Thanksgiving.

1t would be a pessimistic person, indeed.
who could not find in a restrospection Of
che past twelve months abundant cause
for thaukfulness TO the Divine Power. On
last Thanksgiving day army camps in
several states were populous with uni
formed men ready to move at the direc-
ton Of the government. These men had
been called from the peaceful pursuits of
life 10 the most exactlng duties which a
government may place upon its citizens.
To-day we are al peace with every gov
eminent OF the world and the volunteers
who so readily responded to the call Of
their country have been returned to their
homes and ordinary vocatlons. The in
surrection in the Philippines has been
practically put down, and the probabilities
are that before many months have passed
most of our soldiers now in the islands
will have their faces turned homewapd.
Meantime a very considerable degree of
prosperity has come to the country as a
whole. The crops have been abundant,
the mills and factories have been busy
and labor has found employment. In our
own section, the cotton belt. the improve
ment has been marked and gratifying.
Thanksgiving day this year finds the
South in a better material condition pro-
badly than since the great Civil War.
And Georgia, we believe, leads the list of
Southern states in prosperity
While the fields have been fruitful and
the markets busy, the country has been
spared from any visitation of pestilence,
Notwithstanding the dreaded yellow fever
made its appearance at several places on
the Gulf during the not season and when
there was ground for fear the infection
might be spread. That the fever was con-
fined 10 the places In which il made it's
appearance, and has now been stamped
out is cause for profound gratitude on
the part of the jewellers in the Southern
coast cities.
The recurrence of the day finds Savan-
nah bigger and better than ever before
and with an exceptionally bright future to
look to. AS the leading port Of the South
Atlantic, she has enjoyed, and is enjoy
ing, fair portion of the prosperity OF
the country. Her development has been
marked and her prospects are most pleas
ing.
With so many reasons for thanksgiving
on the part of the nation, the states and
the cities, it must follow that there are
also similar reasons on the part Of indi-
viduals, And on this day, especially, each
individual should take account of the ben
efactions enjoyed, and render proper ac-
acknowledgements for them to the Most High.

A Thanksgiving Song.

From Leslie's Weekly.
Thou, to whom our fathers bowed of old,
Whose holy name was by their lips ex-
tolled,
Be our Thanksgiving lifted unto Thee
For blessings multiform and manifold!
Thanksgiving for all gracious eye-delight-
The nimble water dancing down the hight.
The irradiant tints that flower the open
fields,
The glamour of the sunset and the night!
Thanksgiving for the sweetness of speech
The harmonies that tuneful bird-tongues
teach,
The passionate arpeggios of the wind.
The lyric tree-tops calling each to eachl
Thanksgiving for high friendship for
the thrill
OF heart to heart when twilight hours
grow still;
For noble thoughts and sacrifcial deeds
That show the working of the master
will!
Thanksgiving for the manifest design
Through which the ascending coils of be-
ing shne!-
For every reckoning beacon fire that
leads
The striving mortal up to the divine!
Thanksgiving for Thine unremitting ward
In stress of strife, in time of blessed ac
cord
And mayst Thou be our guide and guar
dian still,
o Lord, that vert of old our fathers
Lord

THE ROAD TO SUCCESS.

In an article which appeared in the New
York World last Sunday, written by Sem
ator-elect Nathan b. Scott of West Vir-
ginia, there is some excellent advice for
young men who are anxious to get on in
the world. The following is an extract
from it. II is, in fact, the greater part of
it,
In business, from my earliest recollec-
tons, l had a determination always to do
what l was called upon to do better, If
possible than anybody else who was do
ing the same thing. | determined early
in life that if it became my lot to keep a
peanut stand on the corner of a street
would try to keep il better than my rivals
in business. 1 also resolved to have an
entire disregard for the number of hours
l was expected to give to my employer.
with a willingness to come earlier and stay
later than any other young man in the
employ of the firm or corporation.
The young man who watches the clock
for the moment to quit work, when he is
no longer legally expected to remain at his
duties, will never succeed in my opinion.
1t is only the young man who is willing to
sink himself and the passing pleasures
of life in order that he may lay the foun-
dation for his future usefulness and sue
cess in business way who succeeds.
Too many boys nowadays think they are
justified in doing just as little as they can
for the wages they get, and they will
not do any more for their. employer than
their contract actually calls for They
do not seem to take into consideration the
fact that there are tens of thousands of
boys and young men who can do the rou-
tine work that is done by the great ma
iority of clerks and other wage eamers.
The boys that accomplish something in
life are those who make themselves val
liable TO their employers, who can do
something more than is required of the or
binary wage Garner. The boy or young
man who is attentive to his work, and
who is constantly striving to perfect him
self in his duties, and who is not afraid
to work a little overtime when occasion
requires him TO do so, is the one who gets
the promotion when a chance for promo
ton comes. Success cannot be obtained
in anything without application. Nine
tenths of the successful men in this coun-
try, and perhaps in other countries, are
what are known as self-made men. What
they have accomplished is not due so
much TO any particular mental ability as
to intelligent and persistent work What
Mr.. Scott says about his own career is
true of the careers of the great majority
there is no royal road to learning. The
same is true in respect to business or pro-
fessional success.

Jack Rogers was a newspaper report er

had been requested TO move on. So he de

to set there was the question. Jack put
on his thinlSing-cap, and the result was
that two hours later he found himself on
a train and the conductor standing by his

halted in front of man in the back

"Mr Smitem, this is Mr.. Rogers. He

How do you do, Mr.. Rogers" said the

st. Peter Couldn't Keep Him Ont.


''The brightest reporter I ever knew /"
said newspaper man, according to the
Denver Post, was Billy Gaylor, who died
al Hot Spring in 1885. He was most
persistent fellow after an item. and that
reminds me Of a little story about the
last incident of his career. He had been
assigned by certain Chicago daily to in
terview an eminent Bishop about a schism
in the church. The Bishop didn't want
to talk and wouldn't see him, but Gavlor
bribed servant to let him into the hall
and he waylad the dignitary as he was
coming through. He was ordered out for
his pains, but next day he penetrated the
house again on some pretext or other, and
was again fired
He repeated the exploit three or four
times with similar results, and at last the
Bishop, coming home late al night, found
Billy sitting in his study reading the Bible
Nobody could explain how he got in but
the prelate wilted and told him what he
wanted 10 know, on condition that he
would go away and stay away.
Shortly afterward poor Gaylor got gall
looping consumption and died, and. hap
pening to meet the Bishop at a church
conference, told~him that the young man
who had once so molested him would
never do 1t again.
Let US hope that he is in heaven
said clergyman standing by.
THE Bishops eyes twinkled. He loved
a joke.
No doubt he is he replied, gently. 7
don't think they could keep him out"
