And this bank is thankful, too, for the confidence,
friendship and co-operation of the men and women
of this community. May the good things that the
year has brought to each and every one fill us with a
new determination to work and to strive with a
freshness of spirit and hearts filled with the desire to
serve for the good of our people, our town and our
community.
We are coming to the close of a year filled with
many blessings. Have we not just cause for grate-
fulness? When the Beneficient Author of All Good
has seen fit to shower upon our nation such blessings
as this year has brought, the season takes a new
meaning—sweeter, fuller than ever before—filling us
with a glow of gratitude such as no other Thanks-
givings have ever done.
History tells us that the Pilgrim Fathers in the
new world—grateful for a golden harvest—gathered
together for a feast of rejoicing.

We are thankful for twelve months of peace and
contentment; for a harvest unsurpassed in our coun-
try; for the triumphant return of our gallant army,
and for the brain and brawn and sinew of American
I . manhood dedicated to the work of Reconstruction.
And year by year this all-American custom of
giving thanks has grown into the hearts and minds
of our people. No other holiday in any season is so
typically American as our own Thanksgiving Day. Of
all the world’s festive occasions this day alone is
consecrated purely to our nation—to the firesides of
America.
This phrase aptly expresses the
relationship existing between
its depositors, and The Planters
National. The old depositors
fully understand, and the new
depositors soon learn its mean-
ing.
In the observance of Thanks-
giving Day, it is our desire to give
thanks, among other things, for the
loyalty of our customers, for their
continued patronage and for their
apparant satisfaction with our ser-
vice. We shall strive to continue
to merit their friendship throughout
the years to come.

Something over 2500 bales of
cotton have been ginned at the
Whitewright gins to date. On
account of the unstable market
incident to the bad condition of
cotton and the wide range of
grades, some of the eins are not
buying cotton, and much of the
staple is being held by the farm',
ers. Some of the cotton barely
grades ordinary, while some of
the best reaches strict low mid-
ling.

A very pleasant social' get-ac-
quainted meeting of the teachers
and trustees of our public school
was held at the school building
Tuesday evening from seven to
nine-thirty o’clock. The guests
were served with a dainty plate
of sandwiches, salmon croquets,
and fruit salad and a cup of hot
chocolate, by a bevy of young
high school girls who are pu-
pils of Miss Kate Thomas in the
domestic arts department.
Superintendent Durham made
a few remarks on the work of
the school and attempted to draw
1 the teachers into an informal
talkfest. The trustees and their
wives were shown the wrnrk
rooms and some of the finished
products of the domestic arts
department, and all expressed
their appreciation of the equip-
ment and work being done in this
department, which was added at
the beginning of the present
term.
It is generally conceded that
our school is “going good”, with
no dissentions within and no
criticism from without. There
is also a growing conviction that
the present high standard of our
school cannot be maintained in
the face of advancing costs of
everything unless more money
‘is provided for its maintenance.
The people of Whitewright had
as well face the fact, and begin
to devise plans to finance the
urgent needs of a growing insti-
tution, or else be content to let
the school back into its old chan-
nel of inadequate instruction.
The public school is the com-
munity’s chief asset, and if there
is any institution that ought to
be supported to its full require-
ments, it is the place where the
boys and girls receive their edu-
cation and preparation for the
duties of citizenship.
The members of the women’s
aid societies of the several
churchds of the city held a very
profitable joint meeting at the
Presbyterian church Monday
afternoon. The object of the
meeting apparently was to draw
the church workers into closer
relation and co-operation in a
common cause, and the meeting
was productive of much good in
this direction. A splendid musi-
cal program was rendered, sever-
al good talks made, and a spirit
of tolerance and mutual under-
standing prevailed. The get-to-
gethermeeting Df representatives
of the several denomination was
a forcible reminder of the axion
“in unity there is strength.”
Those in attendance were also
doubtless impressed with the
possibilities of a genuine song-
fest, should the singers of the
several church choirs combine
their voices in occasional joint
renditions, for the edification,
and pleasure of those who ap-
preciate and enjoy good sing-
ing. __________________

sentative of the Southwestern

ed that the present location of the
exchange is unsatisfactory for
the reason that there are no ac-
commodations and for the reason
that the owner of building de-
clines to renew the lease.
