Both teams did good playing, and
the girls arn’t down hearted but
the boys are elated. That night
the Fort Valley folks entertained
us by a party, which we fully ap
preciated and enjoyed.

the first victory won with them
shall be Perry’s.
Isnt it strange how folks love to

thought his picture was good,
he didn't say so. But as a whole

Into the pot you must surely fall.

Witn the offlps so delicious x

With the cuiling rings of dressing
With the siiuco of red cranberry
I should answer, I should tell you.
From tlie farm of nearby farmer,
From the grocer and the fruiter,
From the kitchen and the pantry,
Cooked and served l y our cook.
Should you ask me why this feast spread so
grandly!
I should answer I should toll you,
‘Vis the day of thanking set aside
Once a year to thank the Lord
Fov blessings that lie sonds,
For the joys that all do share,
In the forest and .the fern-lands,
On the Melancholy shore
The brave folks called the Pilgrims
Started this Thanksgiving day.
If still further you should ask me,
baying, “ Who were these Pilgrims
Tell ub of these PllgrimBf”
1 should answer your inquiries
Straightway in such words us follows;
‘.’in the town of Phymouth
In the good and silent town
Dwelt the brave Pilgrims,
And beyond them stood the forest
Green in summer white in winter
There they Bang of God
Sang his wondrous love and care,
There the prayed and there they feasted
There they lived and toiled and suffered
That the tribes of men might live
That they might advance their freedom
(Written to llie meter of Hiawatha, by
Beverly Wallace.)
The turkey is big, and fat, and round.
The fire roars and the turkey’s nearly
brown,
Tho Bunco is still in the big round pail_
Heady to be euten by all without fail,
The turkey is good and brown.

And left little mary at eight they say
She lived with her grandmother who

And hunger lurked just outside their
