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. AMDS THtSSUF. 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.

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. Ignorane*.

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 just like a few around to scare hawks. They are easily raised and bring good prices. They are passed off In tho city 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 would title to know If It will hurt her as art exhibition bird to hatch and rear chicks? A —If your hen Is determined to set, tt will Injure her more to break her than to* hatch chicks. Q.—I bought two White Leghorn cocks from a fancier who claims they are a year old. Their spurs nre nearly 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.

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. JAMES L. SIBLEY.
