Thanksgiving Day.

To-day the people of the United States
will meet in their respective places of
worship to render thanks to Almighty
God for his manifold blessings bestow-
ed upon us as nation and individuals.
We have much to give thanks for both
as nation and individuals. Let those
who wait upon this day, think of the
joys that are theirs in comparison with
the sorrows that might be. Let wor-
ship be born of thanksgiving. But let
no one think that one day of thanksgiv-
ing, in which all of thankfulness is con-
centrated. is at all worthy of men and
Christians. Let us give thanks daily
We trust that all our readers will OBJ
serve this day in the true spirit. In
many portions of our country the scat
tered members of the family are all
gathered together on that day, and
mingle and comingle their devotion and
thanksgiving. The custom is beauti-
full one, and conductive of much pleas
urc.

A Reply.

Hon. james d. Estill, Editor Holmes Co.
Farmer,
SIR: After reading your
editorial with reference to myself, and
noting your illusions to the old proverb
about fools, &C., was in doubt as to
whether or not / should answer. Why
your fertile Imagination became i'm
pressed with the strange hallucination
that was the author of the communi
cation in the REPUBLICAN is mystery
to me, for l heard several prominent
Democrats who are acquainted with the
facts, express the same opinion as that
contained in the article to which you
refer, and they furthermore regarded
your explanation as being very thin.
James, L see you hate towards. Brave
men like you always do. know that
there has been no discount on your
bravery since 1863, when you took up
that dangerous position in the unfinish-
ed eistern to await those "cowardly"
fellows who had threatened to come
here and demolish your press. Nor
could you be induced to leave your
dangerous situation until you was con-
WINGED beyond a doubt that the rumor
was false. Such heroism is worthy of
imitation { y and should put to shame
all those who hide behind assumed
names.
1 will try and mind my business as
you suggest, but l must confess that l
don't believe can make it pay as we'll
as you do, for you see there is no Pro-
bate office in my case. Now, as to your
BUSINESS "reputation" that is beyond
and have not the least doubt
that in after years it will be pointed to
as the crowning jewel of your many
virtues. should like to take half in
terest in that character. DevotedIy
yours, my eloquent old statesman,
B. HERZER.

Encourage Them.

The present depressed condition of
business generally, operates more Sc
verely upon the mechanics and labor
ing men than any other class Of our
citizens. Every business man and ev-
cry property holder in Millersburg is
deeply interested in having our me-
chanics remain here. They are of more
direct benefit to the town than almost
the same number of any other occupa-
ton. They are good, sober and indus
trious citizens, and the people will not
fully appreciate their advantage to the
town and county, until want of employ
ment or some other cause would COM
pei them to leave. Should work be-
come scarce give them an encouraging
word for the future. By all means keep
them with US.

Where to 60.

The Holidays will soon be here and
presents will make many hearts glad
and thankful. And as the good peo-
pie who contemplate making the pres
ents are beginning to consider what Sc
lection to make, it occurs to us that the
best thing for our business men to do is
to advertise through our columns and
let the people know what they have
got and where to 60 to make their pur-
chases.

Big SQUIRREL Hunt.

Quite squirrel hunt took place Sat-
urday, Nov. 10th, four miles west Of
town. There was to have been q match
hunt between what is known as the
Ridge Boys and Bottom Boys. 1t seems
that the Bottom Boys hadn't sand
enough in their gizzard and backed
down. Part Of their best men came
over to the Ridge side. oit was agreed
upon that each side. should hunt sepa-
rate, and have separate suppers.
On coming together at night the
Ridge side had sixty-five count, and the
Bottom side. after shaking their game
bags and counting some that had been
killed the day before, revealed the fact
that they had one ground squirrel, three
tom-tits and a jay bird. Now the fact
was plain enough that they hadn't game
enough to have a game supper. A
messenger was Immediately dispatched
to town for two half cans of oysters,
and pound and half of crackers,
and concluded to call it jay-bird cys-
ter supper. ~
The captain of the Ridge Boys says
that if the Bottom boys want game
supper, if they will send in a requisi-
tion to him, abe will detail one of his
men some morning before breakfast and
bring in game enough for them to have
a right good supper.
Hereafter they will be designated as
the @Jay Bird Rangers"
My advice to them would be for them
to move to the head waters of Big Run,
for | have been told by good authority
that the ground squire, and jay bird
abound in large numbers. In all prob
ability they can get some old vacan:
house to cook their game in.
Yours,
EVERY HUNT.
