of our own blessings the less forum
ate of our people, so that every
heart may rejoice in this festival of
the harvest time.
We live in the enlightenment of
the highest Christian civilization,
with the church bells of a thous-
and spires calling us to worship
God, eacn according to the dictates
of his own conscience. We are at
peace with all the world and no
strife disturbs the tranquility of
our state. No famine brings hun
ger and starvation; no shock OF
earthquake lays waste; no floods
dcsolate; no pestilence scourges.
Boantiful Providence has filled our
barns and plenty has shOwered her
blessings everywhere.
What more could people ask
than has been vouchsafed to Geor-
gia? Can we not, then, with the
deepest gratitude to the Giver of
all good things, lift our hearts with
thankfulness and ask Him, 'lest
we forget" to guard us against
pride, vainglory, selfshness and
ingratitude?
Following the custom of my hon
ored predecessors, /, Hokc Smith,
governor of Georgia, do set apart
and proclaim Thursday, the 29th
day of the present month Of No
vember, a day for general thanks
giving and prayer, and | recon-
mend that on that day the people,
as far as they can do so, shall cease
from all their daily labOrs and in
their homes and in their houses o.
worship, shall ponder upon the
many blessings which they have
received, give thanks to God and

is about one and quarter million

Last years crop was not a large

year the price ought to be about
II cents, but with crop evidently
short more than million bales, a
fair price would be Is cents and

BOWLING
THE CASINO
 BEING REFITTED
Shop League the Latest to Make Arrangements For Games on
 Those Alleys. *

The Casino management is still hustling to be in good shape for the fall and winter campaign of bowling, which is going to boom the coming season. Two alleys are being plan ned and refitted in every way for the big state tournament games and 1t will be hard to find better accommo- dations in any sporting house in the state. There will be many leagues, which will pull off their contests on the Casino alleys and the greatest in- terest is being manifested.
 During the week beginning Monday, September 16, the factory bowling teams will have a chance to roll at the Casino alleys for special prize of $10. Each team to consist of five men, no entrance fee charged, but all games must be scored and refereed by the management.
 Entries close at the alleys on Sat urday, September IA, and any team will be allowed two trials during the week.
 As many teams will participate an early entry is wise that you may se- cure the desired night.
