which may be mentioned the fence
about the court yard. This fence is
in a very dilapidated condition,
many of the posts of which are rot

fence should be placed about the
court yard for the purpose OF pro-
tecting the county property. The
side walk about the court yard is
also sadly in need OF repair, and we
would recommend that these repairs
be made at an early date.
"We made an examination Of the

we recommend that a competent
mechanic be employed to examine
and ascertain the condition of the
building and the cause of the appar-

the building is found to be in a dan
gerous condition, that it be repaired
as speedily as possible.

There is every year by custom and
by proclamation of president and
governors day of Thanksgiving. Up
on this day the American nation Of
fers to the throne of Divine Grace its
prayerful thanks and sings peans of
praise for the many bounties and
blessings that have been bestowed
upon our people. True, in this great
world there may be some who are un-
able to look back and point with pride
and thankfulness to many acts and
things connected with their lives, but
goodness always exceeds the bad and
the world Is constantly growing bet.
ter and brighter. Opportunities are
increasing and men are not slow to
take advantage of them.
The prayers of praise for the bene-
fits of the past and the prayers OF
supplications for other blessings to
follow will be needed by the Deity
and his constant care extended toward
us. No cataclysm of crime can erad-
icate from man the belief that he is
the creature of a supernatural power
and intelligence. The tendency of
scientific research is to strengthen
this belief by making more manifest
the wondrous works of God. 1t may
be considered doubtful if the belief
in mans divine origin was ever en-
lirely obliterated from any human
mind With this belief firmly planted
in the hearts and homes of this great
American nation and mindful OF the
true source of all earthly power and
blessings, it is fitting that in the tenn
pies erected by our people in which
to worship God according to the die
tates of their own conscience, that
they should meet together on this
day and give praise to Him who
watches over us.

Railroad development seems greatly
to have impressed President Johnson.
for in his third proclamation for the
last Thursday of November, he said:
"He has permitted us to multiply our
ships upon our lakes and rivers and
upon the high seas, and at the same
time to extend our iron roads so far
into the secluded places of the cont
nent as to guarantee speedy overland
intercourse between the two oceans"
President Grants proclamations
contained nothing out of the ordinary
except that in one year, Nov. 1S-not
the last Thursday-was made the hol-
iday, and he also issued a proclama-
ton calling for special thanksgiving
on July 4, 1876 on the one hundredth
anniversary of the nations birth.
The Grit-advocate., 1905-11-24

Although days of thanksgiving.
especially for the fruits Of the earth,
have been customary in all ages of
the world and in connection with
every form of religion, Thanksgiving
day as an annual harvest home and
family reunion under Christian aus
pices Is purely American institu-
tion and, outside of New England, Is
OF comparatively recent origin.
AS a national holiday it began in
the hea1 and heart Of Abraham Lin
coin, who proclaimed Nov. 26, 1863,
as a thanksgiving day for the stimuli
taneous victories of Gettysburg and
Vicksburg on July and for the
abundant harvests of that year, and
Nov. "a. 1864, as thanksgiving day
for similar blessings.
There had been other days set
apart for thanksgiving during the
war, but these were the first of the
unbroken series in the month of No
vember. President Johnson con-
tinued the custom out of respect for
Mr.. Lincoln, and it has been instinc-
lively recognized by every president
since. In several states the COVER
nors also make coincident proclama-
tions.
Though at present mostly a hal
owed memory, Thanksgiving day
when it was in it's prime, was one
of the noblest and most delightful
things in American civilization. Time
was when on this day all the churches
were thronged with cheerful and de-
vout worshipers, and the ministers,
speaking from bowers of corntops
and sheaves of wheat and pyramids
of pumpkins and red apples, moved
every heart by their tribute to the
divine goodness.
From the religious temples the peo-
pie turned to the family altars,
where the fires of filal devotion
burned just as briskly. The men,
bers of the household assembled.
some of them from remote localities,
to look into the changed counte-
nances of "the old people" perhaps
for the last time, sat down to a roy
al feast of good things, the greatest
feast of all being the revived and
overflowing family affections and the
inextinguishable attachment to the
family hearthstone. That was Amer
lean civilization in it's flower and fruit
age.
AS long as our people are home
loving people, as long as filial and
fraternal love are af1ame and as long
as We will cross mountains and trav.
erse continents to gather once more
at the old family homestead, to drop a
tear for the departed and to receive
the embrace of those who survive, our
institutions are safe.
- those who have reached middle life
can not but regret the partial de-
cadence of Thanksgiving day within
their own recollection. In our day it
is little more than secular holiday
devoted to athletic sports. The sec
ular holiday and the athletic sports
are, of course, good things in them
selves, but it is not pleasant to see
them take the place of an admirable
and invaluable social custom.
1t is a comfort to reflect that far
from the maddening crowd of the
great city, in numberless quiet vii
Lagos and country homes, Thanksgiv-
ing day is still observed in all its
original glory and beauty.

DISTRESS AFTER MEALS
Sure Sign That Dr.Wiiliams' Pink Pills
Are Needed to Tone Up tho
Digestive ORGANS.

Loss Of appetite, distress after eating,
shortness Of breath, a feeling of utter
weakness-these are symptoms that are
familiar to most sufferers from stomach
trouble. Too often the ordinary doctors
treatment serves but to weaken the dis
eased organs.
The new tonic method OF treating dis
orders Of this kind does not aim to do the
work Of the stomach, does not demand
that the food be pre-digested, but builds
mp the weakened organs, SO that they can
do the work that nature intended.

Horton, Kansas, says: "In 1897, while
we were living Oh farm in this neigh
