Murray, at this place, on last Tuesday
morning, and agreed upon the details of the
work. A subcommittee has since been
drafting the document, and it is now about

as the Legislature cannots consistently re-
fuse to give any section of the State tho

charter is obtained permanent organiza.

Thanksgiving day was very generally OBJ
served throughout the entire country and
very interesting services were had in many
places. Anderson kept company with other
places il returning thanke to the "great
Giver of all good" for the bounteous bless
ings vouchsafed to us during the year,
which is now rapidly closing its cycle. The
mass meeting of several congregations in
the Presbyterian Church enjoyed the al
dresses from Revs. = E. Fricrson and w.
II. Strickland very much, and were given
some very wholesome home-truths by Mr..
Frierson, who, in closing the addresses Of
the day, admonished his hearers that true
thankfnlnees tn God prohibited the exees-
sive use Of the blessings showered upon us,
and in this connection spoke Of the table
extravaganza INDUCED to SO great an extent
by many of the Christians OF our time. Ho
also deprecated the extremes of dress and
fashion, which absorb % much OF precious
time and valuable tr Dc ght for the simple
purpose of display. 4 losing, he admon-
ished his hearers to at at in from the sin of
excess in all things, anu urged them to tes-
tify before the world their appreciation of
Gods mercies, and their thankfulness for
them by consecrating themselves anew to
his service. Interesting services were also
hold in other churches in the County.
