Tllli THANKSGIVING SPIRIT
Yesterday wav thanksgiving. Asso
ciated with the day there are countless
stories, many of them pathetic, hut all
of them with more that ordinary inter
est. Thanksgiving day originated up in
New England as the sriniversarv of the
landing of the l’ilgiinm and binco that
time down to tlie present the observ
ance oft ho dav has never ceased and
now it in always the subject of a nation
al proclamation-
Tliis years when peace and plenty
prevails there is great reason for folk
to te thank ful and mx> ho they are in
various ways, hut to the casual observ
er it seems as if it. is not noticeable this
year. Rut that does not make a dif
ference. Times arc changing no people
nre livlrff every day the same life tlioy
live one day in n your. The spirit of
thankfulness is so clearly predominant
until it is found about us every dav.
And this brings out the old, old story
of why we -.ever priso the violets till
the tiny gems arc gone, whv wo never
mins the water till the wall runs dry,
why we never prize the sunshine ur.K as
it is after the storm, why we nevir
know the value of the sh iwcr unless it
comes after dusty weather.

You mny not ho interested in it, but
front the standpoint of the common
brotherhood of mun and realizing that
tho little things are the ones that count
in life, yo 1 will probably read this little
item. To you it is written in tho kind-
liest spitit and you will regard it in this
light. Sunni folk have been reading
The News for a year or mure and have-
not conttih it i to its support. You mny
not the one, but. there hundreds who
have bo-t: doing it year after year.
You will not be o’fended wo know in
case you are one who has not paid sub
scription during the last year or two,
for it is a whole lot of trouble to bother
along with these little dollar affairs,
hut then think that wo have a thous
and men o lio think the same way, some
of them owing a couple of dollars and
that makes a good deal more than a
thousand dollars. Now, in all fairness,
dear reader, let us ask you to give us a
u little aid hot ween now an I Christmas
and we cun fix to innkj you a better
paper. We are fixing to do it anyhow,
we are doing it day bv day, hut wo want
to do it better and faster, so let us hear
from you quick, please.
U.u Lursc ul WLal They Scy.
j From the Milwaukee Journal.
I Inn mass of mail there were three
| letters which struck the same note.
I One from a young Woman says in
i (.art:
" I am 23 years old. I want to know
| how I can pet a common school educa
tion. 1 would do anything in the world
I to secure it. When 1 was small my
parents were to 1 poor to send me to
school. Now we are comfortably fixed,
but everybody v.ill know it if I take up
simple studies and they will talk about
it.”
The second letter says:
”1 am in love with a girl and she
says she loves me. But some of the
boys say she is not what she should be.
If I marry her 1 know they will talk
about me. If I don’t my heart will be
broken. What cun 1 do?”
Tho last Rays:
"Black is very unbecoming to me.
Besides I have bought my winter
clothes and cannot afford to buy a new
outfit. Yet the wife of my husband’s
brother in dead and they seem to think
I chould go into mourning. What can
I d»?”
And by this time you are saying that
these three people are utter, absolute,
abject, doddoiing, gibbering fools.
Aren’t you?
Tne girl would "do anything” to get
art education. Anything except to
brave what they say.
