Tile average, citizen felt though fba< the day would be a disagreeable one. Dark and murky clouds bung over the city,The air was chilly, an occasional moisture was felt and it seemed as it the day would be made still more gloomy by a cold, winter rain. But about noon the sun made a faint and feeble effort to peer beyond the A clouds. This was some encourage ment and a decided inspiration to those who hung around the street corn ers or leaned against the walls oi the business houses aud by 3 o’clock in the '^afternoon the sun gave forth enough warmth to cheer the entire people at d from then until night it was a glorious day. CHURCH SERVICES.. Sunday appearance of the city i was intensified In. the forenoon by the chimes of tbe church bells that pealed forth calling the citizens to the citidels . ot God to pay their devotions to Him '■* who had blessed them with the won derful bounty of His goodness and His grace. There were services at the Episcopal and Presbyterian churches . at II a. m, and before that hour large numbers of citizens could be seen wending their way to the house of God for devotional services. In the evening the union thanks giving service, in which the general public and all denominations partici pated, was held at the Methodist church. All the ministers of the city with the exception of Rev. W. W. “ Brimtn were present and the church wa9 filled with a large audience.

THE NIHRODS. riff At an early hour Thursday morning the sportsman could be seen with his dog and gen starting for the woods in quest of the feathery tribe. Numbers of Albany’s citizens spent their holiday in this manner. It was not a thanks giving day for the feathery tribe, but to many of them it Drought a holiday E/ —a long, long holiday. THE FEA<TS. ■ r The noon hour called the average inhabitant to his home, but numbers oi them were called to the home of friends, and the thanksgiving dinner monopolized tbe midday with Its bounty and its good cheer. Both hotels in the. city had special bills of fare arranged and the stranger or the traveler who was fortunate enough to be at either one on that day felt bis best nature appealed to and reached through his appetite for the good thiogs to be desired were be fore him.

NOTES. —The drng stores observed Sunday hours. —The postofflee waited on callers at the usual hours observed on Sunday. —The sportsmen from the country knowing that the people wanted something good to eat on such an oc casion invaded the city with quantities of birds killed on Wednesday while ah occasional ’possum was seen. There were birds to . give away. —Mr. W. H. Partridge strolled down to the city in tbe afternoon and alarmed a number of bis friends by saying that be was in misery. “What is the matter?” asked one ot his friends. Between bis groans he re plied “I eat too much dinner.” /What made *yoa do that?” ‘‘Wei a triend of mine killed hogs yesterday and after cleaning and soaking the chitterlings sent me a fine mess of them this morning. If there is any thing I do like it is chitterlings and when we sat down to dinner to-day I just simply ate them until I could hardly walk.” —The restaurants kept open all' day and demands were made upon them until late in tbe night. There were quite a number of strangers in tbe city and they sought these pistes for something to eat. * Atlanta Constitution. On Friday of Next Week.—Official Circulars of School .Commissioter Kradvvell, Containing the Law He- lalirrs to Arbor Day. Next Friday 13 “arbor day,” and is a holiday in all tbe public schools of tbe state. State School Commissioner Bradweli has issued a circular to the several school commissioners in the state con taining the law relative to “arbor day, and a few suggestions concerning the observance of it. The circular reads as follows:— To the County School Commissioners of Georgia: Your attention is direct ed to tbe following law:— “An act to encourage tree planting and to conserve the forests of the state, by setting apart the first Friday December as ‘arbor day,’ and for other purposes. “Section 1. Phe-gener:'.’ assembly o! the state ot Georgia do enact, That the first Friday in December iu eae! year shall be set apart and conseers as a day for tree planting, and shall be known throughout the state as ‘arbor day.’ “Sec. 2. Be it further enacted. That shall be the duty of the state shchool commissioner to take the matter or the of ‘arbor day’ by the public under his general supervision, and through tbe county school commissioners to cause the public schools of the state to ob serve ‘arbor day,’ as the superinten dents and terchers may think best in order to show the pupils the value and beauty of forestry by practical planting on school, church and other public lots and lawns, as well as on the public highways. “Sec 3. kepeals conflicting laws. “Approved Dacember 1G,1890.’ ? In obedience to requirements of the above law, I hereby declare Friday 4:h day of december next, legal holi day in tbe public schools throughout the state for the purposes named in the act, setting it apart as “arbor Bay.” I Instruct you to give due notice to the superintendents and teachers of tbe public schools in your county, in order that they may carry out the objects of the law as they “may think best. I send yon a number of programmes of “arbor day,’’ from which the teach ers may derive some appropriate sug gestions S. D. Bradweli., State School Commissioner. A programme of exercises for. arbor day has already been published <n The Constitution. All the public schools of the state will observe the day, and the children will be given a holiday. The schools of the cities will not, as a rule, close on that day. Major Slaton has stated that the schools of Atlanta will not close, and gave his reasons for de ciding upon this course. A large maj - ority of the schools of the state will close, however. 'A- Electric Sitters. This remedy is becoming so well known and'so popular as to need no special mention. Ail who have used Electric Bitters sing the same song of praise.—A purer medicine does not exist and it is guaranteed to do all that is claimed.

