THANKSGIVING DAY.
PEAL tomorrow

ing Day grows with the perpetuity thereof.
The wider and deeper the tradition, the fonder
the memories and brighter the anticipation.
There was the spirit of Thanksgiving in the
heart of old Samuel Salt 1--WE believe it was
SamueD when, one day meeting his daughter
Sally on the street after she had ran away
with her forbidden sweetheart and got mar
RED "Sally, girl" said he, "come home!"
adding as he had turned away, apparently
to leave her with the words of a stern paren-
tai command paining her ear-"Be sure and
bring your husband with you No doubt old
Sam and Sally and her husband and Sally's
mother and sisters sat down to as heartfelt a
meal as if the old English day had been
Thanksgiving; for it is the good of the day we
celebrate to bring together from afar across
the broken bridges of impaired and wounded
friendships and weakened family ties those
whose lives have been bound up in our own.
Folks are better for this humanizng. The
heartiness of the greeting and of the en- Joy
ment overrides and rebukes and laughs out of
countenance all cynical criticism leveed at
the Puritans, and helps arrest if not to cure
The fathless GOODNESS of the times.
It is good thing for whole people thus
20 be reminded of the goodness and sweetness
of the virtue Of gratitude. They who take
gifts and who forget the fact and value of
kindnesses bestowed are like to lapse into
hopeless thoughtlessness and become selfish
and hard Of heart. When we come together
to render Thanks to Almighty God and to
Praise His name there is hope for us, hope for
our children, hope for the world about us, far
and near. The emotion which prompts
people to return thanks for the blessings OF
the year reaches down into each single heart
and finds expression there. We are like to
forget those who have wrought for us and toll
ed for us and sacrificed of their own time and
substance in our behalf Time blunts the
edge of gratitude as well as of grief: heals
away thankfulness as well as sorrow; causes
us to look with too calm philosophy upon
kindly deeds done well as upon bereaye
ments suffered So the impulse of the Day is
\ hsalthful and .eedful one. Not only are We
reminded to return thanks fol- the good things
of this life; but we are moved to larger and
sresher and more actual Charity. Many is
the Samuel Salt whose honest paternal heart
will be moved by the "reminiscences Of the
moment to send tender and assuring word
90 his disobedient Sally telling her to fetch to
the old fireside her mate and her little ones;
nanny mile will loving sons and daughters
travel to sit again around the hearthstone of
their childhood; many is the dear old soul
who will be treasured and sanctifed of her
children by their returning presence; many
is the stranger whose lonesomeness will be |
warmed out Of him by the genial glow of hos !
qitality within the ssvory odor of the sacred |
Thanksgiving Turkey; many is the poor man |
and woman and child whose heart shall be |
lifted up and made glad by the generous hand |
Of sivers all unknown. Let Us be glad that
the Day has come; let us hallow it with GU
best and largest deeds of unostentatious be-
nevolence; let us make it Thanksgiving Day
long to be talked of and remembered.
SHIPPING FLOUR TO CALIFoNIA. Since the
settlement of Nevada by the pale faces until
quite recently it has been to a great extent
dependent upon California for breadstuff.
Now, however, Eastern Nevada, but particu-
Larry Humboldt County, is wholly independ-
emit of California so far as grain and -four are
concerned Paradise Valley produces sutfi-
Cont -four and barley for home consumption,
and has quite surplus left for export to
Eureka, Lander and Elko Counties. Not
outstanding this fact the Government, or
those who represent it ill San Francisco, sent
several car loads of flour here some six or
seven weeks ago to be forwarded to Harvey,
fcDermit and ether northern posts, Some
Of this -four vas sent north to its original {
destination and more or it was stored in the
warehouses at the depot. An order came
from the agents of the Government to ship
two car loads of this -four back to California, q
and persons not conversant with the facts will .
now imagine that Humboldt -four is being
shipped to California when in reality it is
only move to humbug Uncle Sam. The c
four ought not to have been sent here i'll the
FIRST place, there is plenty of the article c
made from Paradise grain in the county, but (
once here it looks ridiculous to send it back
