Keep Brunswick dollars in Bruns
wick; bring back Brunswick’s ship
ping, develop the farm lands of Glynn
county and build up the trade terri
tory that belongs to us, and you can’t
keep Brunswick from growing! If
you do not do these things, she can
not grow'. That's all there is to it!
It's a pretty bad situation when
officers of the law are permitted to
shoot revolvers into the cars of citi
zens who are on the public highways
purely within their legal rights. Some
few- Brunswick and Glynn county of

irons and the thing should he stopped i
In the selection of Judge Edwin j
W. Dart, for the city recordership.!
the city commissioners have made i- 1
wise selection. Judge Dart is a popu-;

ability and dignity to a bench that
needs it badly!

That was a very fine message that
Hom. Emmett Houser, of Fort Valle;
sent to the peopel of Glynn county
through The News yesterday morn
ing. The truth of the matter is that,
Houser is one of the best fellows in
Georgia and if we had our way, bo
would get all’ of the good things ho j
wishes out of this old world of ours, j
_ I
The fact that the Germain com
pany, large lumber and crosstie deal
ers, are to return to Brunswick in a
limited fashion should serve to arouse
our people to the necessity of win
ning back the commerce of the pori.
Informed Brunswickians know why
and where it has gone. It only takes
nerve and force to define the situa
tion and to render Brunswick a sig
nal service. The News is ready and
willing to undertake the job, if the
people of Brunswick will rally behind
it.
Of all of the charities of the Amer
ican people none of them are more
worthy and in the interest of a cause
more righteous as the little Christ
mas Red Gross seal sales. This fund
goes to the comfort of those'who suf

