Thanksgiving Dav.

Thanksgiving day came iG with a
bleak and chill air sending the mer-
curry that night down to 22o but was
otherwise dry, crisp and bracing, and
thoroughly enjoyed.
The clouds that threatened snow
parted about church time and there
was fair sized Thanksgiving congre-
cation at the Methodist Church. The
choir followed a beautiful organ pre-
lude by a spirited anthem well sung,
Rev. John France making the opening
prayer in returning thanks for the past
and implOring continued blessings for
the future. The pastor, Rev. w. w.
w. Wilson followed in a timely dis
course from the 103 Psalm, 1st and 2nd
verses. s.--"Bless the Lord o Ny Soul :;
and all that is within me bless his holy
name; Bless the Lord o My Soul and
Forget not all His Benefits" The
speaker dwelt on the topics that would
naturally grow out of our obligations
to the bOuntiful dispenser of benefits.
referring towards the close to some
| things that were to be deprecated as
national and social evils. Rev. c. c..
Adams made the closing prayer rever-
ential in voice and thoughtful and fer
vent in spirit.
AS previously announced, this was
| followed by a vote on the question of
admitting women as delegates to the
| General Conference, the number Of
votes cast being IS. % for and 50
against. Another feature that
attracted the attention of persons
entering the upper vestibule was
the baskets of potatoes and bundles of
various other things placed there as
| thank offering for the poor The plate
was passed around for those who pre-
| ferred to contribute money instead of
provisions, and 5000 cents was
lifted.
The congregation of St. Peters
Church met in the chapel and in les
sons and services appropriate to the
! day and sermon of the rector, Rev. G..
w. Dame, the congregation was well
entertained Mr.. Dame began by re-
ferring to the Thanksgiving festival,
explaining that it was a harvest fes-
tival, after the crops were all gathered
in. He spoke of the Ancient Jewish
Feast of Ingathering, and gave some
description of the way in which it was
kept. He reminded his hearers ofhow
much they had to be thankful for, of
the countless blessings that they had
received, and, then, touching upon the
hard times of the year, he bade us look
about the rest of the country and over
Europe, and we would see that we
were no worse Off than our neighbors.
That we were apt in this age Of advan-
ced civilization to forget that every
thing beyond mere necessitieslSwere
luXuries, and it was far too common
among US to Overrate our trials and un-
dervalue our blessings, or ignore them
entirely. He then kade rs cultivate a
spirit of thankfulness.

The Business Men of Smyrna to the
Rescue.
TRADE, DEVIsING WAYS AND
MEANS To HELP BUSINESS. &c.

THE FORMATION OF A BOARD or
TRADE, DEVIsING WAYS AND
MEANS TO HELP BUSINESS, &c.
The statement of possible further
loss to the business Of our town by the
removal of the Messrs McGaw had the
tendency to stir our citizens and bring
them to some concerted action more
than anything heretofore has done.
There is hope in this awakening, for
with it may come the flow of an active
life-current whose pulsations NAV
eventually be felt throughout the
corporate body.
In pursuance to the informal call. a
large number of the business men OF
the town met in the Alderman's office
on Wednesday night, last, and on mo.
tiOn of Alex. G. Cummins, the Presi-
dent of the Town Board, John H. Hof-
feeker, was called to the Chair, and on
motion of DR.. Swinney, RObt, d. Hof-
ecker was made secretary.
After the object of the meeting was
stated, ID. J. Cummins called upon Mr.
John McGaw, who was present to state
whether the firm had definitely de.
clded to leave Smyrna for Newark
which was answered in the negative
and on the further inquiry whether, il
the same inducements were extended
by our citizens as had heen offered by
Newark, would it be etfectual in caus-
ing them to remain, he said it would
That they liked Smyrna, and the chic
hing IN prompting a charge was the

being on a trunk line. After some
&" ther discussion of the canning busi
ness and the facilities required. A. G.
Cummins, Robert Hill and A, E. Jar
dine were appointed a committe - &c
confer with Messrs McGaw & Bro
and report at the meeting on Friday
evening.
This was done ina re port read bv
Mr.. Jardine the paper stating that they
mad no grievance or no complaint
The matter of freight was found to bt
so low already that nothing could b,
done in this regard, and in lieu o
this they desired to extend their bust
ness by including the manufacture O
cans. To do this an increase of cani
tai became necessary.
A plan proposed as feasible wa,
the formation Of a stock company with
sufficient capital to properly carry OF
the business of manufacturing can
and the canning of fruits and vegeta
bles, which will require an act of In.
corporation by the Legislature.
This report ELECTED considerable dis
cussiOn especially the Limitation o
taxes-whether taxes can be levie,
and collected except exclusively 70
corporation benefits, and after sew
eral propositions as to committees. d
J. Cummins moved that A. y. Jardine

Of the day. The first was Jean Inge

seven different ages. Between seven
times five and six was a marriage scene
represented the widow giving her re-
naming daughter away in marriage in
which Fletcher Truax, II. L. Mason
+. NJ. Boyd and J. Ed. DeFord took
part as did also Misses Mary Anthony,
Sallie w. COsgriH and Ida Lord.
Misses Bertha Price, Elva Staats,
Lizzie Turner and Ada Truax had very
prominent parts and sustained their
characters well.
Much of the effect of this beautiful
conception of the romance of life was
lost on those not familiar with the
poem of Miss Ingelow, which might
have been remedied by a description
from the stage of what was to follow
in the scenic representations.
As an interlude between this and
the "Gypsies Festival" was the song of
the Milk Maid-"NobOdy axed you sir
she said" II was taken by Master
Richbell Jones and Miss Hildah Wells
and was rendered in manner that
charmed the whole audience. They
were rapturOusly encored and repeated
with equal grace.
The Gypsies Festival opened with a
a pretty forest scene, the Gypsies in
their striking attire on either side, the

EVENING.

The Presbyterian Sunday. School
held its anniversary at o'clock in the
evening. The ingathering of the har-
vest, the real thing to be thankful for
in thus cOmmemOrating Thanksgiving
Day-was cOmmemOrated by products
in ripened shocks of corn, pumpkins
and other things of fruits, flowers and
grasses; interspersed with golden ears
of corn.
The services commenced by a pre-
lude from the orchestra, old Hundred
by the congregation, invocation, by the
pastor, Rev c. c. Adams, singing,
the reading in concert of the CIV Palm
&c. "a Swarm of Bees" as noted on
the program, was carried out by a
large class, all wearing the letter "B {"
and repeating a verse or passage denot-
ing something to be, as be good, be
cheerful &c. The Spectrum of Love"
was another noticeable feature
scholars bearing the respective colors
of the Rainbow, the cOlors of which
when blended together made a white
light-the Spectrum of Love. The
elucdatiOn of this formed the princi
pal feature of the pastors address.
The choir rendered some good music.
including a solo by the leader, j. Ed.

port, showed the school to be in good
condition, with a slight increase in the
contributions.
