Coon ADyICI.-We advise the citi-
zens of Davenport, one and all-old and
young-to attend divine service to-day. at
such churches as they may see fit, and in
consideration Of the many blessings of which
we have been the recipients during the past
wear, we recommend that all bestow their
mite for the benefit of the respective
churches at which they commune.
To our mind, there is no more proper
way Of spending portion Of the day, and
no more proper occasion upon which to be
liberal to the churches 1t is due to tn :
cause of religion, morality and benevolence'
and we sincerely trust that all who have
the wherewith to thus acknowledge theis
sense of gratitude to the Great giver, will
do 90 with liberal hand. There are those
among US who have not the means to pro.
vide any Of the luxuries of life us ,ally en-
ioyed on days of annual Thanksgiving. Ev.
erv person who has an abundance Of the
fruits Of the soil, bestow upon their less for
tunate neighbors, such small favors in the
shape of baskets Of provisions ss viii enable
them to enjoy good thanksgiving meal
It is such small acts Of benevolence as that
renders society sociable and happy. Inas-
much as you have done it unto the least oi
one of these, my brethren, ye have done il
unto me"
