The full program has not yet been
perfected, but enough has been done
to insure the grandest occasion for
the singers of Georgia and adjoining

for the upbuilding of popular sacred
music throughout the entire south
ern states, render, as only such
chorus can render, q great many
OF the best of the old time songs, as
well as a number Of the later cnes,
and then intersperse the great cho-
rus singing by special selections to-
be sung by the singers from each
separate county, having as many as
fifty or more singers present.
A full program of this great day
will be issued a little later, but in
the meantime you should begin
making your plans to see the great

Reform School a puzzle.

reformatory, which is to be erected
at the state prison farm at Milledge-
Vile. In the opinion Of the commits
sion a building which will accommo-
date 125 inmates as provided in the
bill will be hard to erect for the
sum of 100000, which is appropriated
for the purpose.
They are at loss now whether TO
peoceed with a building which will
not hold 125 inmates and make it
building that will last or whether
they shall go ahead and erect a
cheap affair, which will hold 125
people, but which will be in need of
repair in q year or two.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

L
To all who may read these lines The
PILOT sends greeting. Let everybody
try to be in the right mood or spirits to
realize and appreciate the true slgnlfi'
canoe Of that national holiday which,
weeks in advance, annually calls forth
proclamation from the nation \ chief eX'
ecutive and from the executive head of
each one of the forty five states in the
Union. These proclamations exert
wholesome influence. The presidents
proclamation il sermon that IL preach
ed to an audience Of eighty million and
more. The governors Thanksgiving
proclamation Is a sermon preached 10
over two million people. 1t would be
easy for any one, on takinga moment
thought, to cite at least half "A dozen
reasons why the proclamations referred
to are, and Of right ought to be, exerting
the good influence they do exert the
country over. But we will refrain from
touching upon those matters.

First to gain glorious liberty
BY each home lovers sword,
Let others pay for martial deed,
Our citizens support orr need,
To simple men we give the need,
On this Thanksgiving day.
First among nations, land and sea
Pay tribute to our might
The tireless wheels of industry
Cease neither day nor night
So have we treasured up our gold,
So we the reins of commerce hold,
From every hearth let thanks be trolled
On this Thanksgiving day.
First among peoples, while we stand
Simple and true to right,
Last among peoples, if orr land
Falls under Mammon's blight,
For all the fruits of honesty,
For all the joys Of liberty,
For individuals majesty,
