A flrorlamatum
We approach the season when, according to custom dating from
the garnering of the first harvest by our forefathers in the New
f.) "? * ? /
World, a day is set apart to give thanks even amid hardships to
Almighty God for our temporal and ipiritoal blessings. It has
become a ha1 lowed tradition for the Chief Magistrate to proclaim
annually a national day of thanksgiving.
Our country has cause for gratitude to the Almighty. We have
been widely blessed with abundant harvests. We hsve been spared
from pestilence and calamities. Our institutions have served the
people. Knowledge has multiplied and our lives are enriched with
its application. Education has advanced, the health of our people
has increased. We have dwelt in peace with all men. The measun
of passing adversity which haa come upon us should deepen the
spiritual life of the people, quicken their sympathies and spirit
of sacrificc for others, and strengthen their courage Many of our
neighbors are in need from causes beyond their control and the
compassion of the people throughout the nation should so assure
their security over this winter that they too may have full cause
to participate in this day of gratitude to the Almighty.
Now, therefore, I, Herbert Hoover, Presider.t of the United States
of America, do hereby designate Thursday, November 26, 1931, as a
National Day of Thanksgiving, and do recommend that our people
rest from their daily labors and in their homes and accustomed
places of worship give devout thanks for. the blessings which a
merciful Father has bestowed upon us.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused
the seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington this 3rd day of November, in
the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and thirty-one, md of ttoe
Independence of the United States of America the one hundred
and fifty-sixth.

..(By Frank Porker Stockbridge)
Happytend
If I were asked to name the spot
in the United States where the gen
eral .industrial and business depres
sion has been felt least, J would
say, at a guess, that it is Leonard
town, Marryland. There may be, and
probabfy are olEer communities ??
happily situated bnt I don't know
their nanies.
A young man who has been work
ing in New York, and consequently
has his head full of nothing but hard
times talk, visited his old home in
i Leonardtown recently. He asked
i folks there how severely the depres
sion had hit them and the unanimous
response was "what depression ?'
They had not heard about it in
Leonardtown.
When 1 knew Leonardtown as a
boy, there wasn't any nu'roml, ?nd
there isn't now. But there were a
"ot of v contented farmers, miisiug
watermelons alid oysters and tobacco.
Everybody had enough to eat and
to wear, and most had a surplus lie
sides, and my young friend tell:; me
that that is exactly the situation of
Leonardtown today.
These Maryland country people
never bothered about industries, never
tried to make their county seat a sec
ond Baltimore or Philadelphia, never
got, the idea that money brings hap
piness. I think they are pretty
sensible people.
Game
In a good many parts of the country
the effort to restock fields and for
ests with game 'TRrds and animals
in order to provide sport for TroriteA
is meeting with considerable success.
It has bcei> going on for a long time.
I saw the other day a letter written
hi lS20, from a toWn in Vermont^
saying that red foxes were beginning
to be seen in that territory. All the
a CiStW. that ^re'broijght trom' Eng
land late in the 1700's and turned
loose on tang Island to ' furnish
sport for huntsmen. Today the red
fox outnumbers the native American
gray fox in most of the Atlantic
Coaj& states. .
Sentimental people look ~upon
hunting as a cruel form of sport.
Their imaginations endow animals
with the same emotional and reason
ing qualities as Euman beings. Those
who konw most about wild life say
that animals have- no fear of death
bccanse they are unable to imagine
it, that they run when pursued puW
ly from instinct.
Relief
The most amazing results of the
nation-widf effort to take care of
the unemployed is not the disclosure
of large numbers of people who
would rather beg than work, although
that: is surprising enough, but the
revelation of human greed furnished
by the spectacle of folks who are
very far fiom being povery stricken,
but who unblushingly call upon rer
lief agencies for money.
I .saw a p&argraph the other day
in the Wayne (?&b.) Herald saying
that the county commissioners had
adopted a resolution that no county
aid should be given to paupers who
own automobiles or radios, smoke
cigars or loaf in poolrooms. In New
York City it has been d sclosed that
hundreds of men holding steady jobs
have been drawing regular incomes
in addition from the unemployment
relief funds, through the connivance
of politicians.
tfe have got to change a good
many of our assumptions as a re
sult of the unemployment investi
gations. One of those assumptions is J
that everybody would leather earn|
money than take charity. And an
other apparently false assumption is
the old belief that graft is confined
| to politicians.
Communism
Beyond doubt one of the powerful
reasons behind the reluctance of eap^
ital to embark in new enterprises or
furnish additional money for estab
lished industries in the past two
years had been the fear ojf Com
munism.
I am convinced that the over
whelming overthrow of "the Lall?r
Party in England, and the recent
revelations from' Russia of the fail
on'of the Soviet jyftjgfanTat ^a doz
en different points, have had more to
do with restoring confidence among
capitalists and" industfckT kadert

Macon Youth

Willard I)e?n, abut 19, son ol (ias
ton Dean, of Etna, a settlement !<?
miles northwest of Franklin, lies in
Angels' hospital in Franklin with a
32 inch knife wound in tlje siuall of
his back and lower bowel*, his chains
of recovery small, while Bovd M?
(?aha, about J8, who is said to have
inflicted the wound during a quarrel
with Dean at a dance Thursday night,
is still at large, with officers ha\iii?

Boyd McGaha is a son of Churlit
MeGaha, and his reputation was con
sidered good, according to Macon ?>1
licers, as Avas also the reputation of
Dean. During the quarrel which oc
curred outside a vacant house near
Etna, where a dance was being held,
AIcGaha stabbed Dean in the l?fr ki?l
ney with 'i jxieket knife, severing the
kidney. The wound circled the youth's
body to the center of the lower bow
ewfs, partly disembowelfng him, and
also puncturing the lower lobe of the
left lung.
The cutting occurred about ten o'
clock Thursday night, and was wit
nessed by lour or five other youth*.
McGaha immediately fled, and ha.-.
not been apprehended by officers who
searched the vicinity next morning.
Dean was rushed to the hospital
where he received attention, but
where little hope is held for his re
