The editor of the FruitJale Herald
harrangued his clientele in this YER
bage antedating Thanksgiving Day:
We trust that all of our readers
will have something to be thankful
for on Thursday. While the most Of
us have not acquired great amount
of this worlds goods during the past
year, yet that is far from being the
greatest Of blessings. Health, the
holding OF true friendship-the love
and respect Of our dear ones, a sweet
contentment, a clear conscience
should be all sufficient to bid us bow
the head and bend the knee in hum
bleness and gratitude to the Giver Of
all good to mankind. One does not
necessarily have to be Christian to
be truly thankful, nor does it require
a great amount Of courage, 50 upon
this day all are upon an equality,
and each may imbibe the spirit o.
tks nkfulness in its fullest measure.
