Figures in New York state show
a total morning attendance on Sun
day of over 27,000 persons or an
average at each church of 48. This
includes the evangelical churches
alone. The diocese of Brooklyn
alone, where there are 261 Catholic
churches, the average Sunday at
tendance is nearly 900,000. At least
five Catholic churches have an at
tendance of over 10,000, the edi
fices being filled seven and eight
times.
THE WATCHDOG’S VALUE.
The dog, which from time imme
morial hascbeen hailed as “man’s best
friend,'* has had a new honor be
stowed. upon him by insurance com
panies. He is now designated as the
"best burglar ahum,” and residences
where (fogs are kept are allowed a
5 to 10 per cent premium reduction.
The instinct to guard his master’s
property seems developed in the dogi
as in no other animal, hen attack ;
is ineffective, says a Corning paper,)
he will set up a disturbance that will j
frighten the most desperate crook, j
These are attributes which man has
known the faithful dog to possess,
and it is pleasant to see them recog
nized by such practical organizations
as insurance companies.
Nearly everybody in town owns a i
dog. The insurance companies do
not specify different kinds of dogs.
They even allow the spitz to figure
■i a safety appliance. The spitz is
ot deadly in bite, but it makes a
ig rioi3e r all the same and on occa
sions has been known to run off bur
glars. So that the actual value of
rfogs, besides being household pets,
becomes an element of insurance.
THE POULTRY INDUSTRY.
The New Orleans Times-Picayune
in commenting on the plan of farm
ing as adopted by the farmers of
Lincoln caunty, Mississippi, haa thfj
following to say:
"Twi hundred well-bred and in
dustrious hens, the Lincoln countians
are told, ‘will feed and clothe an av
erage-sized family.’ It is estimated
"that ‘one hundred hens on each Lin
coln county farm would produce a
value equal to a normal cotton crop.’
So Lincoln's farmers, or some of
them are planning to import thou
sands of chickens, establish incubat
ors at central points, and test the
productive value of poultry farm
ing.’’
If the Georgia farmers would
adopt a similar program prosperity
would soon return to everyone of
them. Poultry raising has been prov
ed a profitable industry and in
Clarke and surrounding counties
enough poultry and eggs have been
sold at the curb market to practi
•ally support every farmer who has
«aken advantage of the market.
There is a demand for eggs and
hickens and at prices profitable to
the raiser. Chickens can be raised
the year round and at a nominal
cost. At this season of the year the
demand for eggs is greater than at
any other season and the prices are
in keeping with the scarcity. In
making up a farm program for an
other year every farmer should in
clude a number of hens and make
the poultry industry a business worth
while.
PETE CRAIG FINDS LOST RIB.
Editor W. H. Craig writes as fol
lows of a new daughter-in-law:
“The papers of Daytona, Flu , an
nounce the marriage of Quentin Dur
ard Craig and Miss Virginia Kurtz,
e happy event having taken place
A p r il tlth of this year. The bride,
ith her mother, visited Pete and his
tther here just before the marriage
. let the Old Man see if she would
do. Having discovered she would do,
the marriage occurred soon after.
“The fact that she has kept a very
important, secret for seven months is
evidence that she is an unusual kind
of lady.
“Yes, irginia is all right, and I'ete
is all right, and the sun is shining
brightly as another little barque is
’aunched to sail for the Fortunate

at 3:30 P.M. THANKSGIVING DAY
THREE hundred and three years ago a band of
Pilgrims from the Old Country, “moored their
bark on a wild New England shore.”
N
Nine weeks previous this brave band, one
hundred in number, fleeing religious persecution,
had left Plymouth, England, in their little ship, the
Mayflower, and started west across the broad,
stormy ocean to the land of freedom.
This was the coming of our “Pilgrim Fathers,”
and the place of their landing in Massachusetts
was known as Plymouth Rock.
Scarcely had these brave pioneers become set
tled in their new colony when the terrible New
England winter was upon them. The suffering
which they endured is evidenced by the fact that
before the" following summer one-half of the party
had died.
Nothing daunted, those who were spared,
happy in their new-found freedom, stayed on,
planted their crops, and prepared for the follow
ing winter.
In 1621, the year following their landing, af
ter a good harvest, the Colonists determined on a
period of recreation combined with thanksgiving
for their many mercies.
The Governor sent oui four huntsmen, who in
one day secured enough game to supply the colony
for nearly a week.
This was the original American Thanksgiv
ing. For two hundred years it continued to be an
Eastern holiday, taking place after every fall har
vest. Today it is a national custom, the day being
observed throughout the United States.
In commemoraing this birth of our nation let
us remember that it was founded and raised on the
Bible; that religion came first and business was a
secondary consideration; that the laws of men
were based upon the laws of God; and that the
church was the firsst and most important organi
zation of every community.
The best that is in us we owe to these sober,
uncompromising, God-fearing New Englanders.
And the farther we drift from their stern teachings
and tenets, the greater is our danger of shipwreck
as a nation and as individuals.

The Value of a Bank Account.
Business men and people general
ly in Atlanta—which has always
been regarded as one of the financial
centers of the south—right now are
discussing the value of a bank ac
count, It might interest the readers
of this newspaper—and that’s what
the new editor is after—to write a
bit about bank accounts.
Sometimes one hears of a man
losing • Urge sum of money when it
is stolen from Us hiding place, per
haps a coffee pot, an old trunk, or
some other place that fs not secure.
Immediately he is classified as a
so-ealled dumb-bell.
Again one hears of people losing
money kept in their house, when
their home is destroyed by fire.
Here are some things worth re
membering on the value of a bank
account.
It is a good thing to have confi
dence in your banking institution.
It is a good thing to have a bank
account.
Have you ever considered the ben
efits that would come to you, if you
had a bank account?
Have you ever thought of it as
anything more than a depository
for idle, or surplus money?
It is all that and more. For in
stance, some one has set down in a
series of crisp paragraphs some of
the benefits that are yours, if you
have a bank account—and the bank
ers of Georgia are constantly using
such paragraphs in discussing the
subject.
What a Bank Account Does.
Here is what a bank account does:
It teaches economy.
It helps your credit.
It stimulates your courage.
It guards you against extrava
gance.
It gives you confidence in your
judgment.
It furnishes the best receipt for
the money you pay out.
It creates business habits that will
increase your savings.
It protects you from personal in
jury at the hands of robbers.
It enables you to get ahead during
the productive years of your life.
It provides you the means to take
advantage of a good business prop
osition.
It provides you with an accurate
and consecutive record of all money
paid out.
It enibles.you to pay your bills
with checks and avoid making
change. ~
It brings you into contact with
the best business men in your com
munity.

Three centuries removed from the founding
of this nation, we sometimes lose sight of the
earnest motive which moved the Pilgrims to de
clare a day, each year to be set apart, for offering
up sincere thankfulness to a good and just God
for his bountiful mercies.
Through all these years that act has been a
great leavening force. It removed retrospection
from the end of life and brought it to us annually.
It has helped make this one of the great nations
of the world.
Perhaps it would be best if at the end of ev
ery day we would pause to realize our failures to
be sincerely grateful for many blessings. Thanks
giving, however, offers us the occasion annually
and for this we are all grateful.
We are not unmindful of the good—the kind
—and the considerate thoughts and acts of our
fellowmen here in Lawrenceville. We are grate
ful for the part we are permitted to take in the up
building of this community. So we join hand with
all this Thanksgiving Day in paying honor to
whom honor is due.
