WHY We Love the Turkey

Some sing of the eagle-glorious Bird
Emblem of freedom and pride;
And some for the peace dove have a good word
Though some think this poor bird has died.
Some even sing praises unto the hen
Don't chide them for this, l beg,
Nor argue this question over again,
Which one first the chick or the egg?''
Some sing of the peacock, prOudest of proud
THAT fashion stuff goes in New York;
Some favor the quail that has toast for shroud,
And few put up with the stork!
But here's to the turkey best of all birds
Pride of our THANKSGIVING Day
We cannot do justice merely in words
To eat hims far better way.
All. sing of the turkey. he is the stuff
Oh. let the loud timbrels clash.
We love the dear bird cause he's good enough
To cook up next day into hash!

Of the state is again suggested by the recent ship
ment from Albany of a car load of high grade
paper shells which expected to bring over $15.-
600 at retail Although this industry is compare
lively recent here it has been highly successful.
The nut is highly nutritious and unequaled in flavor
by any of the imported nuts. very fine variety
is now to be found in the local markets at three
pounds for 81, with practically no waste to the
pound, and the extra large thin-shelled nuts from
Bryan county and elsewhere sometimes bring 60
cents pound. These Georgia grown papersheIls
have put the od-time imported pecans which are
very small and difficult to shell, almost out of the
market, although they still form a part of what
are known mixed nuts

KISSES FOR CHARITY.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Nearly all the youth of the neighborhood attend
ed the charity bazaar and one by they drifted
to a stall where a tiny, shapely, scented gray kid
glove reposed a satin cushion. Attached to
the cushion a notice written in a delicate

The owner of this glove will, at 7:3O this even

I'm ready for you. Come on, Don't be bash
