In the absence of organized charity
to hunt up cases of restitution, the
Gazette would suggest that any case

this year of plenty, if only the knowl-
edge of their want is made known.

ton. Among these is the statement

other things besides the meannesses

collecting enough from the generous
people of that town to place the needy
family in comparative comfort for
some time to come. The Gazette is
always pleased to chronicle such Incl
dents. They help build up confidence
in human nature, which is not half so
sordid and selfish as some gloomy peo-
pie imagine it.

banks and postoffice were closed dur
ing most of the day, and the stores
daring tine AFTERNOON dinner hour.

the spirit of hospitality was manifest

skating and other amusements while
their elders went about their duties in
leisurely way. The turkey is bet
ter bird than the American eagle, at
least once in the year.
