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. OBITUARY MRS.

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. Wildwood Letter The Young People’s Bible Stu ay Group met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Dantzler last Thursday night. There were 25 present.

The floor has been laid in the new church and by the last of next week we have no doubt but what it will be ready for use. Mr. J. K. P.

Mrs. L. returns thanks to Mrs. Hattie Fricks for the first mess of roasting-ears of the season Mrs. L. S. Tidwell, who has been on a visit to relatives in Tennessee, returned home last week. Prof W. H. Sutton expects to open a commercial and business college in Chattanooga in a few days. Success to him. It is said that A. C.

Janeway of Trenton has been quite sick for several days, though we are glad to learn that she is improving. At one time it was thought that she would not recover, but by close attention and good nursing she Slygo News Rev. Bob Smith filled his reg¬ ular appointment at the church here Sunday morning at 11 A special Thanksgiving-serv¬ is being planned for Wednes evening. November 26. The people will meet Sunday at the church for practice. The Epworth League was en¬ at the home of Mr. and Tom Slaughter Saturday The Reds sponsored party honoring the Blues, had won the attendance Bible quiz contest.

The Ladies Home Demonstra¬ Club will meet at the home Mrs. Frank Cordell Thursday Just to keep the records the “Keep Georgia movement refers to the the citizenry. has begun to improve, and will soon be able to be out again. Robert Thurman, a boy of ten years, happened to quite a seri¬ ous accident last evening. He fell backwards off the porch 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.

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.
