The Democrats of this county
and section have kindly said
good things concerning the manner
their press has conducted this cam
paign, which which we appreciate in
no small degree. Yet we have done
no more than our duty. Our time,
our talents, our money we gave in
getting up and disseminating Demo-
cratic doctrines, and it shall always be
our pleasure to thus serve our party
and country. We only ask the coop
Grafton of all people who love their
country's cause. The moro you aid
us by extending our circulation, by
giving us your patronage in adver-
Using and job work, the more able
will we be to contribute to political
work. The Democratic press of Mt.
Sterling need the Democratic patron
age, and they certainly merit it. If
you want your public servants to give
you the full benefits of their powers
they must live by the remuneration of
their services. Likewise, if you want
your press to successfully expose and
defend your principles, you must hold
up their hands. You should not wait
for some representative to call and
solicit your patronage, but, knowing
your duty, you should call at their
place of business and place your orders
the same as your patrons call on you.
We would not wish to be under
stood as complaining, for we have re-
ceived, liberala share of patronage
and for it we are truly grateful.

Thanksgiving Day in the South.
BY REV. j. j. LEE, d. d.

BY REV. j. j. LEE, d. ID.
1t is only within recent years that
Thanksgiving Day has been observed
in the South.
Tie customs that accompany the
day in New England, where the OBJ
servance originated, are now gener-
allowed here. The people gather at
their respective places of worship,
where a sermon in keeping with the
purpose of the day is preached. Even
The traditional Thanksgiving dinner
which, we learn from reading, is
served in New England OH such occa-
sions, has come to be an important
feature of the day in the South. TuI-
key, and cranberry sauce, and celery,
and other things that are understood
10 be necessary to make up such a
dinner, are found here in well-regu-
lated families. Stores and other
places of business are closed, SO thai
the general appearance of things in
cities /, minds one of Sunday, The
coming of the day is hailed with II al
pleasure, and it is embraced and used
for the noble purpose of thanksgiving
and praise. Corn, and cotton, and
fruits, and other products of the field
and the orchard, are arranged in the
churches in shocks and heaps, while
the whole is relieved and enlivened
by chrysanthemnms of vaiious colors,
roses, and other flowers that grow in
the season. Those that relate to mans
well-being and pleasure arc accepted
as expressions If Gods disr osition Ia
provide for the wants of his children
Great preparation for the day is made
in the market, and there is coming to
be almost as much attention paid to II
as to Christmas Day. zga

holidays in the South by the unusual

The Republican National Com
mittee has sent out an appeal to the
party leaders throughout the country
for more money. The appeal SAYS
that the committee is about $4,000 in
debt, and Chairman Garter thinks the
best way to get it is to call upon the
"good" mon Of the party f5r it. He
says the deficit was caused by big
subscribers to the campaign fund who

failed to pay w.

quietness that prevails. 1t promises
more of rest and hope and spiritual
enrichment than do any of the days
of religious character set apart for
us to observe. The immense number
of small boys to be found in the
South, and their capacity for making
a noise, and the facility with which
they secure fre-crackers and other
things of like character that were
created solely for the purpose of MAX
ing noise, have made of Christmas
Day season to be dreaded rather
than to be enjoyed.
1t has never been used in the South
as day for the coming together of
families. This has always been one
of the leading features of the Christ
mas season. In fact, the week from
Christmas Day to New Years Day
was formerly used in the South as a
holiday week. The festivals and
feast days and thanksgiving days of
the year were crowded into this one
season. Christmas time was to the
Southern people what Thanksgiving
Day was to the New England people.
The Puritans magnified Thanksgiv-
ing Day, and discounted Christmas.
Among the Southern people the Cav
aier element predominated, and so
they ignored Thanksgiving Day and
emphasized the Christmas season.
But now Christmas Day has gone to
New England, and Thanksgiving Day
has come South. The Puritan and
the Cavalier have exchanged days,
and with the mlngling of days let us
hope there will also come that ming
ling of sympathy and goodwill that
both Thanksgiving Day and Christ
mas Day were intended to call forth
and foster.

Thanksgiving Time In the Far West
BY REV. JOHN X. MCLEAN d. d.

BY Rev. JOHN X. MCLEAN d. d.
So far as the mere manner of OBJ
serving the day is concerned, Thanks
giving in the far West has not so very
much to distinguish it from the tradi-
tionaI Thanksgiving in the far East.
Naturally. family gatherings will be
fewer and smaller, although it is quite
surprising to find how large an array
of kith and kin can in some instances
be mustered about the festal board
even here. Throughout the Pacific
coast generally presume the religious
service is not SO well attended as in
the East.
There is here, probably, very
much greater accentuation put upon,
of-doors sports and diversions, base bal
football, tennis and cycle meets. And
to thes. is to be added, a specially,
with us, walking parties, hill and
mountain climbing; our November
weather, walking, and temperature,
together with accessibility of heights,
both open and wooded, rising to two
thousand and twenty-five hundred
feet invite to this.
And speaking for central and espe-
cially for southern California, the
general environment and many of the
incidenials of the day vary greatl6
from those known at the East. ]

seasons known the need ofhaving the
