BLOOMINGTON NOTES.
Nuggets of News from the Banner
Inland Village of the County.

This is the week when the head
of the household touches up the axe
and gives it to the long and fondly
nourished adquatic fowl right in the
neck. Suspended at a proper elava-
ton from the nail in the rafter said
bird presents a pleasing and savory
appearance. It is the season when
Tom quits his big store, Dick his
bothersome stocks, Harry his big
building operations and Martha her
brownstone front on the avenue, and
all turn to the modest home in the
village or on the farm, where father
and mother await them and receive
their unreserved renewals of allegl-
ance to the old home, to them grown
dearer with the passing Of each ab-
sent year, full of the trials and ex-
elements of life. . Under the pro-
lection of this old home were
passed the happiest days of life, and
the heart turns back to them with
reverence, love and certain yearn-
ing to be made a child again just for
this glad Thanksgiving day. The
ioy of the reunion is mu tual between
parents and children. The pains
and difficulties of old age are forgot
ten, and once more in the patter OF
tiny grandchildren's feet come
pleasant visions of the dear old days
when the house swarmed with the
children. Let us be thankful for a
Thanksgiving day and a strength
ening of the family ties.
