Early Thanksgiving Days.

The first recorded Thanksgiving was
the Hebrew feast of the tabernacles
The first national English Thanksgiv-
ing was on Sept s, 1888, for the defeat of
the Spanish armada
There have been but two English
Thanksgivings in this. century. One was
on February q. 1872, for the recovery of
the Prince of Wales from illness; the otn-
er: June q, 1887, for the Queens jubilee.
The New England Thanksgiving dates
from 1888, when the Massachusetts bay
colony set apart day for thanksgiving
The first national THANKSGIVING proc!a-
nations. were by Congress during the
Revolutionary War.
The first great American THANKSGIVING
day was in 1884 for the declaration of
peace. There was one more national
in 1885, and no other till
1853, when President Lincoln issued a ma
t!onal proclamation for day of thanks
giving. Since that time the president has
issued an annual clamation.-Journal

it a success any longer. Energetic

SETTLING for the last 10 years in the
fertile creek valleys and watering
places pre-empting the richest places,

golden and bounteous. For 20 years

closing out their herds. preparatory to

given them their commercial death

Where no heavy life loss occurs an
average profit of about $50 head on
