Thanksgiving day, known nowhere
else than in the United States, as
national institution, is of decided mod
ern invention. President Lincoln, just
40 years ago, was moved by the great
victories of Gettysburg, Vicksburg,
and other points, these coming thick
and fast after so many previous disas-
ters, to designate a day in which the
people of the entire nation might meet
and render thanks to God. This first
national Thanksgiving day was designed
to be distinctly religious in it's character,
and the intent of the president was un-
derstood and carried out by the people.
The churches of the cities and towns
and villages were filed that day with
fathers and mothers and sisters who
offered grateful prayers to God for the
victories won and for the preservation
of their loved ones who moved daily
amid scenes of imminent danger.
True. the Thanksgiving day idea
dates back of this. The -andful Of
Pilgrims in Massachusetts, in the year
following their landing at Plymouth,
met in their church in obedience to
the governors proclamation to return
thanks for generous harvest. In
termittently thereafter for many years,
and then regularly each year, the day
was commemorated, spreading through
out the New England states 1t did
not reach New York state until 1921
and was regarded indiffePently by many
states until Lincoln gave it national
stan Ling.
Washington did make two Thanks
giving proclamations, but only at the
suggestion of the congress. Two sub
seduent presidents fatty declined to is
sue such proclamations, insisting that
the silence of the constitution as to re-
ligion forbade any such exercise OF
power by the chief executive.
Hence, it is within reason and right
to say that Thanksgiving day, as ma
tioDal festival, began in 1863, and was
= instituted by President Lincoln.
But by a rapid process of evolution
the religious feature, that which gave

rise to the day. has beer diminished.
In larger cities but a limited number
Of churches open their doors for serv-
ices. while in the smaller ones single
house of worship will conduct what is
termed union service for all denom-
nations. Usually there are many va
cant pews in those churches that are
opened.
The day has developed into home
day, one in which the loved ones meet
with glad hearts, and doubtless thank
full ones, too, and felicitate one an
other that it is as we'll with them as
it is. Those who live at distance.
and those who are travelling upon the
road, turn their faces towards the
home roof in advance of the coming
of Thanksgiving day. that they of one
blood may be together on that day,
and spend the hours in recalling the
past, SO much of it as is pleasant Or
they engage in joyful songs, or inno-
cent pastimes. all filled and thrilled
with the goodness of life
Whether or not the people are less
religious than formerly does not enter
into this discussion. There are 50 days
in the year set apart for Sunday
church observance, and the people by
a sort of common consent have seen
fit to send this, the one day of the
year, under their own vine and fig
tree, undisturbed by callers, holding
communion with those who are bone of
their bone and flesh of their flesh.
Surely there can be nothing in con-
travention of religion in the home sem
timent, that is so marked feature Of
Thanksgiving day. The home is the
safety of the state. 1t is here that
youth receives it's influences for good
or i'll. 1t is here that men are made
or unmade. Can there be higher tribute
to the benefcent influences of home
life and the happiness of it than the
! modern universal practice in these
states Of every man and woman, with
their children, making a home day"
! Of Thanksgiving? May not the happy
| hearts and glad faces of these home
! gatherers be a pleasanter sight in
! Gods eyes than the spectacle of long
/ and solemn-faced couples going to
church to sing solemn psalms In any
event one may not sacrifice any spirit
of gratitude to the good God for His
mercies because his heart is glad and
warm in the surroundings of a loved
and lovable home.
Yet blessed is that nation whose
God is the Lord, and it was a happy
suggestion that came to the great Lin.
clon to nationalize one day Of the yeal
in which to praise the Lord because He
is God, and to give thanks to His holy
name for mercies that endure from
generation to generation.

the times when the colonists though
they had most cause to be thankful fol-
something. Sometimes it was for the
full harvest, and sometimes it was foi
rain after a long, dry time that they
feared would ruin all the crops.
In these early Thanksgiving days
the children were not thought of first
and foremost as they are in good
many homes to-day. They were expect
ed to keep in, the background, and the
little girls had to help their mothers
to keep house, and after that was kept
they had to keep right on being prim
and proper to such an extent that they
didn't always have as much fun as
their brothers. The boys used to play
wicket on the commons, and football
all over the place, so that in 1857 an
ordinance was passed forbidding the
playing of football in the streets or

the little girls. The mothers didnf
wish the dolls to play with, but fol
models for their best dresses, for the
dolls, you ought to know, were dressed
by dressmakers and milliners in Lon
| don and Paris and sent over here for
| fashion plates, and for many years all
the dolls our great-great-g randmothers
had to play with were made of rags. An0
pretty nice doll babies they made, too,
you will admit.
| "Battledoors and shuttles,'' which
| the children used to play so much
came over in 1851, and marbles got
here ten years later, in October. sc
they must have been played in the
house or else with frost-nipped fingers
till spring came again.
There were no blocks of houses and
big cities then, but only separate and
| often widely-scattered homes. If a
big storm came the farmers had to get
but their numbering OK wagons just as
| they do in the far western country to-
| day and break the roads Sometimes
| the storms were so heavy that the ex-

the snow drifts. and the Thanksgiving
dinner had to be eaten by the family
all alone But the family was general

| didn't have their looked-for company
to play with they had each other.
In those early days there were no
steam radiators or furnaces or stoves,
and all the fun-making on Thanksgiy-
| ing day that was done indoors had to
be done in the big living-rocm, where
the huge fireplace blazed and cracked
with its great logs and piles Of under

The Local Newspaper.

Maj. JAS. II. Bacon, the sage of
Edgefield, says some very true and
good things in his plain way. Here
is what he said about the local news
paper in recent issue and we agree
with him:
1t is to the interest of every town
to support a good newspaper, not
through local pride alone, but for
thorough practical business reasons.
A newspaper is constantly doing ten
times as much for its town as it
could ever hope to get pay for-more
than it could charge for, if it would.
The more prosperous paper is the
more it is able to do. Show us a
good weekly paper, full of local ads,
with general circulation throughout
the county, and we will show you an
up-to-date, prosperous, progressive
community.

it was green and hardly in condi-
