Thanksgiving Services.

At the request of Rev. j. A. Parker,
seconded by some OF our citizens, Prof.
H. B. Hines, principal of the Colfax
High School, has kindly consented to
take charge of the Thanksgiving serv-
ices to- be held in the Colfax M. E.
church at 1890 a. m. on Thursday
Nov. oath.
We learn that Revs. J. A. Parker
and l. NJ. Brian will hold joint
Thanksgiving service in Boyce, and
it is hoped that all the business hous-
es will close for an hour or two in the
middle of the day to give their clerks
and employees an opportunity to at
tend.
1t is to be hoped that the people of
Colfax will show like disposition to
thus honor the day. To gorge the
belly with big dinner, go on a hunt
ing drive, or merely pass the day in
social amenities or purely personal
qualification, is hardly in keeping
with the true Thanksgiving spirit.
Let us carry out the letter and the
spirit OF the President'sp proclamation
when he invites all 'to come together
in their several places of worship for
a service OF praise and thanks to AL
mighty God for oil the blessings of
the year; for the mildness OF the seas
ons and the fruitfulness OF the soil for
the continued prosperity OF the peo-
pie; for the devotion and valor OF our
countrymen; for the glory of our vic
tory and the hope of a righteous
peace, and to pray that the divine
guidance which has brought us here
tofore to safety and honor may be
graciously continued in the years to
come"
