Thanksgiving Day.
Thursday, Nov. 27th, has been
designated by President Roosevelt
and Governor Terrell as the annual
Thanksgiving Day.
In the proclamation published last
Thursday morning Gov. Terrell says:
“On that day I earnestly request
that the people abstain from their
secular occupations and assemble in
their plaoes of worship, or about
their family altars, and unite in
thanks to Almighty God for His
multiplied blessings^ I especially
request that they temember by
words and acts the widow and the
orphan, the poor and afflicted, and
all those who may be unhappy from
any cause.”
As a whole, the people of the
United States, the people of Geor
gia, have touch for which to be
thankful, and specific expression of
thankfulness is certainly due Him
from whom all good comes.
Our privilege is-without limit, and
the opportunity boundless to enjoy
the bounteous gifts of nature, the
beneficence of good government
that hinders not good deeds and re
strains only the performance of evil.
From the munificent hand of on
all-powerful God oomes all that .iB
good and true. Is it too much that
we devote one day ont of 365 to
thanksgiving servioe to the Great
Giver, bo expressed that our deeds
may testify that our words are true?
"Middle Counties Fair.”
From Jones county and through
the Maoon Telegraph comes the
proposition to organize among the
farmers of middle^ Georgia counties
a fair association for the purpose of
holding an annual “Middle Counties
Fair.”
All the counties contiguous to
Maoon have been named, and the
declaration made that such a fair
would give these oounties most ex
cellent advertising.
We heartily endorse tlie proposi
tion, and suggest that those wh"
are in the lead have a confemi'
meeting before the close of tin.
year.
Not so much for the advertising if
it that we endorse the proposing.,
but because we believe such an or
ganization will cause a county fair
to be held in each of the counties
becoming a party to the association.
With a county fair in each of
eight or ten counties, and the best
exhibits of eaoh of these earried to
the central fair, the cause of agri
culture generally would be very
much advanced, while every farmer
furnishing exhibits would be direct
ly benefitted.
Houston is in the “circuit” named,
and if the scheme goes, we here and
now put the other counties on notice
that Houston can capture the first
prize at the first fair if the proper
effort shall be made.

gressional vote of the state. It is

ground that the constitution of the
state is. invalid beoause of the fact
that it restricts suffrage, oontrary
to the constitution of the United
States.

The readers of this paper will be ploased to
loarn that there Is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure in all its
stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu
tional disoase, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Hall’s catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system, thereby destroying tho
foundation of tho disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its curative
powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for
any ease that it fails to euro. Bend for list of
