a white, stiff layer
half an inch thick.— Los Angeles Times.
Ancient Concrete.
That tb- Homan* wen* very familiar
with concrete and gave consideration
to its «5c exauiinalion of the concrete
work lu the foruui clearly shows
Their concrete contained generally
only iwo kinds of stone, travertine and
wide, in equal parts. Selcle is a bard
closely knit rock, very similar to our
Milestone or trap rock In color as well
as quality. Travertine is a volcanic
rock not so hard as setefe. considerably
lighter In color, and was dejsirabie on
account of its porosity, which insured
a gin id bond with the cement, In nil
the Roman work the combination of
the travertine and the selcie is clearly
distinguishable-Cement Age.
Ably Defined.
A certain archbishop when asked
whether it was a grievous iie for a
woman to misstate her age replied:
"A lie rna.v la* defined as a statement
made by one rational being to another
rational being with the intent lo de¬
ceive. Now. no rational being
would think of asking a woman her
age with the expectation of '.icing an¬
swered truthfully, one of the elements
of the lie is lacking, and the woman's
statement cannot, strictly speaking, be
defined as sneh."—Judge.
