We thank Thee, o Father, for all thai
is bright
The CLEAN Of the day, and the starB OF
the night;
The flowers Of our youth and the fruits
of our prime,
And blessings that march down the
pathway of time,
We thank Thee, o Father, for all that
Is drear-
The sob of the tempest, the flow OF the
tear;
Fec never in blindness, and never in
vain,
Thy percy permitted sorrow or pain.
We thank Thee, o Father, for song and
for feast -
The harvest that glowed and the
wealth that increased
For never a blessing encompassed
earth's child
But thou in Thy mercy looked down
ward and smiled.
We thank Thee, o Father, of all, for the
power
OF aiding each other in life's darkest
hour;
The generous heart and the bountiful
hand,
And all the soul help that sad souls un-
derstand.
We thank Thee, o Father, for days yet
to be-
For hopes that our future will call us
to Thee
That all our Eternity form, through
Thy love,
One Thanksgiving Day In the mansions
above.

Laura, my pride, my darling,
And my little Rosalie,
And the children all are coming
To keep Thanksgiving with me.
The great worlds din is softened
Ere it reaches this abode,
This mountain farm, that lieth
Under the smile Of God.
So open the doors and windows,
And let in the golden air,
Sweep out the dust and cobwebs,
And make the old home fair.
For swift from Hamlet and city
Swift over river and sea,
My boys and girls are hasting
To keep Thanksgiving with me.

A BIG LUMBER CONCERN.
One Hundred and Twenty Thousand
Acres of Timber Land bought I'm.

One OF the largest lumber enterprises
that has ever been inaugurated in Georgia
Is that of the Pineopolis Lumber Com
pany. This company has bought up 10000
acres of timber lands in Colqultt and Ber-
rien counties, and will have three saw
mills at different points on the Georgia
Southern and Florida railroad to manufac-
ture lumber.
One mill is already in operation in Col
quit county, about two miles from
Sparks, and the plant of the Amoskeag
mill is to be moved to a point on the
Bayboro Short Line. The location of the
third mill has not yet been decided on.
The company also has eleven miles of rail-
road built, and proposes to build other
lines into the timber region.
The owners of the new concern are
Messrs. II. p. Smart, d. G. Bacon, r. j.
Colcord, NJ. +. Amorous and J. b. Nor

ing over the property of the company, says
that Colquitt and Berrien counties are the
most productive lands in the world Last
year he saw cotton, corn, sugar cane and
other crops in that section that could not
be beaten anywhere, and the farmers not
only had all they wanted to eat, but were
ahead of the world in money matters. The
most of the output of the Pineopolis Lum-
Der Company will go to Atlanta and the
west.
