Thanksgiving
Thoughts

There are those whose thanks vii be
for money,
And some will only think Of wealth;
Some will grateful be for life that's
sunny,
And some will render thanks for
health
Some will gratitude express for power,
And most will think of selfish ends,
But who in this most solemn, sacred
hour
Win think to thank his God for
friends?
There are those whose thanks will be
for living
Among the noble, good and great;
And some there are whose thought
will be Of giving
Thanks for nations peaceful state;
And there are some whose intellect is
greater,
To send their thanks for that above,
But who will recognize in his Creator
The source Of all his power to love?
There are those whose thanks viii be
for pleasure
fAnu AoI liSii lESeuulH lIOln All lliSS
And some will think Of harvests of
full measure,
And some the beauty Of the hills;
Thanks for wisdom, virtue some will
tender,
And for the family ties that bind,
Bit who to God will thanks sincerest
render
For chance to serve mankind

Ottilie Schillig the new American
soprano, whose splendid singing III
New York has caused such a aensa-
tion in the metropolis this season is
to make her first appearance in Port
Gibson, her home town, on the 10th
of December under the auspices Of
the Woman's Club
According to New York critics, it
has been long since Metropolitan Con-
cert goers have had the pleasure Of
listening to voice SO beautiful and
SO highly trained as is possessed by
this young woman who halls from
Port Gibson.
It can truthfully be said that Miss
Schillig made two New York debuts.
The first one took place last wear n
Carnegie Hall when she was asked to
assist Alesandro Dolci, then leading
tenor of the Chicago Opera Assoeia7
ton, who was giving q beneft con-
cert for the rebuilding of the Italian
churches destroyed by the Austr sa
invasion. Being called uDon pract.-
cally at the last moment there was
not time to have her name rrinted on
the program. To the vast audience
she was an entire stranger. But she
did not remain a stranger long, for
at the end of her first grou~ Of songs,
the vast audience broke forth in such
storm of a-nlause that she was
forced to sing several encores. 1t was
true musical audience that filed
Carnegie Hall that night and it did
not hesitate to proclaim great
Young singer, even if unknown IN
name. This unheralded debut proved
one of the musical treats of the entire
New York season and created such
comment in musical circles, that the
members of the Wolfsohn Bureau had
| her sing for them. 1t resulted in their
running her New York recital last
spring which proved the event Of the
whole year among the new eomers
But ali this paled before the recep-
tion given her on her appearance IN
New York on October 18th Of this
year. The ovation accorded her
Stamped her as one Of the. great lead.
ers in the world Of song. And thai
\ IN the midst Of her triumph she shoule
elect to come back and sing for tbs
! folks at home, is a source Of the great
est qualification to the people Of PORT
Gibson.
Tickets for the concert on Decem

RAILROAD COMMISSIONER
WANTS INFORMATION

To The People of Mississippi:
have had many inquiries about the
petition which the Cumberland Tele-
phone Company has filed with the
Railroad Commission for authority to
increase their rates. On account of
the fact that so many of my constitu-
ents are interested make public this
statement.
A petition was filed by the Cumber-
land some time ago asking for au-
thority to increase their rates. The
petition did not set forth just what
increase the company wanted, but the
petition was set for hearing Thurs
day, November fourth. And when the
matter came up for hearing the COM
pany filed a proposed new tariff Of
charges for Mississippi, asking an in
crease of twenty to twenty-five per
cent on most all home and office
phones In Mississippi. There was a
meeting of citizens from various parts
Of the state in jackson on November
third to consider this matter. The
convention Of citizens was composed
Of representatives from various cham
bers Of commerce and organizations
over the state. This citizens, conven-
ton appointed a committee to pre-
sent set of resolutions asking that
the case be continued until the whole
telephone business could be investi-
gated in Mississippi, and asked that
expert accountants and special coun-
sci be employed to assist the Commits
sion in a full investigation. This sci
Of resolutions, together with a written
protest, was filed with the Commits
sion but the resolutions asking for q
continuance were overruled, major
ity of the Commission believing that
the Cumberland Telephone Company
should be permitted at that time

officials and Witnesses present anc

that a customer came in and he for
got the money for several hours later.
When he went for It the sack and its
contents had disappeared. Sheriff

offering a reward. One man was ar
rested and jailed on suspicion but
later was released.
