dered sage. parsley or minced onion,
sage being the seasoning usually pre-
ferred. DO not press the dressing in

the way to have the turkey appear on

often. Have the oven hot, but not so
that it will scorch or shrivel up. In

stew until soft and not much water
left, mash fins or rub through col
ander. For each pie use one whole
egg and the yolks of two others, we'll
beaten, one-third Of cup of butter
and one-half cup of sugar. Bake in
one crust and when done cover with O
meringue made of whites of two eggs,
frothed, sweetened and favored. Set
in the oven to harden and eat cold.

beaten egg, a good half cup of sugar,
two tablespoonfuls of stewed pumpkin,
half pint of rich sweet milk, little
salt and ginger and cinnamon to taste.
Spiced Cake-One cup of sugar, one
cup molasses, two-thirds of cup Of

First Thanksgiving Proclamation by .
Governor.

In 1917 came the first Thanksgiving
proclamation from the Governor OF
State outside os New England.
Thanksgiving Day proclamations were
issued in an irregular sort of way for
many years after that date, but the
day was not fixed holiday. After
the battle of Gettysburg, in 1853,
President Lincoln recommended the
people to set apart the 9th day of
August "to be observed as day Of
national thanksgiving, praise and
prayer to Almighty God" The follow
ing year the President issued another
proclamation, and they have been an
nual fixtures ever since.

The Chicago Times Herald says:
'The Atlanta Constitution in recent
editorial comments in terms of just
exultation over the continuing indus
trial progress of the south. OF that
progress the Times-Herald has
frequently spoken, for there is scarcely
province of human industry that the
southern people are not entering upon
with more or less success. In the
great manufacturing industries of iron
and cotton they are making marvellous
progress, bidding fair to rival if not
to outstrip the northern states in
these particular lines, while in the
lesser departments the increase is
quite as gratifying. The Constitu-
ton, quoting from the Chattanooga
Tradesman, gives a list of 474 new
concerns that have been established
in the various states of the south dur.

A Painful Rumor.

ernor decided on 3 change Was because be
heard that awful story about Mills first

1t is said by some old Isaac Waltons Of
the Lake that one day while Mills was
fishing from the stern Of Q boat near
Glenbrook he was seen to catch several

INDUCING in more or less profanity mean
while. At last he came ashore and made
the startling announcement that all the