It was just after her birth day, and she had a game, one of her presents in her hand. “ ‘O, mama,’ she cried, full of eager ness, ‘this is one of the loveliest games; do try it with me!’ “Her request, in my baste and ab sorption, seemed trival to me. “‘Nonsense, Connie; you know I cannot,’ I replied, very suarply; ‘this is board day at the hospital, and I am shockingly late already.’ “1 was standing in front of the mir ror, and saw in the glass how her face fell and the light died out of it at my words. “ ‘I wish,’ she said wistfully, ‘you would sometimes have a day with me mama.* “The child’s speech went through me like a knife. I had never received so stinging a rebuke. Was it possible that in the pursuit of other duties I W>s neglecting the one that should be chief? My drive to the hospital that morning was full ot serious introspec tion. “Connie has had her day ever since. Saturdays my daughter and I spend together, and no other engagement can draw me away that day, for the child I003 kforward to it all the rest of the week.” Sappy Homier*. Wm. Timmons, Postmaster of Id ville, Ind., writes: “Electric Bitte has done more for me thhn all oth medicines combined, for that bad fee ing arising trom Kidney and Live trouble.” John Leslie, farmer and stockman, of same place, says: “Find Electric Biiter3 to be the best Kidney and Liver medicine, made me feel like a new man.” J. W: Gardner, hard ware merchant, same town, says: Electric Bitters is just the thing for a man who is all run down and don’t care whether he lives op dies; he found new strength, good appetite and felt just like like he bad a new lease ot life.

Florida Times-Union, After the elections of November 3, politicians of botn parties wiped their slates and began figuring anew on the more momentous election of 1892. As usual the columns of figures built up by the democrats do not suit tbe repub licans if unsatisfactory to the demo crats. In truth neither' party has cause to feel discouraged. Both par ties are extremely hopeful and will engage in next year’s contest with equal zeal. Each will count on carry ing a large number of the doubtful states which will be essential to th success of either party. As an ex ample cf democratic figuring it may he worth while to reproduce the fol lowing from the Courier-Journal, be cause as no states are omitted as bein^ doubtful it represents the entire elect oral vote of the United States.

We desire to say to our citizens, that for years we have been selling Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consump tion, Dr. King’s New Life Pills, Buck- len’s Arnica Salve and Electric Bitters, and never bandied remedies that sell as well, or that have given such uni versal satisfaction.

All the other are boldly assigned to one or the other, ‘and a handsome majority is left on the democratic side. Republican papers arrange the figures so as to leave a good majority on -their side. The Chicago Tribune, for example, assigns Iowa and Massachusetts to the republican column, and omits a3 doubtful, New York, Indiana, Montana aud MU hi- gan. The electoral votes of what it considers sure states foot up 201 repub lican and 175 democratic. The four states classed as doubtful represent 08 votes. A democrat would not concede more than 13 of these votes to the re publicans, and wonld therefore claim that the Tribune’s tables represent a democratic majority of sixteen. Striking out of the Courier-Journal’s lists all tbe states which are admitted to, be doubtful either by the republi cans or democrats there are found to be fifteen that are surely democratic, and the same number that are surely republican. Counting the votea of these states it. appears that there are 153 assured to the democrats atid 119 assured to the republicans. Therefore the democrats will need to secure 70 vote3, or the republicans 104, from the doubtful states in order to have a ma jority. But.it is to the advantage of the republicans that the doubtful states are in the North and West. Sanguine democrats believe, and apparently with good reason, that their party will secure a majority of tbe doubtful votes. Much depends on ihe work of the na tional conventions and of congress At present the democratic outlook i& extremely encouraging. The Tarnish Tree, years ago Professor Bela Some planted in the Frankfoit botanical garden some of the trees from which it is stated the Japanese obtain their lacquer or varnish. The tree is known to botanists as the Rhus vernix, and it appeals there are now thirty-four healthy trees, some thirty feet high. Professor Rein has taken sap from a few of the trees and sent it to Japan for trial by native artists. It is, however, almost useless for Europeans to at tempt to compete with the Japanese in their line, hut the lacquer, if it can be made from trees grown in Europe,may be used for other purposesjfthan jvar- nishing wood. • The Rhus coriaria, or varnish tree, grows in many parts of what may be termed tho Mediterranean district, and its juice is known for its deleterious or injurious properties, and has conse quently been let alone. The'.Japanese, however, seem to understand it, and it is certain they make a beautiful lao- quer or varnish from the juice of their trees; hut they keep the processes sec ret.—English Mechanic.
