DO let US be thankful
On Thanksgiving day.
And are we really grateful people2
We have national Thanksgiving day
appointed every year, and thai is some
thing for which we should all be thank
full. 1t would i'll become a people so
favored as We are, to appear utterly I'M
grateful. We have enough as a nation
to call for some public expression of
gratitude And our feast of ingather-
ing" may well be kept, from sea to sea,
and from the rivers unto the ends of the
earth, at least wherever there are any
of Uncle Sans children to keep this
feast with thanksgiving and the voice
of melody
Compare our conditions, even that of
our common people, with the discom-
fort of those who first called for day
of public Thanksgiving Fad he no more
.of life's comforts than they had, noble,
'self-sacrifcing God fearing men and
women that they were, we should prob.
ably be having day of murmuring and
repining, thinking our circumstance 8
hard indeed. Perhaps more of us would
agree with the sorrowful deacon who
proposed to have a day of fasting and
prayer" than with the happy hearted
one, who preferred having "a day of
Ifeasting and praise for mercies received.
Blessed as we are, there are not few
Of Us ready to cry out why be thank
full
Not those who are the most favorably
situated, and have the very pleasantest
surroundings are always the most CRATE
ful, the best satisfied or the happiest
people in the world though they ought
to be, and most of Us have more to be
thankful for than to complain about,
whether we think so or not.
We may not have all that we crave of
earthly goods, perhaps nobody ever did
have all his heart could desire Bat
when we begin to count our mercies we
find that we have quite a number, many
we would rather not part with right
away. Every lay blessings are not to be
despised or lightly estimated, for very
great discomforts come from tho loss Of
what we consider unimportant until we
have met with there loss thereof Then
when it is too late, we know how great
the value Have we ordinary health,
bread to eat raiment to put on2 Have
we homes to dwell in and friends to
care for Us with deer, pure, unselfsh
love; that goes 50 IA towards making
our earthly homes like Heaven? And
waen they are ever so-far-away do they
send US heartcheering letters or mes
sa5e3 Of lover Then let us never ask
one another why be thankful"
Have we met with depressing dis
appointments sincs last Thanksgiving
day2 Has cruel deaths dark shadow
come between us and some loved one 7
All right! Let Us not forget it ia only a
dark shadow the parting will be hut
for little while, and then eternal life,
everlasting friendship On. give tan ks

His mercy eudureth forever. Aunt

SCOTT CHEsTNUTTs cTsE.
Court win Determine Case of Interest
 t0 Georgia.

Court WflI Determine Case of iaferess
 t0 Georgia.
 The case of Scott Chestnut vs. the State of Alabama, in which q fight iS being waged between a writ of habeas corpus and reauisition papers issued by the Governor of Georgia. was sub mitted to the State Supreme Court yes7 terday.
 Scott Chestnut. it will be recalled, was arrested in Birmingham on the charge of running a gambling house in Atlanta. While he was being held in the county jail of Jefferson County he applied, through counsel. to the judge of the Criminal Court for a writ of habeas corpus. The proceed ings were heard and liberty was denied the prisoner.
 By some effect of the law. the ap- peal which Chestnut took from the Criminal Court of Jefferson County has served to discount the reQuisition for him and until the Supreme Court rem ders a decision Chestnut will likely not be taken to Georgia. He was arrested in 1900.
 If will be remembered that Chestnut was arrested in Montgomery several months ago on information from Att Danta, but he successIuiiy resisted the effort to take him back to Geor- gia.

The case in which arguments will consume this morning is that of M. B. Houghton, ct al, of the old Board. vs. A. P. Tyson. ct al. contestants.
 This case was appealed from the de- cision of Judge A. D. Sayfe of the Montgomery City Court, who held that the old Board Is entitled to hold over in office by virtue of former local act of the Legislature making the Board members appointive.
