Ours to love and ours to cherish In dear memory, beyond sight, Fbr our kindred and acquaintance In Thy heaven who safely stay. We uplift our psalms of ^umph, Lord, on this Tfcanksgivi]^ .day. The way we can all best keep the day is to Ughten^ the burden for some one, bid Mine homesick toul to our feast of plenty or gladden some shut- in with an unexpected treat. With this in mind, »why not have a “sur prise shower for the poor? This may be arranged for a settlement or for a committee of a church or club to dis- trlbut« as they-^ best. Invite ev ery one to come aild have a cup of tea the day before Thanksgiving and bring with them a securely wrapped and tied bag of eomething; apples, rice, •ugar, nuts, oranges, etc. THen if sev eral kind friends will volunteer their aQtomobil«a for delivering these offer ing* I am sure they will enjoy- their feast day more than if they had not entered into this scheme.

The doors are usually,-shut, and it takes either a, key or acquaintance ship with the porter to get past. People go in and out of them con tinually throughout th^ day, but very few people remain in these clubs for more than a few minutes at a time, hien they come out, nearly always they are wiping their lips. These are not blind tigers. They are duly listed among the 22 lt>cker clubs which are now licensed in the city of Atlanta. Advocates of a strict- ed prohibition law declare that these clubs are no better’ than blind tigers, but their members declare^ that they are just as much within the law as any of the more distinguished social organ izations where liquor is served: Thus far this hasn’t Jieen contraverted in court. • ’ The fact Is that there are now ex isting in Atlanta clubs wliere liquor may be obtained, to suit the pocket- books and\social standings- of all classes of citizens. The humble work ing man now has his club : as well as- the banker or successful lawyer his. Speaking in generalities,' -the only, class of Atlanta people wbich hasn’t its locker club is the negroes. They have to content themselves .with the near-beer saloons, and with the blind tigers, of which it is admitted there are still many. As to the theory that Atlanta is a prohibition town, there is no man of or dinary intelligence with twenty'five cents, no matter what his race,, color or previous condition of servitude, who cannot locate a drink'of whiskey within a half hoiur after he gets, on the trai nat Georgia’s capitol.
