We ave much to be thankful for.
We are living in the best city, in the best county,
of the best state of our glorious nation. M tst of us
are enjoying good health. The health report shows no
contagion in the county. The banks show gains in
savings. The government has made another payment
on our liberty loan bonds and the sun shines most of
the time. What more could we ask.
We sometimes allow ourselves to become morose
and melencholy over our prospects but after we worry
until we have added a few more grey hairs to our crop
and lost a lot of sleep we usually find sometime to re-
pep us up and the sun shine then looks brighter and
the grass greener and the air purer than before but af­
ter all it is our own mind which has caused our de­
pression. No matter how illy we feel treated. No
matter how tough life seems to us all we have to do is
look about us and wfe find many loss fortunate than
ourselves. We should feel thankful of that at least.
•
Usually, this life is just what we make of it.
When we get up in the morning feeling fresh and hap­
py anti we are full of pep and Vigor every thing seems
to go along fine. When we are grouchy everything
seems to agravate our grouch.
I he main reason why we celebrate Thanksgiving
is not so much because we arc any more thankful at
this time of the year than at any other but in com­
memoration of the hardihood and pioneer spirit of our
forefathers in conquering the hardships of colonial
days this day has been set aside.
It is to pay tribute to them that we celebrate this
day. The custom started, we are told, way back in the
17th century by the settlers and \yas a sort of harvest
festival. They being very religious took the occasion
for publicly thanking God foF the favors which he
had visited upon them and rounded out the day’s pro­
gram by a sumptuous banquet composed of home
grovdn meats and vegetable. Thus the Turkey, a gen­
uine native of America, has come to be known as the
Thanksgiving bird.
We have not been so harshly treated, after all, so
let us, in the true spirit of the occasion Give Thanks
and make the day a real day of Thanksgiving..

Gold Hill has once more a Parent-
Teachers Association.
For number of year* there ha*
been an association here, we under­
stand but of late years there ha*
been an apparent slump in enthus­
iasm. This laxity of interest has
created a greater desire for such an
organization and ever since the op­
ening of the school this year there
has been agitation for the reorgan­
ization of the association.
Last Thursday evening the desire
for such an organization was cli­
maxed when the parents and teach­
ers met at the auditorium of <he high
school building anil there organized.
Mrs. Louis Dodge, Vice President
of the state P. T. A. was in attend­
ance and made a few remarks out­
lining the need for the organiza­
tion and the course of proceedure
to follow in completing same. Mrs.
Suzan Holmes Carter county super-
intedent of the schools was also pre­
sent ami addressed the meeting set­
ting forth the aspects and needs for
the P. T. A.
Miss Munieur, rendered two very
beautiful piano selections and then
followed the temporary organiza­
tion.
Prof. Chas G. Bluett acting as
temporary chairman and Mis* Mell-
inger as temporary secretary pro­
ceeded to call the meeting to order
and announce the purpose to elect
the permanent officers of the local
P. T. A. with the result that the fol­
lowing will govern the association
for the present term:
Mrs. A. E. Kellogg, President.
Miss Nora Jacobs, V. Pres.
Mrs. Walter Zimmerman, Sect.
Mrs. Sargent, Misses Harper, Rose
Gay, and Nellie Jacobs were placed
upon a committee to arrange pro­
grams for the meetings.
There will be two meeting of the
body, one on Wednesday afternoos
Dec. 1, at which time the County
Unit system will be discussed. The
Wednesday afternoon meeting will
be given up almost entirely to the
discussion of the topics of schools
affairs. On the second Monday of
the Month will be the regular meet­
ings and they will be held in the
evening at the High school auditor­
ium. At these meetings there will
be speakers supplied from over the
state who are capable and well
worth hearing. A musical program
of some nature will also be a part
of the evening meeting.

SPLENDID SERVICES
AT METHODIST CHURCH
Last Sunday, at the Methodist
church, Mrs. Josephine Patterson fil­
led the pulpit.
Since Gold Hill has no longer a
resident minister we are fortunate
to have the services of Mrs. Patter­
son. Mr. Patterson was also pres­
ent and as both are quite accom­
plished volcalists the church session
Sunday morning was a delightful
entertainment for all who took ad­
vantage of the opportunity to at­
tend. Mrs. Patterson added five
converts to the local church.
