Let Us Give Thanks.

Today lie Thanksgiving Day-s legal
holiday by proclamation of the PRESS
dent of the United States and of the
Governors of the various States, and a
day on which we are all supposed to
recognize our indebtedness and render
thanks to our Maker for the manifold
blessings of tle past year. And we all
have many things to be thankful for.
Where His hand hath chastened us in
one respect, He hath o'ershadowed us
with HIS protecting wings, lest some
greater calamity belall us. Good health
has been vouehsafed most CT us, our
crops have been bountiful and the re-
turns therefrom better than for several
seasons past, and the outlook for the
coming year is indeed bright.
Let us then give thanks-from the
heart, and while doing so let US who
have plenty remember the better part,
that sit ia more blessed to give than to
receive" and that "the poor ye have
always with YOU"

Take Your County Paper.

We received this week the price of
four months subscription to THE HER.
AID from N. Rush, principal of the
school for colored children at Wahalak,
which we understand is In g Furnishing
condition.
And right here let us say that this lie
q step that should be taken by all our
teschers. Every teacher in Kemper
County, white or black, should take
and read one or the other of the county
papers. Notices from the County SUI
perintendent of Education appear in
both the Southern Star and THE KEN
PEI HERALD, and during the run of the
year many articles appear in each OF
them of interest and benefit to the
teacher.
Take your county paper and, where
there are two, 1t won't harm you to
take them both.

Tie s.Salon.,,

BY rtqueet, we publieh below the min
utee OF the last two meetings OF The
Salon." a eocial and literary organi-
zation which promises to aid greatly
In furDishing entertainment the long
evenings OF the coming Winter.
The Salon" for the past twelve
months sat down by the wayside spring,
tired and wesried, and was not until
now that the fount r~efreshment
brought into existence ohce more this
"Salon." Indeed, it bias come forth
again with freshness, and it is progress
ing as rapidly as the steps of a wood
lard fawn.
An open and enthusiastic meeting
was held Friday evening, November 13,
at the home Of Mrs. H. Rosenbaum,
where The Salon" had been invited to
meet. Mr.. Walter Williams was elect,
ed president, DIR. H. ". Rencher vice.
president, Miss Mary Kennon was re-
elected secretary, Mics Mary Stuart was
elected treasurer, and Mr.. Ed Irby,
Misses Kate Turner and Rachel Duke a
committee on arrangement of pro-
grsmmes. A discussion was had as to
what books should comprise the course
OF study for the evenings. This was not
fully decided, and was left for further
consideration.
This being all the business for this
meeting, the committee arranged pro-
grsmme for the next meeting, 1.-THE
Salon" adjourned, and refreshments
were served.
The last weekly meeting OF The Sa.
lon"-Friday evening, the Goth inst
at the home of Miss Kate Turner, was
minus the presence of some OF the mem
bers, owing to the extremely cold
weather, and on this account the pro-
gramme was incomplete.
The President, with unfailing duty,
gave account of "The Montgomery In
vincibles," Miss Clara White rendered
a sweet solo-"Consolation," and Miss
Mary Stuart played in pathetic notes
the Flower Song"
After this "The Salon" made sugges-
tons in regard to it's future interest, and
the President suggested "The Right Of
Way" for the next weeks study. If
the book runs in connection with its
name it will be the correct source for
"The Salon." in its new existence, and
it will not be ready for the suggested
Paradise Lost" until it is older grown
and it's days are to be no more.
After arranging programme, 1.-THE
Salon" adjourned until its next APP
pointed date.

Nor A SICK DAY SINCE.

ney trouble. I tried all sorts of medi.
Cines, one of which relieved me. One
day saw an ad. of your Electric Bitters
and determined to try that. After talk
ing q few doses I felt relieved, and soon
thereafter was entirely cured, and have
not seen a sick day since. Neighbors oil
mine have been cured of rheumatism,
neuralgia, liver and kidney troubles
and general debility" This ls what B.
