but there are some very Important things to he considered in connection with holding of Hie crop. For instance, wleuo anti bow are you holding lt? A gentleman has called our attention to Hie fact that every yea'" some cotton is bold, but no caro given to tho matter of protection. Only a day or two UKO he had noted some cotton piled up carelessly, the bales lying lint on the wot ground. That is gross carelessness, anti If i-nt ton is allowed to stand in such manner for any considerable time the resulting damage will bo heavy. Our informant, a man who knows a lot about colton, stated that it would be possible to lose, by mage through such carelessness, all that the furmer nilghl gain in advanced price.

Hold your colton, hut at the same Jillie lake care ot it. Keep it e'oan and off the wei ground. lt is folly io holli eat ton and ht it decrease in value by reason of careless ness. Thursday ol' Hus week, November should appeal to all thoughtful people as a day, thc significance of which ls peculiarly lilting lo this gnat, section.

Year by year our fields respond to our efforts with abundant harvests; day by day our labors are rewarded with a competency sufficient to meei needs; hour by hour our wants ire provided for. Yet are wo thankful always? Do wo appreciate the blessings that como lo us every ll Ml l.ot ii try to real moro fully tho littleness of humanity and tho greatness of thc One whoso creatures we ere. we will but si ody even casually the hundreds of evidences all around us of God's greatness and Mis goodness lo us we will lind a thousand Illings for whick wo should be profoundly bank ui.

Let tho people of Oconco lissom hie themselves tonet ber Thursday of ibis week, according lo our beautiful national custom and remier thanks to God for Ills blessings those thal re ours to-day. those that have followed os daj by day tip lo tho present, those thal en mo lo our forefathers, ivho laid the foundation for a great whose people will ever delight in the sentlnionl, so beautifully pressed "My country, 'tis of thee, eel land of I i Bert "Our lal hers' Cod, to Thee, A ul hoi' of li bert To wc sill Let ii he I hank ful, and Iel us gi If wo will but "count our blessings," tho very of Thanksgiving will boco ino part and parcel our livls. and Thanksgiving Day Mil) bring lo ns joy and peace, low God and to our follow men.
