THANKSGIVING Is a time when the
preacher. gets into print FAR and wide,
and the sermons OF the day often have
n strong political flavor. II is related
OF a stanch Federalist pastor OF Con-
necticut. who included this prayful
sentence IN his Thanksgiving invoca-
ton: And Oh. Lord. endOw tile Pres
ident jefferson with a gOodly por-
ton OF Thy grace. FOR Thou. . Lord.

In those old days secular antipathies
and political prejudices were forgot
ten in the general rejoicing. II was an
occasion when old enemies made
friends. and rich and poor indulged ia
cider. mince pie and a fowl OF some
kind. No tramp went unfed. and even
the town pOorhouse had its turkey. In
the middle OF the century IL was Gus
tomary and fashionable 10 make calls

THE CHRISTMAS SEASON.

1t is gratifying that there are SO few
really poor people in Denisop. We
have rich and poor in the comparative
sense but cases of restitution are ex-
ceedingly rare in our busy and pros
porous town. Thus being the case
there should be no lack of Christmas
cheer for those who do need it. A
little thought on the part of those
having surplus OF comforts will mean
an abundance for those who would
otherwise do without. We know of q
few cases in town where the poverty
is the direct result of the intemperance
and general shiftlessness of the head
of the household. or rather of the man
who should be tie head of the house
hold. But the children are not to
blame for this. and in these homes it
in no other the blessings of the Christ
mas season should be showered. Put
on your thinking cap this week. Pre-
pare to act the part of Santa Claus to
some poor children and you will lift
your Christmas out of the ru5 of an
Exchange of presents" and make it a
time of pure delight.

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB.

The regular meeting of the Denison
Commercial Club last Wednesday was
an eye-opener to the business men of
Denison as to how interesting and
profitable such meetings can be made.
Instead of dearth OF subjects for dis
cussion there were so many that the
club was fairly stumped and laid the
majority of questions proposed on the
table for future discussion.
Rightly used the Commercial Club is
bound to become most useful instru-
ment for the public good. 1t promotes
good fellowship of the right kind,
make for united action and will do
much to up-build Denisor, Every bus
mess man interested in the growth of
our city should become an active work.
ing member of the Commercial club.
The way to get the good out of it is not
merely to join but to be part and par.
Gel of all that it does and to have a
voice in all that concerns the welfare
Of the city.
