his place at the door will be taken Dy
Charles Pusey who has been an usher
urder Mr.. Stone. The two doorkepers OF
President Taft's Office will therefore be

Buffers on Duty.
An important change is that policemen
will be taken away from the north door
of the White House and negro footmen
or butlers placed there. The intention Of
Mrs. Taft is that the north door shall be-
come strictly a private door and that
those who enter shall be friends OF the
family. the same as at private resi-
dence. For years two policemen nave
been stationed at the north door ana
have handled the cards and attended 10
the other business there. They have been
men detailed from the city police force.
It is understood they will be kept inside
the White House for duty there. Inc TWO

ident and Mrs. Taft at their homes III

Another innovation is that the steward

The high school and grammar
departments nave been studying
under difficulties for the past
week, as the furnace could not
supply sufficient heat for the
rooms occupied by these depart
ments and it was necessary to
share the room of the lower

The extreme cold weather

John F. Hanson.

Major John F. Hanson, president
of the Central of Georgia railroad,
was born in Monroe county, Georgia,
November 25, 1910, and received his
only scholastic training in the old
field schools of Georgia. He served
as a private in the Confederate army
ana when the war was over embarked
with several associates in the manu-
facture of cotton yarn. The company
prospered until in the course of time
it operated seven mills with 10000
spindles. In 1895 Mr.. Hanson be-
came a director of the Central of
Georgia railroad and in 1900 he was
made chairman of the board of direc-
tors. When the craftsmanship of the
board was abolished in 1902 he was
elected to the presidency of the COM
pany. He is also interested financial

Mass. was reduced to the very
point of starvation, and when a ves-
sci with supplies arrived from Eng
land a day of public thanksgiving and
rejoicing was ordered by the COVER
nor. This is considered to have been
the first thanksgiving day held in
America. During the following year
frequent days of thanksgiving were
appointed in the New England col
onies, sometimes twice in one year
and for special reasons-a victory
over the Indians, the arrival Of ship
with colonists or provisions, or some
other happy event. Later the day
came to be set apart in the autumn
or the early winter to give thanks for
the abundant harvests and general
prosperous condition of the colony.
Thanksgiving day was a national
institution during the Revolutionary
war, and was annually recommended
by congress; but after general
thanksgiving for peace in 1884, there
was no national appointment till
1889, when President Washington, by
request of congress, recommended
THANKSGIVING for the adoption of
the Constitution. In 1915 day of
thanksgiving for the restoration Of
peace was recommended by President
Madison.
During the early part of the CEN
fury Thanksgiving remained an in
stitution peculiar to New England,
but was not always held either on the
same day or in the same month, each
state appointing its own day. Procla-
nations recommending special days
of Thanksgiving for victories during
the Civil war were issued by Presi-
dent Lincoln in 1852 and 1863, and
in 1864 he appointed the national
proclamation. Since that time it has
been customary to celebrate Thanks
giving day throughout the United
States on the last Thursday of No
