DEFAULT TAKEN OFF.
Proceedings Against Bondsmen For
Milk Dealers Stayed.
Trouble Caused by Failure Of Clerk TO
File the R:asOn Of Appeal.

A number OF millxmen who took ap-
peals from the decision OF the Sixth
District Court finding them guilty OF
selling adulterated milk failed, through
the neglect of the clerk OF their attor-
ney, to file their reasons OF appeal. The
men appeared in the common pleas di-
vision OF the Supreme Court and plead
ed nolo contendere and were fined.
Their failure TO Gle reasons of appeal
brought their cases within the province
of the attorney general, and writs were
issued TO bring the bondsmen into court,
the tondsmen assuming the obligation
that IL the reasons OF appeal were not
filed they should pay the penalty.
The costs on the writs amounted to
IS in each instance, and the attorney
for the milkmen asked Judge Wilbur "a
remit these costs and stay further ser

These suggestions did not meet with
! the approval of Attorney General Tan

firm, b. F. Reynolds. has accepted the
lasters' new price list. and his men were
ordered back to work this morning.
The local strike situation. outside of

Tuesday, with it's expected develop
ments as relating TO factories OF the
district outside of this city, is eagerly

manufacturers wotffd expedite negotfa-
tions for settlement Of the trouble;
rejection means that the strike will

OUR THANKSGIVING DAY.
A Grand Custom Which Has Been Re-
IIglOusly Kept Since Its Institu-
tiOn by the Pilgrim Fathers.

There is no country in the world
that celebrates Thanksgiving day as
our own.
From the time the Pilgrim fathers
landed and instituted this festival, it
has been religiously kept. In their
poverty and hard labor, when cultivat-
ing the sterile soil of New England,
they felt deep sense of gratitude
when the season for gathering the
crops arrived, and day for thanking
the Giver of all good was set aside.
Even the ancient Hebrews went up
to Jerusalem at the harvest season to
worship in the holy temple-a once-a-
year festival and one to correspond
with our Thanksgiving.
The most beautiful feature of the
day apart from the real meaning is the
recognition of family ties-a holiday
for the home coming, the greeting of
the Children and grandchildren all un-
der the paternal roof, the social chat,
the exchanging of experiences. the
games of children-all combine to
make it day of social pleasure.
Then let memory linger around the
Thanksgiving table laden with good
things-the turkey, ducks, chicken
pies, to say nothing of the plum pud-
dings, mince pies, nuts, fruit, etc.
Many and sweet are the recollections
of such occasions, and bright and
strorg stands out the moving factor
of il all-the mother, loved and hon
ored-she il is who loves to gather to-
| gethcr her cwn around her and thinks
no labor toe great to give them pleas
ure. The home blessed by a good
mother has cause to keep grand
Thanksgiving, not only to praise God
for al. His bounty to the body, but for
a still greater blessing, mother who
ministers to both body and soul.
| Would that all of our readers could
gather around them on this Thanks
| giving day all their loved ones, and
unite with grateful hearts in giving
thanks for all the blessings which are
theirs.-Atlanta Constitution.

COLONIAL CORN FESTIVALS.
Pleasant Memories Recalled by StO-
ries of Thanksgiving Day Mer-
rymaking on the Farm.

Writing on the old-time corn-husk-
ing festival, as form of Thanksgiving
merriment, in the Woman's Home
Companion, Hezekiah Butterworth
says:
"At one of these corn festivals,
given for local charity in New Eng
land city, day was allotted to the
husking and the thanksgiving stories
of colonial days, and 1 was asked to
present some account of old huskings
and to arrange some of the old legends
en- tableau, in the spirit and coloring
of the past. My mind turned to set
ties, chimney-corners, red ears of
corn. pumpkins, great barns and cribs,
frosty airs and the full hunters moon.
I can seem to see those harvest seasons
now as used to know them with their
mellcwing splendors and joyous farm
life. and it is always pleasure to re-
peat the husking tales as they come
back to me, IS well as can; but no one
can tell them as did the old-time
natural story-tellers. To one who
lived on a farm in his boyhood the
memory of the husking must ever be
pleasing picture. How full of joy
Gus life those harvests were. The mel
low days of September passed; the
cranberry meadows grew red, the
fringed gentians bloomed; the witch
hazel flowered amid the falling of gold
and russet leavesi there was cidery
odor in the orchards where the ground
was covered with apples; the product
of the corn-felds was drawn away by
oxen and piled into heap, usually in
some sheltered meadow"

