is not likely to happen on any Thanks
giving Day. The Seaboard Air Line
Band paraded the streets discoursing
excellent music. attracting much at
tention and winning unstinted praise,
and religious services were held as per
announcement in yesterday mornings
Nlrginia-Pilot Sunday hours were OBJ
served at the postonice, and. with the
exception of the Police Court and sta
ton, business was practically suspend
ed in all the municipal State and Fed
eral departments of the respective gov
ernments. Many thanksgiving offerings
were made. an account of which will
be found elsewhere in to-day's paper
Upon the whole it was n quiet Thanks
giving Day and was noticeable because
OF n suspension of business generally.

on certain piece of Norfolk property.
SO as to give Mr.. Swami possession Of

MI. Swami has taken advantage of
the "Land-Grabbers' Act, and has
filed about 500 claims for property in
virginia, on which there are delinouent
tax claims. Between fifty and ftfty-fivc
claims were filed by him for Norfolk

nled sometime ago, and some of the
property owners paid up the back tax

lieve in expansion for out of it shall

our own small way. We are all in the
same boat and we will not get to shore
any quicker by turning and rending
each others. Denunciations will not
do it. Demagoglsm will not do it. The
rousing of hatred will not do it. 1t is
not the poor alone who suffer, the en-
ployer is just as much a slave to COM

and pray together. We must solve to-

be better able to come with tomorrow's
difficulties.
