What I Am Thankful For.

Ed. Register-On Thanksgiving day tn,
different churches of Arcadia Valley held ,
/ Union Service at Fort Hill Church, kind
Of an experience meeting. As had not beer
inside of a church for so long, / thought
would like to go once more, and as did MOI
hear word of all that was said, you may
know that it was not very entertaining. Or
my way home asked dear and kind friend
what they were all saying, for 1 saw people
from all parts of the house get up and talk
She said, "All were requested to give a five
minutes talk upon 'WDat have you to be
thankful for?'" She said, "One man said, 8
am thankful that came to America, where
could get something to eat;' another said,
HE was thankful for the good schools and
the advantages of education"
| After all had done speaking, saw Mr..
Roberts look at me and say something, but
as 1 could not hear and did not know wha,
| was wanted, did not say anything. But
| now know he wanted me to tell what l was
| thankful for. Now let me tell then through
the REGISTER that after being so very thank
| full that "God so saved the world that he
| gave his only begotten son that whosoever
believed on him should not perish, but have
everlasting life," am thankful that He gave
me such good eyes that l can see; eyes are
the windows of he soul. That can see the
faces OF all my children and grand children,
and all the dear kind friends. What terri
BILE thing it must be to be shut out of the
light-shut up in darkness. One of the
seven plaques of Egypt was total darkness
so dark it could be felt. What enjoyment
receive as sit and look off over the noun
tains and see all the works of nature. The
hills and mountains clothed in green, the
rocks, the clear running brooks, the clouds,
the sky; the little flowers in all the various
colors, the trees in blossom in their turn {;
and to sit on some OF those rocky crags of
the mountain in early dawn and watch the
sun as it begins to give its light and comes
into sight-Oh, 1t is grand! And then in the
fall of the year some night the cold from the
north comes unseen silently and paints all
the beautiful firms and leaves and vines on
the windows, the grass and leaves all cover
ed with frost. When the sun comes up how
it all vanishes away, and as we look we see
the leaves begin to change their color and
take on all the most gorgeous hues, until the
whole earth seems to have put on their
beautious hues. And then am so thankful
l have eyes to read. What enjoyment to sit
around a pleasant hearth and read some il
teresting book or paper to listening COM
pany of friends! Aud am thankful for the
printing press whose leaves are sown broad
cast over the world, to convey the thoughts
of wise men to all parts of the earth, bearing
healing on their wings. And I am thankful
for all the promises and blessings; and, as
the Psa!mist said, 81 have been young but
now [ am old, but l have never seen the
righteous forsaken nor his seed begging
bread.' T. P. r.

The Last Fly of Summer.

The Last Fly of Summer.
Ills the last fly of summer,
Left buzzing alone;
All its black legged companions
Are frozen and gone:
Not one Of its kindred,
No.blue-bottle is nigh,
To sport mid the sugars,
Or in the milk die.
I'il not doom thee, thou lone one.
a victim to be;
Since the rest are all vanished,
Come dine thou with me.
Thus kindly scatter
Some crumbs of my bread,
Where thy mates on the table
Lie withered and dead.
But soon you will perish,
Pm sadly afraid.
For the glass is at twenty,
just now, i'm the shade:
When wasps have all vanished
And blue-bottles flown,
No fly can inhabit
This bleak world alone!

Central Railroad Officials Not Very
Happy About 1t.
A railroad man who is in position to
know, and who is optimistically disposed
rather than otherwise, said yesterday to a
MORNING NEWS reporter that within few
months-he could not say exactly how long
almost the whole force of Central rail-
road employees now engaged in the two
large office buildings on West Broad street
will be- disposed of and the offices removed
to Atlanta.
The auditing department, under Con-
troller Mcintyre. numbering nearly $50
men, and the claims department, car &C.
countants and other smaller departments
will be removed there and consolidated
with the general Offices of the Richmond
and Danville.
Nothing but the office of the general
freight agent Of the Central aud
Georgia Pacific, the assistant general pas
senger agents office, the division superin-
tendent's Office, and, perhaps, the office Of
the general superintendent, will remain in
Savannah. Everything else will go, aud
there will be rooms 20 let at the Ceutrals
Offices on West Broad street.
Controller Mcintyre, Auditor of Receipts
Milo II. Freeman, Superintendent of Mo-

His Return from the National Fire
Chiefs Co invention.
Chief Fireman Puder returned yesterday
from the convention of the National Fire
Chiefs Association at Springfield, Mass,
he was reelected sergeant-at-arms, and
was also made member of the executive
committee, Of which Chief Bonner of New
York is chairman.
Chief Puder said the display of
fire department apparatus was
the finest he had ever witnessed. There
we're over fifty exhibits. The Fire Chiefs
Association, he said, proposes from now on
to fight to have all wires for telephone teIe-
graph, electric and other purposes placed
underground, because of their great inter-
ferepce in preventing the erection Of lad
ders against burning buildings and the dan
ger of causing accidents.
Chief Puder said that the association was
royalty entertained by the citizens of
Springfield. The members were given q
banquet at Hartford by the Under writer's
Association. He visited and inspected the
fire departments Of New York Boston,
Worcester, Holyoke and other cities, and
comparing those cities with Savannah's size
Chief Puder hasn't seen anything superior

FIGHTING OVER A BEER LABEL

Interesting Correspondence Between
The Savannah Brewing Company
and George Meyer.
A lengthy and interesting card from the
Savannah Brewing Company appears in to-
days MORNING NEWS, containing the CORE
spondonce between the Savannah Brewing
Company and George Meyer, agent for the
Anheuser-Busch Company, relative to a
label which the brewing company had
adopted for its champagne beer, aud which
Mr. Meyer considered an imitation of the
Faust beer label of the Anheuser-Busch
Brewing Company, and consequently an
infraction upon their rights.
The card is in answer to Mr.. Meyers ad-
vertisement in Sundays and Mondays
MORNING NEWS in which, he pronounced
the Savannah Brewing Company's label an
imitation of the trademark of the An
heuser- Busch Brewing Company, which the
latter had compelled the former to stop
using. He warned tho trade not to offer
for sale any bottled beer with this label, and
concluded by Offering 800 reward for proof
of an instance whore the 'Famons Faust
Beer" had been called for and the 'imiUe-
ton" of the Savannah Brewing Company
had been given.
The brewing company considered it in
cumbent upon it to make full showing of
its action in the matter i'll reply TO Mr..
Meyers advertisement.
The brewing company's card makes spicy
and interesting reading. There seems to be
sharp rivalry between the Savannah
Brewing Company and Mr.. Meyer as agent
for the Anheuser- Busch company.
