THANKSGIVING DAY
In November of each year our
President issues a proclamation
commanding that a certain day
be set apart on which all peoples
of these United States shall give
thanks for the blessings they
have received.
We know this day as Thanks¬
giving Day. It is the first holi¬
day instituted on American Soil
and each year our thoughts
travel back to that little band of
Puritans, who having survived
the rigor of the bleak New Eng¬
land winter, reaped the results
of their summer toil and gather¬
ed to thank God for their boun¬
tiful harvest and for the health
and the strength that He had
bestowed upon them.
We today have ever so much
more to be thankful for than
did those first Americans, but
we have become so accustomed
to our many blessings that we
are prone to take them for grant¬
ed. We still have the same beau
ty of the shining sun and moon
the same voices of the rain and
the wind and the same tran¬
quility of the woods and streams
that those first Americans had
but we also have the progress in
education, medicine and science
which is continually opening up
new vistas of health, comfort
safety and aids to us in our work-
a-day lives as additional bless¬
ings, and come fall God still
blesses us with a rich and boun-
tious harvest.
“We thank thee, then. O Father
For all things bright and
good,
The Seedtime and the harvest.
Our life, our health, our food:
No gifts have we to offer
For all thy love imparts,
But that which thou desirest,
Our humble, thankful hearts.

TRENTON CITY ELECTIONS
People of Trenton, have you
registered yet for the city elec¬
tions to be’ held Decmbr 2? Re¬
member, everyone must register
in order to be able to vote.
The City Recorder will mose his
Registration book to the Court
House on November 20, where it
will remain open until November
26. Today is November 20—you
haven’t much time left.
The state troopers were here
last Monday for those who
wished to take an examination
for drivers’ license. We are glad
to see so many and wish we
knew that everyone who drove
had been tested and found eli¬
gible to drive. Thirty-one took
the test and all passed it.
ACCIDENT
Understand another car went
over the embankment of the
Lookout Mountain road last
Friday night. There were two
children in the car. No one
killed.
It’s getting so that the people
'round about won’t tell us when
these accidents happen tho their
children travel this road twice a
day in the school bus.
Are the taxies in this town
always on an emergency mes¬
sage so that it is necessary for
them to speed about in such a
wild manner?
WATER
We understand that the work
being done on the Trenton water
system should be completed this
week, provided the good weather
holds out. All needed equip¬
ment is on hand
The pipe line is in. Repre¬
sentatives from the Brock
Blevins Welding Company are
now installing the two large
tanks. The installing of the
chlorinator and pump will be
next. . Mr; Hodnette an engineer
from the McCrary Engineer Co.,
in Atlanta is still here supervis¬
ing'the work.
Seems like we’re going to get
a lot of water with or without
the bond issue. Of course there
will still be a lot of work to be
done but pumping water up into
tanks should make an adequate
supply of water at all times.

Robert Thurman, a boy of ten

ous accident last evening. He

on his head, seriously injuring
the spine so much as to create
paralysis of the whole system.
He is improving, and we hope
his injuries may not be as seri¬
ous as was first thought.
From Slygo
I have been reading the Ga¬
zette for nearly a year and have
seen communications from al¬
most every place of note in the
county except Slygo, and feeling
that Slygo ought to be repre
sented through the columns of
our dear spicy county sheet, and
that a few dots from this little
back valley might not be wholly
uninteresting to its readers,
venture this article Slygo would
be hard to describe, however I
will try it. It is almost entirely
surrounded by spurs of the Rac¬
coon Mountains, having only two
outlets (unless you go out across
the mountains) one towards
Trenton, the other towards
Chattanooga. It extends from
W. I. Cole’s on the south to
Gooseneck on the north, a dis¬
tance of about three miles, hav¬
ing an average width (as the
fellow said about his hogs, which
averaged from 200 to 300 pounds)
from one-half to one and a half
miles, more or less. The soil is
moderately fertile, but wheat is
a failure this year on account
of the warm, bug, fly, rust and
everything else to which wheat
is heir; oats were not worth cut¬
ting, corn looks well. If we have
plenty of hog and hominy we
can keep off the wolves-
I like Slygo, I like her people
and as a general thing I like
their ways, but there is one thiftg
about them I dislike, that is,
when they want to go anywhere
tjrey always prefer going thru
the woods than gding the road,
and the consequence is they have
no roads. I am almost ashamed
ed to say that there is not a good
half mile of road in the broad
domain of Slygo. Why it is
that her citizens will do without
public roads, and go off five
miles and help other people work
roads which they never travel
except while working them, is a
mystery that I cannot solve, un¬
less the people are just so good
that they do not wish to run the
risk of offending anyone by con¬
tending for their rights.
Respectfully,
Enquirer.

You CAN join us in bragging about the low
cost of electricity — for after all, you are the
one who benefits most.
And there’s plenty to crow about:
The average price paid today for each kilo¬
watt hour of electricity used in Georgia
homes is one-third less than 10 years ago.
Georgia homes pay an average price of
about two cents for each kilowatt hour of
electricity, while the average American home
pays a little more than three cents. That’s
a whole penny’s difference on each kilowatt
hour—and in your favor.
Low cost electric service provides more
benefits to more Georgia homes every day.

SEED IMPROVEMENT
One year ago only 3,500 acres
were grown in certified seed
crops in Georgia and only nine
crops were certified. Today,
more than 17,00 acres are being
certified, including 47 varieties
of crops.
IRRIGATION IN GEORGIA
Simple, home-built irrigation
systems or inexpensive, bought
systems are enabling numerous
Georgia farmers to grow tv/o,
three or four crops per year from
the same land. In addition to
increasing number of crops
grown, yields are being stepped
up.