The lover would die for his sweet
heart. hut runs from the breath of
i Jle, malicious gossip—from the tattle
of what they say.
The last w mvm will probably make
herself’hideojs i t a somber dress of
mummery for fear of what they say.
You woulln’t, would you?
During the next twenty-four hours
just keep tab on the things you do and
don’t do, the things you say and don’t
say, for no other reason than that you
are trying to do as you think they
would do or sav.
An I what ii this “they” before
which we are all cowards, and to which
we sacrifice our real selves, < ur im
pulses, our ambitions an I our lives?
Why, it. is only that part of all of us
that does nit understand, nor sympa"
thi.se with, nor have faith in. nor credit
docent motives to each of us.
Nine times out of ton, when wa turn
coward before what "they sav," it is
only tho bettor self in each of us, in
dividually, surrendering to tho worse
self of all of us, collectively,
Why?
Because when we were children we
began to hear such things as this:
"What will people think af a little
bay who does that?"
“Aren’t you ashamed to havo people
see such a dirty dress on a little girl
like you?”
An I s 1 forth. Until they became our
standard and our god.
TUT. MAGICAL SLIUTH mi
In all the wonders of nature there is
nothing :•!: . to the sooth wind, l.et
it come in soring or summer, autumn
or winter, an I its transforms creation.
Mon lav r ght aft* r litis section had
revc od in tins! and drouth for months
the (1 n: i 1 breeze finned tho almost
leafless trees ami then 1! seemed that
life came back, the atmosphere wa*
full of softness, the days of dustiness
were over and within two or throe hours
the rain—gentle us a spring shower—
came arid the long dry spell was broken.
The world needs the south wind.
The stories have been told ever since
the days of Solomon, when he wrote
his proverbs, that the north wind is
detrimental to ever\ th ng and it na
turally follows that since that time
folk have been looking upon the South
wind with a sort of appreciation.
That’s the way it is in life r.nd you can
find thousands of people watching ami
waiting for the magical breeze. It
would be great if we could get it in
life as we'l as In nature and then the
triuisfonual.ou would bv complete. j
If any skeptical folk exist and they
!oubt about Georgia being dry now,
'et ’em come this way.
The drouth—tho dry drouth, as 01 r
old time darkioa used to say — has been
hard on the Georgia farmers this full
ami but little grain bus been planted.
SIMPLE.
They had been making hay while the
sun ahono, and when they had finished a
high haystack the farmer’s boy shouted
from tho top, “Sav, mister, how atnl
going to get down?”
Tito farmer considered the problem,
anu finally solved it:
“Oh. jest shot yer eves an’ walk
round a bit!”—Everybody’a Magazine.
Why Kittens Were Not
Named Cook And l'eary
Washington, 1). l\ — A distinguished
member of the National Geographic
society is responsible for this latest
addition to tho literature of tho Polar
controversy:
”1 was passing some little colored
boys on my way down town a day or so
ago and noticed that they wore playing
with two very pretty kittens. 1 asked
th ■ leader tho party if he had named
th > kittens,
“Oh, yes,’ was his reply , ’l calls ’em
Tawm and Jerry,’
“Why not call them Cook and l’eary?’
1 ask od.
” ‘Deed, boss.’ was the quick rejoin
der. ’Dese vere aint Polecats.’ ”
Tho soul of all regeneration is the re
generation of tho soul. — Bushnell.

