THANKSGIVING.

Thursday is Thanksgiving and
as it has been set apart by the
President of the United States
and the Governor of this State as
a day TO return thanks to the
Giver Of every good and perfect
gift" it should and will be relig
iously and devoutly observed
by our people of all creeds and
classes. Truly the people of our
city and section have been bless
ed ia things temporal as they
have never been blessed before
and with grateful hearts they
should unite in a service Of
praise and thanksgiving.
We have much to be thankful
for. The nation is at peace with
the world and while recent events
serve to emphasize the belief
that the peaceful conditions of
this section will be disturbed,
that period is not here and as
long as it is postponed itinspires
the hope that it will never come.
The South in particular is pros
pering and this prosperity is es-
pecially true of our section. A
succession of bountiful crops
have placed the country in bet
ter condition than it has been IN
years and the industrial develop
ment of our beautiful city has
been the cause of rejoicing to all.
We have been free from plague
and pestilence and peace and
plenty greet US on every hand.
Then let US be thankful and
show our gratitude in general
thanksgiving and in remem Der
ing those whom fortune has not
dealt so kindly. They are with
as always and Thursday will be
a propitious time to add cheer
and happiness to their lives with
( generous gifts, offerings of our
gratitude. Thursday is the day.
Let all observe it.