"And in his stead?" he questioned.
eagerly.
And Mary smiled; though she only
said: YOURSELF"
Blackwell carried away with him the
consummation of the most thorough
ly unbusiness-like business transac-
ton Of his life--but, with it, the mem
ory CT the loveliest girls face that he
had ever seen, transfigured now with
happiness and gratitude. And he also
carried with him the firm determine
tion-which. in years time, was hap

on writing at the strangers dictation.
The signature was also surprise
to the doctor. willard Blackwell!
Why, then. you are the head of the
firm yourself!"
~ am--is there anything strange
about that?"
"Oh, mol" said the doctor; but in
voluntarily he sighed, and to him
self he added: Poor things, poor
things!"
Another telegram was written to
Mr.. Blacllwell's friends, to explain his
enforced absence from their dinner
party on the morrow, and ther the
doctor left him, and Blackwell set
tied himself in grim endurance of the
evils from which he could not es-
cape.
By and by the door was softly
opened, and, through his half-closed
eyes, he saw pretty girl looking in
upon him.
"Hush, he's asleep-Tm glad Of
that" she said; and, from her pleas
ant voice he knew her to be, Mary
North. Then she drew back, and the
door was quietly closed.
But the next moment he heard her
voice again, and SO plainly that he
thought she must be in the room, al
though he had certainly seen the door
close upon her. He opened his eye:
and looked about him curiously; and
at last he saw that the room he wa;
in was connected with the one adjoin
ing it-where the speakers were-by
an uncovered stovepipe hole.

to hear Susan's shrewd Interpretation
of his action, and her scornful epithet
of pig"
His dinner and supper on that event
full day had certainly been meager
enough, though they were daintily
served by Mary herself; and his break
fast, next morning, was frugal, too
but not so the Thanksgiving dinner.
That was beautiful and bountiful re-
past deliciously cooked, and set out
by Susan and Mary. And Mrs. North
was brought to the table in her roll
ing chair; and Willard Blackwell left
his room, for the first time, to take his
place at the table with the family.
He looked so soldierly and handsome
with his head bandaged and his arm
in sling, that even Mary was sur
prised, and Susan certainly would
never have recognized him as the
grumpy, horrid, cross old man"
whom she had expected to see.
That Mrs. North had guessed his err
rand, he knew at once, by the way her
voice trembled and broke as she tried
to speak to him.
Susan was regarding him sternly-
] she could not for moment forget
that he was their "bitterest enemy"
But Mary's eyes met his, and their pa
thetic wistfulness went suddenly to
his heart.
He took Mrs. North's frail, white
hand and bent overit. "Excuse me for
speaking of it now" he said, "but you
don't understand my intentions in the
least. (He had not understood them
himself until that very moment
when he seemed to read them in
Mary's eyes.) beg you not to fear
that will ever do anything to take
from you the home which opened its
hospitable doors to the wounded
stranger. assure you. everything
can be rranged-without embarrass-
ing you in the least"
"God bless you, sir!" was all the
fIail little woman could find words to
say. But Blackwell, looking up, met
Mary's eyes again, and now they were
luminous like stars. And he thought
he heard her murmur: "An angel un-
awares!"
They took their places in silence
and reverently bent their heads:
"For the assurance we have just re
ceived, 0 Lord. we are truly thankful
breathed Susan, and though it was moi
at all what she had meant to say, II
was good and sufficient grace.

Blackwell spoke with curious,
anxious diffidence. ut occurs 20 me
that these-these kind ladies may not
be entirely prepared for my sudden

being Thanksgiving, you know-well,

is there any place in the village from
where you could send them in good,

they might like? I'd be no end
obliged and grateful to you-and you
don't think they'd be offended, do you?
I'm such a duffer, and I've made such
bad impression to start with, that
must depend on you to nelp me out"
The doctor had looked at him IN ut
ter amazement; but, as their eyes met
he nodded and smiled; and, muttering
his thanks, Blackwell thrust -oll
OF bank notes into his hand.
Hes not bad fellow, after all!'
the doctor said, triumphantly, to him
self; and presently the matter was al
arranged and the good doctor went re-
joicing OIL his way.
But as soon as Blackwell was alone
again, strange and discomforting fan
cies swarmed through his mind. Would
not this seem to his hostess merely 6

which was all that they had beer
