THIS CITY OF OURS
LONG ON THANKS,
Americas Will Appropriately Observe
Holiday.
BY SUSPENSION OF BUSINESS.
And Returning Thanks For Manifold
Blessings Received-How Very
Thankful People Here Will Observe
the Occasion

Americas is going to have quiet
but happy Thanksgiving, enjoying the
day as it should be. There will be a
very general suspension of business
and all classes of citizens will mite in
giving thanks for the many blessings
bestowed upon us by an ever kind
Providence.
In many homes this spirit of thanks
giving will be dominant.
The merchants will close their stores !;
bankers, warehousemen-al will take
day off from wellnigh ceaseless toll
to enjoy the occasion.
The railway depots, railway shops
and the public buildings will be closed
10 very great extent. The postofice
will be run on holiday schedule that
the employees there may enjoy their
turkey. In fact, whole city full of
people will lay aside all business.
Aud various will be the plans en-
ployed for enjoying the day.
First of all, union service will be
held at First Methodist church at II
O'Clock this morning at which all the
congregations will worship. Rev.
Leroy G Henderson will conduct the
service.
OF course the amateur hunter will be
out very early, hundreds of him, and
| avaFv hit 0t field and woods within c
radius of ten miles will be trampled
over in vain search for Bob White
and MolIie Cottontail. Their safety
today is guaranteed,
Of course the Thanksgiving dinner
will be the chief event of the day.
And in enjoying your own bounty
remember that there are many among
us whom fortune may not have favored
as much as Yourself
The matinee this afternoon at tn,
opera house and the same play tonigh
will afford diversion for many. Th'
company playing here is said to be 1
good one and, no doubt, will be greet
ed by large audience at each per
Torrance, as it we'll deserves.
It was expected that the Amerlcu
Light Infantry would parade this af
ternoon, but as many of the men arr
hunting rabbits and robins in thu
country the proposition was aban
doned.

RECEIPTS STILL RUNNING LOW
Warehouses Handled But "a Bales
Yesterday.

Cotton receipts in Americus were at
low Iwater mark yesterday, running
below receipts for any day since the
opening of the season in September.
But "a bales were handled at the six
warehouses and the greater portion of
this lot was sold at prices ranging from
81 to n cents. Farmers continue to
assert that the crop is all in, and re-
ceipts during the past few days would
indicate that this opinion was not wide
of the mark. All the warehouses will
be closed today and no market reports
will be sent out from the exchanges.

INTERVIEW WITH THE PRINCE.

Special Correspondence Associated Press
LONDON, Friday, Jan. l.-Following is
the substance of an interview with the
Prince OF Wales which is to appear shortly
In London magazine. There is every rea-
son to believe it is perfectly ganuine, and
it is understood to be the first interview In
which his Royal Highness has been di-
rectly quoted:
A correspondent who had been privileged
TO meet the Prince of Wales on more than
cne occasion had an interview with Eng
lands future King, at Marlborough House.
his Royal Highness London residence,
some time ago. The prince talked with
great frankness concerning himself and
his views on various subjects. If any one
ever deserved the appellation of "a busy
man." the prince does. and there are few
city merchants or business men who work
harder than he does. and even the London
public has no idea Of the quantity OF work
he gets through in the course of a day.
1t is only by following most method
zeal arrangement that he is able TO do so
much as he does in the time. As matter
of fact. all his engagements are made
weeks and sometimes months ahead. and
every hour, almost every minute, is mapped
cut for him
When the correspondent was ushered into
his study at Marlborough House the prince
was seated at an old-fashioned pedestal

used by his father. the late prince consort.
which was piled high with papers and docu-
r-ents of all descriptions. He wore black
n orning coat and vesr, dark gray trousers
square-fronted collar. with a white-spotted
black bow tie and patent-leather shoes.
and In his fingers he held the inevitable
cigar His greeting was kind in the ex-
treme. II was merely like an elderly busi-
ness man smiling kindly welcome to
scme young and daring intruder.
''well. what do you want to say?''
was his Royal Highness' query as soon rs
the preliminary greeting was over.
The correspondent launched forth his
questions. beginning with inquiries about
the numerous public dinners which the
prince attended. and alludIng TO the pub
lished statement that the prince held the
record for obtaining the largest sum OF
money ever collected at one banquet.
Eyes. that's quite correct. I certainly
hold the record in that respect" said the

Queen Victoria is believed to be
