GreenviIIe Citizens Meet at Baptisr
 Church at Early Hear.

VI AsNNASft AAVAAs
 Greenville, Nov. 24.--(special. LA sun rise thanksgiving service was held at the Baptist Church, this morning and was well attended. The service WAS simple and impressive. After Script ure reading by the pastor, songs and prayer, an opportunity was given all who would to give expression to their gratitude for the blessings they have enjoyed during the year. Many responded. giving utterance to heart felt thankfulness for many joys and comforts. The early moring hour, the beginning of the beautiful day, was well spent by those who Assembled for worship, and doubtless made this thanksgiving one to be ever remem- bered.
 At II o'clock. the usual hour for service, another thanksgiving service was held at the Methodist Church con dueted by the pastor. Appropriate music and Q sermon of eaFnestness and sincerity characterized the meeting. and thank offerings were made by many who felt that the year had brought much of life's blessings and joys to them. The old church. which will probably be replaced in the near future by modern, handsome struct- ure has been the scene of many beau- tiful thanksgiving services.

 Less than half an hour had elapsed since Faxon, on. his way afoot from his school to dine with Haines and his. daughter. hud heard high words from clump of trees near the creek by the roadside--words followed, by the report of a gun.

Dora knows I'm innocent, he said. and then some thing like a smile frightened his handsome features-a smile of tri- umph. Faxon made a move as if to withdraw.