unfortunates who are stricken
through no fault of their own! Else

FAITH FOR BUILDING.
(By J. W. Simmons, President Bruns-
Board of Trade.)
If the proper kind of faith, as the
Good Book says, “can remtfve moun
tains,” certainly the right kind of
faith in your home town entertained
by a sufficient number of its citizens,
and backed up by good works, can
make it into a large city. There has
been sufficient growth in other cities
of the South, notably some in our
neighboring state of Florida, With not
one whit more of natural advantages
to commend them, to show that af
ter all, the building of cities is a job
for men of faith and vision, and not
altogether a question of location.
The latest United States census re
ports are startling in their showing
of the growth of industry in the
South. These figures show that dur
ing the last decade this section has
far outstripped every other in the
nation in the rapidity Of growth in
manufacturing, both in number and
variety of plants, as well as the val
ue of the output. Even New Eng
land, the first home of American, in
dustry, and which for years has been
held up to the nation is the section
par excellence for the location of in
dustries that thrive, is yielding the
palm for expansion in these lines to
the favored southland, where raw ma
teria! and economic manufacturing
conditions join hands in Producing
the ideal location.
If the South is growing, and if
the south js the coming section of the
nation, Brunswick should quickly
recognize the fact that the South ■is
expecting something of her in keep
ing pace with the section, and must
fit herself to serve as one of the
portways through which must come
and go the materials and the pro
ducts of this vastly increasing indus
try from and to the outside world.
An abundant faith in Brunswick
must characterize all her citizens.
Hope for her future and faith in the
destiny she certanil has before her
should find every citizen busy with his
hands and heart in bringing about
his hopes. The outside world has nc
patience with quitters. They have
no time to listen to knockers and en
tertaining idle excuses for failures.
Sympathy for the hard luck of munic
ipalities finds no place in the hearts
of the outside world. But the world
certainly does stop and take notice
when a likely looking procession is
passing by, and when the glad strains
of the band of progress enliven the
air.
If you love your city, you mil work
for it. If you do not like the town
in which you live; Pick out a likeable
town, according to our notion, go
there and help make it bigger and
better. One can tear down in a fev/
minutes a reputation for a city, it
has taken time and many men to
build. The character of a city is the
composite character of its citizens.
The reputation of a city is the com
posite reputation of its citizens. Arc
you a builder of the best character
and reputaton for your city?
If faith is necessary to keep you
straggling for your ideals as an in
dividual, all the more is concrete civic
faith necessary for the working out
of a city's ambitions.
We are just beginning to awaken
to our possibilities. We have known
they were here all the time, but we
have waited for some fairy to come I
along with a wand and build them
into workable possibilities. Now wc
are taking hold of them ourselves and
capitalizing them. If this had been j
done fifty yean ago, Brunswick)
would now be a city of more than a j
100,000 population, maybe far more. ;
Let us not let the traces slacken one j
bit in our pull for place and poweh i
The developments for resort and j
pleasure purposes, which will bring hi j
men and wealth are now well on the j
way. Let us adopt something else a-1
a goal and work toward it.
Allow us to suggest municipal dock
'development, with a hearty begin
ning and large plans for expansion.
There is not the slightest possibility
of their failure. The section is .wait
ing for the opening of oth ports to
coal export, to manufactured pro
ducts' and to staple crops’ export.
A pair of up-to-date coal tipples
would quickly pay for themselves.
There are 2,500 carloads on Georgia
railroads now waiting for unloading
into ships’ bottoms. There are mil
lions of tons undug for which the
world is crying that will 1 pass through
Some southern port. Why not have
them come through here?.
Oh, dozens of other practical ideas
for building the city, suggest tlrem
selves, and the citizens of 'Brunswick,
we think can how be depended upon
to continue in the harness until real
'growth and expansion in rapid strides
comes upon us. Hold to, the faith
yog how h*vc am! 'enlarge, your
ion! Nothing is impossible. Look
•at the barren palmetto and Palm
wastes that ar low hustling munic
ipalities where real estate values al
most equal those; of New York, anil
determine to make your city bigger
and better than these.
THE ORIGIN OF THANKSGIVING
DAY.
The historian dipped quill in ink
and prepared to write.
He was about to chronicle an inci
dent in the history of a party recent
ly landed from the “shiPpe Ayde,’
of the Frobisher Expedition, which
brought the first English settlers to
the them very New World.
“On Monday mornnig, . May 27,
15?8,” scratched the quill, “on board
the Ayde (off the Newfoundland
coast) we received all the commun
ion by the minister of Gravesend anil
prepared as good Christians toward
God and resolute men for all 1 fortunes
and toward night we departed toward
Tilberry Hope.
' “Here we highly praysed God and
altogether upon our knees gave him
due humble and hearty thanks and
Maistef Wolfall a learned man ap
pointed by her majesty’s council to
be our minister ,made upto us a god- ]
lye sermon, exhorting all especially j
to be thankful to God for his strange i
and miraculous deliverance in those j
dangerous places
This, it apears, was North Ameri
ca’s initial Thanksgiving service.
The first record of any similar ob
servance on the soil of what now i:
the United States was that of the
Popham colonists at Sagadahoc, Me.
in August, 1607.
But these were mere services.
A whole Thanksgiving Day, begin
ning with worship of course, but in
cluding also turkey and appropriate
trimmings, was proclaimed by Gov
ernor Bradford, of Massachusetts, on
Dec. 31, 1621.
This was the Thanksgiving Day
generally spoken of as our first.
In reality it lasted three days. The
governor’s proclamation designated
on! yone but the colonists enjoyed the
feasting su much that they stretched
it out.
The Pilgrims, as Puritans, be it re
membered, didn’t think much c’
Christmas. Yet they wanted some
day they could celebrate. They took
kindly to Thanksgiving as a substi
tute. _
True, some years they missed it,
either because they were pretty busy
or didn’t feel very thankful, but oth
! er years they celebrated twice.
Once, just as the Massachusetts
colonists were sitting down to a gor-
geous spread, it was learned that the;
godless aborigine who had Purveyed
the venison and turkey for the occa
sion, acquired them, by sleight of bow
and arrow, on the Lord’s Day.
For this the redskin was compelled
to return the money paid to him and
receive 39 lashes instead.
“Habing inflicted a just and right
eous punishment on the sinful Ih
dian,” says the chronicle, “the com
pany, with the exception of one mem
ber whose conscience, was not satis
fied, fell upon the meal and 'devoured
it.”
By 1684 the festival had become a
regular annual event in Massachu
setts. Before long it was observed
similarly throughout all New Eng-:
land.
During ti c Revolution, the Conti-1
nental Cnigress recommended eight)
Thanksgiving Days and- Genera; j
Washington two.
In September, 1789, Representative
Boudinet asked Congress to suggest
to the president a day of thanks foi
the constitution.
“In my opinion,” said Representa
tive Burke, objecting, “this would be
a silly mimicking of European ways.”
“And in mine'” Said Representative'
Tucker, objecting too, “before giving
thanks for the constitution, it would
be Well to try it for a while and sec
how it works.”
j Perhaps with turkey and cranberry
I sauce in mind, Congress, made the
| suggestion nevertheless and Presi-
dent Washington named Nov. 26.
Various other national executives
followed suit. Thomas Jefferson cer
tainly was one of them, for it is of)
record that a certain Connecticut i
clergyman, in his Thanksgiving ser- j
mon, besbught on behalf of the Mon-;
ticello Sage, as “our president,” a
goodly portion of the divine grace.
“For well O Lord, thou knowest,”
the worthy pastor reminded his
Diety, “how much he needeth it.”
However, a presidential proclama
tion was by no means the invariable i
rule in those days. More often than
hot the governors of tiie various
states were left to issue proclauia*
tions f their own, and this they gen
erally did, though not always for tylfc
same day.
Finally, just after Gettysburg, Mrs.
Sarah J. Hale, of Philadelphia, sent!
a copy of Washington's first procla
mation to President Lincoln urging
him to issue one of his own. Lincoln
did, naming Aug. 6.
Since then a Presidential proclama
tion has been, issued every year, and
witft <ia- ‘ Thurs -
iia.y in November always has been the
‘ day. t

During services at church,-Louise,
age three and one-half, became

aunt consented, intending to return
to the services. Just before Louise
left the church the offering was
taken, and at the monihnt of their
departure the parishiphers were
taking communion. When Louise
arrived home she was asked what
the people in church were doing at

“Well, grandmother, they were .
