"THH LIBERTY TREE"
Tablet Erected by Society, Sons Of the

News and Courier.)
A tablet has been erected by the
South Carolina Society, Sons of the
American Revolution, on q gate post
of the premises No. % Alexander street,
near the spot where the famous liberty
tree stood, and which was burned down
by the British in the latter days of the
Revolution.
The spot where the tree stood marked
the place where the early revolutionists
were wont to gather and discuss the
conditions of the country and it was
there where the most prominent revolu-
tionists in this part of the country
pledged themselves to stand by and
back any effort to throw off the yoke
of England.
It a fitting that the spot should be
marked by the Sons of the Revolution,
and thus commemorate some important
events in the history of this country.
Following is the inscription on the tab
let:
Near This Spot
Once Stood
The Liberty Tree,
Where Colonial Independence
Was First Advocated by
Christopher Gadsden,
A. D., 1766.
And Where, Ten Years Later,
The Declaration of
independence
Was First Heard
And Applauded by
South Carolinians.

ARE WE THANKFUL.

Another year has almost run Its
course, and as we look back upon the
past do we see anything for which to
be thankful? Has Providence bsen
kind to US and have we availed our
selves OF the many opportunities for
success and advancement morally, in
tellectually and commercially opened
to us? Surely no creature created in
His divine image can look back upon
the days, weeks and months of the past
year and find no cause for thanks Civ
ing. As nation we have been Won
derfully blest, and az people OF Ok
lahoina we have enjoyed most pros
porous season. We could not attempt
to enumerate the many blessings that
we have received as people for our
magnificent comnonwealth-the forty
sixth State-has attracted the atten-
tion of the country. and all eyes are
turned approvingiy upon Oklahoma
truely, the land Of the Fair God.
Even as individuals we all have
cause for thanksgiving. We have been
blest with health, home, friends and
happiness. True, we may all have had
SORROWS and burdens to bear, but as we
look around us and see our fair land
unblemished by pestilence, and the
bountifui harvest that has Just been
rsaped and the happy homes mad pos
sible thereby, we should lift up thank
full hearts in praise TO the Giver OF all
good things.

Young ladies should remember that
IL they do not respect themselves no

will not always shield the young lady
from the attacks of the character as

the effects of those who would exag-