Ready for service, small or great,
Ready to dc His will
— Phillips Brooks.

The Christmas Star.
Under the stars, one holy night
A little babe was born;
Over his head a star shone bright,
And glistened till the morn.
And wis* men came from far away,
And shepherds wandered where he lay
Upon hts lowly bed ol hay,
Under the stars one mght.
Under the stars, one blessed night,
T he Christ-child came to earth,
And through the darkness broke the light
Of morning at hts birth.
And sweet hosannas tilled the air,
And guardian angels watched him where
The Virgin Mother knelt in prayer,
Under the stars one night.
Under the stars, this happy night',
We wait for Him once more,
And seem to see the wondrous sight,
T’lte shepherds saw of yore^
A, baby born in Bethlehem,
Come to us as you came to them,
And crown us witli love’s diadefL
Under fhe stars to night. *
—By Anna S. Driscol.
LATEST FROM WASHINGTON.
Wo nro now told by the bureau of
anltnnl Industry that while diarrhea In
chicks Is caused by germs on the
•bells of eggs laid by bens that have
these germs In their intestines.
And we nre directed to wash these
germs off before hntchlng with alco
hol 05 degrees strong, a 5 per cent
carbolic aelil solution or creolln, 10
per cent. Not long ago our philoso
phers found the turkey blackhead
germs lit a barnyard Biddy, and now
they’ve gone hnck and finished their
Investigation and found the white
diarrhea microbe. Bui. gentlemen of
Die Jury, how did (hose germs get
there, and what deeply laid shell game
were they concocting, and are you
sure you haven't missed more menag
eries of murderous microbes?
But, good old Biddy, what do you
think of It? "Cluck, cluck, cluck I I'm
not guilty, and I'm not feeling ticklish
Inside either, and I want these Wash
ington goose hone prophets to under
stand that I have raised hundreds of
healthy chicks, and not under tho In
fluence of alcohol either.”
But In these local option days Just
Imagine the big poultr.vinen who set
from 50,000 to 00,000 eggs a season
dipping them nil In warm alcohol.
Wouldn’t we like to see the stunt!
Every brokeu egg would turn Into
eggnog, cud every chicken mail would
get full of grog. No, slree. It’s not
the great American hen. It's the fel
low who has n defective lueubntor, n
defective brooder or a defective bead
that’s to blame.
"DON'T BELIEVE IT!”
“Yon don't?" "No! I don’t believe
any one would he foolish enough to
pay $7,500, the price of three uutomo
That’s what a whole lot said, hut
money talks. We have read the enr-
espondettee In the- deal and Mr. Kel-
’erstrass tells u» through the Bc-
loble that Mrae. Paderewski gave
him a $5,000 United 5Lite* gold cer
tlfieate, two United States $1,000 hills
id one $500 hill for n rooster and four
f hens.
f The former highest prices In the
i United States were $:!.400 for nineteen
rose comb Black Minorca* which were
isold to Henry Shultz von- Mehultzen-
'Rtcln of Berlin, ntt Orpington roc-k bird
for $7'“) and a White I’lymonth Itoek
cockerel for $800. It Is quire a com
pliment to American fanciers ttutt the
mr.damo should pass England, where
(he Orpington originated, ami bay her
birds In this country.
The highest price ever paid In Eng
land for a fowl was $1,000 for n Brown
He 1.
The names of the $7,500 birds are
| Crystal King. Jr.. Lady Helen, Olga.
I Cristina and Victoria.
I Those names seem quite appropriate
to the other side. While Mr. Paderew
ski dotes on pigs and purchases bis
hogs from John Bull, tho madam* is
a great poultry enthusiast.
Immediately on their arrival at
Lausanne, Switzerland, she entered
them at a poultry show and won all
the prizes.
She has made the world rubber at
the price she paid, and her American
birds will make tho old world eocfcn-
doodlca sit up and take notice when
they sweep up the nvlzes.

KURIOS FROM KORRE3PONDENTS
Q.—Please Inform me how you keep j
your chickens from crowding Into one !
j hover or colony bouse? Mine will leave i
! their houses and crowd into one.
I A.—You must paint your brooders
anil colony houses different colors, an ,
I chicks distinguish them and will con- j
j gregate In one house If you do not j
I unless the houses are far apart. We ;
! watch our birds at bedtime and close ;
j the houses when full enough.
Q.—Will you please tell tne how to,
j tame my pigeons? When persons go i
I in they fly every way. nud several have i
been Injured.
A.—Coax your birds with a little j
Kaffir corn and do uot allow any strati- |
g-.-rs In the pens. It means accidents !
and cold eggs. At feeding time let I
your birds alone for an hour and al-1
ways move quietly when with them.
<>.— Do yon raise guineas, and are
they a paying proposition?
A.—We are In the borough and do
not raise them, as they are great
tilers and make so much racket. We

I hotels for game, and there are firms
j ndverttsfug for them In 1.000 lots.
Q.~ 1 have a prize winning hen nn l

two Inches long. How old are they?
A.—Your roosters ore likely over two
yea re old.
Q,—Do- you thluk bees a good side
issue with poultry? Will chickens eat
them?
A.—Bees are money makers for pottl-
trymerx Chickens do not eat them,
but ducklings do. Then they sting the
duckling's throat. It swells shut, anil

Are You Going to be In Ihe
Automobile Business.
It e«*t last year. S125.00 to be in the
automobile business in this city.
I paid that amount I don’t think
anyone else did.
If you- get a car at agents prices, with
the understanding that you will talk for
that car, and try and secure sales for it,
it seems to me you are an agent.
Now, if it satisfies the city and county
officials for ail of us to simply pav a
shop license of $15.00 and work for the
sale of cars that are to be delivered from
Macon, Atlanta, or the factory, it will
suitme, but I don’t wish to tiy and
compete with men who pay no license
and vet. do jus. about the same thing
that I pay $125.00 for the privilege of
doing.
Make up yovr mind on this point,
and let’s get on a fair footing.
