The Vinita daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1902-1913, 1906-11-28

III the busy rush of living very few
people find time to be thankful for or
realize the everyday and vital bless
ings that are curing in upon them.
The Puritans must have recognized
this even in their day, when they In
augurated a custom that has become
as firmly fixed as the constitution OF
the United States. While the ad-
herents Of the Pilgrim church, which
was exiled from England in 1908 and
sent a colony over to New England
In the Mayfower in 1920, are unques-
tionably to be credited with our ma
tional Thanksgiving day, which ap-
peals so deeply to the heart OF the
patriotic American the custom OF
thanksgiving was undoubtedly sug-
gested by the Hebrew Feast Of the
Tabernacles" or Feast Of Ingather-
ing at the end Of the year. 0cca-
sional thanksgiving was not unusual
in Europe
After the first harvest of the colon
lists at Plymouth in 1921 Gov. Bradford
sent four men out towing that they
might rejoice and celebr2te in feast
ing together. In July, 1922, a day Of
fasting and prayer was appointed or
account OF tho drought Ram came
while the people we're praying and the
governor appointed a day for thanks
giving which was observed with re-
iigious service. There was similar
change Of fast-day into Thanksgiving
in 1881, when supplies came from Ire
land. All of these earlier appoint
ments, however. were made at various
seasons Of the year and for special
purposes-usually for the timely ar
rival OF ships with supplies-but IN
later yeers on account of the harvests.
This substantiated a fixed Thanksgiv-
ing day late in the fall after the har-
vest time was over, and also the cele-
bration Of the day by first religious
service and then a feast When the
revolutionary war began Thanksgiv-
ing had become a national holiday and
was annually recommended by con
gress. However, after the general
thanksgiving for peace in 1884 there
was no national appointment until
1889 when President Washington by
a request Of congress, recommended
setting aside day of thanks for the
adoption of the constitution. In later
wears during the civil war, Lincoln
issued a proclamation recommending
a srecial thanksgiving for victory in
1862 and 1868. Since then proclama-
tlons have been made by the president
and governors of the various states,
and custom has fixed the date on the
last Thursday in November.
It Is 2S4 years since that first
THANKSGIVING dinner In New England
was eaten. but to many Of us the
aroma of the turkey as we gather
around the table. surrounded by fam
iiy and friends to offer up thanks for
the abundance Of worldly goods with
which our households have been sup
piled. viii recall the legends OF the
old New England days and review the
customs OF that Thanksgiving in Ply
mouth in 1921. With a little stretch
Of the Imagination one can almost dis
cern that throng Of sober-looking
bearded men. clad in dark colored gar
ments and wearing steeple-crowned
hats. with here and there among them
the women with quantity shaped hoods
and devoid OF ribbons. jewelry and or
naments. It was such gathering as
this that Hester Prynne faced when
condemned to wear the scarlet letter.

Accompanying the resignation was
the following statement:

to be a vital one, and that even il
Andrew Carnegie refuses, the same
question is likely to arise if some
other trust magnet invites requests.

than to withdraw from it's

NOT THE LOST BOY
THE BOY is WITHOUT THE eAR-MARk

Marion was thrown into quite q
Juror of excitement last week by tn,
announcement that Richmond 'Byers.
the long lost son of DR. H. s. Dyer.
of Scelyevillc, Ind, had been found
and that he was at present residing
with Mr. Nathan Maynard, an old
gentleman whose farm lies near the
Crittenden Springs. So strong was
the resemblance to the photograph of
the lost boy, even a. to eyes, color
of hair, etc, that all doubt of his
identity seemed dispelled Several
Of our leading citizens took up the
matter and communicated with DR..
Byers. and Hon. Tho>. Cochran
talked to the Doctor at Evansville
over the phone and assured him that
his hoy was certainly in Crittenden
county without the peradventure Of a
doubt.
Urged on BY these representations
DR.. Byers arrived in Marion Friday
night last on the 80 train and early
Saturday morning, in company with
Mr.. Al. Pickens, drove out to the
Maynard farm.
When the rumor spread over the
city Saturday morning that the lost
boy had been found and that his ia.
ther had gone out to claim him. the
town was instantly on the qui vive
and anxious expectancy marked every
countenance. About 10 o clock the
parties returned to Marion, but
without the boy. The disappoint-
uent OF our people was keen aud
chilling, and was readily expressed.
In conversation DIR. Byers stated that
the boy wonderfully resembled his
son Richmond, but there was one ia
tai defect in the resemblance. there
was no nick in the ear and no scar to
indicate that there ever had been
one.
br. Byers is pleasant gentleman
10 conversation, is middle-sged with
gray hair, made so more BY grief
than time. OF course be felt kcenly
this additional disappointment
He left Saturday to investigate an
other clew, followed by the heartfelt
wishes of our people that wise and
just God will yet restore the wander
er to the arms of hi, loving and stric-
ken parents.
But who is the boy at Nathan
Maynard's?

Wallace married beautiful and pop
ular young woman at Wheatcroft BY
the name of Hicks. II seems that
they were not congenIal, on the con

The union was most unhappy one,
and a. a consequence they were sep

times have they separated and after
each time they would make up and
agree to live together again About
two weeks ago they separated again
and the young wife packed up her
duds aud proceeded to the home of
her parents. Wallace. il is said.
again tried to bring about reconcil-
iation, but Mrs Wallace would not
listen to the proposition and thereup-
on he determined TO have revenge.
Nothing less, no doubt, than the
blood Of his young wife would sat

walked deliberately up to the two

he did this he leveled pistol direct

MERGED INTO THE UNION PACIFIC
[St. Louis Globe Democrat. /

Many persons will regret the acqui
sion of the llIinois Central by Ed
ward n. Hartman, If the report b,
true that the road has gone under tn,
control of that magnet though the
regret will be chiefly for sentimental
reasons. There is not the slightest
probability that any stakeholder OF
the road will suffer by the change.
Hartman, as the controlling head of
the Union Pacific, tie Central Paci-
fc and several other important lines,
is one of the greatest railroad mana
gers in the country. With the Hi
nois Central under his guidance, he
will have control of the largest group
of roads in the United States, with "A
length of over Fl, 900 miles, as com
pared with 80, 900 each by the Van
derbilt and the Pennsylvania groups,
10, 900 by the Hill syndicate, and
smaller holdings by the Gonlds and
other parties
The Illinois Central was for many
years the longest railroad in this
country. With history of ffty-one
years it Is one of the Oldest of all the
big western roads. II was the sec
ond road to enter Chicago, the North
western antedating it by twelve
It. has long had reputation for
and safe management.
No road did more to build up Illinois
and its principal city than did the
Illinois Central. Much OF the growth
OF Chicago from 80. 900 tifty-fve
years ago, to 1000, 900 now is due
to that roads activity.
Along to this time the Illinois Cen
trail had resisted that tendency to-
ward consolidation which was forcing
all the railways OF the country into
half dozen great coalitions, .but
now, apparently, it has accepted the
inevitable. In all the larger activi-
ties concentration is under way, and
the big Illinois road could not stand
out against the tide any longer Pro-
badly in no other great road in the
country has there been such fraternal
feeling between the heads of the line
and the stockholders. The stock of
the road is widely distributed, but
at the annual meetings every owner
of share Of stock is welcomed; he
is entertained by the road during the
meetings, and his suggestions or cri-
ticisms are listened to with attention.
The Illinois Central is one of the
middle vests oldest institutions and
the loss of its identity in the larger
group in which it is to be merged,
is a fact of much social and histori
cal interest to the section which it
has served for over half century.
